Antimicrobial resistance profiles of bacteria from clinical specimens at Amhara Public Health Institute, Bahir Dar, Ethiopia: A retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Antimicrobial resistance is a major public health problem worldwide, particularly in developing countries. The effectiveness of currently available antimicrobial is decreasing due to the increasing prevalence of resistant strains among bacterial isolates. This study aims to determine the antimicrobial resistance profile of bacterial isolates from different clinical specimens at Amhara Public Health Institute.

Materials and methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted using data extracted from the WHONET 2024 database from July 1, 2022, to December 31, 2024, at the Amhara Public Health Institute bacteriology and mycology reference laboratory. The age range of the patients included in this study was 1-96 years, and the mean age of the patients was 33.44 ± 17.36 ye
