Abstract
Blood samples from 2542 clinically diagnosed cases of septicemia were processed. Out of these 946
(76.55%) were from Pediatric Department and rest from other Departments. Growth was obtained in
509(20.02%) cases . Candida spp were isolated from 23 (4.57 ) cases Out of 486 bacterial isolates 52.67
% were gram positive bacteria whereas 47.33% were gram negative bacilli . Staph aureus 133 (27.37%)was
the predominant organisms followed by CONS 98 (20.1%). Amongst gram negative organisms
Enterobacter 69 (14.19 %) was the most predominant followed by Esch coli 45 (9.27 %) Pseudomonas 37
(7.62 %) and Acinetobacter spp 34 (6.69 %). Amongst gram positive organisms maximum resistance
was seen with ampicillin (74.61%) and erythromycin (69.67 %). Most of the gram negative bacilli were
MDR (71%). Maximum resistance was observed with ampicillin (86.1% ) cephalexin (68.07%) and
piperacillin (57.71%). Most successful drugs were amikacin,gentamicin and cefotaxime. 34.35% of the
isolates were ESBL producers.
