MEJIA-ARGUETA, Euridice Ladisu; SANTILLAN-BENITEZ, Jonnathan Guadalupe  and  MEJIA-JUAREZ, José. Identification of E. coli strains carrying extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) isolated at Medical Center (ISSEMyM) in Toluca. Cienc. ergo-sum [online]. 2022, vol.29, n.2, e160.  Epub Oct 20, 2023. ISSN 2395-8782.  https://doi.org/10.30878/ces.v29n2a5.

Data on BLEE-producing E. coli isolated from patients in different hospital areas were analyzed using the interactions between antibiograms and areas through a two-factor analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Bartlett’s test for homoscedasticity. We found a 45% incidence of E. coli, and out of 135 strains sampled, 4.58% were E. coli BLEE. In addition, using Bartlett’s test, we determined a significant difference between the areas and in their phenotypic tests, so training, control, and prevention measures should be implemented in the health sector, avoiding the spread of infections between public health areas to a greater extent.
