Discussion

Findings reveal significant carbapenem resistance among gram-negative bacteria, indicating urgent public health concerns.

High resistance against third-generation cephalosporins was observed, particularly in ceftriaxone and ceftazidime.
Klebsiella spp. and Escherichia coli were the most common carbapenem-resistant isolates among 144 samples.
Antibiotic sensitivity tests showed significant resistance levels in meropenem and colistin, suggesting treatment challenges.
Further research is needed to confirm these trends with larger sample sizes across northeast India.

Das et al. (2025) studied this question.
