Pattern of antibiotic resistance in nosocomial infections with Gram-negative bacilli in ICU patients (Tehran, Iran) during the years 2012-2014
Authors
Abstract:
Background and Objective: Owing to the new patterns of antibiotic resistance, selection of the appropriate antibiotics for the treatment of nosocomial infections, especially gram-negative bacilli, has become a big challenge. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the antibiotic resistance of nosocomial infections with Gram-negative bacilli in Iran during the years 2012-2014. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, samples of the culture of patients with nosocomial infections in various departments of the Shahid Mostafa Khomeini hospital of Tehran were studied over a three-year period. Information on the culture-positive blood, urine, sputum, and exudates in terms of the presence of the most common nosocomial aerobic Gram-negative bacilli (Acinetobacter baumannii, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumoniae), the type of consumed antibiotics, and an antibiotic susceptibility test was extracted from patient records and recorded in the information forms. Results: The percentage of P. aeruginosa resistance has increased during the study period as compared to the colistin, meropenem, imipenem, gentamicin, and ceftazidime antibiotics. A. baumannii and E. coli bacteria showed the highest resistance, while the maximum susceptibility was observed in this period to ampicillin and colistin. The high resistance of K. pneumoniae was also observed to cefotaxime and ampicillin, but this bacterium had a high susceptibility to colistin and meropenem. Conclusion: The results obtained from the antibiotic resistance of the studied bacteria during the three years of the study demonstrates the increasing prevalence of the resistance of Gram-negative bacteria to common and available antibiotics. This could become a major clinical crisis in the near future.

Antibiotic Resistance Pattern of Bacteria Causing Urinary Tract Infections in Children of Fasa During the years 2012 and 2014
Background & Objectives: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is one of the most prevalent bacterial infection in children. Awareness of the antibiotic resistance of common bacteria causing UTI in each area has a large impact on infection improvement. The objective of this study is to evaluate the antibiotic resistance of bacteria causing UTI in two to 15 years old children referring to Fasa Vali-e-A...

Abstract Background and Objective: The excessive use of broad-spectrum antibiotics will lead to drug resistance of microorganism and specially nosocomial organisms. Because of high incidence of antibiotic resistance in hospitals, we aimed to study antibiotic resistance to gram negative bacteria. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on the data of biological sampl...

Background and Objectives: Non-fementer gram-negative bacilli (NFGB) are ubiquitous pathogen that has emerged as a major cause of health care associated infections. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of NFGB in an Iranian hospital. Materials and Methods: FromJuly 2005 to November 2006 a total of 257 strains of NFGB including 109 (42.41%)...

In a period of nine months, 225 strains of Gram-negative bacilli isolated from burns were identified by a variety of tests in two burn centers in Tehran. The most common species were Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter agglomerans, Enterobacter cloacae and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Many strains of acinetobacter spp, providencia spp, proteus spp, ser...
