Pathogens causing blood stream infections; in cardiac patients and their susceptibility pattern from a tertiary care hospital

ABSTRACT

Blood stream infections [BSI] remain a major cause of debility and death around the world. BSI accounts for 10-20% of all Nosocomial infections. Empirical antimicrobials are based on the susceptibility pattern of the pathogens isolated in a specific institute from time to time. We have conducted this study only on cardiac Patients over two and half years of study duration
