The present study aims in contributing data toward the need for broad and judicious use of antibiotics to curtail and effectively treat the emerging trends of multi drug resistant strains of infection and in successful treatment of pyogenic infection. The present study will certainly help clinicians in the planning and management of pyogenic infections, both surgical and otherwise. Samples and swabs were taken from 500 patients admitted in our institute under the Intensive care units and the general wards limiting the age group of study to adults between 18 - 60 years of age. The organism preponderance, growth pattern were noted. Among 500 samples collected 94 were found to contain gram positive organisms and 369 samples were found to be positive for Gram negative organisms respectively. Among the gram positive organisms Staphylococcus aureus was found to have a higher level of incidence, with Pseudomonas aeruginosa being highest among gram negative organisms. Among the Gram positive organisms highest susceptibility was shown against Linezolid, Vancomycin and Amikacin. Among Gram Negative organism’s highest susceptibility was against imipenem, Amikacin and Piperacillin / tazobactam.
