Abstract
The health of the hospital associated persons, particularly those dealing directly with insertion of devices, are serious cause of concern for hospitals. In this study, the most prevalent organism on the surface of medical devices in PICU were
CoNS
(16.66%) and
Staphylococcus aureus
(16.66%), while in NICU the most prevalent organism was
Klebsiella
spp. (11.25%) among
Entero-bacteriaceae
group followed by
Acinetobacter baumannii
(10%),
Escherichia coli
(2.5%),
CoNS
(6.25%),
S. aureus
(6.25%) and
Enterococcus faecalis
(6.25%). The most common species identified from blood specimen of clinical samples shows the maximum presence of
Candida
sp. (60/135) followed by
A. baumannii
(21/135),
Klebsiella Pneumoniae
(20/135),
Enterococci
(12/135), Burkholderia
cepacia complex
(8/135),
S. aureus
(6/135),
E. coli
(5/135),
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(3/135). Different antibiotics have been used against these micro-organisms; but Cotrimoxazole, Vancomycin have been found more effective against
CoNS bacteria
, Clindamycin, Tetracycline for
S. aureus
, Nitofurantoin for Acinetobacter, and for
E. faecalis
,
A. baumanii
, and
Klebsiella
, erythromycin, Colistin, and Ceftriaxone have been found more effective respectively.
