| الوصف: | The gradual increase in antimicrobial resistance antibiotics is on the rise and babies are in children is a major challenge in the field of particularly at increased risk because of lower hospit a l epidemiology and medi c a l immunity. The study recommends the need for microbiology. This study was conducted to the development of alternative therapy. investigate the susceptibility pattern of commonly used antimicrobial agents against Keywords: Infection, Bacterial isolates, bacterial isolates in children attending UCTH. Neonates, Antibacterial, Resistance, Sensitive Fifty clinical specimens; blood, urine, eye, ear and wound swap were collected from infants and Introduction children 1-day old to 9 years. About 2mL of the Over the last decade, programs targeting specific blood was dispensed into Brain Heart infusion childhood illness such as diarrhea and acute broth (10ml) contained in a Bijou bottle and respiratory tract infections along with higher 0 incubated for 2 days at 37 C. Midstream urine immunization coverage and bettermanagement of samples were collected into sterile universal illness in children have contributed to significant containers and cultured on blood and CLED agar decline in infant mortality rates in many using the Leigh and Williams paper strip method, developing countries. However, one of the major while sterile swab-stick was used to collect ear challengesin the field of hospital epidemiology is and eye specimen (discharge). The ear the continuousincrease in antimicrobialresistance specimens were cultured on CLED and blood (Lagunju etal.,2008;Akingbadetal.,2013). agar while the eye swap on CLED and chocolate agar. Isolates susceptibility was tested on Therapy of infectious diseases caused by gentamicin, erythromycin, Zithromax, bacteria resistance to multiple antimicrobial ampicillin, amoxicillin and penicillin using disc agents had emerged as one of the greatest diffusion method by Kirby-Bauer. Of the 50 challenges facing clinicians. Problems created subjects examined, a total of 39 ... |
