Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) is a leading cause of urinary tract infections becoming resistant against beta-lactams and cephalosporins through different mechanisms, including ESBL production due to the presence of ESBL specific genes, including blaCTX-M and blaTEM . The purpose of the present study was to detect the uropathogenic E. coli strains producing the ESBL .
