Abstract
In the present study of sphinogomonos paucimobilis a new pathogen was studied in 114 patients (65 males) and (49 females) of different age group admitted at ICU. Various specimens like Blood 18(27.6%) in males, 8(16.3%) in females. pus 12(18.4%) in males, 11(22.4%) in females was observed. CSF 8(12.3%) in males, 4(8.16%) in females, urine 3(4.6%) in males, 7(14.2%) in females, pleural fluid 6(9.2%) in male 3(6.1%) in females, sputum 3(4.6%), in males, 1(2%) in females synovial fluid 1(1.5%) in male 3(6.1%) in females, vitreous tap 3(4.6%) in males 2(4%) in males, 1(2%) in females, Endotracheal tube (ET) secretion 2(3%) in males, 1(2%) in females, stool 1(1.5%) in male, 2(4%) in female BAL fluid 3(4.6%) in male 2(4%) in fluid, pericardia fluid 1(1.5%) in males, semen 2(3%) in males, wound swab 2(3%) in males, 3(6.1%) in females, Conjunctival swab 2(3%) in males, 1(2%) in females was observed. Isolation of this bacterium was identified by using VITEK 2 an automated instrument for ID & AST testing. This sphingomonas paucimobilis was found in all examination because it is an aerobic, oxidase positive, catalase positive, motile Gram negative bacilli found in soil & water hence referred as an opportunistic pathogen(1) commonly causes nosocomial infection and this study of various specimen quite useful to microbiologist and clinician to decide the proper antibiotic to cure the patients at the earliest.
