ABSTRACT ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE OF NON - FERMENTABLE GRAM - NEGATIVE BACTERIA CAUSING PNEUMONIA IN PATIENTS WITH MECHANICALLY VENTILATION Background: Ventilator - associated pneumonia is a very common nosocomial infection in the intensive care unit. Many bacteria cause ventilator - associated pneumonia, in which non - fermentative Gram - negative bacteria such as Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, etc., are the leading pathogens and have high antibiotic resistance. Methods: A cross sectional descriptive study was conducted on non - fermentative bacteria strains causing ventilator - associated pneumonia which were isolated at the Surgical Intensive Care Unit Department of Nghe An General Friendship Hospital from January 2020 to June 2021. Results: A total of 120 strains of non - fermenting Gram - negative bacteria were isolated. Of these, 85 strains were Acinetobacter baumannii, 31 strains was Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Acinetobacter baumannii has a resistance rate of more than 70% with all tested antibiotics, of which the highest resistance is to Ceftriaxone 96.9%. Pseudomonas aeriginosa was resistant to all tested antibiotics, with the highest resistance to Gentamycin80.0%, the lowest resistance to Piperacillin/Tazobactam 32.3%. Conclusion: Non - fermentative bacteria are the main pathogens of ventilator - associated pneumonia. The most common pathogens were Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These bacteria were highly resistant to the tested antibiotics. In which, A. baumannii resisted over 70% of the tested antibiotics, and P. aeruginosa resisted all tested antibiotics with varying degrees from 32.3 to 80.0%.

Objective.To quantify the association between admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) room most recently occupied by a patient positive for extended-spectrumβ-lactamase (EBSL)-producing gram-negative bacteria and acquisition of infection or colonization with that pathogen.Design.Retrospective cohort study.Setting and Patients.The study included patients admitted to medical and surgical ICUs of an academic medical center between September 1, 2001, and June 30, 2009.Methods.Perianal surveillance cultures were obtained at admission to the ICU, weekly, and at discharge from the ICU. Patients were included if they had culture results that were negative for ESBL-producing gram-negative bacteria at ICU admission and had an ICU length of stay longer than 48 hours. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was performed on ESBL-positive isolates from patients who acquired the same bacterial species (eg,Klebsiellaspecies orEscherichia coli) as the previous room occupant.Results.Among 9, 371 eligible admissions (7, 651 unique patients), 267 (3%) involved patients who acquired an ESBL-producing pathogen in the ICU; of these patients, 32 (12%) were hospitalized in a room in which the prior occupant had been positive for ESBL. Logistic regression results suggested that the prior occupant's ESBL status was not significantly associated with acquisition of an ESBL-producing pathogen (adjusted odds ratio, 1.39 [95% confidence interval, 0.94-2.08]) after adjusting for colonization pressure and antibiotic exposure in the ICU. PFGE results suggested that 6 (18%) of 32 patients acquired a bacterial strain that was the same as or closely related to the strain obtained from the prior occupant.Conclusions.These data suggest that environmental contamination may not play a substantial role in the transmission of ESBL-producing pathogens among ICU patients. Intensifying environmental decontamination may be less effective than other interventions in preventing transmission of ESBL-producing pathogens.

Introduction: Patients treated in the intensive care unit (ICU) are usually patients who deteriorated health condition and could have longer hospital stay compared to other patients. Hospital infections are more common in ICU patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the bacteria and treatment resistance profiles isolated from clinical specimens sent for hospital infections in ICU patients between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2018. Methodology: Bacteria isolated from various clinical samples sent for hospital infections in hospitalized patients in the Anesthesia and Reanimation Intensive Care Unit were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Culture positivity was detected in 547 of the sent clinical samples. Eighty Gram-positive bacteria, 389 Gram-negative bacteria and 78 fungi infection were identified in a total of 547 positive cultures. In Gram-positive bacteria, 4 MRSA, 6 VRE and 30 MRCoNS were identified as resistant strains. In Gram-negative bacteria, Acinetobacter spp. was the most culture positive strain with the number of 223. Carbapenem resistance was found in 258 of the Gram-negative bacteria and ESBL positivity was found in 44 of the Gram-negative bacteria strains. Conclusions: Gram-negative bacteria were the most frequently isolated strain in samples. Recently, colistin resistance has been increasing in Acinetobacter spp. and the increase in carbapenemase enzyme in Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas and Klebsiella species has increased resistance to carbapenems. Knowing the microorganisms that grow in ICUs and their antibiotic resistance patterns may help to prevent contamination of resistant microorganisms by both appropriate empirical antibiotic treatment and more isolation as well as general hygiene standard precautions.

Antibiotic Resistance Pattern

Background: It is widely accepted that increased prevalence of antibiotic resistance of pathogens grown in the respiratory system in intensive care unit (ICU) patients is a very serious problem causing expansion of mortality. The most important strategy to prevent the occurrence and appropriate solution to control the antibiotic resistance is to thoroughly investigate the pattern of resistance in the studied ward. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the antibiotic resistance pattern of organisms isolated from endotracheal tube secretions of patients admitted to ICU of Khatam-Al-Anbia Hospital at Zahedan in Iran. Methods: In the present retrospective and descriptive cross-sectional study, the medical records of patients hospitalized during 2013-2018 were included by census method and then selected based on inclusion criteria (n=1387). The required data, including age, gender, type of microorganism isolated from endotracheal tube cultures, antibiotic resistance and sensitivity, duration of intubation and cause of hospitalization, were recorded for each patient. Finally, the data were analyzed by descriptive statistics using SPSS 16 software. Results: Mean age of patients was 44.66 ± 21.39 years and mean duration of intubation was 17.96 ± 10.99 days. Stroke was the most common cause of hospitalization with a prevalence of 553 patients (49%). The prevalence of positive culture of endotracheal tube secretions was 1128 (81.3%) of which 71.5% were male (n=807) and 28.5% were female (n=321). The cultures of endotracheal tube secretions resulted in 933 (82.7%) gram-negative bacteria, 191 (16.9%) grampositive bacteria and 4 (0.4%) mixed isolates. The most prevalent gram-negative bacterium was Acinetobacter baumannii (37.2%) with the highest and lowest antibiotic resistance to Meropenem (95.1% resistance) and colistin (99.5% sensitivity), respectively. In addition, the most prevalent gram-positive bacterium was Staphylococcus epidermidis (50.3%) with the highest and lowest antibiotic resistance to Meropenem (85.7% resistance) and Vancomycin (92.2% sensitivity). Conclusion: The findings of the present study illustrate that there was widespread bacterial resistance to respiratory tract infections in our ICU patients. Due to the high sensitivity of gram-negative bacteria to colistin, the use of antibiotic combination with colistin in the control of pulmonary infections caused by these organisms can be a good choice. In addition, in the case of gram-positive bacteria, the highest sensitivity was to vancomycin; therefore, it can be the selective antibiotic to control infections caused by these bacteria.

Because of importance of Hospital acquired infections (HAIs), it is critical to conduct surveillance studies to obtain the required data about the regional microorganisms and their susceptibility to antibiotics. This study to investigate antimicrobial resistance pattern among Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients in a private medical college hospital setup. In a cross sectional study, 100 specimens from patients admitted in the ICU who had signs or symptoms of nosocomial infection were collected from 2012 - 2013. For each patient, samples of blood, urine, tracheal aspirate, sputum, wound swab, pus, and endotracheal tubes were obtained, cultured and analyzed with antibiogram. The most common primary diagnosis were aspiration pneumonia (49%) and UTI (20%) respectively. The most common locations for infection were tracheal aspirate (54%). The most frequent gram negative microorganisms derived from samples were Acinetobacter spp (29%), Klebsiella spp (26%) and Pseudomonas spp (18%). Klebsiella spp, Acinetobacter spp and Pseudomonas spp were most common resistant organisms among all. Klebsiella spp were resistant against Ceftriaxone (84.6%), Ceftazidime (82.6%), Amikacin (46.1%), Gentamicin (66.6%) and Quinolones (65-66.6%) respectively. Acinetobacter spp were resistant against Ceftriaxone (85%), Ceftazidime (88.8%), Cefotaxime (85.7%), Meropenem (79.3%),Amikacin (86.2%), Gentamicin (84.5%) and Quinolons (86.2-89.2%) respectively. Pseudomonas spp were resistant against Ceftriaxone (70.5%), Ceftazidime (66.6%), Amikacin (68.7%), Gentamicin (58.8%), Meropenem (52.9%) and Quinolones (81.2-86.6%) respectively. Meropenem was the most sensitive antibiotic against Klebsiella spp (84.6%) but Cotrimoxazole in case of Acinetobacter spp (60%) respectively. Escherichia coli were mostly isolated from urine, which was sensitive to Amikacin (73.3%) and Meropenem (86.6%) respectively. Gram-negative pathogens obtained from ICU patients in our settings show high resistance to antibiotics. Regular monitoring of the pattern of resistance of common pathogens in the ICUs is essential to up-to-date the use of rational antibiotics regiments.Bangladesh J Medicine Jul 2014; 25 (2) : 47-51

Objective: Multidrug-resistance (MDR) is defined as an acquired non-susceptibility to at least one agent in three or more antimicrobial categories. MDR can be caused by several factors, including the misuse of antibiotics.  Resistance to antibiotics still poses a global challenge, especially in Indonesia. This study aimed to identify patterns of MDR in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the Central Java Hospital, during the period of January 2014 to December 2015.Methods: The study was conducted using a descriptive retrospective design. The research population comprised of 225 patients. Patient inclusion criteria were neonatal patients treated in NICU ward with infection diagnosis. All patients had culture and sensitivity examinations on their bloods. The culture and sensitivity examinations were performed by microbiology clinicians.Results: The most common infection type was sepsis (60%). The most common bacteria found in the blood specimen of patients in the NICU ward was Gram-negative bacteria with a 72% rate, the other was Gram-positive bacteria. Bacteria which infected patients include; Klebsiellapneumoniaessppneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bulkholderiacepacia, Acinetobacterbaumannii, Enterobactercloacae ssp cloacae, Serratiamarcescens, Staphylococcus haemolyticusand Staphylococcus epidermidis. The research result showed that 97.8% MDR cases were reported in the NICU ward. Antibiotics which were still potent for all bacteria found in NICU patients were tigecycline, meropenem and ciprofloxacin (for Gram-negative bacteria) and tigecycline, linezolid, nitrofurantoin, moxifloksacin and vancomycin (for Gram-positive bacteria).Conclusion: A high percentage of MDR occurred in NICU patients. Sepsis is the most common diagnosis in NICU patients. The usage of third generation antibiotics should be limited and regulated systematically.
