OBJECTIVE To investigate the frequency rate and sensitivity pattern of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase and metallobeta- lactamase producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from major hospitals. METHODS The cross-sectional study was conducted in the Microbiology section of the Pathology Department of Ayub Medical College, Abbottabad, Pakistan, from September 2017 to April 2018, and comprised clinical samples collected from different medical wards of major hospitals in the study area. For the selective growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Cetrimide agar was used, and different antibiotics were evaluated for the sensitivity pattern following Kirby-Bauer diffusion method. Pseudomonas aeruginosa producing extended-spectrum beta lactamase and metallo-beta-lactamase were identified through double disk synergy test and imipenem ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid tests respectively. Patient's demographic and medical history was noted on a proforma. Data was analysed using SPSS 22.0. RESULTS Of the 242 samples screened, 46 (19%) were positive for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These samples were highly sensitive to levofloxacin, amikacin, imipenem, meropenem and ciprofloxacin (p
