Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance is a rising global public health threat. Knowledge on the circulating pathogens in a particular area and their antibiotic resistance profile is essential to direct clinicians on the rational antibiotic prescribing. The study was conducted to determine the microbial isolates and antibiotic susceptibility profiles of pathogens from a range of clinical samples in a tertiary hospital in Edo Central senatorial district in Edo state, Nigeria. Methods: The study was a retrospective analysis of microbiological isolates from clinical specimens collected between January 2016 and December 2019, using standard techniques from out-patient clinic attendees. Chi-square test was used to compare the association of type of bacterial isolates with patients’ sex, with the level of significance p se.. Read More»
