One of the possible way to spread out such microorganism is migration, including traveling due to foreign education [1]. The aim of this study is to analyze the antibiotic resistance of microorganisms by Enterobacteriaceae family isolated from foreign medical students (India, Pakistan) and medical students of Kazakhstan studying at Karaganda State Medical University, Kazakhstan.
