A study of bacteriological profile and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of bacteria isolated from blood stream infections in a tertiary care hospital

Abstract

Background: Blood cultures are procedures that aid in evaluation of microorganisms present in the blood and guide the treatment of various pathogens leading to blood stream infections and the most dreaded complication sepsis
Aim: To study the distribution of bacterial flora and antimicrobial susceptibility in blood stream infections (BSI) in adults and pediatric patients including neonates.
