    Abstract:
    The present study was carried out to evaluate the sensitivity of different organisms to cefepime and tazobactum (megapime XP) in comparison to cefepime and ceftazidime. Samples were collected from clinical specimens and micro-organisms were isolated from clinical specimens. Strains of micro-organisms isolated from clinical specimens were identified using standard methods like morphology, colony characteristics and biochemical reactions. Sensitivity was carried out using Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for all the antibiotics were carried out as per guideline of Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI). The results of the study demonstrated that cefepime and tazobactum exhibits good activity against Gram +ve and Gram-ve organisms.
