摘要

<jats:p>Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBL) provide high level resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics among bacteria. In this study, previously described multidrug resistant bacteria from raw, treated, and municipal taps of DWDS from selected dams in southwestern Nigeria were assessed for the presence of ESBL resistance genes which include<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1"><mml:mi>b</mml:mi><mml:mi>l</mml:mi><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi>a</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mi mathvariant="normal">T</mml:mi><mml:mi mathvariant="normal">E</mml:mi><mml:mi mathvariant="normal">M</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:msub></mml:math>,<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M2"><mml:mi>b</mml:mi><mml:mi>l</mml:mi><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi>a</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mi mathvariant="normal">S</mml:mi><mml:mi mathvariant="normal">H</mml:mi><mml:mi mathvariant="normal">V</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:msub></mml:math>, and<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M3"><mml:mi>b</mml:mi><mml:mi>l</mml:mi><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi>a</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mi mathvariant="normal">C</mml:mi><mml:mi mathvariant="normal">T</mml:mi><mml:mi mathvariant="normal">X</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:msub></mml:math>by PCR amplification.
