Prevalence and Antibiotic Sensitivity Pattern of Organisms Isolated from Post Injection Intramuscular Abscesses in a Tertiary Care Hospital, Kashmir
Journal Title: Journal of Microbiology and Related Research - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Intramuscular injections are a routine procedure performed in the hospital settings mainly for therapeutic purpose. Improperly performed injections may lead to complications of which abscess formation is the most common particularly, where aseptic precautions are not followed. In our study, the organisms causing these abscesses were isolated and identified followed by the study of their antibiotic sensitivity patterns. Thus the trend of their sensitivity pattern was observed over the past seven years duration from January 2012 to December 2018 and used to frame the hospital antibiotic policy.
