ISOLATION, IDENTIFICATION AND ANTIBIOTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY TESTING OF MICROORGANISMS FROM FEMALE PATIENTS OF AYUB MEDICAL COMPLEX THROUGH HIGH VAGINAL SWAB

In the current study High Vaginal Swab (HVS) samples were collected from indoor and outdoor female patients of Ayub Medical Complex (AMC) Abbottabad. A total of 113 isolates were processed by standard microbiological technique by using MacConkey's agar and incubated at 37 o C. Overall, 73 (66%) of the isolates were positive and 40 (34%) were negative. Isolates were identified by microscopy and gram staining, four bacterial species were observed that were Staphylococcus (60%), Streptococcus (34%), Escherichia coli (4%), and Lactobacilli (2%).The antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by disk diffusion method and plates were incubated at 37 o C for 18-24hours. 13 different antibiotics discs were used that were, Amikacin (AK), Ampicillin (AMP), Vincomycin (VIN), Amoxicillin (AML), Cefoprazone (CEFO), Oflaxacin (OFL), Sparfloxacin (SPAR), Ciproflaxin (CIP), Gentamycin (CN), Doxycycline (DOX), Erythromycin (AZT), Cefotaxime (CTX) and Cephradin (V/CA). After 24hours zones were measured in mm and interpretation of zone was used in accordance with National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standard criteria (NCCLS) guidelines. According to observation Staphylococcus was highly susceptible to erythromycin, Lactobacilli was highly susceptible to Gentamycin while Streptococcus and E. coli were highly susceptible to Amikacin. Further studies are needed to identify those bacterial species which are involve in Vaginal infections and to determine the susceptibility of those species to newly introduced antibiotics.
