The most common bacterial isolate was Staphylococcus aureus (83.3%), almost half being methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Others included coagulase-negative Staphylococcus, Enterococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, Candida spp., and acid-fast bacilli.CONCLUSIONS:The treatment of all such microorganisms is different, signifying that microbial diagnosis plays a pivotal role in management of such abscesses.Item Viral Infections and Schizophrenia.(2008-10) Duggal, Shalini; Bhatia, Nirmaljit Kaur; Duggal, Ashish Kumar; Bhatia*, M S
