    This study aims to identify carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacterial infection (CR-GNB) prevalence in King Faisal Medical Complex Hospital (KFMC), at Taif, Saudi Arabia, and to determine the distribution of biotypes, antibiotypes, site of infection, hospital wards, multiple associated demographics, clinical characteristics, & comorbidity risk factors. Clinical samples were obtained from patients admitted to KFMC, over a period of 6 months and were screened for carbapenem resistance by Phoenix System. Patients' demographic and comorbidity data were collected. Overall, 763 clinical infections by gram-negative isolates during 6 months in KFMC were identified, 236 (32%) of the clinical isolates were determined as CR-GNB from 8 different sites of a body, the most isolates came from blood, (71/236, 30.1%), then isolates from sputum (63/236, 26.7%), isolates from urine (54/236, 2..
