The emergence of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria is a major challenges in hospital waste samples. Escherichia coli is one of the most public relevant agent of bacterial diseases. Indiscriminate use of antibiotics resulted in the development of multiple drug resistant E. coli through the world. In present study twenty one strains of antibiotic resistant E. coli were isolated from hospital waste samples like cotton swabs, bandages, needle etc. These isolates were identified by various morphological and biochemical test. Antibiotic susceptibility test was performed by Standard disc diffusion method. All the isolates were found to be 100% resistant to Ceftazidime (CAZ) 30mcg, Ceftriaxone (CTR) 30mcg, and Nitrofurantoin (NIT) 300 mcg.
