Abstract: Multidrug-resistant (MDR) organisms or Pandrug resistant (PAN) or Extensive drug resistant (XDN) are an established and growing worldwide public health problem and few therapeutic options remain available. The antibiotic susceptibility profile of different bacterial isolates was studied to detect incidence of MDR organisms. The clinical samples were cultured and bacterial strains were identified in the department of microbiology in tertiary care hospital and measures to control MDR were identified. The 1270 samples were studied.
Results: shows that there are 36% gram negative bacilli MDR and 4.6% MRSA, 1.7% VRE in gram positive organisms. No PANdrug resistant organism was isolated at all.
Conclusion: Local microbiologic data are extremely important to detect prevalence of MDR organisms, to check the infection trend, and to initiate effective measures to control MDR organism .It also indicates that prior antibiotic exposure of organism is important and antibiotic choices should thus be made at an individual patient level. Administration of unnecessary prolonged broad-spectrum antibiotics should be avoided as is important are proper isolation practices as per infection control guidelines to prevent transmission of infection.
Keywords: Multidrug-resistant (MDR), Pandrug resistant (PAN), Extensive drug resistant (XDN).
