| Core Tip |
Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) producing Escherichia coli is among the main pathogens in urinary tract infection including kidney transplant patients (KTPs). The aims of this study were: To estimate the prevalence of ESBL-producing E. coli in KTPs, as well as to evaluate the most prevalent serotypes and antibacterial susceptibility pattern of isolated bacteria in Tehran, Iran. The most important findings are: (1) The frequency of ESBL-producing E. coli in kidney transplant patients was found to be 33.4%; (2) High resistant rates to ampicillin (86%) and cefotaxim (80%) were documented; (3) The most frequent serotype was serotype I (50%); (4) The most frequently found related gene was blaTEM (55%); and (5) Further efforts to control ESBL-producing E. coli should emphasize the careful use of all antibiotics as well as barrier precautions to reduce spread. |
