WHO’s recent global report on AMR surveillance has revealed the gaps in information on pathogens of major public health importance. The report also points out the significant disparities in surveillance quality, varying methods of data collection and lack of common platform for data-sharing, as well as the lack of common standards on such issues. The study included multidrug resistant Gram negative bacilli isolated from various clinical samples from patients from all the hospitals. Sample size was calculated as 133, rounded off to 150, assuming 1% alpha error, and 15% relative precision, 69% to 95% sensitivity of Colistin among MDR gram negative bacteria.Diabetic foot (20%) and post-operative state (20%) showed higher chances of mixed infection with MDR organisms followed by sepsis (16.7%), ulcer (16.7%), surgical site infections (10.5%) and peritonitis (8.3%).Burns, compound fracture, lower respiratory tract infections, road traffic accidents, tracheostomy site infections and urinary tract infections yielded only pure growth. |
