ABSTRACT: The most common infection of urinary tract increasing day by day not only in India but other countries and there are few bacterial strains produces the ESBLs. These enzyme also causes the multi-antibiotic resistance, that is why it is difficult to treat the patient .They are creating a major problem in hospitals, and community. The current study shows multidrug resistance of E. coli against the available antibiotics[1]. The present study was conducted in in local hospital Jalandhar. The total was collected and performed was 156 urine samples. Prevalence of E. coli was determined and ESBL testing was done by modified double disc synergy test. (14.74%) samples were E. coli positive and ESBL was detected in (65.21%) of these E. coli. Maximum of the infections were found in the age group of 60 to 70 years. E.coli showed maximum resistance towards ampicillin, amoxycillin-clavulanic acid, cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones. Maximum susceptibility was observed for carbapenems, aminoglycosides, piperacillin- tazobactam, cotrimoxazole, nitrofurantoin, colistin and, tigecycline.[2]

Keywords: - ESBLs, antibiotic resistance, urinary infection.
