Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2017, Vol 23, Issue 1
Abstract
Blood stream infection are major public health problem which leads to high morbidity and mortality of patients. So for on time diagnosis and appropriate treatment, total 214 blood samples received in microbiology laboratory from tertiary care hospital of R.N.T medical college, Udaipur over the duration of one year. Blood samples collected in BHI broth and the growth obtained was identified by colony morphology, grams staining of isolated colonies and by conventional biochemical tests as per the standard protocol followed in our laboratory and then antibiotic susceptibility test done of isolated colony. Positive blood cultures were obtained in 54.6% of total cases of which Gram-positive bacteria accounted for 61% of cases with staph. aureus predominance, gram negative bacteria accounted for 28% with the predominance of Escherichia coli, klebseilla sp. and pseudomonas sp. and 11.1 % were fungal isolates. The most sensitive drugs for Gram-positive isolates were Amikacin, Ciprofloxacin, Doxycycline, Levofloxacin, Tetracycline and for Gram-negative were Levofloxacin, Tetracycline, Doxycycline and Ciprofloxacin.
