Abstract


Contemporary emergence of multidrug resistance (MDR) urges regular updates on circulating pathogens and their antimicrobial resistance profiles. We aimed to identify the burden of MDR and World Health Organization (WHO) priority Gram negative pathogens among patients admitted with febrile illness to Abbassia Fever Hospital, a major Public Fever Hospital in Egypt. The carbapenemase- and extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs)-encoding genes carried by the isolates were also identified.
