Abstract Background: Environmental sanitation plays a significant role on the prevalence of enteropathogenic bacteria. This study aimed to determine the trends in the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance profiles of enteropathogenic bacteria from 2011 to 2019. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed using data from stool cultures of Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Plesiomonas shigelloides, Yersinia
