Abstract
AbstractThe death rates of medical situations like bacterial meningitis are always quite high. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) culture is the most common and reliable test to confirm the diagnosis of bacterial meningitis. All CSF samples that were received in the microbiology lab between January 2017 and December 2021 were included in the study. The study removed all duplicate samples and samples from patients who had recently started taking antibiotics. During the course of the trial, 2000 CSF samples were received. Just 157 of these samples successfully tested positive for the presence of infections. The results of the current investigation showed that the typical pathogens associated with meningitis were not isolated from CSF samples in our method. In contrast, in our setups, highly resistant microorganisms were isolated from CSF. primarily from patients with ventriculoperitoneal shunts.
