Bacterial Resistance Pattern to Cephalosporin in Patient with Chronic Osteomyelitis at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung

Abstract

Background: Chronic osteomyelitis remains difficult to treat and has a high rate of relapse after apparently succesful treatment. Cephalosporin has been greatly used for the antibiotic intervention for patient with osteomyelitis. The objective of this study was to explore bacterial profile and its microbial resistance pattern of each generation of cephalosporin from patients with chronic osteomyelitis at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital.
