To isolate common organisms from suspected cases of septicemia with their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern and know the prevalence of MDR strains by detecting MRSA isolates, ESBL, AmpC and Carbapenemase production. Blood samples were collected from suspected cases of septicemia and incubated in BacT/ALERT 3D. Subculture was done on Blood agar, nutrient Agar, MacConkey Agar and Chocolate Agar and identification was done by standard biochemical reactions. AST was done by Kirby Bauer Disc Diffusion method with MRSA, ESBL, AmpC and Carbapenemase producing isolates detected by using Cefoxitin, Ceftazidime and Ceftazidime + Clavulanic acid, Cefoxitin and Ceftriaxone and Modified Hodge Test respectively. Out of 300 samples, 24.66% were culture positive with Gram Negative Organisms being predominant [Klebsiella pneumoniae most common (29.72%) followed by E. coli] with highest resistance to Cefixime (91.67%), Cefoperazone + Sulbactam (83.33%). Coagulase Negative Staphylococcus (5.40%) was most common Gram Positive organism isolated which showed highest resistance to Ampicillin and Cefixime (75%). 18 were MDR strains with 16.21% ESBL producers, 6.71% Carbapenemase producers, 2.7% MRSA isolates. No AmpC producers were detected. Gram Negative Septicemia was more predominant with highest resistance to cefixime and sensitivity to Polymyxin B and Imipenem. 24.32% of total isolates were MDR strains. Continued Surveillance studies are needed for implementation of control measures to limit spread of MDR strains.
