The specimen were 648(63.5%) urine, blood 127(12.5%), other secretion 125(12/3%), sputum 102(10%), lumbar puncture 8(0/8%), stool 6(6/0%) and bone marrow 4(0.4%). The E coli was the most 413(40.5%) resistance cause to antibiotics which was coded with B96.2 and the most resistance was to multiple antibiotics 885(86.8%) with the U88 code.
