“…Which is similar to the Raghubanshi et al [28] Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter spp, Staphylococci. In Nithya Chinnusamy et al [29] study Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas spp, Staphylococcus aureus. The hospital's microbial profile, which in turn depends on the kind of procedure being performed there and the patient profile-which includes a higher number of OPD and IPD patients as well as post-surgical patients-was the cause of the most frequent isolates in hospital acquired infections (HAI) patients.…”

Aim: The study's objective is to examine the bacteriological profile and antibiotic susceptibility pattern of isolated organisms in sputum samples in tertiary care hospitals. Material and method: In Lucknow's Era's Lucknow Medical College and Hospital, the microbiology department conducted the current cross-sectional study. Using a regular sampling technique, a total of 1503 patients with clinically confirmed bacterial illnesses were included in the study. As a consequence, 108 bacterial samples produced positive results suggesting bacterial growth, whereas the other samples showed no bacterial growth or normal flora. The Bartlett's procedures were used to assess the sputum's quality. Result: Among1503 samples, 108 were pathogenic. The most common isolate was Klebsiella pneumoniae [41.6%] followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa [34.25%], Escherichia coli [21.29%], Coagulase staphylococcus aureus [1.85%] and Acinetobacter spp [0.92%] from sputum samples of patients suffering from upper or lowers respiratory infection. Conclusion: In our study Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli were the pathogens in all age groups and sexes.

A BSTRACT Background: Bacterial infections are the most common reason for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). This can range from self-limited disease to respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation and is associated with increased mortality and morbidity in survivors. Aim: To ascertain common antibiotics effective in AECOPD using sputum bacterial culture and antibiotic susceptibility testing. Materials and Methods: In the present cross-sectional observational study, we analysed the sputum antibiogram in 237 patients who had not received antibiotics in the past 48 hours. Statistical analysis was performed, and the χ 2 test was used to determine the associations between categorical variables. A P value ≤0.05 was considered significant. Results: Of 237 sputum samples, 77.2% were mucoid in nature, followed by purulent and mucopurulent sputum in 16.9% and 5.9% of cases, respectively. In the purulent/mucopurulent samples, 85.2% showed positive growth on culture compared to 35% of mucoid samples. Cultures grew single pathogens in 108 cases, and 2 grew multiple pathogens; in 127 cases, no pathogenic organisms were isolated. In all, 41 (37.96%) isolates grew Gram-positive and 67 (62.04%) grew Gram-negative organisms. The most effective antibiotic against Gram-negative bacteria was imipenem (50%) and that against Gram-positive bacteria was vancomycin (70.59%). All isolates were resistant to ampicillin. Conclusion: Sputum culture is a good and simple tool to study the aetiology and complications caused by bacteria in AECOPD. The antibiogram helps in identifying the correct treatment and timely initiation of appropriate antimicrobial therapy, thereby helping reduce mortality and morbidity.
