To study the epidemiology of carbapenem resistant E. coli isolates from piglet faecal samples a cross section study was conducted in 10 different locations and total of 673 faecal swabs were collected. On preliminary screening with 1 mg/L imipenem added MacConkey ag 112 E. coli isolates were isolated. The phenotypic screening of 112 isolates with carbapenem antibiotics, aztreonam and moxalactam showed resistance of 18.80 % for meropenem, 9.80% for imipenem, 16.1 % ertapenem, 14.30 % aztreonam and 9.80% for moxalactam. Out of 112 E. coli isolates, 79 (70.54 %) had meropenem MIC between 1 mig an...
