چکیده

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-sectional study from march 2005 to march 2006. blood samples were taken from these patients and transferred to culture medium. after detecting the type of microorganism, minimum density for inhibition of growth of microorganisms by antibiotics, using minimum inhibitors concentration (mic) method, was determined for ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, amikacin, ciprofloxacin, meropenem and cefepime. culture results of 38 patients were positive (38%). klebsiella (14 patients, 37%), coagulase negative staphylococcus (9 patients, 23.6%), pseudomonas and acinetobacter (each of them recovered in 6 patients, 15.8%), staphylococcus aureus (one patient, 2.6%) and gram positive bacilli (2 patients, 5.2%) were detected microorganism. only staphylococcus aureus was resistant to all studied antibiotics. gram-negative bacilli showed resistance to all antibiotics except for amikacin and meropenem. the rate of septicemia detected was higher in comparison to developed countries. clinical suspicion with appropriate microbiological tests is essential for early diagnosis to prevent adverse outcomes in patients admitted to icu.

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...

Addressing 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...

Determination of Noise Level and Its Sources in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Neonatal Ward

Background: In Neonatal intensive care units (NICU) different sound intensities and frequencies are produced from different sources, which may exert undesirable physiological effects on the infants. The aim of this study was to determine the noise level and its sources in the NICU and neonatal ward of Al-Zahra Hospital of Rasht, Iran. Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, the inte...
