Extended-spectrum β-lactamases producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-EC) lend resistance to most β-lactam antibiotics. Because of limited treatment options, ESBL-EC infections are generally more difficult to treat, leading to higher hospital costs, reduced rates of microbiological and clinical responses, and a threat to the patient’s life. This study aimed to determine the antibiotic resistance pattern of ESBL-EC isolated from patients with urinary tract infection in Morocco. This retrospective laboratory-based study was conducted at Cheikh Khalifa International University Hospital, Casablanca, from January 2016 to June 2019. A total of 670 urine samples were collected from urinary tract infection patients and processed by standard microbiological methods. In vitro susceptibility testing to different antibiotics of all identified isolates of Escherichia coli (E. coli) was performed following Kirby–Bauer’s disc diffusion method on Mueller–Hinton Agar according to the EUCAST standards. The reviewing of ESBL-EC was confirmed by the appearance of a characteristically shaped zone referred to as a “champagne cork” using the Combined Disk Test. Among a total of 438 E. coli isolated from nonrepetitive urine samples, two hundred fifty-nine (59%) were ESBL-EC, of which 200 (77%) were isolated from adult patients (over the age of 50) and the majority were female. All ESBL-EC isolates were resistant to third-generation cephalosporin and quinolones and sensitive to carbapenem and fosfomycin. Knowledge of antimicrobial resistance patterns in ESBL-EC, the major pathogen associated with urinary tract infection, is indispensable as a guide in choosing empirical antimicrobial treatment.

Abstract Background Gram-negative infections due to extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae, and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and non-fermenting (CR-NF) strains, are increasingly encountered. Study objectives were to determine prevalence and associated risk factors and outcomes for these strains among emergency department patients hospitalized for urinary tract infection (UTI) at 11 US hospitals. Methods This was a prospective observational study of patients ≥18 years hospitalized for UTI. Clinical data were collected at the index visit. Urine was obtained for culture and susceptibility testing. Electronic medical record and telephone follow-up were conducted after 30 days for site laboratory results, treatment, and clinical outcomes. Positive culture was defined as 1 uropathogen with growth at ≥104 cfu/mL, or 2 with 1 or both at ≥105 cfu/mL, or ≥3 with 1 or 2 at ≥105 cfu/mL. Isolates with ceftriaxone (CRO) or meropenem MIC >1 μg/mL will undergo reference laboratory (IHMA, Inc., Schaumburg, IL) susceptibility testing, including against newer antibiotics and cefiderocol. Results We enrolled 774 participants between 2018 and 2019; 289 (37.3%) excluded due to urine culture not done, no growth, or contamination. Of 485 culture-positive participants (median age 56 years, 62.0% female), 432 (89.1%) grew 1 uropathogen, 48 (9.9%) 2, and 5 (1.0%) ≥3. Prevalences of CRO-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, CRE, and CR-NF were 19.9%, 2.1%, and 10.7%, respectively. At sites, 95.7% of CRO-resistant Enterobacteriaceae isolates were ESBL. Among participants with any or no antibiotic resistance risk factors, i.e., antibiotics, hospitalization, long-term care, or travel within 90 days, prevalence of CRO-resistant Enterobacteriaceae was 68/228 (29.8%) and 10/155 (6.5%), respectively. Among those with CRO-resistant vs. susceptible Enterobacteriaceae infections, ICU admission and death occurred in 9.9% vs. 6.6% and 3.7% vs. 1.0%, with median time home over 30 days, 24 vs. 27 days, respectively. Conclusion Among US hospitalized patients with UTI, infections due to CRE remain uncommon; however, ESBL and CR-NF now account for a substantial proportion of cases and are associated with resistance risk factors and worse outcomes.

Abstract Objective: To identify strains of Escherichia coli that do not produce Extended Spectrum Betalactamases (ESBL) in urine cultures and to evaluate the patterns of resistance to certain antibiotics used in clinical practice as treatments of choice in the Toluca Valley of Mexico. Method: 155 urine samples were obtained from people in the Toluca Valley, Mexico under necessary hygiene conditions. 100ml used to identify the pathogen and its resistance patterns were collected from each sample, using an automated Walkaway method. Result: 19 strains of non-ESBL-producing Escherichia coli were obtained, of which 68.42% showed resistance to ampicillin and tetracycline, 47.36% resistance to trimethoprim with sulfamethoxazole, 26.31% for levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, ceftriaxone, and resistance of 21 % with ampicillin and sulbactam. 100% sensitivity for amikacin, tigecycline and carbapenems. Conclusion: Antibiotic resistance represents a major health problem, as the present study shows, ampicillin is a drug of choice for urinary tract infection produced by Eschericha coli, but in the Toluca Valley the resistance to this antibiotic is 68.42% In non-ESBL producing strains, high resistance patterns are also shown for quinolones, tetracycline and trimethoprim with sulfamethoxazole.
