Abstract: Objective

To investigate the multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and genetic evolution of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBLs)-producing Escherichia coli in the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University, and to provide the reference for the monitoring of ESBLs-producing isolates' epidemic and hospital infection control.

Methods

Gene amplification and sequence analysis were performed for 7 housekeeping genes of 26 isolates of ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli, and alleles were compared with those assigned at MLST databases.

Results

A total of 16 sequence types (ST) were obtained in the 26 isolates of ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli, in which there were 3 ST69 and 3 ST131.

Conclusions

ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli has diversified genetic backgrounds, and ST131 and ST69 are the most prevalent types, while other types were scattered.
