Major bacterial isolate and antibiotic resistance from routine clinical samples in Southern Ethiopia

Abstract Currently, antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections are a challenge for the health care system. Although physicians demand timely drug resistance data to guide empirical treatment, local data is rather scarce. Hence, this study performed a retrospective analysis of microbiological findings...
