ABSTRACT
Aim:
ToknowtheincidenceofnosocomialinfectionsintheCOVID19patientsadmitted in the hospital that may help in the selection of the suitable antibiotics followsthebetter managementof theCOVID 19patients.Materials andmethods:
A total of 1534 COVID 19 patients were includedin thestudy.Therespiratory,blood,urinaryandpusformsurgicalsitessampleswerecollected to find the incidence of the bacterial infection in hospitalized COVID 19patients. The samples were collected 48 hours after the admission of the patient in to thehospital.Results:
The incidence of the nosocomial infections in the COVID 19 patients was30.24%. The Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiellapneumoniae, and Coagulase negativestaphylococci were more prevalent bacteria causing secondary infection in COVID 19patients.E.coliwas predominantly seeninUrinesamples.Conclusion:
The rate of bacterial infections in the COVID 19 patients was observed ashighandneedtobeconsideredtotakeprecautionstominimisethespreadofnosocomial infections. The incidence of the bacteria reported in this study may be ofgreat value in the management of the COVID 19 patients and may also help to reducethemortality and morbidity.
