摘要：
Background and Objectives: Antimicrobial resistance is on the rise and its early detection is important in implementing effective control measures. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study of the antibiotic sensitivity profile of 107 culture positive samples collected over a period of 17 months. The antimicrobial susceptibility tests were done using the Bauer - Kirby method. Results: E-coli was the commonest organism isolated. Penicillin G and Ciprofloxacin were the most effective antibiotics against gram +ve and gram -ve infections respectively. Discussion: Antibiotics like Co-trimoxazole and Gentamycin fared better than newer antibiotics because of limited use.
