1 J. Commun. Dis. 45(3&4) 2013 : Proteus Infections in North Indian Tertiary Care Hospital Singhal Ritu,* Mohanty Srujana,** Sood Seema,*** Dhawan Benu,*** Das Bimal Kumar,*** Kapil Arti*** (Received for publication Dec 2012) Abstract Present prospective study was carried out to study the isolation and susceptibility pattern of tribe Proteus from different clinical samples. Demographic data, relevant clinical details & antimicrobial resistance were noted for all patients having infection due to tribe Proteus during Jan-Dec Antimicrobial susceptibility was performed by discdiffusion method according to CLSI guidelines. Proteus isolated were Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris, Proteus penneri, Providencia rettgeri, Providencia stuartii and Morganella morganii in 47 (47.9%), 35 (35.7%), 2 (2%), 7 (7.1%), (6.1%) and 1 (1%) patients respectively. Commonest sample of isolation was urogenital tract (38 ) followed by respiratory tract (27), pus (19), blood cultures (8) and sterile body fluids (6). Infection was nosocomialy acquired in 79 (80.6%) cases whereas 19 (19.4%) were community-acquired. Seventy nine patients had underlying illnesses. P. mirabilis was most multi-drug resistant species (51.1%) with 72.3% of isolates producing beta lactamases. Proteus was found to be most sensitive to piperacillin-tazobactum (96.9%). The study highlights the increasing drug resistance among Proteus in India especially among patients with underlying diseases. It necessitates the need for continuous surveillance of infections due to Proteus and practice of good hospital infection control procedures. Key words : Proteus, infection, antimicrobial resistance, nosocomial * Deptt of Microbiology, National Institute of Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases, Aurobindo Marg, New Delhi ** Deptt of Microbiology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhuvaneshwar, Odisha, India *** Deptt of Microbiology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Ansari Nagar, New Delhi , India Correspondence to : Dr Arti Kapil, Professor, Dept. of Microbiology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi Phone : (O) , ext. 4237, Fax: ritugo@hotmail.com
