Escherichia coli in Iran: An Overview of Antibiotic Resistance: A Review Article
Abstract
Background: Escherichia coli is the most prominent cause of infectious diseases that span from the gastrointestinal tract to extra-intestinal sites such as urinary tract infection, septicaemia, and neonatal meningitis. The emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance in E. coli is an increasing public health concern across the world. Rising resistance in E. coli isolates is also observed in Iran. This review summarizes the status of antibiotic resistance of E. coli isolates in Iran from 2007 to 2016.
Methods: The data of the prevalence of E. coli antibiotic resistance were collected from databases such as Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar and Scientific Information Database.
Results: Antibiotic resistance in E. coli is on the rise.
Conclusion: Prevalence of antibiotic resistance of E. coli varies from region to region in Iran.
