Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern of Proteus Species Isolated From Various Clinical Samples in a Tertiary Care Hospital
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
Abstract: Proteus species are an important cause of community- and health care-associated infections, including those involving the urinary tract, the abdominal cavity, and the blood stream. This study was undertaken to isolate and identify different Proteus species from various clinical samples and to analyse their antimicrobial suceptibility pattern. One hundred ten isolates from various clinical samples were identified as per conventional phenotypic methods and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was done by Kirby-Bauer Disc diffusion method as per CLSI guidelines. Most common species isolated from various samples was P. mirabilis 80.90% (89/110); followed by P. vulgaris 14.54% (16/110); and P. penneri 4.54% (5/110). Piperacillin-tazobactam was the most sensitive drug for all isolates 95.45% (105/110) followed by imepenem 87.27% (96/110). We concluded that species identification and surveillance of antimicrobial resistance is essential in management and control of infections.
