Abstract :

BACKGROUND Antimicrobial resistance is not only a global threat it alarms the depletion of antimicrobial resource to treat complications. To preserve antimicrobial resource at institutional level , monitoring of antimicrobial susceptibility pattern is mandatory to plan for antibiogram. This would create awareness among clinicians to plan and treat appropriately. Methodology It was a retrospective descriptive study . The data was collected from the Department of Microbiology laboratory register by using WHONET software between January 2018 to December 2018 . Samples were processed as per CLSI 2017 guidelines. The antimicrobial susceptibility testing was done by modified Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method. Results 1934 pus samples analysis revealed 49% of pathogenic microorganisms. Majority of the pus samples received from surgery department. Males (62%) were predominant than females (38%). Staphylococcus aureus 442 (46.3%) was the highest pyogenic organism followed by E.Coli (17 %) , pseudomonas aureginosa (8%) , klebsiella pneumoniae (7%), enterococcus spe. (6%), proteus mirabilis (4%) and acietobacter (2.5%). Conclusion Gram positive organisms were highly susceptible to chloramphenicol , tetracycline , vancomycin , linezolid, teicoplanin and aminoglycosides. Gram negative organisms developed resistance against beta lactam antibiotics , fluroquinolones, chloramphenicol and sulfonamides. Carbapenems , colistin and aminoglycosides are the drugs of choice for Gram negative organisms. Institutional level monitoring of antimicrobial use , rational prescription and fixed dose administration of drugs might help to preserve the antimicrobial resource.
