The aim of this study was to characterize the beta lactamases genes of bacteria isolated from urinary tract infection (UTI) in Assiut, Egypt. Results revealed that one hundred fifty nine [31.8%] out from 500 urine samples were culture-positive. Escherichia coli was the most common UTI pathogen [61%] followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae [23.3%], Proteus mirabilis [8.2%] and Pseudomonas aeruginosa [7.5%]. Sensitivity of isolates to ampicillin was [15%], amoxicillin/clavulanic acid [43.5%], ceftriaxone [24%], imipenem [95.6%], amikacin [75%], ciprofloxacin [21.4%] and trimethoprim /sulfamethoxazole [37%]. Confirmatory phenotypic detection of extended-spectrum β-lactamases [ESBLs] by ESBL E-test method resulted in [42.7%] isolates were ESBLs producers. Genotypic characterization of ESBLs genes in phenotypically positive isolates resulted in [91.2%] were ESBL producers. The presence of CTX-M type ESBL was [75%] followed by TEM [37%], OXA [24%] and SHV [21%]. Sequencing of ESBLs genes showed that CTX-M-15, OXA [1,116], TEM-1 and SHV [1, 11,111,115] as new ESBL types. Multiple sequence alignment of sequenced genes showed mutation in L31R in SHV-11[Novel SHV-115], E29Q in SHV-1[Novel SHV-111], and P65R in TEM-1 and I97M in OXA-1 [Novel OXA-116]. This study is one from first studies in Egypt that highlights the presence of multiple mutations in ESBLs.       Key words: Uropathogens, extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs), mutation, Egypt.
