DETERMINATION OF EXTENDED-SPECTRUM BETA-LACTAMASES GENES AND ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE PATTERNS IN ESCHERICHIA COLI ISOLATES FROM HEALTHY CATS

Determination of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases Genes and Antibiotic Resistance Patterns in Escherichia coli Isolates from Healthy Cats

Background: This study was set to detect extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) producing E.coli isolates and the genes underlying their resistance in relation to phylogenetic background from fecal samples of healthy owned cats.Methods: A total of 50 E.coli isolates were confirmed by standard bacteriological tests.The phylogenetic analyses of th
