Detection of O25b-ST131 clone in extended spectrum beta-lactamase-producing E. coli from urinary tract infections in Mexico
Our research revealed a 10% prevalence of ESBL, in contrast to global prevalence rates. The resistance profiles suggest that the effectiveness of these commonly used antibiotics in treating E. coli-associated UTIs or vaginal infections has decreased significantly. Excessive use of antimicrobial agents contributes to the regional variation. Our results underscore the importance of monitoring the molecular epidemiology, antibiotic resistance, and transmission dynamics of the O25b-ST131 E. coli clone.
