چکیده
The study was carried out to isolate and identify the common bacteria causing Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) among patients attending NIMS Medical College & Hospital, Jaipur between June to October 2015. This study finally carried out the cultural characterization, biochemical test and antibiotic susceptibility testing of the isolated pathogenic bacteria’s. Fourty six (46) bacterial pathogens were isolates from 173 sputum specimens. Klebsiella pneumoniae has highest percentage of occurrence (26.2%), followed by Streptococcus pneumoniae (21.7%), Escherichia coli (19.5%) and Staphylococcus aureus (19.5%) respectively. Other organism included Pseudomonas aeruginosa (13.0%) as well. Male patients 27 (58.6%) has highest percentage of infection than Female patients 19 (41.3%). Antimicrobial susceptibility testing by Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method and result interpreted according to CLSI guidelines.
