ABSTRACT:   A total of 619 cases of adults with gastroenteritis admitted to Yangon General Hospital, Workers' Hospital and Infectious Diseases Hospital were included in this study. It was observed that 33% were suffering from gastroenteritis due to enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC). The most prominent EPEC sero-groups encoutered were 01, 026, 055, 086, 0114, 0125 and 0128. The antibiotic sensitivity pattern showed that 87% of enteropathogenic Escherichia Coli (EPEC) were resistant to ampicillin, 58% to chloramphenicol, 49% to streptomycin, 55% to benzyl penicillin, 44% and 21% respectively to tetracyclline and septrin. They were all sensitive to nalidixic acid but 97% to gentamicin, 96% to sisomycin and 95% to tobramycin respectively.
