Abstract EN
A total of 04 Escherichia coli (E.coli) isolates were recovered from women urinary tract infections (UTIs) in Al-Hilla teaching hospital, and private clinics.
Isolates were identified to species level with a VITEK-2 system.
Among the 40 women of UTI, 27(67.5%) had been preceded by a prior UTI and 13(32.5%) had not.
The susceptibility to 4 antibiotics were tested using disc diffusion test, resulting in 9(33.3%), 7(26%), 3(11.1%), 1(4%) were resistant to ampicillin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, ciprofloxacin, and nitrofurantion, respectively with prior UTI.
For detection extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing E.coli, all 40 isolates were tested by using double-disk test method, and then confirmed by using combination disk test.
The results showed that 10 (25%) were β-lactamase producing isolates
