Microbiological Assessment of Gram Negative Bacterial Isolates fromEar, Eye, Nose and Throat among Patients Attending AreshoAdvanced Medical Laboratory, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

摘要

ENT samples from patients who referred to Arsho Advanced Medical Laboratory were isolated forfurther microbiological assessment. About 91 from both male and female patients comprising 42 ear, 21 nasal,1eye and 27 throat swab, respectively were screened between April-2017-July-2017 and the samples wereanalyzed using culture technique, direct microscopy and identification of bacteria (Vtek 2 compact). Findingfrom the study identified 12 species of bacteria, i.e., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus mirabilis, Kelebsiellaoxytoca, Entrobacter cloacae, Citrobacter koseri, Citrobacter pauclus, Pseudomonas fulorescens, Klebsiella ,pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumanii, E. coli , Lecletciaa decarboxylate and Proteus vulgaris. Proteusmirabilis recorded the highest rates (30%) followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (20%) which was isolated inear and nose swabs while the least were recorded on Citrobacter koseri, Citrobacter pauclus, Pseudomonasfulorescens, Proteus vulgaris, Acinetobacter baumanii, E. coli , Lecletciaa decarboxylate, Klebsiellapneumonia (3.3%).
