Antibiogram is the periodic evaluation of
antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of bacterial isolates in a local area. It
helps clinicians in selecting antimicrobials for empirical therapy and monitors
the development of resistance.
This study is a move to determine the
antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of E. coli from urine, exudate and blood
samples. It is a retrospective review of in-patient culture results of urine,
exudate and blood samples were investigated from January 2015 to December 2015.
A total of 254 reports were obtained for
analysis of antimicrobial susceptibility for 19 antibiotics. Out of the total
254 E. coli isolates, the highest number of positive E. coli isolates were
found among urine samples (74%) followed by exudates (21%) and blood (5%).
