Ampicillinase C beta-lactamase-producing organisms are often resistant to multiple antimicrobial agents, and therapeutic options against these pathogens are limited. Limited information is available regarding Ampicillinase C beta-lactamase producers. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of Ampicillinase C beta-lactamase producers among isolates of Enterobacteriaceae in a tertiary care centre.
