Antibiotic Sensitivity Pattern
Keywords:
Corneal ulcer, Suppurative keratitis, Ophthalmology,AntibioticsAbstract
Introduction: Number of blind people in the world is 45 million. Out of which 5.4 million blind people are in our country. Corneal ulcer is a major cause of blindness throughout the world. About10% cases of blindness are due to corneal ulcer. Aim:To detect antibiotic sensitivity Pattern of causative bacteria responsible for corneal ulcer. Material and mathod: 150 samples were collected during period of 1 year from clinically diagnosed cases of corneal ulcer at SSG Hospital, Baroda.Results: Total 150 samples were tested for antibiotic sensitivity pattern and among them Gram positive bacteria showed highest sensitivity to ciprofloxacin and among Gram negative bacteria showed highest sensitivity to ciprofloxacin, gatifloxacin and amikacin while pseudomonas showed highest sensitivity to imepenem
