Introduction: Resistance to antibiotics is an extremely common phenomenon in bacteria isolated from clinical material.

However there is scarcity of data on antibiotic resistance from North Eastern part of India. In this Study, we aimed to

generate data to nd out the trend of Antibiotic resistance among the clinical isolates. Methods: Involving both indoor and outdoor patients

attending this hospital are included in this study. Culture & Microbial sensitivity were performed by ‘Kirby Bauer‘ method and an according to

current CLSI guidelines. Drug resistance pattern were analyzed among the Common clinical isolates. Results: Majority of isolated organisms

were klebsiella sp and Staphylococcus sp . Cephalosporins resistance (99%) was more in Gram negative bacilli as compare to Fluroquinolones

among Gram positive cocci (85%). Conclusion: This pilot study from a Medical College of North East has demonstrated very high levels of

resistance to commonly used antibiotics and generated data can be used to formulate antibiotic use protocols in the state.
