Aim: To speciate the organism isolated from pus sample received and its antibiotic sensitivity test. Methods and materials: All isolated organism are identified by colony morphology, Gram stain and biochemical reactions. Antibiotic sensitivity test for all isolates were done by Kirby-Bauer method using Mueller Hinton agar. Results: The major contribution of sample was from surgery department (65.3%) followed by orthopedics (10.2%). A total of 383 organism isolated among which Klebsiella pneumoniae dominates (34.46%) followed by Staphylococcus aureus (18.53%). All Gram negative organisms showed maximum resistance to amoxyclav and least to Imipenem. All Gram positive organisms showed least resistance to Vancomycin and Linezolid. Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed maximum resistance to amoxyclav (66.1%) and Gentamicin (57.1%) and least to Imipenem (7.1%). Conclusion: It is observed from the present study that, there is an increase in the resistance among beta-lactam antibiotics and quinolones. Emergence of drug resistance can be effectively controlled by continuous surveillance in hospitals and rational use of antibiotics.

Proteinuria is essential for the diagnosis of preeclampsia. As the Proteinuria increases, the likelihood of complications also increases and hence a rapid and accurate detection and quantization of Proteinuria is essential for the management of hypertensive pregnant women. The protein creatinine ratio in a single urine specimen has been used for the rapid and accurate detection of proteinuria in hypertensive pregnant women as it avoids collection errors and gives physiologically more relevant information. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY: To study the clinical profile of preeclampsia patients. To assess the degree of Proteinuria by 24 hour urine protein and spot urine protein Creatinine ratio in the study population To study if the spot urine protein and creatinine ratio will provide accurate quantification of proteinuria in hypertensive pregnant women. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was observational study it was conducted in King George Hospital for a period of one year & 60 patients were included for the study. RESULTS: In the present study: spot urine p/c ratio sensitivity 100%, specificity 66.67%, and positive predictive value of 98.27% added. CONCLUSION: quantization of proteinuria, when properly interpreted, can provide valuable information.
