Prevalence and genomic insights of carbapenem resistant and ESBL producing Multidrug resistant Escherichia coli in urinary tract infections

  22 January 2025

Urinary tract infections are common worldwide, with multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli (MDR) being a major cause. Antimicrobial susceptibility profiling revealed 831 MDR E. coli isolates, with significant resistance patterns for various antibiotics. Whole Genome Sequencing of Carbapenem-resistant E. coli (CREC) revealed common NDM-5 gene and significant virulence factors. Pangenome analysis provides insights into the comparative genomics of MDR E. coli, enhancing our understanding of resistance traits.
