| Dissertation note | Diarrheal disease is one of the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children in underdeveloped countries. In the present study 140 stool samples, were collected from cases of children diarrhea and 120 (85.71 %) samples showed bacterial growth. From these culture positive samples, bacterial pathogens were isolated and identified as per standard protocols described in Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology. Out of 120 stool samples, 163 bacterial isolates were obtained as Escherichia coli 113 (69.3%), Salmonella enterica 42 (25.8%) and Shigella species 8 (4.9%). From a total of 113 E. coli isolates, 48 (42.5%) were identified as invasive E. coli and 65 (57.5%) were non-invasive on the basis of binding with the Congo Red dye of the Medium. Age-wise prevalence of isolates was also analysed as bacterial pathogens were found more in age group 1 month to 4 years (95.7%), followed by the least isolated from age group 5 to 8 years (1.84%) and age group 9 to 12 years (2.4%). Antimicrobial sensitivity profile, was studied by standard Disk diffusion method (Kirby Bauer) for commonly used antibiotics, showed that all bacterial isolates were more sensitive to antibiotics amikacin, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, imipenem, tazocin and less sensitive to cephradine, doxycycline, tetracycline and augmentin. The present study findings showed that although there are a number of causative agents like viruses, bacteria and parasites of diarrheal disease, bacteria still remain one of the major cause with E. coli, Salmonella and Shigella being more important bacterial pathogens among pediatric diarrheal patients in the selected study of four different public sector hospitals in Lahore District. |
