ABSTRACT
Bacteremia is one of the most significant public health concerns and is a challenge
in critical care of a patient. Early diagnosis of bacteremia could be vital step in
estimating appropriate treatment as well as beginning of it. The current study aims
to discover the pervasiveness of different bacterial species responsible for causing
bacteremia around the population of various gender and age group and enabling the
doctors for choosing the verifiable antimicrobials through antimicrobial
susceptibility patterns. The diagnosis was achieved by isolation and identification of
the bacteria, causing infection. 1105 samples of blood were collected from suspected
patients of different gender as well as age groups. Samples were processed according
to the standard microbiological protocol during the period from 1 January’21 to 31
March’21. Out of total screened blood samples, only 110 cultures were found to be
positive, from which 59 Gram-negative bacterial isolates and 51 Gram-positive
bacterial isolates were identified, and their antimicrobial susceptibility testing was
performed through fully automated VITEK2 Compact. Salmonella typhi and
Salmonella paratyphi A were the most predominant Gram-negative bacteria isolated.
Staphylococcus epidermis and Staphylococcus hominis were most predominant
Gram-positive bacteria isolated. Few other Staphylococcus, Enterococcus and E.coli
were also identified in the remaining isolates. The study reflected that males were
more suspected to bacteremia as compared to females and age group
