Study on chloramphenicol resistance pattern in Central India, Indore
Keywords:
Chloramphenicol, drug resistance, gram positive, gram negative organismAbstract
Background- Chloramphenicol (CK) is drug of choice in many life threatening and serious bacterial infections. Due to development of resistance and toxicity associated with this drug, it is not in common use now days. This study was done to find out prevalence of CK resistance pattern.
Material Methods- 100 consecutive pus samples from surgical site infections from various specialties of index medical college hospital and research center were studied in microbiology department during period of 1year.
Results- Gram positive as well as Gram negative organisms had shown sensitivity to Chloramphenicol. Also organisms were resistant to commonly used higher antibiotics.
Conclusion- CK can be used for common serious IPD patients not having contraindication to this drug. Study also reinforces proper and rational use of antibiotics.
