Abstract :

 Objectives: To see the bacterial prevalence other than mycobacterium tuberculosis and its sensitivity against amoxicillin in patient with acute respiratory tract infection. Methods: 300 sputum samples were collected each year from 2013 to 2015 in two summer month (May and June) from all the adult patients with diagnosis of acute respiratory tract infection. Collected specimens were sent for bacterial identification and for their sensitivity against amoxicillin. Results: There is increase in bacterial pathogen load from year 2013 to 2015. The amoxicillin sensitivity is also found to be decrease from year 2013 to 2015 in Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa Conclusion: Bacterial pathogen causing acute respiratory infection except mycobacterium tuberculosis and its resistance against amoxicillin are increasing year by year in Rohilkhand Region of Uttar Pradesh.
