Thirty isolates collected in 2020 were genotypically characterised by microarray to detect their resistance and virulence genes and assign them to clonal complexes (CC) and strains. Isolates belonged to 11 different CCs and 14 different strains.

Hence, the aim of the present study was phenotypic and genotypic characterization of commensal ESBL-producing obtained from the stool of patients at the time of admission and at the time of discharge from the Medical Research Institute hospital. A total of 70 isolates were collected from 35 patients and were categorized into Group A (samples obtained on admission) and Group B (samples obtained at the time of discharge).
