Description
Summary:The emergence of extended spectrum beta lactamase and carbapenemase production of and is a great concern and major cause of nosocomial infections due to its ability to production of extended spectrum beta lactamase and carbapenemase enzymes. To assess Emergence of high prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase and Carbapenemase producing species and among hospitalized patients at Dessie Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, North-East Ethiopia. A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted from February-August 2021 at Dessie Referral Hospital in the North eastern Ethiopia. A total of 423 clinical samples taken from admitted patients. Clinical specimens were collected aseptically and inoculated on blood agar and MacConkey agar media. Antimicrobial susceptibility test, ESBL and carbapenemase production were performed as CLSI guideline. The data were entered into the Epi-data and imported to Statistical Package for Social Science version 25. P value of
