Studies on ESBL producing uropathogenic E. coli isolates in Jordan

Atotal of 105 uropathogenic E. coli isolates cumulated from major hospitals/health centers in Jordan were characterized. They
exhibited a resistance ranged from 10.4% to 95.2% toward 16 different antibiotics whereas resistance toward human serum was
determined in 28 (26.6%) isolates which revealed an increase in their count ranged from 0.3 to 1.23, from 0.3 to 1.54 and from 0.3 to
0.477 logs after one, two and three interaction hours. 24 (22.8%) isolates were found as ESBL producers and of those, 10 isolates were
serum resistant. The obtained results represent a strong indication on the threat of uropathogenic E.coli strains in Jordan and on their
public health hazardous potential in nosocomial infections.
