Key Points

  • This research aims to characterize extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli strains in community fecal samples.
  • Fecal samples were collected from the community in Sivas, Türkiye.
  • Molecular detection of ESBL genes was performed using multiplex PCR.
  • Clonal relatedness was evaluated through ERIC-PCR.
  • 10% of the fecal samples contained ESBL-producing Escherichia coli.
  • Among 50 isolates, 5 (10%) were identified as the ST131 clone.
  • ISOLATES were grouped into 15 different clusters.

Abstract

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.
