Antimicrobial resistance is a national priority, and culture benches in teaching hospitals give MD Microbiology residents a ready supply of isolates. The sample titles profile Acinetobacter and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales in ICUs, compare early- and late-onset neonatal sepsis, characterise burn, wound and diabetic foot isolates, and link biofilm formation to resistance in device-associated infections.
A plain antibiogram study is now commonplace, so adding clinical outcome, a resistance mechanism or a phenotypic test raises the value of the work. Outcome studies such as mortality need clinical data collected alongside samples, which means working closely with ICU and ward teams. Separate true infection from colonisation and contamination with clear criteria. Molecular confirmation depends on kits and funding.

4Tips for a Bacteriology & Antimicrobial Resistance thesis
- Perform and interpret susceptibility testing by current CLSI or EUCAST guidelines, state the version used, and include standard quality control strains with each batch.
- Count only the first isolate per patient per episode, and define hospital-acquired and community-acquired infection clearly to avoid inflating resistance estimates.
- Use a recognised phenotypic test, such as the modified carbapenem inactivation method or microtitre plate biofilm assay, and confirm a subset by PCR if resources allow.
