摘 要：Background: Bacteremia is the presence of viable bacteria in circulating blood. This is common in HIV patients, leading to a significant publichealth problem worldwide. It is concomitant with upraising cases of antibiotic resistance that results in high morbidity rates leading to increased hospital visits and high mortality rates. Gram-negative bacteria which produce extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) are becoming more common and pathogenic in this group of people. Genes responsible for resistance are well-known to spread among various microorganisms. By employing a case-control study design, this study determined prevalence of bacteremia in Salmonella ssp, Klebsiella ssp, and Escherichia coli in HIV positive and HIV negative patients attending Alupe subcounty hospital. Methods: A total of 113 HIV positive and 133 HIV negative patients were sampled purposively grounded on Lameshow sample size determination formula. Consent was sought from the study participants followed by questionnaire administration. Blood (10ml) was collected from each enrolled patient and later subjected tofull haemogram (1ml), Salmonella Antigen test (1ml) and general bacterial isolation (8ml). Results: HIV positive pati
