Background: Antimicrobial resistance is a growing threat worldwide. The predominant mechanisms for resistance to the β-lactam antibiotics in gram negative bacilli is the production of β-lactamases. Aim: To determine the prevalence of ESBL, AmpC and carbapenemase production among GNB isolated from various clinical samples. Materials and Methods: A total of 378 GNB isolated were identified and processed for the detection of ESBL, AmpC and Carbapemase production using various methods. Results: Out 378 GNB 197 (52.12%) showed the presence of one or more β-lactamases and 181 (47.88%) were negative. 33.86%, 14.24% and 18.25% showed the presence of ESBL, AmpC and Carbapenemase among the 378 GNB studied. Conclusion: This study highlights the prevalence of ESBL, AmpC and Carbepenemase producing GNB in a rural tertiary care teaching hospital
