Abstract:

Nosocomial Infections (NIs) surveillance plays a vital role in reduced infection rates. Numbers of hospitals are practising the same for many years, and positive effects have demonstrated. Therefore, this study also attempted to evaluate the tendency of NIs towards drug resistance and the resultant impact of surveillance on NIs rates and advisory as a precautionary measure. The use of selective nutrient media assisted in isolating nosocomial pathogens under NIs surveillance program. The Nosocomial pathogens identified by 16S rRNA and 18S rRNA gene sequencing and tested for antibiogram and MIC assay to note the antibiotic sensitivity pattern. The private hospital’s different sections found to be positive for nosocomial pathogens identified as E. coli, K. pneumoniae, S. aureus, E. faceium, P. aeruginosa and fungi Candida albicans. Further based on the antibiogram, all strains found to be multidrug-resistant with an increased MIC level making them virulent strains as per NIs surveillance program carried out in hospital of Maharashtra, India. As per NIs surveillance program carried out in hospital of India, pathogens showcased heterogenicity of prevalence as per areas, and further remained multidrug-resistant even to the third-generation drug indicated the controlling action against them is prerequisite and reported accordingly to the ethical committee monitoring the study.
