We observed the WHO day today at the Hospital Conference hall from 2 PM onwards. After the MS read out the Message of the Regional Director, Dr Krishna, Pathologist discussed on the concepts and mechanisms of drug resistance. I briefed the floor on the messages of the WHO and its startegies on antimicrobial resistance worldwide.
An interesting revelation of the anti-microbial resistance pattern at the hospital was also shared with the gathering.
may i know what was that interesting revelation disclosed??/may be i can throw some light in it???
ReplyDeleteThe hospital antibiotic sensitivity pattern disclosed that resistance to higher generation antibiotics was more than the ordinary ones! For eg. E coli in the urine was 100 % sensitive to Nitrofurantoin but only about 60 % sensitive to cephalosporins!!

yes , I agree, Penicillin sensitivity is still high in most cases except may be gonorrhoea.
