Abstract
Background and aims: Antimicrobial resistance is a global threat. Bacteria showed higher resistance in Ethiopia, and up-to-date data on it is urgently required for effective interventions. This study aimed to determine occurrence of multi-drug-resistant (MDR) bacterial isolates among patients presented to Hakim Gizaw Hospital (HGH).
