Abstract :

In this cross–sectional hospital based study we identified the common aerobic bacterial pathogens and their antimicrobial sensitivity pattern isolated from aspirated body fluid samples in a tertiary care hospital of Patna, Bihar. By using conventional culture technique we found that Escherichia coli was most prevalent pathogen (32.18%) followed by Pseudomonas spp (19.54%), Staphylococcus aureus (14.94%), Acinetobacter spp (10.34%), Klebsiella spp (8.04%), Enterobacter spp (5.74%) and others. Commonly isolated gram negative bacilli were sensitive to aminoglycosides , monobactam, carbapenem, colistin and tigecycline. Pseudomonas spp was resistant to cephalosporins including higher generations. Among the gram positive cocci, Staphylococcus aureus was sensitive to all drugs used for antimicrobial sensitivity testing.
