Isolates collected were recovered on MacConkey agar at 35<span style="white-space:nowrap;">°</span>C and were identified as members of Enterobacteriaceae, and further screened for antimicrobial susceptibility and resistance by disc diffusion method. Isolates resistant to oxyimino-cephalosporins were confirmed as ESBL producers using Double Disks Synergy Test (DDST). The study shows 66% resistance to ceftriaxone (30 μg) in <em>K. pneumoniae</em>, which was the highest value recorded and a 51% resistance to cefpodoxime (10 <em>μ</em>g) in <em>E. coli</em>. The sensitivity of <em>E. coli </em>and <em>K. pneumoniae</em> isolates to cefpodoxime (10 <em>μ</em>g) were 49% and 33.9% respectively. ESBLs were detected among 40% (40/100) of <em>E. coli</em> and 54.13% (59/109) of <em>K. pneumoniae</em> isolates. Molecular characterization of ESBL encoding genes among <em>E. coli</em> isolates using multiplex-PCR showed 10% prevalence of SHV gene and 5% prevalence for CTX-M gene while TEM gene was not detected. In <em>K. pneumoniae</em> isolates, 5% prevalence was recorded for each of the three genes screened. The study revealed a co-occurrence of SHV and CTX-M in 75% of the <em>E. coli</em> and 70% of the <em>K. pneumoniae</em> isolates;the occurrence of all the three genes was seen in 10% and 5% of <em>K. pneumoniae</em> and <em>E. coli</em> respectively. Multiplex-PCR method provided an efficient and rapid detection of ESBL related genes, hence could be used in epidemiological studies among ESBL isolates. Monitoring dissemination and transmissions of ESBL producers are highly recommended for optimum patient care and preventing the spread of multidrug resistant (MDR) pathogens.展开更多
