The effectiveness of currently available antimicrobial is decreasing due to the increasing prevalence of resistant strains among bacterial isolates.

The age range of the patients included in this study was 1\u201396 years, and the mean age of the patients was 33.44\u2009\u00b1\u200917.36 years. The data included demographic characteristics of patients, types of bacterial isolates and antimicrobial resistance profiles, which were analyzed using SPSS version 20 statistical software. The descriptive statistics were displayed as percentages and frequencies. The chi-square test was used to determine the prevalence of bacterial isolates from patients by age and sex. P-values below 0.05 were seen as a sign of a statistically significant difference.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 1165 specimens were processed, resulting in a culture-positive rate of 41% (478\/1165) for bacterial pathogens isolated from clinical specimens.
