Adhavan. I, Dr. P. A. T. Jagadeeshwari
Abstract :
Introduction:– The Gram stain is a bacteriological laboratory technique used to differentiate between gram positive and gram negative bacteria. The most important primary test performed directly on clinical specimen is gram staining. Aims and Objective:– To correlate the gram stain findings with the bacteria isolated from the sputum samples obtained from patients Materials required:– This is a retrospective study conducted for a period of 6 months (June 2018 and December 2018) at Department of Microbiology in Saveetha Medical College and Hospital, Chennai. Results:– The sputum collected from 109 patients from different departments was sent to the microbiology laboratory and following data has been arrived. Conclusion:– 1. Most common bacterial isolate from sputum was Pseudomonas aeruginosa. 2. The presence of pus cells between 10 to 25 had a better correlation than that of pus cells less than 10. 3. The epithelial cells had an inverse correlation with isolation of pathogen.
