Abstract: AIM: To assess the incidence of Enterococcus species in post-operative local sepsis in the oral cavity. MATERIALS AND METHOD: In this study 75 patients who reported to the dental outpatient department over the period of 6 months. The samples were processed in the microbiology lab according to the standard protocol and organisms were isolated and identified. After identification of the organisms, the antibiotic profile for each organism isolated was found by performing AST by Kirbybauer’s method. BACKGROUND:Enterococci have emerged as an important cause of nosocomial infection. Successful antibiotic treatment againstenterococcal infection usually depends on the synergistic bactericidal effect achieved by the combination of a cell wall-active agent, such as ampicillin or amoxicillin, and amoxyclav. However, the prevalence of enterococci resistant to one or more of these antibiotics is increasing day by day which has resulted in serious therapeutic difficulties. The isolation of enterococcus and sensitivity pattern of the drugs was discussed. RESULT: Totally 75 samples were collected and processed out of which 37 samples showed positive bacterial culture. From these positive cultures 9 different species are isolated and enterococcus found to be in 15 samples. Comparing the sensitivity pattern for the most commonly prescribed antibiotics against Enterococcus species, we state that they are highly sensitive to amoxyclav followed by ampicillin and amoxicillin.
Keywords: Enterococcus, antibiotics, amoxicillin, ampicillin and amoxyclav.
