Antimicrobial Resistance of Klebsiella Pneumoniae Strains from Patients with Urinary Tract Infections in Sbmpmc Hospital Bijapur, India

چکیده
The resistance profile of the Klebsiella pneumoniae were left undone despite the increasing prevalence rate of this organism in urinary tract infections (UTI) and its role in antibiotic resistance. The current study was undertaken to know the antibiotic sensitivity profile of Klebsiella pneumoniae, isolated from patients suffering from UTI in our medical college. The study was carried out over a period of 3 years from January 2010 to December 2012. Urine specimens from both outpatients and inpatients of our hospital were processed. Females were more frequently affected than males. (P>0.05 ) The most active antimicrobial agent against K. pneumoniae were piperacillintazobactum (72% sensitive), and amikacin (61%). One hundred and fifty two (97.4%) of all the isolates were multi-drug resistant. To conclude, this study stresses the importance of prior knowledge of the sensitivity pattern of the pathogen , before prescribing an antimicrobial agent for a meaningful therapy and to avoid fast emergence of resistant mutants.

Background: The urinary tract infection is the secondary most common human infection. Colon bacteria, including Klebsiella pneumonia, are the main cause of urinary tract infections. The occurrence of the antibiotic resistance is a major problem in the treatment of infections. Beta- lactamases and efflux pumps constitute the major defense mechanisms of antibiotic resistance of Klebsiella pneumon...

Background and Objectives: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the presence of pathogens in the urinary tract. Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae are the most common bacteria responsible for UTI. Due to the variety of antibiotic resistance mechanisms, treatment of these infections has been difficult, therefore, selection of appropriate antibiotic has an effective role in controlling and im...

Abstract Background and Objective: Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic nosocomial pathogen causing a variety of infections including urinary tract infections, pneumonia, septicemia, wound infections and infections in the intensive care units. Since the ESBL producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains are increasingly causing urinary tract infections, we aim to assess antibiotic resistance pat...

Abstract Introduction: Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen that causes urinary tract Infection (UTI), intra-abdominal infection and pneumonia in patients with weakened immune systems or underlying diseases. Several studies have shown that the indiscriminate and irregular use of antibiotics can cause antibiotic resistance. Antimicrobial resistance has been introduced as one of ...

Background: Klebsiella species are common causes of nosocomial, ulcers, blood and urinary tract infections, and also acquired pneumonia from the hospital and various intra-abdominal infections. Bacterial resistance mechanisms against antibiotics are different, but one of these resistance mechanisms, which is very problematic, is the production of β-lactamase enzymes in bacteria. The aim of this...
