RESUMO

The identification of genes associated with resistance has the potential to facilitate the development of novel diagnostic tests and treatment methods. The objective of this study was to examine the antibiotic resistance and Fosfomycin resistance genes in uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) in patients in Baghdad, Iraq. After analyzing 250 urine samples using various identification methods, including the examination of morphological characteristics, biochemical tests, and genetic detection, it was determined that E. coli was the most common bacteria present, accounting for 63.6% of the samples. Antibiotic susceptibility testing showed a significant prevalence of resistance to various antibiotics, with 99.3% of E. coli isolates exhibiting multiple drug resistance (MDR). Fosfomycin showed antibacterial properties against UPEC. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ranged from 512 to 1024 µg/mL, while the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) was 2048 µg/mL. In the time-kill assay, fosfomycin was effective against fosfomycin-resistant isolates within 8-12 h. The genetic determinants associated with fosfomycin resistance were examined through the utilization of polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The findings indicated that the genes murA, glpT, and cyaA were detected in all the isolates when genomic DNA was used as a template. However, all the tests yielded negative results when plasmid was used as a template. The genes fosA3 and fosA4 were detected in 8.6% and 5% of the isolates when genomic DNA was used as a template. When plasmid was used as a template, the genes fosA3 and fosA4 were found in 5.7% and 2.9% of the isolates, respectively. In conclusion, there is an increasing problem with antibiotic resistance in UPEC, with elevated rates of resistance to several antibiotics. The study also offers novel insights into the genetic foundation of fosfomycin resistance in UPEC.
