چکیده

background bacterial meningitis is still considered as one of the most dangerous infectious diseases, which causes numerous complications and high mortality if not diagnosed and treated timely. objectives this study was performed to determine antimicrobial resistance patterns of bacterial pathogens isolated from acute bacterial meningitis at tabriz children educational-health care center in iran. patients and methods in a retrospective study (from 2003 through 2013), all patients with bacterial meningitis were identified by cerebrospinal fluids with positive results in culture (107 cases). patients' necessary data was recorded in a questionnaire. furthermore, the results of simultaneous blood culture were also examined. ultimately, antimicrobial susceptibility of isolates was determined using the disc diffusion method. results one hundred and seven patients with bacterial meningitis were identified by cerebrospinal fluids with positive results in culture. all of patients (100%) had fever (male/female = 1.27/1). the most prevalent pathogens isolated from csf culture were streptococcus pneumoniae (34.5%), haemophilus influenzae type b (23.36%), neisseria meningitidis (6.54%), serratia spp. (6.54%), and klebsiella pneumoniae (5.6%), respectively. moreover, the patients' blood culture had positive results in 36.44% of cases with h. influenzae type b (20.65%) and s. pneumoniae (6.54%) as the main bacteria isolated from blood. meningitis occurred mostly in children under two years (p = 0.001). according to antimicrobial susceptibility test, a relatively high resistance was reported against some conventional cephalosporins and other antibiotics. conclusions s. pneumoniae and h. influenzae type b were the main pathogens of bacterial meningitis in children in the area under study. most species had relatively high resistance to conventional antibiotics as compared to the past.
