چکیده
Seventyone blood cultures were taken from suspected cases of infective endocarditis. The positive cultures were isolated for study of their antibiotic susceptibility patterns. Gentamycin was found to be the most effective. Cloxacillin, chloramphenicol, Vibramycin, Tetracyclin, Erythromycin were next in order. The incidence of bacteria probably susceptible to high dose schedules and those demonstrating complete resistance was also determined (JPMA 33:129, 1983).

Antibiotic resistance pattern of bacterial agents isolated from blood culture of patients with infective endocarditis
Background: Infective endocarditis occurs due to the presence of microorganisms in the endocardium or the heart valves. Nowadays, infective endocarditis is still a major cause of death with an incidence rate of 5 to 7.9 per 100,000 populations. The aim of the study was to determine antibiotic resistance pattern of bacterial agents isolated from blood culture of patients with infective endocardi...
