Several studies demonstrated that virulence factors were a major cause of the emergence of pathogenic strains of\n                    <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic>\n                    . This study\u2019s objective was to determine the antibiotic resistance profile, detect virulence factors, and assess the prevalence of carriage of extended\u2010spectrum beta\u2010lactamase (ESBL) genes in fecal\n                    <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic>\n                    isolates obtained from chronic kidney disease patients. This research was carried out in Laquintinie Hospital of Douala between January 2022 and December 2023. In total, 458 patients with (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 197) or without (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 261) chronic kidney disease and suffering from gastroenteritis constituted the total population.\n                    <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic>\n                    isolates were obtained by using eosin methylene blue (EMB) agar and identified by the API 20E gallery system. The Kirby\u2013Bauer method was used to determine the isolates\u2019 antibiotic resistance profile. The simplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) served to detect virulence factors and resistance genes. It appeared that all antibiotics tested, except nalidixic acid, presented a significant resistance (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.05) in chronic kidney disease patients contrasted to patients without chronic kidney disease. The antibiotic susceptibility testing revealed a high level of resistance to amoxicillin (94.5%), amoxicillin\u2013clavulanic acid (79.5%), trimethoprim\/sulfamethoxazole (69.9%), and ofloxacin (65.8%) in patients with chronic kidney disease.\n                    <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic>\n                    isolates showed (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.001) a significantly high rate of multidrug resistance phenotype in chronic kidney disease patients (74.0%) as compared to patients without chronic kidney disease (35.7%).
