Introduction and Objectives: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are frequent and predominantly caused by coliforms. ESBL producers are increasing in number limiting therapeutic options. It is therefore vital to institute precise, empiric antibiotic guidelines in order to prevent life-threatening urosepsis. The objective of this study was to compare antibiotic sensitivity (ABST) pattern of ESBL producers and non-ESBL producers against selected non-beta lactams and carbapenem antibiotics.

Clubbing is the bulbous enlargement of the distal segment of digits. It is known to be associated with several cardiological, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, neoplastic, infectious, and endocrinological disorders. Rarely clubbing may not associate with any underlying pathology despite presenting in a later stage. Here we report a case of a 26-year-old man who presented with a history of recent onset of clubbing. Following extensive evaluation we were unable to find a possible etiology.
