Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Diarrhea is a major cause of mortality & morbidity in pediatric age group of patients’ in developing countries. Surveillance for a broad range of enteric pathogens is necessary to accurately predict the frequency of pathogens & potential changes in antibiotic resistance pattern. Methods: The Stool samples were collected between January 2014 to January 2015 from a total of 200 outdoor & indoor patients at P.D.U. Medical College & Govt. hospital. Bacterial pathogens were isolated & antibiotic susceptibility patterns were ascertained. For E.coli isolates genotyping was done at NICED, Kolkata. Result: The bacterial isolates were 54.5%. Isolation rates were higher in male compared to females, & in 2 years of age group. The bacterial isolation rates were EAEC 80%, ETEC 10%, EPEC 10%, S.sonnei 0.5%.Maxium resistance were observed to Cephalothin, Ampicillin, Cefotaxime, Cephazolin. Conclusion: The bacterial pathogens were found to be a significant cause of diarrhea. The study highlights the need for appropriate treatment of children with diarrhea and promotion of its prevention.
