Abstract
The antibiogram is useful for tracking trends in antimicrobial resistance over time, including information specific to an ICU or ward or comparing inpatients and outpatients. A cumulative antibiogram will be compiled for our institution as part of our antibiotic stewardship programme. The Department of Microbiology at Santosh Medical College & Hospital in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, carried out this prospective study from January to December of 2021. Cumulative antibiograms were created using the species and their patterns of sensitivity that had been gathered. Santosh Hospital in Ghaziabad provided a total of 1395 specimens for culture and sensitivity testing; 450 (32.2%) of those samples produced a positive culture, whereas 945 (67.7%) of those samples produced no growth. It is imperative to make the best possible decision. Antibiotics balance the necessity for a wide array of empiric coverage of possible bacteria with the need to conserve effective antibiotics when they are really necessary.
