Investigation of TEM and SHV Beta-Lactamase Genes in Escherichia coli Isolated from Strawberry Samples in Sanandaj, Iran
HIGHLIGHTS
? The most susceptibility and resistance of Escherichia coli to antibiotics were related to chloramphenicol and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, respectively.
? Six out of 21 E. coli isolates were Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) producing E. coli.
? Four out of six ESBL-producing E. coli isolates included blaTEM gene, while blaSHV gene was not found.
