The Prevalence of Pathogenic Bacteria from Different Clinical Samples in a tertiary care hospital
Keywords:
Antimicrobial Susceptibility, Disk diffusin technique, Antibiotic ResistanceAbstract
The present study was undertaken to assess the antibiotic susceptibility patterns of various pathogens at a tertiary care hospital in Patiala, India. Total of 425 culture positive samples including blood isolates, urine isolates and other isolates were taken and microbial sensitivity testing was done using disk diffusion test. The results confirmed the presence of high priority pathogens including S.aureus, Enterococcus species, Klebsiella species, Esch.coli, Pseudomonas species, Acinetobacter species and candida species in the isolates.By assuming the causative agent before starting empirical treatment can act as lifesaving in critical situations. It also helps to choose the most suitable antibiotic from the pool instead of haphazard use.
