Molecular study for antibiotic-resistance patterns of extended-spectrum B- Lactamase producing Klebsiella Pneumoniae from a UTI of pregnant women in Diwaniyah (Shamiya city) - Iraq

Background: Klebsiella pneumoniae is a member of the Enterobacteriaceae family. K. isolates produce enzymes that cause hydrolysis penicillins and cephalosporins.These are known as broad-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL). The resistance to beta-lactamase antibiotics usually mediated by genes, present study aims determine prevalence ESβL producing with their antibiotic susceptibility pattern in urine samples pregnant women UTI. Method: current included two hundred twenty-five if they were suffering from urinary tract infection treated Shamiya General Hospital Pregnant Care Center sector October 2021 March 2022. One forty nine different types bacteria isolated using diagnostic methods nineteen obtained.
