STUDY OF AEROBIC BACTERIAL PROFILE OF BLOOD STREAM INFECTIONS AND ANTIBIOTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY PATTERN OF THE ISOLATES IN SKMCH, MUZAFFARPUR

Dr. Anubha, Dr. Ranjeet Kumar, Dr. R. N. Sharma

Abstract


BACKGROUND
Blood stream infections (BSIs) are among the most common
healthcare associated infections. They are a major cause of significant
morbidity and mortality worldwide including India. Increasing
resistance shown by the bacterial isolates to the available antibiotics
and emergence of multi-drug resistant strains has compounded the
problem. Blood culture remains the only definitive diagnostic
modality. However delay in reporting positive cultures is a major
concern to start the therapy. Regular survey of BSIs with regards to the
commonly isolated pathogens and their antibiotic profile would thus
help the clinicians to choose a proper empirical antibiotic until the
culture reports become available.


Keywords
