Antimicrobial Resistance Pattern of Acinetobacter baumannii Strains Isolated from Intensive Care Unit Patients
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives: Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen that affects different groups of people, especially intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The prevalence of infections caused by this bacterium is very high. Today, prevalence of infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extreme-drug resistant (XDR) strains is increasing. This study aime...
متن کاملPrevalence of Microorganisms Causing Septicemia and Determination of Antimicrobial Resistance in Intensive Care Unit
The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of microorganisms isolated from blood samples of patients admitted to Intensive Care Unit (ICU), and the rate of their resistance to common administered antibiotics in an Iranian ICU. One-hundred patients with Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndromes (SIRS), hospitalized in ICU of Sina Hospital, Tehran, Iran, were entered to this cross-...

متن کاملIntegron-Mediated Antibiotic Resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii Isolated from Intensive Care Unit Patients, Babol, North of Iran
BACKGROUND We investigated the integron types and their relation with antibiotic resistance among A. baumannii isolates collected from intensive care unit patients, Babol, north of Iran. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, a total of 73 bronchoalveolar lavage samples were obtained from patients in ICU. Susceptibility testing was performed by disk diffusion method. Types of integrons were i...
متن کاملAddressing Antimicrobial Resistance in the Intensive Care Unit*
Two of the more common strategies for optimizing antimicrobial therapy in the intensive care unit (ICU) are antibiotic cycling and de-escalation. Antibiotic cycling involves scheduled replacement of 1 or more antibiotics with another for a period of time, in order to avoid the development or control the rate of bacterial resistance. The data to support antibiotic cycling are sparse; its practic...
