Prevalence of Drug Resistance Bacteria in Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Healthcare Level in Bangladesh

Antibiotic resistance is increasing day by day. The antibiotic resistance profile of Gram positive and Gram negative organisms shows different multidrug resistance as like Ampc+ve, ESBL+ve in different age & sex groups. The present study aimed to ascertain current situation of antimicrobial resistance in Primary, Secondary and Tertiary level Hospital. Objectives: To estimate the antibiotic resistance among the organisms isolated from patients in different age & sex groups attending at selective primary, secondary & tertiary level health care. A total of 150 samples were subjected to bacteriologic culture in the department of Microbiology, BIHS General Hospital, Mirpur, Dhaka, during the period of 1st May 2018 to 30th April 2019. Specimens were collected from hospitalized and outdoor patients of different age and sex groups. All urine specimens were examined by routine microscopy to find out significant pyuria. All isolates were identified by standard microbiological technique and their antibiotic susceptibility was observed by disk diffusion method. Strict aseptic precautions were taken all through the culture system.
