Erythromycin and penicillin showed least sensitivity 36.36% and 36.3% respectively. Coagulase Negative Staphylococci showed relatively high sensitivity to all antibiotics, gentamicin 56.5% ciprofloxacin 82.6% penicillin 56.5% erythromycin 52% and cotrimoxazole 52%. Among Pseudomonas spp. 90% strains showed sensitivity to Imipenem, 90% were sensitive to Amikacin, 70% were sensitive to Gentamicin.
