The hospital antibiogram is a periodical summarization of antibiotics susceptibility of local bacterial isolates. This is the first step in formulation of a hospital’s own antibiotic policy. This will enhance use of justified empirical antibiotics which in turn helps proper antibiotic usage. This has tremendous influence in making guidelines for a defined region. We are taking a period w.e.f. December’ 2017 to May’ 2018.

DECEMBER 2017- MAY 2018

SAMPLE SIZE = 606

RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS (RTI)- INDOOR ANTIBIOGRAM

HOSPITAL ACQUIRED

COMMUNITY ACQUIRED

 MICROBIOLOGY DATA (n=43 )

Enterococcus species = 2

Conclusion:

Bacteria’s shows varying degree of sensitivity in different part of world as well as in different area the commonest pathogen differs. In north east part of india we have a different types of commonest organisms and knowing our own local pathogen will greatly help in choosing empirical antibiotics in different infections and in different severity of illness which ultimately improve outcome.
