Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns in Clinically Significant Isolates from Medical Wards of a Tertiary Care Hospital in North India

Abstract: Background The global burden of infections due to multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) has a significant impact on patients’ morbidity and mortality along with increased healthcare expenditure. Aim This article estimates the prevalence of MDRO and the spectrum of clinical infectious syndromes caused by these organisms in medical wards of a tertiary care hospital in India. Design and Methods A cross-sectional observational study was performed among patients admitted in medicine wards diagnosed with the various i… Show more

“…In this study, the most common causative agents were Klebsiella pneumonia (37.20%) and E. coli (30.23%) followed by pseudomonas (16.28%), S. aureus (9.30%), acinetobacter (4.65%) and enterococcus (2.32%) among forty three samples. These data are comparable to previous Indian studies 8,9,12 . Amongst all the cultures most common samples were of sputum (n=17).…”

“…Data from China found Pseudomonas aeruginosa to be the most common bacterial isolates noted in 11.6% of acute leukemia cases [ 13 ]. All these data further emphasize that significant differences exist in the distribution of the most commonly involved etiological agents among children with ALL, so frequent analysis of the most commonly involved pathogens must be conducted to obtain first-hand knowledge about the trends of the most prevalent microorganisms involved [ 15 - 18 ].…”
