RESUMEN
Objective To analyze the identification and antibiotic resistance of non active Escherichia coli isolated from feces . Methods Clinical fecal specimens were collected from January 2013 to June 2015 for bacterial culture ,identification and antimicro-bial susceptibility testing .Results Sixty-one strains of E .coli ,inactive were detected ,18 strains of which could be agglutinated with diagnostic serum of Shigella .Three stains could produce extented spectrum β-lactamases(ESBLs);The rate of antibiotic resistance of amoxicillin and ticarcillin was 100% ,The rate of piperacillin ,cephalothin and sulfamethoxazole was 78% ,the rate of cefoxitin and amikacin was 33% ,the rate of piperacillin/tazobactam ,imipenem and meropenem was 0% .Conclusion Non active Escherichia coli can induce diarrhea ,which is easily misdiagnosed as Shigella ,the antimicrobial resistance between Escherichia coli and non active Escherichia coli is not significant difference .
