Dr Grishma Vijaykumar Kulkarni, is working as Assistant Professor in Microbiology department at Deccan college of medical sciences (DCMS/OHRC) Hyderabad, situated in Telangana state, India. I am very much interested in academics and I taught technicians, nurses, postgraduate and DNB students including NRI students and continuing the same activity very enthusiastically till now. I had guided five MSc students as post graduate guide on topic titled “Occurrence of VAP in intubated patients at Medicover tertiary care hospital, Hyderabad.
Equivalently, I do look after clinical microbiology lab reports and do suggest the right antibiotic therapy, especially for nonresponding medical conditions and thus helps in better survival of the patients and hence I admire my subject with great reverence.
I had delivered speeches as state guest speaker on Urichrome II: New Chromogenic medium for urine, Disinfection and sterilization of instruments and as national speaker on “Role of Flash sterilization in operation theatre” and as international speaker on “Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae.”
To date, total 7 scientific papers in national and 3 in international journals are published. Out of them, research article entitled “’Susceptibility of the deviants published in Journal of Microbiology and Experimentation (.2019;7(6):306-308.) was as praised by lot by the editorial team as the article deserves its place on the JMEN's bookshelf. This articles states about the testing of unrecommended antibiotics against bacterial isolates and compliance of the patients to the forbidden antibiotics by CLSI guidelines.
