Antibiotic susceptibility profile of multidrug resistant ESKAPE pathogens isolated from clinical specimens in a tertiary care teaching hospital of central India:- an emerging challenge to clinician to efficiently use reserve drugs.

Abstract

A global threat to human health is posed by antimicrobial-resistant ESKAPE (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii complex, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species) infections. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility profile of multidrug resistant (MDR) ESKAPE pathogens.
