Integrated studies on the molecular epidemiology and prevalence of AMR and MDR diarrheal pathogens are lacking. A total of 404 fecal specimens were collected from children with diarrhea in Bangladesh from January 2019 to December 2021. We used conventional bacteriologic and molecular sequence analysis methods. Phenotypic and genotypic resistance were determined by disk diffusion and molecular sequencing methods. Fisher’s exact tests with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was performed. Prevalence of bacterial infection was 63% (251 of 404) among children with diarrhea. E. coli (29%) was the most prevalent. E. coli, Shigella spp., V. cholerae, and Salmonella spp., showed the highest frequency of resistance against ceftriaxone (75–85%), and erythromycin (70–75%%). About 10–20% isolates of E. coli, V. cholerae and Shigella spp. showed MDR against cephem, macrolides, and quinolones. Significant association (p value < 0.05) was found between the phenotypic and genotypic resistance. The risk of diarrhea was the highest among the patients co-infected with E. coli and rotavirus [OR 3.6 (95% CI 1.1–5.4) (p = 0.001)] followed by Shigella spp. and rotavirus [OR 3.5 (95% CI 0.5–5.3) (p = 0.001)]. This study will provide an integrated insight of molecular epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance profiling of bacterial pathogens among children with diarrhea in Bangladesh. metadata Sharif, Nadim; Ahmed, Shamsun Nahar; Khandaker, Shamim; Monifa, Nuzhat Haque; Abusharha, Ali; Ramírez-Vargas, Debora L.; Díez, Isabel De la Torre; Kuc Castilla, Ángel Gabriel; Talukder, Ali Azam; Parvez, Anowar Khasru y Dey, Shuvra Kanti mail SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, debora.ramirez@unini.edu.mx, SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR       (2023) Multidrug resistance pattern and molecular epidemiology of pathogens among children with diarrhea in Bangladesh, 2019–2021.
