Description :
The worldwide problem of multidrug resistance is such that we are at the end of the pipeline of antibiotics. The aim of this study was to analyze prevalence of multidrug resistant Proteus sp. in clinical samples. Proteusis opportunistic pathogens commonly responsible for nosocomial infections often urinary tract infections, wounds infections and septic infections. In present study total 100 clinical samples from pus, urine, stool and blood were screened for isolation of Proteus sp. Total 21 suspected isolates were identified as belonging to Proteus sp. on the basis of morphological, cultural & biochemical characteristics Antibiogram study of these isolates revealed that all these isolates are resistant to several antibiotics out of 16 antibiotics tested. Antibiogram of these isolates showed that Imipenem was found to be the most effective drug for Proteus sp.
