Growing Drug Resistance And Hospital Acquired Gram- Negative Bacilli Infections
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
The choice of empiric antimicrobial regimen is based on susceptibility pattern of pathogens. The aim of this study was to assess drug resistance pattern of Gram-negative bacilli isolated from hospitalized patients. Samples of urine, pus and sputum, which were collected between from January 2014 to December 2014 and Gram-negative isolates were obtained using standard bacteriological techniques. Their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern was identified by using Kirby-Bauer disc-diffusion method as per clinical and laboratory standards institute guidelines (CLSI). The most common organism was E.coli followed by Klebsiella, Pseudomonas, Citrobacter and Proteus The organisms showed maximum drug resistance for norfloxacin and least for imipenem.
