The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producers and to perform molecular typing of ESBL-encoding genes in Enterobacteriaceae from clinical isolates recovered from blood samples of children in Annaba, Algeria. A total of 42 clinical isolates were collected from March 2010 to July 2011 from the pediatric hospital of Annaba. The strains were identified by phenotypic tests and the ESBL-encoding genes was accomplished by PCR amplification and sequencing. Among these isolates, 10 ESBL isolates had CTX-M-15, 13 had TEM-1, one isolate had TEM-136, 2 were positive for SHV-11, 8 had SHV-12, 3 had SHV-28, 1 isolate contained SHV-32, and 1 isolate had SHV-133. A total of 45.2% of the patients died. The high prevalence of ESBL producers among Enterobacteriaceae, along with the observation of 19 fatal cases, is worrisome; therefore, we believe that national surveillance of antibiotic resistance should be urgently implemented in Algeria.       Key words: Antibiotic resistance, Enterobacteriaceae, Algeria, septicemia
