Occurrence And Multiple Antibiotic Susceptibility Profile Of Bacterial Pathogens Isolated From Patients With Chronic Respiratory Diseases

AbstractObjectives: The present study reported the antibiotic susceptibility profile and pattern of pathogens isolated from in- and out-patients with respiratory tracts infections. Methods: Sputum and throat swab samples were collected aseptically from subjects and cultured on the appropriate bacteriological media. Bacterial isolates were identified using biochemical tests and the identity of the isolate was later confirmed using Analytical Profile Index 20E kit. Antimicrobial susceptibility was performed by standard methods. Results: Out of all specimens, 97.2% yielded a positive growth and s…
