Abstract

Background and objective: Irregular use of antibiotics has led to microbial resistance in such a way that their arbitrary use has increased microbial resistance and ultimately caused us to need new and stronger antibiotics. The problem with these new antibiotics is their "very high cost and devastating" nature. Today, items such as antibiotics and imported foods and their effects on health and the improper use of antibiotics and their harm have been neglected. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of antibiotic resistance among gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria in Herat city.

Methods: This case study retrospectively collected 2464 samples previously prepared by Herat laboratories from 15 Jul 2020 to 15 May 2021.

Results: The highest resistance against staphylococci was the highest resistance against furazolidion (100.0%) and the lowest resistance against rifampicin (27.4%).

Conclusion: Antibiotic resistance against gram-positive bacteria such as staphylococci was high and against gram-negative bacteria was low. However, according to antibiogram results in different geographical regions, the use of regional antibiotic resistance patterns is essential in patients’ treatment.
