Isolation And Identification Of Pathogenic Bacteria From Sputum Samples Of Patients Attending Out Patient Clinic In A Specialist Hospital In Umuahia
ABSTRACT
This study was
to evaluate the prevalence of Moraxella catarrhalis isolated in sputum
specimen, its antibiogram and the beta lactamase production.Sputum specimen
collected from Abia specialist hospital Amachara were screened for Moraxella
caiarrhalis. A total of 80 sputum specimen were processed among this the ratio
of male to female is 7:9. Moraxella catarrhalis was isolated from 5(6.25%) of
the sputum specimens. Three out of 5(60%) were isolated from patient aged 50+,
2(40%) were isolated from immunocompromised patient. All isolate were beta
lactamase producer. 100% resistance was seen in septrin, ampicillin and
penicillin, while 100% sensitivity was seen in gentamicin. An assessment of the
pathogenic significance of Moraxella catarrhalis isolated in good quality
sputum must not be overlooked and its beta lactamase production should be
tested on all isolates so that appropriate treatment can be given as it is seen
that the organism is resistance to betalactam drugs and some commonly used
antibiotics such as septrin.
