Abstract:
The retrospective study analyzed 1025 bacterial isolates from blood cultures collected from pediatric patients admitted in a tertiary-care hospital in New Delhi to find out drug sensitivity patterns. Staphylococcus was isolated from approximate 70% of the cultures, with 63.7% of them being methicillin-resistant. Meropenem resistance among acinetobacter was 38.6%.
