  Background and objectives: Multidrug-resistant E. coli expressing extended-spectrum β-lactamase pose serious challenges to clinicians for the therapeutic management of clinical cases in urinary tract infection. The ability of beta-lactamase to cause resistance varies with its activity, quantity, cellular location of gram-negative organisms and its permeability of the producer strain. Therefore, this study was focused to determine the dominance of MDR E. coli and evaluation of status of β-lactamase enzyme produced by MDR E. coli. Materials and methods: A total of 321 successive midstream urine samples were processed among suspected cases of urinary tract infection. Standard microbiological techniques were used for isolation and identification of uropathogens. The antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of bac.. View More»
