Phenotypical Detection of Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamases Producing Escherichia coli, from Clinical Isolates in Riyadh Region, Al-Kharj City, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Abstract: Background and objective: the aim of the present study was to identify the phenotypical detection of extended spectrum beta-lactamases, (ESBL) Phenomenon among Escherichia coli isolated from clinical samples in King Khalid Hospital and Price Sultan Center, Alkharj City, Riyadh Region, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Materials and Method: A total of 174 isolates of Escherichia coli were isolated by standard microbiological method, and identified by BD Phoenix system ( Becton Dickinson, USA), full automated microbiological machine confirmed by API 20 E ( BioMrieux, Marcy LEtoile, France). the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of the isolates was determined by BD Phoenix system confirmed by E. test ( Epsilometer test), (Oxioid, UK) according to CLSI guideline (2008). The Extended spectrum beta- lactamases (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli were screened by BD Phoenix system confirmed by double disk diffusion method. p- value
