Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern of Enterococci Isolated from Clinical Specimens at Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh, Bangladesh

Background: Escherichia coli is the major bacterial pathogen being isolated and reported from urine, globally. For these uropathogens the therapeutic management becomes limited, so knowledge about the antimicrobial resistance pattern of these agents at a specific area may help the doctors to choose correct treatment regimen. The aim of the current study was to detect the common uropathogens from urine and the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Escherichia coli in Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH).Methods: Samples were collected over a period of 12 months from July 2011 to June 2012 from the patients of DMCH irrespective of age and sex. Samples were cultured in blood agar and MacConkey agar media and organisms were identified by different biochemical tests such as oxidase test, reaction in MIU and simmon's citrate media and different sugar fermentation tests. Data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel (2007).Results: From total 300 urine samples, 177 (59%) Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria were isolated. Among them, Esch. coli was the most predominant 112 (63.28%) organism followed by Enterobacter spp. (11.87%). The prevalence of Esch. coli was significantly higher in females (63.39%) of younger age group than in males (36.61%). Esch. coli was highly sensitive to imipenem (100%) followed by ceftriaxone (62.50%), ceftazidime (55.36%) and azitromycin (35.72%) respectively. Low sensitivity patterns were found against doxycycline (13.39%), co-trimoxazole (16.07%), amoxiclav (21.43%) and ciprofloxacin (23.22%) respectively.Conclusion: The result of this study provides insight into the high proportion of multidrug resistant Escherichia coli and creates a need to report them routinely in laboratories.Anwer Khan Modern Medical College Journal Vol. 7, No. 1: Jan 2016, P 40-44

The present study has been carried out in an attempt to evaluate antimicrobial susceptibility patterns with special reference to susceptibility of Salmonella Typhi to ciprofloxacin isolated from blood culture. The study is also designed to find out the MIC of Ciprofloxacin by E- test. Blood samples were taken for culture sensitivity, Widal test and ICT from 100 clinically suspected cases of typhoid fever in 1st week of illness who attended at out patient department of Rajshahi Medical College Hospital (RMCH).The study was done in Microbiology Department of Rajshahi Medical College and Shishu Hospital, Dhaka. Diagnosis of patients was based on history of fever, blood culture, Widal test and ICT. The antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of isolates from blood culture was recorded. Further more, the minimum inhibitory concentration of Ciprofloxacin was determined by E-test for the isolates resistance to Ciprofloxacin. Out of 100 suspected cases of typhoid fever, blood culture positive for S. Typhi were 16 (16%). Antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of 16 isolates of S. Typhi showed that no isolate was resistant to Ceftriaxone and Ceftazidime, only 03(18.75%) were resistant to Ciprofloxacin and Azithromycin whereas 10(62.5%) were MDR showing resistance to Ampicillin, Co-trimoxazole and Chloramphenicol which are first-line antityphoidal drugs. On the other hand, all (100%) the isolates were resistant to Nalidixic acid. The study revealed that Ceftriaxone and Ceftazidime are the most effective drugs in the treatment of typhoid fever. Moreover, E-test has been found to be helpful to determine appropriate therapeutic dose of Ciprofloxacin especially in case of drug resistance and pediatric population.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjmm.v5i1.15816 Bangladesh J Med Microbiol 2011; 05 (01): 16-20

Culture And Sensitivity

Background: Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM) is a chronic disease associated with irreversible consequences and serious intracranial and extracranial complications. Thereby early & effective treatment must be needed to avoid such complications. Objectives: This study was carried out to know antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of pathogenic bacteria through culture and sensitivity for better management and to reduce resistance & morbidity due to CSOM. Methods: After taking proper approval from hospital administration, this study was conducted on 82 patients of clinically diagnosed cases of both Tubo-tympanic & Attico-antral variety of CSOM attending ENT OPD of Gazi Medical College Hospital, Khulna from January 2018 to June 2018. After proper sample collection by sterile aural swabs, they were immediately sent to the microbiology laboratory of Gazi Medical College Hospital, Khulna for bacterial culture, isolation and identification. Routine antibacterial susceptibility was done as per CLSI guidelines. SPSS 18.0 was used for statistical analysis. Results: The commonest pathogens isolated were Staphylococci, Coagulase Negative Staphylococci (CONS), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella spp. & others; mostly showing susceptibility to high end antibiotics like Ceftriaxone and Amoxiclav for staphylococcal infection & piperacillin-tazobactum for Pseudomonal infection. Conclusion: Antibiotic sensitivity pattern determines the prevalent bacterial organism causing CSOM to start empirical treatment for a successful outcome, and thus to prevent the emergence of resistant strains.

INTRODUCTION: Staphylococcus aureus causes a wide range of infections including skin and soft tissue infections to life-threatening systemic infections like sepsis, endocarditis. This study ais to evaluate the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of S.aurues among various clinical specimens. METHODS: The study included 326 S.aurues, isolated from various clinical specimens which were subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing as per CLSI guidelines. RESULTS: Among the 326 isolates, the highest were from pus specimens (47.85%), and was from Orthopaedics department (28.53%). Among the isolates, 219 (67.17%) were Methicilin resistant. All isolates were sensitive to Vancomycin, and all urine isolates were sensitive to Nitrofurantoin. The highest resistance was towards Penicillin (87.42%), Erythromycin (85.28), and Ciprooxacin (83.13%). CONCLUSION: The most effective way to prevent MRSA infection in every hospital is by performing continuous surveillance of antibiotic resistance and by following an effetive antibiotic policy.
