Analyses of Extended Spectrum beta-lactamase producing uropathogen.: Prevalence and Molecular analyses of Extended Spectrum beta-lactamase producing uropathogen in pregnant women.

Beta-lactamases are enzymes produced by bacteria that breakdown ( and thus inactivate) a particular class of antibiotics called bata-lactams. The enzymes that can break the newer derivatives are known as the extended Spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBLs). This study focuses on the prevalence and Molecular identification of uropathogens especially, the Extended Spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBLs) producing bacteria such as E. Coli, Klebsiella species, Alcaligenes species, ect, that have been found to continuously develop resistance to several antibiotics, which resulted to wide spread cases of chronic urinary tract infection in pregnant women.
