To isolate common organisms from suspected cases of septicemia with their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern and know the prevalence of MDR strains by detecting MRSA isolates, ESBL, AmpC and Carbapenemase production. Blood samples were collected from suspected cases of septicemia and incubated in BacT/ALERT 3D. Subculture was done on Blood agar, nutrient Agar, MacConkey Agar and Chocolate Agar and identification was done by standard biochemical reactions. AST was done by Kirby Bauer Disc Diffusion method with MRSA, ESBL, AmpC and Carbapenemase producing isolates detected by using Cefoxitin, Ceftazidime and Ceftazidime + Clavulanic acid, Cefoxitin and Ceftriaxone and Modified Hodge Test respectively. | Common isolates among suspected cases of septicemia with a special emphasis on multidrug resistant strains
