A class of highly effective antibiotics called Carbapenem is one of science's greatest achievements. Its efficacy and potency brought many patients back into good health; their severe and high-risk bacterial infection were treated in just a matter of weeks even had doctors refer to it as "The Antibiotics of Last Resort" to battle MDR. However, alongside with the progress of this miracle medicine, the appearance of carbapenem-resistant organisms has become the new risk to the public. Resorts of the evident spread of these bacteria in the Southeast Asia are proliferating rapidly, most especially among areas with poor antimicrobial control. These dangerous microbes can integrate itself with the normal flora of healthcare workers. This, therefore, poses a great hazard since they are always in contact with immunosuppressed patients. This study aimed to isolate and identify the occurrence of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli in stool samples collected from apparently healthy students of FEU-NRMF. Isolation and identification was made through biochemical tests. For the detection and confirmation of carbapenemase producing E.coli, CarbaNP assay was used. The absence of carbapenem-resistant E.coli in the stool of health science students indicates that there should be no immediate concern regarding carriage of such harmful bacteria to them, thus they can be categorically assigned to health facilities and interact with patients without the fear of being a source of this resistant organism.
