A Study On Pattern Of Antimicrobial resistance in Clinical Isolates Of Acinetobacter Spp at a Tertiary Care Hospital
نویسنده
چکیده
Acinetobacter. baumannii has emerged as an important, opportunistic pathogen and is involved in various nosocomial infections,especially in intensive care units (ICUs). Its clinical significance is due to the ability to easily acquire resistance genes from the environment, making it one of the organisms threatening the currently available therapeutic panel of antimicrobials [1]. Patients with Acinetobacter colonization often have a history of prolonged hospitalization or antimicrobial therapy, particularly in those who are intubated and have recent surgery and invasive procedures [2].

Introduction: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is intrinsically resistant to many antimicrobials. Like Pseudomonas spp., this bacterium has a remarkable ability to cause infections, particularly in the respiratory and urinary tracts. This study aims to determine the antimicrobial resistance pattern of S. maltophilia isolates collected from a tertiary care setting and frequency of multi, extensively...

Introduction: Acinetobacter species are important opportunistic pathogens, widely spread in hospitals' environment and responsible for different health care associated infections. Because of its ability to rapidly develop resistance to the major groups of antibiotics, treatment of Acinetobacter infections is difficult and antibiotic susceptibility tests can help in choosing the best antibiotics...

Pathogenic bacteria have increasingly been resisting to antimicrobial therapy. Recently, resistance problem has been relatively much worsened in Gram-negative bacilli. Acinetobacter spp. are typical nosocomial pathogens causing infections and high mortality, almost exclusively in compromised hospital patients. Acinetobacter spp. are intrinsically less susceptible to antibiotics than Enterobacte...
