Article Synopsis
- Background: Sterile body fluids should be free of microbes, but bacterial presence can cause serious infections, making quick detection and identification of pathogens vital for patient recovery.
- Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of bacterial infections in various sterile body fluids from hospitalized patients, focusing on understanding antimicrobial resistance and identifying specific beta-lactamase producers among bacterial isolates.
- Results: In the study, 180 sterile fluid samples were tested, with 17.77% being culture-positive, predominantly isolating gram-negative bacteria, which showed a high resistance to certain antibiotics like cefoperazone-sulbactam while exhibiting sensitivity to gentamicin and fosfomycin. *
