Escherichia coli (E. coli), as the main cause of urinary tract infections among most of the age groups including children, due to extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) producing has high ability to acquire antibiotic resistance. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of ESBL-producing genes in E. coli extracted from urine samples of children in Kermanshah City, Iran.
In this cross-sectional study, 95 E. coli isolates were identified via specific biochemical methods. After determination of antibiotic susceptibility using disk diffusion, ESBL-producing isolates were determined by using phenotypic combined disk (double-disk synergy) methods. The frequency of blaTEM, blaCTX-M, and blaSHV genes were determined via using specific primers and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method.
Findings: Of 95 E. coli isolates, 24 samples (25.3%) were ESBL-positive and 71 (74.7%) were ESBL-negative samples. The frequency of blaCTX-M, blaTEM, and blaSHV genes was 47.5%, 37.5%, and 4.17%, respectively. The highest antibiotic resistance among isolates was to ampicillin (83.2%), cefixime (69.5%), and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (co-trimoxazole) (67.4%), and the most antibiotic sensitivity was to imipenem (90.5%), norfloxacin (86.3%), and nitrofurantoin (83.2%).
The results showed that prevalence of ESBL-producing E. coli in children was 25.3% and blaCTX-M gene was the most common. According to these findings and relatively high level of resistance to third-generation cephalosporins, the need for more medical care in the correct and appropriate use of antibiotics is concluded; further studies on this subject are recommended, too.

Resistant microbial strains are a serious threat to public health in different societies. A mong the extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) producing strains the Enterobacteriaceae family which is considered as the main factors producing urinary tract infections, have created many problems in treatment of this kind of infections. This study was conducted to determine the frequency of β-lactamase TEM-1 gene in Enterobacteriaceae isolated from urine samples in Ardabil city. Within 6 months, 400 urinary isolates of Enterobacteriaceae of inpatients and outpatients were collected in Ardabil hospitals and were identified by standard methods. Antimicrobial susceptibility of isolates was tested by disk diffusion method, and ESBL producer confirmatory test was conducted using combined disk. Finally, the frequency of β-lactamase TEM-1 gene in producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases strains was investigated using PCR. From 400 isolates of Enterobacteriaceae, 150 cases (37.5%) were ESBL producing. PCR results showed presence of the TEM-1 gene in 69 cases (46%). The frequency of this gene in isolates of Enterobacter (Aerogenes, Cloacae), Klebsiella (Pneumoniae, Oxytoca) and E. coli was obtained to be 62.5%, 54.5% and 44.8%, respectively. Proteus mirabilis and Serratia marcescens strains were lacking these genotypes. As regards the presence of TEM-1 gene, there is also increasing in other members of the Enterobacteriaceae family including Klebsiella and Enterobacter in addition to E. coli, therefore sufficient identification of this strains is necessary to prescribe the right medicine.
