The choice of antimicrobial therapy for bloodstream infection is often empirical and based on the knowledge of local antimicrobial activity profiles of the most common bacteria causing infections. This study was conducted at Government Vellore Medical College Hospital to correlate the antibiotic sensitivity pattern with the empirically chosen antibiotics by the clinicians to treat blood stream infections and the change of antibiotic according to the sensitivity pattern. The aim of this work to assess whether antibiotics were changed after receiving blood culture reports by the clinicians. Out of 122 patients included in the study, antibiotics were changed in 107 patients (88%) after the issue of the sensitivity report. The clinical condition of the patient improved with the administration of antibiotics recommended as per the sensitivity report. Mortality was significantly reduced in strictly following the sensitivity pattern. Action plan to educate about Antibiotic choice of bloodstream infections as per Hospital Antibiotic policy of the Hospital, to implement change of antibiotics following reports as per Hospital policy and periodic surveillance regarding sustenance of the Antibiotic policy norms.
India has world’s largest livestock population and 1st rank in milk production with 187 million tons in 2018-19. Dairy farming is the single largest contributors to Indian GDP with 5.1 % in 2018-19 and annual growth rate in Livestock sector is 4.6%. Indian dairy production is characterized as a low input/low output system. In general, milk productivity of dairy animals is very low in comparison to global standards. The lower milk yield is mainly due to low genetic potential, lack of nutritional feeds and inadequate veterinary services. So, with suitable and scientific approach production efficiency can raise. In this context, Precision dairy farming (PDF) aims to improve individual animal performance, well being and socio-economic status of dairy farmer. Today, traditional dairy farming becomes organized commercial business with technological specializations in every part of the process. Thus, farmers are shifting towards adopting modern dairy farming practices for increase their production. PDF is the use of information and technology based farm management system to record physiological, behavioral and production parameters of individual animals to improve management strategies, profitability and production performance. There are so many important precision dairy farming technologies available globally, which are routinely useful for large and commercial dairy farm. In this direction, the authors have also highlighted the status of adoption in Indian scenario, benefits, challenges and limitations of precision dairy farming technologies. Many developing countries including India are in initial stage in these advance technology, but there are tremendous opportunities for betterment of animal and upliftment of animal husbandry profession.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
