ANTIBIOTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY PATTERN OF PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA ISOLATED FROM PUS SAMPLES RECEIVED IN A TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL IN CENTRAL INDIA.
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH IN PATHOLOGY AND MICROBIOLOGY - Year 2019, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: a major cause of nosocomial infection. Regional variations in the antibiotic resistance exist for different organisms. In recent years, a considerable increase in the prevalence of multidrug resistance (MDR) in P. aeruginosa has been noticed, leading to high morbidity and mortality. Therefore, this study was done to determine the status of antimicrobial resistance among Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Materials and Methods: The data was collected from laboratory retrospectively, sampled during March 2013 to February 2014. During this period of one year total of 2500 pus specimens of patients admitted in different departments of M.Y.H. hospital were tested and 110 Pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated. Identification was done by standard identification tests & antibiotic susceptibility testing were done as per CLSI guidelines. Result: We found that most of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from pus were resistant to Amoxicillin/Clavulinic acid(96%), Ampicillin/Sulbactum(95%), followed by Ceftazidime(62%), Cefipime(59%), Ciprofloxacin(56%), Levofloxacin(55%), Gentamycin(55%), Amikacin(50%), Aztreonam(45%), Piperacillin(45%), Piperacillin/Tazobactum(32%), Imipenem(23%), Meropenem(24%). Conclusion: Strict antibiotic policies wherein surveillance programmes for multidrug resistant organisms are in place and infection control procedures are properly implemented, are of immediate importance.
