Over the times, carbapenems have been the choice of drug for treating multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing organisms. The current study aimed at determining the occurrence of metallo beta-lactamase (MBL) and AmpC beta-lactamase (ABL) in gram negative bacter...
