Study of Bacteriological Profile and Antibiotic Sensitivity & 
Resistance Pattern in Pus Culture Isolates at Tertiary 
Care Teaching Hospital in Bhopal
Nidhi Jain, Abhay Joshi, Rakesh Sonawane, Arun Srivastav
Objective: To study the bacteriological profile and the pattern of antibiotic sensitivity and 
resistance in pus culture isolates in a tertiary care teaching hospital in Bhopal. 
Materials and Methods: Pus specimens submitted to the microbiology laboratory for 
routine cultures and sensitivity were analyzed prospectively for the duration of 2 months. 
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by Kirby-Bauer Disk Diffusion 
method. 
Results: Among the total 440 samples analyzed, 319 samples (72.5%) were found to be 
positive for growth. Out of 319 growths, 286 shows single isolate and 33 shows mixed 
(double) isolates. Out of these positive samples, 269 samples (84.33%) were positive for

other than bacteria i.e. fungal growth. Klebsiella was the most common Gram–negative bacteria isolated & other common Gram-negative bacteria isolated were Pseudomonas 
and E.coli species while Staphylococcus aureus & CONS were the commonest Gram–positive bacteria. Gram negative bacteria shows >35% sensitivity to Meropenem, 
Imipenem-cilastatin, Cefoperazone and >20% sensitivity to Piperacillin-Tazobactam and Gatifloxacin. They were most resistant to Cefpodoxime, Cefprozil. Gram positive bacteria 
were >70% sensitive to Lincomycin and Ampicillin-Sulbactam while most resistant to 
Clarithromycin, Sparfloxacin, Gatifloxacin. 
Conclusion: We must use antibiotics rationally and judiciously as these are precious and 
limited resources. So in order to combat the menace of resistant microorganisms, we 
should join hands to formulate safe and effective antibiotic policies at loco-regional as 
well as national level. Because, if such type of indiscriminate, irrational and widespread 
use of antibiotics is allowed to continue, the day is not far when the resistance rates among 
the micro-organisms will become so high that the most innocuous looking infections may 
prove fatal for life.
