Molecular Characterization of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase-Producing <i>Escherichia coli</i> from Community Fecal Samples in Sivas, Türkiye: Detection of the ST131 Clone
BACKGROUNDS: (ESBL-Ec) strains isolated from community fecal samples. METHODS: genes was investigated by multiplex PCR. The ST131 clone was detected by PCR and Multi Locus Sequence Typing analyses. Clonal relatedness among ESBL-Ec strains was evaluated using ERIC-PCR. RESULTS: 10%. ESBL-Ec isolates were grouped into 15 clusters, and 5 (10%) of 50 isolates were identified as the ST131 clone. CONCLUSION: ST131 clone.
