Abstract

Antibiotic susceptibility pattern of bacterial pathogens to third generation cephalosporins

The present study was undertaken to assess the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of bacterial pathogens to third generation cephalosporin in rural setup, in India. Due to significant changes in microbial genetic ecology, as a result of indiscriminate use of antimicrobials, the spread of antimicrobial resistance is now a global problem. . The commonest isolates were Klebsiella, E.coli, Staphylococcus aureus(Staph.aureus) and Pseudomonas spp. in the order of 36.8%, 36.8%, 17.9% and 12.9% of isolates respectively. It was detected that there were resistance trends to cephalosporin. Cefotaxime and ceftriazone showed better susceptibility than other third generation cephalosporin.
