  Background: Carbapenem family are from the recently synthesized beta-lactam antibiotics which used as last resort antibiotics for treating infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacilli and the resistant to them by Gram-negative bacilli have been developed, due to production of variety of carbapenemase enzymes and other mechanisms that significantly limits treatment options for life-threatening infections. Objective: This study aims to detect carbapenem resistant Gram-negative rods from infected wounds in Khartoum state and the production of carbapenemase enzymes by the resistant isolates using phenotypic methods. Method: 100 wound swabs were collected. All samples were cultured directly on blood and MacConkey agar, Cultures were examined macroscopically and microscopically, different standard bioch..
