--- Of all infections, urinary tract infection (UTI) are after the infections of the respiratory tract, the most common in primary care. The pathogens that cause these infections are several, but the most common is Escherichia coli. Among the antibiotics used in Peru for therapy of urinary tract infections include cephalosporins and the most important mechanism of resistance to these antibiotics in enterobacteria is the production of extended-spectrum betalactamases (ESBLs). Several types of ESBL, including TEM, SHV and OXA, but in 1989 a clinical isolate of Escherichia coli producing a different enzyme which these was called CTX-M for its preferential hydrolytic activity on cefotaxime was found. The CTX-M type ESBLs have acquired its epidemiological relevance and intra-hospital spread. Research has been done showing that isolates of E. coli producing CTX-M type ESBLs are prevalent in South America, but in Peru are few studies about it. The objective of this study was to determine phenotypic and molecular level the presence and frequency of genes encoding ESBL CTX-M type strains of E. coli from urine cultures. In an observational study. 50 strains of E. coli from urine cultures of the Hospital Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen (HNGAI) between March and May 2012 were collected. Identification of isolates is confirmed and sensitivity is performed by the technique of Kirby - Bauer. The determination of ESBL production was made following CLSI criteria and the method of Jarlier. The plasmids were extracted with the kit Pureyield ™ Plasmid Miniprep System, Novagen. The blaCTX-M gene evidenced by PCR amplification, displayed by horizontal electrophoresis in agarose gel 1%. It was determined that 58.3% of E. coli isolated from urine cultures were ESBL producers, 85.7% of which presented resistance gene in plasmids blaCTX-M. It is concluded that the main mechanism of resistance in Escherichia coli isolated from urine cultures of HNGAI between March and May 2012, is the production of ESBL, the CTX-M being high frequency (85.7%) type. This is consistent with those reported in other countries and is knowledge that provides valuable information that should be considered to monitor the progress of antibiotic resistance in our country. Keywords: ESBL, blaCTX-M, ITU, PCR and UPEC.
