    Extended Spectrum β-Lactamases (ESBL) exhibit most important resistant mechanism challenging broad spectrum of antibiotics, ESBL’s hamper current treatment strategies limiting therapeutic options. Hence, it is important to screen those organisms using standard techniques to fix the spread and outcome consequences. Aim and objective of our perspective cohort study was to isolate and to identify the resistant ESBL pathogens consecutive ESBL positive strains were recovered by Disc Diffusion Test (DDT) and 90% of the isolates were E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Further, antibiotic susceptibility assay against third line cephalosporins like cefotaxime (30 g), cefotaxime/clavulanic acid (30 μg/10 μg), ceftazidime (30 μg), ceftazidime/clavulanic acid (30 μg/10 μg), ampicillin (30 μg) and amikacin (30 μg) were tested by CLSI guidelines from NC..
