Antibiogram Profiles of Bacteria Isolated from Different Body Site Infections Among Patients Admitted to GAMBY Teaching General Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia

Infections with multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria are serious threats to many low-income countries associated with overuse and misuse of antibiotics. This study determined the antibiogram profiles of bacteria isolated from different body site infections among patients admitted to GAMBY Teaching Ge...

Description
Summary:Infections with multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria are serious threats to many low-income countries associated with overuse and misuse of antibiotics. This study determined the antibiogram profiles of bacteria isolated from different body site infections among patients admitted to GAMBY Teaching General Hospital, Bahir Dar, Northwest Ethiopia. A hospital-based cross-sectional study was done between November 2015 and May 2018. Various clinical specimens were sampled from patients and analyzed for aerobic bacterial isolation and Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion susceptibility testing. Chi-square test was calculated to see association among variables, and -value
