Objective: This study aimed to determine E.coli antibiotic resistance to different antibiotics. Materials and methods: This is a retrospective study at AlMoujtahd Hospital (Damascus Hospital) between 1/6/2017 and 31/12/2017) including all samples of E.coli infections during the studied period. Results: We found 72 samples with E.coli Infection. The most resistance was against Cefaclor (93.1%), while the highest sensitivity against E.coli was by Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (56.1%).
Conclusion: Resistance of the E.coli in our study to different antibiotics was much higher than the resistance percentages of similar studies and that shows the obvious misuse, overuse and lack of knowledge about their effects among general population.
