Bacteriological profile of Blood Stream Infection in Tertiary care Hospital, Kolhapur
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 10
Abstract
Background: Blood stream infection (BSI) is the most devastating infection in hospital settings especially in critical care units. They can be caused by Bacteria, Virus as well as fungi. BSI with MDR (Multidrug Resistance) pathogens is more common so, the treatment of the patient with MDR is challenging only. Aim: The objective of this study is to evaluate the spectrum of bacterial blood stream infection by using inflammation and antimicrobial resistance patterns. Methodology: This retrospective study was conducted in the Department of Microbiology, at D.Y Patil Medical College and Hospital, Kolhapur. Patients of all ages (0 to 70 Years) and both genders who were admitted to medical general wards and ICUs were included during the period of Jan 2016 to Jan 2018 Results: In this study, a total of 500 patients were included. Of these, 161 showed positive. Out of 161 isolates 95 gram positive bacteria (59.01%) and 65 gram negative bacteria were isolated (40.99%). Of these, resistance to ESBL 23.07%, Carbapenem resistance (MBL) 20%, Methicillin Resistance Staphylococcus (MRS) 28.42%, MDR (Multidrug Resistance) 9.23% were observed Conclusion: MDR continues to increase at a rapid rate so proper disease management and detection of inflammation markers could be help to differentiate infection from noninfectious fever and helps to optimize the usage of antibiotics in general patients, minimize the emergence of developing the antibiotic resistance.
