Abstract

27% of patients in our hospitals suffer from prolonged hospitalization due to resistant infections and since Antibiogram is a collection of data usually in the form of a table summarizing the percent of individual bacterial pathogens susceptible to different antimicrobial agents it was an important key solution to make studies on it to follow the percentage of augmentation of antibiotics resistance

           An Antibiogram is generated after bacteria are isolated ( from a patient's tissues or body fluids) and subjected to laboratory testing.

           Antibiogram is often used by clinicians to assess local susceptibility rates, as an aid in selecting empiric antibiotic therapy. Antibiogram is used  to monitoring resistance trends over time in hospital, Antibiogram can also be used to compare susceptibility rates across hospitals .in this study we collect the data of 595 patient and collected   from July 2018 to April 2019 and by using  laboratory  BACT/ALERT and Vitek  instrument. the result  of antibiotic sensitivity test of E coli in urine samples for Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole  was 16%, for Ciprofloxacin  was 87%, for Gentamicin was 77% ,for  Amikacin 100%, for Nitrofurantoin 100% and for Meropenem 100% however  antibiotic sensitivity test of staphylococcus aureus in blood samples for Benzyl penicillin was  zero, for Levofloxacin 93%, for Vancomycin 93.7%, for Gentamicin was 100% and for clindamycin  81%. As a conclusion Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole for urinary tract infection  and  Benzyl penicillin for staphylococcus infection  was significantly inactive, gentamicin for urinary tract infection  and ciprofloxacin  for staphylococcus infection were partially active while the rest of antibiotics mentioned above are significantly  still active.
