Antibiogram profile

Blood stream infections are very common in paediatric age group and are one of the common causes of morbidity and mortality. Septicaemia gradually leads to serious consequences like shock, multi organ failure, DIC etc. Timely identification of causative pathogen by blood culture (gold standard) is important. Antibiogram also helps us to elevate consciousness on resistance problems and recognise prospect to decrease the use of inappropriate antibiotics. The study was undertaken to evaluate major bacterial isolates causing septicaemia and their antibiogram pattern.

Surgical site infection(SSI) is among the most common causes of nosocomial infections in the literature. SSI increases the financial burden, length of hospital stays and significant morbidity and mortality of the patient. These infections have a tremendous impact on morbidity and mortality as SSIs doubled the patient’s risk of death after surgery Therefore despite all recent advances, SSI still continue to be a major problem in the hospitals even with all available modern facilities.

Neonatal septicemia is a clinically diagnosed condition having diverse etiology and changing antibiotic sensitivity pattern. The knowledge of common bacterial agents causing septicemia and their antibiogram is useful in deciding empirical antimicrobial therapy. The neonatal blood cultures were studied to know the bacterial species and their antibiotic sensitivity pattern. Aim of the study is to evaluate sensitivity pattern of bacterial isolates causing neonatal septicemia and to know clinical outcome of the cases.

Mechanical ventilation is a life-saving procedure, but it is associated with a high risk of acquiring respiratory infections. Hence to prevent it and initiate empirical antimicrobial therapy, knowledge of microbial profile and their local antimicrobial sensitivity pattern are essential. A prospective analytical study of Endotracheal tube (ETT) aspirates of mechanically ventilated patients in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) was done over a period of six months (Dec2015-May2016).

Cholera has been reported in the state of Odisha, India since more than two decades. The present study was carried out during the year 2000 to 2004 to find out the incidence and molecular analysis of V. cholerae causing diarrhoea among some primitive tribes namely Bondo, Didayi, Juanga and Kondha residing in Odisha, India. Bacteriological analysis of 1066 rectal swabs collected from hospitalized diarrhoea patients in tribal areas revealed 9.8 % were positive for V. cholerae O1 Ogawa and 3.8% for V. cholerae O139 serogroup.

Central Venous Catheter (CVC) remains a suitable form of vascular access for patients with chronic hemodialysis and has been estimated that almost 30-40% of patients are dependent on CVCs for their vascular access. Aim of the study is to determine the prevalence of Catheter Related Blood Stream Infections (CRBSIs). A Cross sectional study was undertaken after ethical committee approval, Blood samples (5ml-10ml) were collected from catheter site under sterile precautions and Blood Culture (Bac„T‟Alert) performed and isolates grown were identified by routine methods as per standards.

India accounts for 30% of neonatal deaths globally. Bacterial sepsis is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in newborns. The study helps to make antibiotic policy in neonatal sepsis. The main objective is to study the incidence of multidrug resistant gram negative and gram positive organisms causing neonatal septicemia and their antibiotic sensitivity pattern. The study was conducted in the Department of Microbiology over a period of one year. Sample of blood was collected under aseptic precautions and processed by standard techniques.

Nosocomial infection is a key factor in determining clinical outcomes among patients admitted in intensive care units. Studies on nosocomial infections in ICUs found that respiratory tract infections, blood stream infections, urinary tract infections and soft tissue infections are the common nosocomial infections in ICUs. These organisms causing nosocomial infections are highly resistant to antibiotics. Early recognition of bacteria and appropriate antimicrobial therapy are essential for controlling infection, preventing the morbidity and improve the quality of life.

Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a persistent, insidious and potentially dangerous disease because of its various fatal complications. It is still a significant health problem in developing countries. It is the common cause of conductive deafness. Change in the bacteriological scenario with indiscriminate use of antimicrobial agents has been associated with the emergence of multiple drug resistant strains. Information regarding the common pathogens and their antibiotic sensitivities is essential for the proper choice of antibiotics.

The poultry industry, especially chicken production has in recent times faced a major set-back due to devastating effects of APEC Extended Spectrum BetaLactases (ESBL) producing organisms. This research aimed at investigating antimicrobial susceptibility profile and diversity of ESBL producing avian pathogenic Escherichia coli(APEC) among fecal cloacal swaps of scavenging local chickens based on the various housing systems. The APEC isolates were determined by virulence factor profiling and by Kirby-Baeur disc diffusion, 42% of the APEC isolates were found to be ESBL producers.
