Extent and Resistance Patterns of ESKAPE Pathogens Isolated in Pus Swabs from Hospitalized Patients

Table 1

Sensitivity patterns of bacteria isolate in percentage. Carbapenem (imipenem/meropenem), β-lactam combination (piperacillin-tazobactam), cephalosporin (ceftazidime/cefotaxime or ceftriaxone for gram-positive bacteria), aminoglycoside (amikacin/kanamycin), Sulfonamides (cotrimoxazole), fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin), and penicillin. The resistant pattern includes an intermediate breakpoint according to CLSI 2019.
