“…The Etest can confirm or detect a specific resistance phenotype like extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) producers. 28 This technique has shown a good correlation between the MIC values determined by Etest and those obtained by broth dilution or agar dilution methods. 29 , 30 The Etest is simple to implement and can be performed to investigate the antimicrobial interaction between 2 drugs, 31 which is why it is routinely requested by clinicians.…”

“…These enzymes are plasmid-mediated and are derived from point mutation of TEM on SHV β-lactamases 8 . Detection of ESBL producers and other acquired resistance mechanisms to beta-lactam antibiotics by phenotypic methods are very important to prevent spread to other patients in hospitals by implementing isolation procedures 9 . Recently, isolates from community acquired infections are reported more commonly than isolates from hospital acquired infections 10 .…”

“…Urinary tract infections (UTI), also known as acute cystitis or bladder infection are a serious threat to human health affecting millions of people annually resulting in high morbidity and mortality, UTI is common in both males and females, females are more susceptible than males, with three-quarters of UTI occurring in pregnant women and one quarter in nonpregnant women. It is the most common form of bacterial infection in women with more than 10% developing UTI every year [1].…”

“…The irrational and inappropriate use of betalactam drugs has led to the advent of resistant strains worldwide. Beta-lactam resistance is mainly attributed to acquiring beta-lactamase genes localized on mobile circular genetic elements such as plasmids or transposons [1,3].…”
