Abstract EN
This study was conducted in Ayder comprehensive specialized Hospital, Mekelle, Northern Ethiopia, to determine the bacterial profiles and drug susceptibility pattern from body fluids.
A total of 218 patients were investigated, of which 146 (67%) were males.
The age of the study subjects ranged from 2 days to 80 years with 96(44%) in the age group of 15 years and above.
The overall bacterial infection was 44 (20.2 %) of which gram positive bacteria were prevalent, 23 (52.3%) than gram negative bacteria 21 (47.7%).
The predominantly isolated bacteria were S.
pneumonia, followed by K.pneumoniae, S.
aureus, and E coli.
Multidrug resistance was observed in 12 (100%) of the isolated gram positive bacteria and in 6 (75%) of the isolated gram negative bacteria.
