Abstract:Background
Cockroaches can pose a significant health risk in hospital environments because they may serve as reservoirs and vectors for nosocomial pathogens. Cockroaches harbor epidemiologically significant extended spectrum and metalo beta lactamase producing Gram negative bacterial pathogens, which complicate nosocomial infections.
Objectives
The main aim of this study is to determine aetiology and phenotypic extended spectrum and metalo beta lac… Show more
