Table 2. Antibiotic resistance patterns of key pathogens.

Each bacterial isolate was tested against multiple antibiotics. Therefore, resistance counts across different antibiotics are not mutually exclusive, and a single isolate may be resistant to more than one antibiotic. As a result, the total number of resistant cases for a pathogen may exceed the number of isolates

MRSA: methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Pathogen (n) Antibiotic Resistant (n) Resistant (%)
E. coli (n = 216) Ciprofloxacin 169 78.24

Imipenem 14 6.48
S. aureus (n = 104) Oxacillin (MRSA marker) 67 64.42
Clindamycin 49 47.12
Vancomycin 3 2.88
K. pneumoniae (n = 81) Cefotaxime 53 65.43
