Identification of Resistance Pattern in Different Strains of Bacteria causing Septicemia in Human at Lady Reading Hospital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

Septicemia is one of the most life threatening problems and a major cause morbidity mortality particularly in neonates children. The current research was carried out on identification antibiotics susceptibility pattern pathogens responsible for septicemia. A total 121 samples were collected from septicemia suspected infants admitted lady Reading Hospital (LRH), Peshawar, Pakistan. Among samples, 43 (35.53%) blood cultures positive Out cases, 27 (62.79%) showed growth gram while 16 (37.20%) Gram negative bacteria. common isolates Staphylococcus aureus 19 (70.37%) Enterococcus spp., 8 (29.62%). Klebsiella pneumonia 6 (37.5%), followed by pseudomonas aeruginosa 4 (25%) Escherichia coli (25%), Citrobacter freundii 1 (6.25%) Serratia (6.25%). resistant to ampicillin doxycycline, cefoxitin, gentamycin, but sensitive linezolid. spo., doxycycline teicoplanin minocycline.
