But today the reckless emergence of AMR and exploitation of antibiotics are of pronounced alarm. Humankind is drifting into an era of multiple drug resistance and an urgent action is required to halt the advent of post-antibiotic era. It is in this regard that the study is undertaken and performed. The aim of this study is to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of general public centered on antibiotics usage and its resistance. A descriptive study among 516 subjects following with simple random sample selection was conducted between May and July 2020 and was done using a structured questionnaire. The data was analyzed using ANOVA (SPSS VERSION 21.0). Out of 516 respondents, majority has agreed the use of antibiotics in viral infections. About 2/3rd of the population has answered that antibiotics can be taken in cold and cough. About 80% of the population think there is mis...

Methods: The study research has performed a retrospective observational study for period of 6 months (Dec 2019–June 2020) to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern on cultures of various specimens at Vivekanandha Medical Care Hospital. The resultant data were computed in Microsoft Excel. Analyses were expressed as the total number, frequencies, and percentage. Results: A total of 110 culture and sensitivity reports were collected from microbiology departments. Among the culture report, 84% accounted for gram-negative and 16% for Gram-positive organisms. Out of eight specimens, 15 different bacteria were identified and the most common bacteria were Klebsiella pneumonia (25%), E. coli (14%), Staphylococcus aureus (13%), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (12%). Conclusion: The interferences from the present study ...
