Analysis of antibiotic sensitivity reveals prevalent bacterial strains in clinical specimens from a tertiary care hospital, indicating urgent treatment needs.

Key Points

Older adults show a significantly higher prevalence of bacterial infections, with rates at 36% compared to just 9.9% in patients under 20 years.
The gram-negative bacteria E. coli was the most commonly identified pathogen, contributing to 29.7% of infections in the study.
Utilizing the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method allowed effective determination of antibiotic resistance patterns in identified strains.
This research underscores the importance of understanding local antibiotic susceptibility patterns, aiding healthcare providers in more effective treatment decisions.
