Summary
This descriptive cross-sectional study will beconducted in Suez Canal University Hospitals (SCUHs) in Ismailia, Egypt. The study aims to detect Escherichia coli biofilm producers to improve prognosis and treatment and reduce morbidity and mortality rates due to this infection.
Detailed description
Forty seven clinical isolates of non-duplicated UPEC will be collected from clinically suspected cases of UTI in different departments in SCUHs. Isolates will be identified as E. coli by colony morphology, Gram staining and biochemical reactions. Antimicrobial sensitivity testing will be performed by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method on Muller-Hinton agar plate. The detection of biofilm will be carried out by Congo Red Agar (CRA) method and modified tissue culture plate (MTCP) method.
