Determining the Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern of Bacterial Isolates from Wound Infection and Their Sensitivity to Antibiotic Agents: A Retrospective Study | Chapter 1 | Advanced Concepts in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 5

 This stage aims to determine antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of bacterial isolates from wound contamination and their sensitivity to antimicrobial powers. Surgical wound infection is clinically defined as decayed discharge from the surgical wound.This retrospective study was completed activity among patients accompanying wound infection in Suyash excellent speciality hospital, all the while January, 2012 and December, 2013. Sterile cotton swabs were used to capture the wound clean, which was then treated for bacterial isolation and integral antimicrobial agent susceptibility experiment.A total of 258 specimens surrendered 78 bacterial isolates in this investigation, depicting a 31.2% isolation rate. Gram certain staphylococci 36 (46.2%) and gram negative streptococci 18 (23.1%), gram negative pseudomonas 12 (15.4%), and grandam negative proteus 8 (10.4%) were ultimate common bacteria unique from wounds. Ten (12.8%) and 68 (87.2%) of the bacterial isolates were gram negative and grandam positive bacteria, individually. In the current investigation, the adulthood of pathogens identified from wound isolates exhibited a meaningful prevalence of opposition to the most often recommended, more recent medicines used to treat bacterial infections. Consequently, it is important to take medicines properly.

Assessment of Antibiotic Sensitivity Pattern of Bacterial Isolates in the Intensive Care Unit of a Tertiary Care Hospital in Eastern India| Chapter 9 | Issues and Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol.10

 Background: Nosocomial infections are a primary cause of morbidity and mortality in hospitalised patients, particularly critically sick patients in the intensive care unit (ICU), where a large number of medications are provided, resulting in the development of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms.

The study's goal was to determine the prevalence of common bacterial germs, as well as their medication sensitivity and resistance, in the ICU of an Eastern Indian teaching hospital.

A retrospective record-based study was conducted in the ICU of Hi- Tech Medical College and Hospital in Odisha, Eastern India, from November 2011 to October 2012. Patients who were clinically suspected of contracting an infection within 48 hours of being admitted to the ICUs were included in the study. Patients' clinically suspected laboratory samples were gathered and antibiotic sensitivity was assessed.

The rate of nosocomial infection was found to be 28.2 percent. Urinary tract infection was the most prevalent infection (54.9 percent). E. coli was the most prevalent isolate (52.7%), followed by P. mirabilis (15.4%) and Ps aeruginosa (14.4%). (13.2 percent). E. coli was very susceptible to Polymyxin B, Gatifloxacin, and Ceftriaxone, whereas it was highly resistant to Cephalexin, Cefadroxil, Tobramycin, and Prulifloxacin.

Conclusions: Resistance to third-generation cephalosporins and aminoglycosides was found in the majority of the bacterial isolates. Antibiotic susceptibility patterns must be monitored on a regular basis, and antibiotics must be used wisely to reduce nosocomial infection rates and antimicrobial resistance.
