Phenotypic identification of carbapenemase producers: All five isolates, Morganella morganii, (n=2), Enterobacter cloacae (n=2) and Citrobacter freundii (n=1), were subjected to MHT for phenotypic detection of carbapenemase enzyme activity as described by CLSI.12 Out of 5 bla NDM-1 producers, four gave positive clover-leaf like indentation whereas, isolate Ec-93 was negative.
In the present study, out of 250 isolates studied, 134 (54%) are E.coli, and are the predominant isolates, followed by Klebsiella spp which are about 80(32%) cases and 8 (3.2%) cases of Enterobacter and 10 (4%) cases of Citrobacter were obtained.

Thus, clinical strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia Coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus species, Citrobacter freundii, Citrobacter Koseri, Enterobacter cloacae, Klebsiella oxytoca, Enterobacter aerogenes, and Yersinia enterocolitica were isolated from the collected clinical samples.
These bacteria were classified in three different genera: Bacillus, Enterobacter and Citrobacter.
