Abstract
AIM : The primary aim of the study is to evaluate the resistance patterns of microorganisms to various antibiotics in Nosocomial infections undertaking a surveillance study by using antibiogram reports. OBJECTIVES: To conduct a surveillance study on antibiotic resistance in patients with Nosocomial infections using antibiogram reports. To determine the sensitivity patterns of microorganisms to the antibiotics prescribed during the study period. To determine the resistance patterns of microorganisms to the antibiotics prescribed during the study period. To monitor the extent of compliance of antibiotics prescribed with the results of antibiograms. To understand the present prescribing patterns of antibiotics in nosocomial infections in the hospital. To aid in optimum drug therapy by promoting rational use of antibiotics. CONCLUSION: This study conveys that the major reason for antibiotic resistance is the inappropriate use of antibiotics due to lack of uniform policies and disregard for hospital infection control practices. So it is the time to think, plan and formulate a strong antibiotic policy to address this present scenario. Hence in the near future itself antibiotic prescribing guidelines have to be prepared and implemented for Nososcomial infections. Otherwise, empirical therapies will be ineffective which will in turn lead to widespread abuse of broad spectrum antibiotics which will ultimately result in further increase of resistance.
