Abstract

Background: β-lactamase production by Gram-negative bacteria causes drug resistance to β-lactam antibiotics. In 148 resistant isolates, ESBL was found in 55.4%, AmpC in 77.7%, and co-existence in 47.29%. E. coli predominated. High resistance to ciprofloxacin, cotrimoxazole, and gentamicin observed. Imipenem remained effective.
