First Detection of Resistance Genes Encoding Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase Producing Escherichia coli at Lome, Togo

Abstract: Background: Extended Spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) are enzymes produced by some bacteria that inactivate oxyimino-cephalosporins, a class of β-lactam antibiotics family. They are mainly encoded by the β-lactamase gene families TEM, SHV and CTX-M. The Enterobacteriaceae expressing these genes, in particular Escherichia coli are widely expanded in the world with different prevalence rate from one region to another. The objective of this study, carried out from strains isolated at the National Institute of Hygien… Show more

“…Imipenem was the most effective antimicrobial against E.coli, with a resistance rate of 9.09%. Resistance rates between the ranges 0% to 10% by E.coli to imipenem are globally comparable with several studies [9,[46][47][48]. Gentamicin proved to be the second most effective antimicrobial against both Klebsiella and E. coli isolates; including ESBL producers.…”

“…The prevalence of multiple drug resistance (MDR) among the studied isolates was 98.04%. This is considered to be very high and is in accordance with the reported findings of 85-100% in various parts of Nigeria and other African countries [28][29][30][31][32]. Hassan et al and Elsayed et al [33,14] also reported 100% and 95% MDR phenotypes respectively.…”

“…In Togo, results from previous studies revealed the presence of beta-lactamase gene CTX-M1 (95.73%), TEM (82.31%) and SHV (45.12%) in ESBL-producing E. coli and Klebsiella spp. The production of ESBL was associated with high co-resistance to fluoroquinolone (93% for ciprofloxacin), aminoglycosides (76.36% for gentamicin) and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (95.65%) [15, 16]. This high level of multidrug resistance suggests acquisition of plasmid-mediated antibiotic resistance factors in these strains.…”
