STUDY OF ANTIMICROBIAL SUSCEPTIBILITY OF Escherichia coli OF ANTIBIOTICS ISOLATED FROM URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS OF CHILDREN AND DETECTION OF PLASMID DNA CONTENT IN BACTERIAL ISOLATES BY GEL ELECTROPHORESIS TECHNIQUE

Abstract

Twenty bacterial were isolated of Escherichia coli from children with urinary tracts infection. These isolates were identified by cultural and biochemical tests and Antibiotic susceptibility tests were carried out to determine their resistance patterns so they were 75%, 100%, 50%, 100%, 80%, 90%, 75%, 60%, 100% and 35% resistant to Ampicillin, Amoxicillin, Neomycin, Kanamycin, Streptomycin, Tetracycline, Nalidixic acid, Ciprofloxacin, Erythromycin, Norefloxacin respectivel
