Bacteriological profile of blood stream infections in tertiary care hospitals in Southern Rajasthan

Dr. Anshu Sharma, Dr. Deepika Atray

Abstract :

Introduction– blood stream infections are caused by wide range of organisms and multidrug resistance is seen in all the isolates.

Aim– The study is conducted to observe the various organisms causing blood stream infection in tertiary care hospital and also the antibiotic sensitivity pattern of various isolates.

Material and Method– 104 samples were tested for blood culture in Brain Heart Infusion agar and further subcultured on for isolates. The antibiotic susceptibility testing was using Kirby Baeur disc diffusion method.

Result– 46 cultures were found to be positive out of which Klebsiella sp was most common followed by CONS and Staphylococcus aureus. Sensitivity of gram positive isolates was maximum to Vancomycin while that of gram negative was to Tetracycline

Conclusion– Antibiotic susceptibility monitoring if blood cultures would help in the treatment as well as control the multidrug resistance in various organisms.
