Background and Objective.
Antimicrobial resistance is now a major challenge to clinicians for treating patients.
Hence, this short term study was undertaken to detect the incidence of multidrug-resistant (MDR), extensively drug-resistant (XDR), and pandrug-resistant (PDR) bacterial isolates in a tertiary care hospital.
Material and Methods.
The clinical samples were cultured and bacterial strains were identified in the department of microbiology.
The antibiotic susceptibility profile of different bacterial isolates was studied to detect MDR, XDR, and PDR bacteria.
Results.
The antibiotic susceptibility profile of 1060 bacterial strains was studied.
393 (37.1%) bacterial strains were MDR, 146 (13.8%) strains were XDR, and no PDR was isolated.
All (100%) Gram negative bacterial strains were sensitive to colistin whereas all (100%) Gram positive bacterial strains were sensitive to vancomycin.
Conclusion.
Close monitoring of MDR, XDR, or even PDR must be done by all clinical microbiology laboratories to implement effective measures to reduce the menace of antimicrobial resistance.
