Fiji E, B. Anandharaj

Abstract :

Acinetobacterspp is an opportunistic pathogen causing nosocomial outeaks and its increasing antibiotic resistance makes treatment difficult. Hence, a preliminary study was conducted on the prevalence of carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter spp infections at Sunrise Institute of Medical Sciences, a tertiary care hospital in Kochi, kerala. Various clinical specimens like blood, urine, abscess, vaginal swab were analyzed and the isolates were identified by 16s rDNA sequencing. 15% of the isolates was confirmed and identified as to be resistant to carbapenems.
