Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 9
Abstract
Introduction: Although progress has been made to eradicate or control many infectious diseases, humankind remains vulnerable to a wide array of new and resurgent organisms. The outcome of any infection depends on the virulence of infectious agents, the number of organisms in infecting inoculum and the response of the immune system of the host. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive study done in Lifecare Diagnostics and Research Centre for three years (2015-2017). Specimens of different pattern like blood, pus and urine were studied. Total specimens were 563. Urine specimens were 418, blood specimens were 48 and Pus 97. Before starting this study, we have taken ethical clearance from the institution. Results: This study shows most common organism cultured in urine specimen is E. coliand most sensitive antibiotic is Amikacin. Similarly, in Pus culture is Staphylococcus aureus and most sensitive antibiotic is Vancomycin and in blood culture the organism was Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus spp and the most sensitive antibiotic is Vancomycin and Ampicilin. Conclusion: Regular surveillance of different types of organisms and sensitivity to different types of drugs should be carried out for the treatment of the patient scientifically.
