Abstract, the results section

Erratum: Out of 1339 total samples collected, 237 positive cultures were obtained; the majority (60.4%) had urinary tract infection, 18.1% had sepsis, 9.3% had chest infection, 8.4% had spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP), 3.8% had other infections.

One hundred and ninety-nine(199) of the 237 isolates were multi drug resistant (MDR).Among them 72.4%  were gram negative organisms (GNO);Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase (ESBL)Ecoli and Klebsiella Sp. were 32.2%, and 83.3% of acinetobacter were MDR.

GNO represent 70.9% and Gram positive organisms (GPO)29.1% of isolated bacteria, GPO were 27.6% of total MDR organisms, mostlyStaphlycoccushaemolyticus followed by enterococcus fecalis and fecium. All isolated staphylococcus aureus are methicillin resistant and 25% of them are MDR. 

The correct statement is:

Out of 1339 total samples collected, 237 positive cultures were obtained; the majority (60.4%) had urinary tract infection, 18.1% had sepsis, 9.3% had chest infection and empyema, 8.4% had spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP), 3.8% had other infections.

Gram negative organisms (GNO) represented 70.9% and gram positive organisms (GPO) represented 29.1% of the isolated bacteria. Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase (ESBL) E. coli and Klebsiella Sp. were isolated in 32.2%, while 83.3% of Acinetobacter and 25% of Pseudomonas were multi drug resistant (MDR). All isolated Staphylococcus aureus were methicillin resistant and 21.4% of Enterococcus fecalis were vancomycin resistant (VR).

Erratum: Multi drugs resistant (MDR) is used to describe organism which is non-susceptible to at least one agent non-susceptible from three or more classes of the antibiotics.

The correct statement is: Multi drugs resistant (MDR) is used to describe organism which is non-susceptible to at least one agent from three or more classes of the antibiotics.

Erratum: Sepsis in the studied decompensated cirrhosis patients caused mainly by negative coagulase staphylococci 19/43 (44.2%)

The correct statement is: Sepsis in the studied decompensated cirrhosis patients caused mainly by negative coagulase staphylococci 25/43 (58.1%).
