Abstract

Aims: This study was possible to identify factors associated with the severity of different pathogens and duration of hospitalization in diarrheal patients from stool depending and find the difference in the socio-economical background of their families.

Study Design: Samples were collected from 60 hospitalized patients in Upazila Health Complex; Munshigonj, Bangladesh who were infected by diarrhoea from 2013. The study population included infants, young children and adults

Methods: Stool samples were collected from the patient’s in clear, transparent, wide mouthed bottles. Information was also obtained from each patient regarding age, sex, feeding patterns, and maternal education. The study was conducted in Centre for Excellence Laboratory (CEL) Department of Microbiology, Primeasia University, Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Results: A total of 60 samples were collected of which 50% was positive isolates. Among these isolates Salmonella was detected in 40% and E. coli in 30% of the positives. The antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed that the Salmonella sp. were highly sensitive (90%) to Ceftriaxone, moderately sensitive to Ciprofloxacin; Salmonella and E. coli strains showed 100% resistance towards Cotrimoxazole, Ampicillin, Tetracycline and Nalidixic acid.

Conclusion: To addresses this issue, antibiotic therapy should be taken into consideration along with the pathogen. In addition, the incidence of pathogens in human can be traced primarily to faulty weaning practices and poor personal hygiene.
