EVALUATION OF ANTIBIOTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY PATTERNS OF PATHOGENIC BACTERIA
The drug resistance amongst pathogenic bacteria is a major problem in the treatment of infectious diseases worldwide. In the present study the sensitivity percentage amongst isolates towards antibiotics was very less. Isolates of E. coli were found to be maximally sensitive towards cotrimaxozole (25%) and maximally resistant towards cefoperazone. Isolates of Pseudomonas were found to maximally sensitive towards cefoperazone/sulbactam (20%) and maximally resistant towards amoxycillin. Isolates of Serratia were maximally sensitive towards amikacin (25%) and cotrimaxazole (25%) and maximally resistant towards amoxycillin while isolates of Staphylococcus were maximally sensitive towards cefotaxime (30%) and maximally resistant towards amoxycillin. Isolates of Proteus were found to maximally sensitive towards cotrimaxazole (25%) and maximally resistant towards amoxycillin while isolates of Klebsiella were maximally sensitive towards amoxycillin (25%) and amikacin (25%)
