Common bacterial isolates and their antibiotic susceptibility profile from different clinical specimens at Felege Hiwot compressive specialized Hospital, North west Ethiopia; A three year retrospective cross-sectional study
Abstract
cephazolin (93.6%) and ampicillin (95.7%) while low level of drug resistance is confirmed in drugs including, amikacin (12.5) levofloxacin (7.3%),linezolid (20%) and nitrofurantoin (23%). Conclusion and Recommendation: Different bacteria with high level of drug resistance are common pathogens in the present study area. Therefore prescribers should order drugs based on antibiotic susceptibility report. Policymakers in the health sector should also develop measures that help the rational use of drugs.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a cross-sectional. Its evidence level is 4 of 5 (Low · observational). Observational designs can show an association but not prove cause.
