Bacteriological Profile and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern of Intra-abdominal Infections : A Study from a Tertiary Care Hospital of North India 1

Materials and methods: A total of 145 samples (ascitic fluids, n = 56; bile, n = 20; and pus, n = 36) were collected from suspected IAI of patients reporting to the hospital and cultured. Identification of the isolates was done using standard identification protocol. Antimicrobial susceptibility was performed by Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method and interpretation was done according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines.
