Abstract
Background: Emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major health concern worldwide. Knowledge about common hospital organisms and their antibiograms play a crucial role in minimized mortality caused by multidrug resistance organisms (MDROs).
Aim: This study determines the bacteriological trends and antibiotic resistance patterns of various clinical samples among hospitalized patients.
Methods: Various clinical specimens were received and processed for culture and identification as per standard operating procedures (SOPs). Antimicrobial susceptibility tests (ASTs) were performed as per standard guidelines.
Results: The prevalence of aerobic bacterial isolates was 31.68%. The most common bacterial isolates were Escherichia coli (E. coli), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Klebsiella species, and Pseudomonas species. The majority of isolates were MDROs.
Conclusion: Regular surveillance of MDRO helps in implementing better therapeutic strategies to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with them.
