All isolates were screened for the detection of CTX-M type Extended spectrum Beta-lactamase (ESBL) using PCR. Among them 133 (66.5%) were positive for CTX-M type ESBLs which include 114 (66.66%) <em>E.coli </em>and 19 (65.51%) <em>Klebsiella spp</em>. This is the first report of identifying CTX-M gene in ESBL producing <em>Escherichia coli </em>and <em>Klebsiella species </em>of different hospitals<strong>.</strong></p><p>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjmm.v4i2.10829">http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjmm.v4i2.10829</a></p><p> </p><p><strong><br /></strong></p> ER -
