Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Nosocomial Infection: Burden in Surgical Site of Tertiary Care Unit

Antibiotic when first introduced was considered as a magic bullet. A single injection of penicillin could eradicate a life threatening infection. Unfortunately with time due to malpractices of natural causes, most of the cheaper antibiotics have lost their efficacy and more and more expensive and complicated antibiotics were introduced and marketed to combat simple infection (Betty et al., 2007). The microbial pathogens, as well as, their antibiotic sensitivity pattern, may change from time to time and place to place. Therefore knowledge of current drug resistance pattern of the common pathogenic bacteria in a particular region is useful in clinical practice.
