Background. Diarrheal diseases, exacerbated by limited access to clean water, remain a significant global health concern. Enterobacteriaceae, particularly Escherichia coli (E. coli), are their prevalent causative agents. The emergence of antibiotic resistance poses grave public threat, with extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) and carbapenemases contributing significantly. This study aimed identify the antibiogram patterns virulence genes in E. isolates obtained from patients tertiary care hospital. Method. A cross-sectional involving 395 clinical samples hospital Lahore was conducted over period six months. isolation characterization bacterial strains were performed using culture-based, biochemical, morphological assessments. Antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) carried out Kirby-Bauer (KB) disk diffusion method. DNA extraction molecular identification through PCR. Statistical analysis Excel SPSS. Results. Of samples, found be most (47.6%), followed Klebsiella spp. (43.3%). AST revealed high cefuroxime (85%) ciprofloxacin (80%). Molecular identified traT being (37.2%), fimH aer (28.7%).

The overall sample was 11.5% (95% CI, 9.6–13.7). Statistically significant differences antibodies only found regard age-group categories ethnicity. Seroprevalence rates increased gradually with age. age group 61–87 years have over 3-fold higher risk seropositivity than aged 40–50 (OR = 3.43, 95% CI 1.76–6.70).
