Abstract: Occurrence of colistin-resistantA total of 196 multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae isolates (All the studied isolates showed multidrug-resistant phenotypes with 51.5% resistance to carbapenems (meropenem, imipenem). Very low resistance rates towards tigecycline (An alarming sign is the increasing colistin resistance rates among carbapenem-resistant isolates. Aminoglycosides are still a therapeutic option to decrease the use of colistin and avoid further development of resistance.KEY MESSAGESHigh rates of colistin resistance among carbapenem-resistant
