Tuberculosis (TB) is a potentially serious infectious disease infections began increasing in 1985, partly because of the emergence of HIV. India is the highest TB burden country with World Health Organisation (WHO) statistics for 2011 giving an estimated incidence figure of 2.2 million cases of TB for India out of a global incidence of 8.0 million cases. Secondary bacterial infection is one of the most important complications in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. So it become important to study about secondary infection associated with tuberculosis. In our study we tried to isolate Bacterial pathogens causing secondary Bacterial infection in patients suffering from tuberculosis. In duration of 3 months, w.e.f February to April 2015 the total number of 50 positive sputum samples examined for secondary infection where Staphylococcus aureus is the most common pathogen isolated which constitute around 32% while Klebsiella pneumonia constitute the least with just $% .After isolation we have studied about drug sensitivity of these pathogens by disc diffusion method and found all 8 isolates of Moraxella catarahallis are resistant against ciprofloxacin. 3 isolate among the 16 isolates of Staphylococcus aureusis resistant against erythromycin and oxacillin..Most of isolated gram negative bacilli was resistant against Amikacine, Ampicillin,Ciprofloxacin.All the isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was resistant against Amikacine, Ciprofloxacin.
