Most of the <em>Staphylococcus species</em> showed a wide resistance to erythromycin followed by ceftrioxazone and many<em> Enterococcus species</em> shows resistance to penicillin, erythromycin, ciprofloxacin.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The high level aminoglycoside resistant (HLAR) gram positive organisms showed susceptibility to few drugs that are prevalent in various clinical samples. Surveillance of antimicrobial resistance and sensitivity is essential in managing and control of infection.</p> ER -
