Abstract: Background: Intra abdominal pathologies requiring surgical intervention include appendicitis , malignancies, trauma ,perforation peritonitis etc. The most common organism isolated at the time of surgery was E. coli.We studied the spectrum of microbes at the time of laparotomy/laparoscopy to help us to know the emerging trends in microbiological spectrum and the sensitivity pattern in this medical college hospital. Objective: To study the microbial spectrum and sensitivity pattern in patients with intra abdominal pathology requiring surgical interventions.
