A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Kufa focused on identifying beta-lactamase genes in nitrofurantoin-resistant gram-negative bacteria isolated from pregnant women. The research aimed to detect gram-negative urinary tract infection (UTI) isolates and beta-lactam resistance genes, with findings showing a high prevalence of bacteria among pregnant women in the third trimester. The study revealed that all nitrofurantoin-resistant gram-negative isolates had the ctx-m gene, with a significant prevalence of the AmpC gene, and the veb gene was only detected in P. aeruginosa isolates. The presence of oxa-like 5 genes was found in a portion of the isolates, while oxa-69 was not identified in the study. [Extracted from the article] |
