Susceptibility And Resistance

Among hospitalized patients, the most common nosocomial infection is Urinary tract infection (UTI). The knowledge about the type of pathogens responsible for UTI and susceptibility and resistance pattern of the causative agents at a specific area may help the doctors to choose correct treatment regimen. This study was aimed to investigate the antibiotic susceptibility and resistance pattern of isolated urinary pathogens. This study was done at Anwer Khan Modern Medical College Hospital, Dhaka during January- June, 2011. Out of 498 clinical samples of urine collected, 245 (49.19%) showed significant bacterial growth. The most common pathogens isolated were Escherichia coli (142, 58.0%), Streptococcus feacalis (38, 15.5%), Pseudomonus (20, 8.2%), Klebsiella species (20, 8.2%) and Staphylococcus epidermidis (14, 5.7%). Members of the Enterobacteriaceae were 75%-100%sensitive to Amikacin and Nitrofurantoin while they were found variably sensitive to other commonly used antibiotics. Pseudomonas species were found 90% sensitive to Meropenem and 70% to Amikacin. Strep. feacalis were found 94.7% sensitive to Amoxicillin, 84.2% to Amoxiclave and 78.9% to Ciprofloxacin, 65.5% to Cephalexin, 50% to Ceftriaxone. The clinicians should use Meropenem and Amikacin selectively in cases of un-responsiveness to commonly used antibiotics.

Background and objective: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the frequently seen infections both in the world and in our country as well. Escherichia coli (E. coli) aremost frequently isolated in complicated or uncomplicated, nosocomial or community acquired urinary tract infections. To guide the empirical therapy, the resistance pattern of E. coli responsible was evaluated throughout the period in this study.Material and Method: Urine samples from outpatient / inpatient department of Ibn Sina Medical College Hospital between 1st January, 2015 and 31st December, 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Presence of ?105 colony forming units/ml in urine culture was considered as significant for UTI. Isolated bacteria were identified by standard laboratory techniques and antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed by Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method using Clinical Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) criteria.Result: A total of 271(13.4%) uropathogens were isolated. Overall E. coli accounted for 180 (66.42%) of all isolates. Resistance rates of E. coli to antimicrobial agents was demonstrated to be as follows: cefuroxime 82%, nalidaxic acid 74%, azithromycin 56%, cefotaxime52%, ceftazidime50%, cefixime 47%, cotrimoxazole 43%, ceftriaxone 41%, ciprofloxacin38%, amoxicillin- clavulanic acid 31%, cefepime30%, and low resistance which ranges from 9 to 1% included gentamycin 9%, meropenem 3%, imipenem2%, nitrofurantoin2% and amikacin 1%.Conclusion: As resistance rates show regional differences, it is necessary to regularly monitor regional resistance pattern to determine the appropriate empiric antibiotic treatment. The national antibiotic usage policies must be reorganized according to data obtained from these studies.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.16(1) 2017 p.42-47

Background: A unique challenge for clinical microbiologists, clinicians, infection control professionals is to deal with extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing pathogens. The study was aims to isolate ESBL producing bacteria from urine samples of Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)-patients and to analyses their phenotypic and genotypic characteristics. Methods: A total of 90 urine samples from UTI patients were collected from Enam Medical College Hospital and Gonoshastha Medical College Hospital, Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh; between May-2012 to August-2012. A total 75gram negative isolates were retrieved and screened for ESBL production by the Double Disk Diffusion Synergy Test (DDST). Isolates with ESBL phenotype were further characterised by antibiotic susceptibility testing, PCR and sequencing of β-lactamase genes. Results: Cultural and biochemical assay combined with 16S rRNA gene based phylogenetic identification confirmed that Escherichia spp. were predominant pathogens associate with UTI (41%), and the rest were distributed within the genus Enterobacter spp. 26%, Klebsiella spp. 21% , and Pseudomonas spp.10%. Total 31 isolates were phenotypically confirmed as ESBLs through DDST. The multidrug resistant (MDR) and ESBL producing bacteria showed high resistance to cefotaxime (96%), cefixime (90%) and imipenem (32%). PCR reaction was carried out targeting the genes blaTEM, blaCTX. Dominant ESBL class was CTX-M (65%) followed by TEM (52%). All ESBL isolates except 7 possesses multiple plasmids indicating possibility of both chromosomal and plasmid inheritance of ESBLs. Conclusions: This study shows a high prevalence of ESBL producing MDR in UTI patients among these two hospitals of Bangladesh indicating the necessity of alternative therapeutic intervention.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most important opportunistic pathogens responsible for various types of hospital infections. High prevalence of antibiotic resistance in P. aeruginosa strains of human clinical samples cause more severe diseases for a longer period of time. The current research was done in order to study the distribution of blaIMP-1 gene among the imipenem-resistant P. aeruginosa strains isolated from burn and urinary tract infections of hospitalized patients. Two-hundred and forty-three P. aeruginosa isolates recovered from the cases of burn and urinary tract infections of inpatients and outpatients were analysis for antibiotic resistance pattern using the disk diffusion method. Then, imipenem-resistant isolates were further analyzed for distribution of blaIMP-1 gene using the PCR. Of 243 P. aeruginosa isolates, 146 strains (60.08%) were taken from outpatients and 97 strains (39.91%) were taken from inpatients. P. aeruginosa isolates harbored the highest levels of resistance against streptomycin (100%), nalidixic acid (100%), aztreonam (100%), cotrimoxazole (95.47%), ciprofloxacin (88.47%), cefotaxime (84.36%) and gentamycin (83.95%). Inpatients had a relatively higher levels of antibiotic resistance. One-hundred and twenty-one out of 126 (96.03%) imipenem-resistant P. aeruginosa isolates harbored the blaIMP-1 gene. Inpatients also had a relatively higher prevalence of blaIMP-1 gene. High prevalence of blaIMP-1 gene and also imipenemresistant P. aeruginosa are important public health issue. Clinical laboratories should consider the detection of the blaIMP-1 gene among the P. aeruginosa isolates of clinical samples.

Changes Over Time

Background and rationale: Antibiotic resistance is a global problem. Many factors are complexly related to the issue in multiple dimensions. Bangladesh is right in the middle of this great calamity, and is seeing the rise in resistant strains of several bacteria. Very sadly, the prevalent malpractice of abusing antibiotics in Bangladesh contributes to add complexity to the danger which may prove to be possibly the greatest threat humans have ever faced. There is much scarcity of medical literature in Bangladesh, on the antibiotic sensitivity pattern and prevalent microorganisms. Moreover, antibiotic sensitivity pattern changes over time and place. Again, most of the studies done in Bangladesh, concentrate on a single disease, pathogen, or specimen. This study attempts to see the prevalent microorganisms and the antibiotic sensitivity pattern in multiple types of specimens collected from Dhaka Medical College Hospital. This study also attempts to establish a way of presentation of the relevant findings which can be used in future to ensure easy comparability and contrasting of findings.Methods: The specimens were collected from the adult patients (age >12 years) admitted in the Internal Medicine ward of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, over a period of 6 months. The sampling technique was consecutive sampling method. Specimens which were culture positive, were only included in the study for analysis. Multiple specimens were taken.Results: S. aureus was 100% sensitive to amikacin, moxifloxacin, imipenem, meropenem, piperacillin+tazobactum combination, vancomycin, doxycycline, tetracycline, tigecycline, nitrofurantoin, azactum, linezolid and 100% resistant to cefixime. Enterobacter was 100% sensitive to penicillin, amikacin, gentamicin, netilmicin, doxycycline, tetracycline, tigecycline and 100% resistant to cefixime, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, cefepime, cotrimoxazole, levofloxacin, vancomycin. E. coli was 100% sensitive to imipenem, meropenem, vancomycin, tigecycline and 100% resistant to mecillinam, aztreonam. Klebsiella was 100% sensitive to flucloxacillin, colistin, vancomycin, tigecycline, linezolid and 100% resistant to nalidixic acid. Proteus was 100% sensitive to cephradine, cefoxitin, cefixime, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, cefepime, cotrimoxazole, amikacin, ciprofloxacin, imipenem, meropenem, netilmicin, piperacillin+tazobactum combination, tetracycline, tigecycline, azithromycin, azactum and 100% resistant to doxycycline, tetracycline, chloramphenicol and cefuroxime. Pseudomonas was 100% sensitive only to amikacin, netilmicin, and 100% resistant to cefixime, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, cefepime, cotrimoxazole, gentamicin, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, imipenem, meropenem, doxycline, tetracycline, chloramphenicol. Salmonella typhi was 100% sensitive to amoxicillin, cefoxitin, cefixime, ceftriaxone, cefepime, cotrimoxazole, amikacin, netilmicin, azithromycin, chloramphenicol, azactum and 100% resistant to cephradine, doxycycline, tetracycline, nalidixic acid. MRSA was 100% sensitive to imipenem, vancomycin, teicoplanin, nitrofurantoin, linezolid and 100% resistant to cefpirome, cefoxitin, ceftazidime, cotrimoxazole, clindamycin, gentamicin, ciprofloxacin, netilmicin, tetracycline, clarithromycin. Acinetobacter was 100% sensitive to penicillin, cefuroxime, colistin, piperacillin+tazobactum combination, tigecycline, chloramphenicol and 100% resistant to cefixime, nalidixic acid. Citrobacter freundii was 100% sensitive to ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, cotrimoxazole, amikacin, gentamicin, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, imipenem, meropenem, netilmicin, nalidixic acid and 100% resistant to ampicillin, cefixime, nitrofurantoin.Conclusion: More and more antibiotics are becoming ineffective due to emergence of resistance. Serious actions should be taken. Awareness should be raised from the policy maker level to the physicians and patients.J Dhaka Medical College, Vol. 26, No.1, April, 2017, Page 52-64
