Abstract

Background: Extended Spectrum b -Lactameses Producing Organisms (ESBLs) are increasing in number and causing more severe infections because of their continuous mutation and multidrug resistance property with limited therapeutic option.

Aims and Objectives: Present study was undertaken to detect the prevalence of the ESBLs producing bacteria in wound infection, so as to provide a base line data in treating them & prevent unnecessary use of antibiotics

Methods: Isolated gram-negative bacteria initially screened by Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) ESBLs breakpoints. Then suspected ESBLs producers were confirmed by Phenotypic confirmatory test. Results: 105 (One hundred five) (91.30%) bacterial strains were isolated from 115 samples of wound swab & pus from different patients were studied of which 84(80.00%) were Gram-negative and 21(20.00%) were Gram-positive. Among the isolated Gram-negative bacteria 79(94.05%) were found suspected ESBLs producers of which 54(68.35%) were found as confirmed ESBL producers. The prevalence of ESBLs producing organisms in the present study were found to be 64.29% and Klebsiella spp as most prevalent ESBLs producers.

Conclusion: It is essential to report ESBL production along with routine sensitivity reporting, which will help the clinician in prescribing the proper antibiotics.
