Overview

Observational study reveals high antibiotic resistance in bacterial clinical isolates, indicating urgent need for better stewardship practices.

Key Points

  • Antibiotic resistance was observed in more than one antibiotic among clinical isolates.
  • Out of 202 bacterial isolates, 86 were from urine specimens, with E. coli identified in 76 samples.
  • A cross-sectional study in Nepal tested 1730 antibiotics, revealing high resistance rates, particularly for ampicillin.
  • Findings underscore the importance of antibiotic stewardship to combat growing resistance trends.
