The specimens were processed by standard microbiological methods and confirmed with serology. Altogether 14.18% of bacteria were isolated with 8.21% <em>V. cholerae </em>O1 El Tor Ogawa, 2.24% <em>Shigella flexneri </em>B and 3.73% <em>Salmonella </em>spp<em>. </em>Highest bacterial culture (47.36%) were isolated in Kathmandu while highest <em>V. cholerae </em>(77.27%) were isolated in Nepalgunj. The highest number of <em>Salmonella </em>spp. and <em>Shigella </em>spp. were isolated from Kanti Children’s Hospital. Highest bacteria isolation (47.36%) and highest <em>V. cholerae </em>isolation (81.81%) were observed in the August. The bacteria isolation was significantly associated with places and months (p&lt;0.05). However, there was no statistical difference in the bacteria isolation with sex (P&gt;0.05). 100% <em>V. cholerae</em>, 100% <em>Shigella </em>spp. and 80% <em>Salmonella </em>spp. were MDR while only one <em>Salmonella </em>Cholerasuis was found ESBL producer.</p> <p>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/njbs.v2i0.7487">http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/njbs.v2i0.7487</a></p> <p><em>Nepalese Journal of Biosciences </em>2 : 31-39 (2012)</p> ER -
