Molecular characterization of beta-lactamase genes produced by community-acquired uropathogenic Escherichia coli in Nouna

Abstract: Introduction: Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBL) are a common mechanism of bacterial resistance in Enterobacteriaceae. The purpose of this study is to characterize the ESBL genes produced by community-acquired uropathogenic Escherichia coli strains in the Nouna District, in the West-African country, Burkina Faso. Methodology: Samples were collected from non-hospitalized patients who came for consultation at the CMA (Centre Médical avec Antenne chirurgicale) in Nouna and were sent to the laboratory … Show more

“…The uropathogenic species were mainly E. coli (59.46%) and Klebsiella sp (32.43%). Urinary tract infections mainly affect women and uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is one of the main etiological factors [28]. Indeed, it is estimated that 40% of women and 12% of men experience at least one episode of symptomatic UTI during their lifetime, and that 27 to 48% of affected women suffer from recurrent UTIs [29].…”
