Antibiotic sensitivity of pathogens and antibacterial therapy of patients with meningitis in the Republic of Dagestan
The aim of the work was to study the etiological structure of bacterial meningitis, as well as to determine the sensitivity of identified pathogens to antibiotics. In the bacteriological laboratory of the RCIB, 1113 samples of cerebrospinal fluid from patients with bacterial meningitis or patients with a suspected diagnosis were examined. The incidence of bacterial meningitis in the Republic of Dagestan (RD), according to the Republican Center for Infectious Diseases (RCID), has been increasing in recent years, exceeding the average for Russia. Bacteriological diagnostics revealed changes in the etiological structure of meningitis pathogens. Determination of the antibiotic sensitivity of the isolated microorganisms was carried out. The results of the conducted research will optimize the treatment of patients with bacterial meningitis and reduce the number of complications
