Abstract In the present study, 252 different clinical strains were isolated and identified from 621 patients suffering from different infections. Out of the 621 patients, 183 were suffering from urinary tract infections, 66 were suffering from gastrointestinal tract infections, 315 were suffering from respiratory tract infections and 57 were suffering from skin infections. The study revealed that, in patients of age group ranging from 1-20 years, E.coli was the most prevalent organism (22.62%), followed by Klebsiella oxytoca (14.29%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (11.9%). In age group ranging from 21-40 years, E.coli was the most common organism (20.29%), followed by Klebsiella oxytoca (14.49%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (13.04%). In age group ranging from 41-60 years, Klebsiella pneumoniae was the most frequent organism (11.43%), followed by E.coli (5.71%), Klebsiella oxytoca (2.86%) and Citrobacter freundii (2.86%). In patients of age group more than 60 years, Klebsiella pneumoniae was the most prevalent organism. Also, Klebsiella pneumoniae was the most common organism in males (13.33%) followed by E.coli (10.83%), Klebsiella oxytoca (6.67%) and Citrobacter freundii (0.83%). While, E.coli was the most common organism in famales (25.29%) followed by Klebsiella oxytoca (17.2%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (10.34%). |
