SECONDARY INFECTION IN ACNE - BACTERIAL CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY PROFILE
Kaveri Sinha
Abstract :
Introduction:Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disorder of Pilosebaceous follicle. Aims: To determine antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of different organisms to frequently used drugs. Materials and methods: A hospital based study of 100 patients (41 males and 59 females) in private hospital inDavangere between April 2018 and June 2018, samples were taken from pustular and nodulocystic lesions. Results: Among 100 cases, Staphylococci was most prevalent organism seen in 72% of casesand Klebsiella(1%) were the least prevalent. No growth was seen in 20% of cases. Among topical agents organisms were found to be highly sensitive to Mupirocin(80%) and fusidic acid(60%) and resistant to Clindamycin(55%) and framycetin(60%). Among systemic agents,organisms were found to be highly sensitive to Doxycycline(67%) and highly resistant to Penicillin(92%). Conclusion: Clindamycin and Azithromycin are most commonly prescribed drugs for acne treatment but in this study we have found many cases showing resistance to above two drugs. Knowledge of causative organism and antibiotic susceptibility pattern is essential to give proper antibiotic therapy and avoid resistance to ineffective drugs.
