**3.3 Antimicrobial susceptibility profile**

From 28 Gram-positive bacteria isolated, 20 (71.4%) and 16 (57.1%) were susceptible to ceftriaxone and ofloxacin, respectively. Among 24 *S. aureus*, 22 (91.6%),21 (87.5%) and 20 (83.3%) were resistant to augmentin, erythromycin and gentamicin, respectively (**Table 4**). All *Streptococcus pneumoniae* isolates were susceptible to erythromycin (**Table 5**). Among 60 Gram-negative bacteria isolated, 50 (83.3%) and 55 (91.6%) were susceptible to ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin, respectively. Three-fourth (75%) of E. coli were susceptible to gentamicin (**Table 6**). 25/26 (96%), 2/4 (50%), 7/ 7 (100%) and 21/23 (91.3%) of *H. influenza*, *E. coli*, *K. pneumoniae* and *P. aeruginosa* were resistant to amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (augmentin) (**Tables 2**, **6**–**8**).
