Antibiogram of klebsiella pneumoniae recovered from blood stream infection at tertiary care hospital, Baroda, Gujarat
Journal Title: IP International Journal of Medical Microbiology and Tropical Diseases - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction Antimicrobial abuse is a serious risk factor for the emergence of multidrugresistant MDR pathogens Multidrug resistant MDR Klebsiella pneumoniae is an increasing cause of blood stream infections in India and in other developing countriesAim This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of Klebsiella pneumoniae in blood stream infections and their susceptibility pattern at S S G Hospital BarodaMaterial and Methods 169 isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae were obtained from blood culture samples from hospitalized patients Kpneumoniae species were identified based on biochemical reactions Their sensitivity pattern were checked by Kirbybauer disc diffusion technique as per CLSI guideline Antimicrobial discs used were Ceftazidime 30g Cefotaxime 30g Imipenem 10 g Levofloxacin 5 g Aztreonam 30 g Cotrimoxzole 25 g Ampicilin 10 g Gentamicin 10 g Amikacin 30 g Doxycycline 30 gResults 950 blood cultures were studied from suspected patients and the prevalence of K pneumoniae among them was checked with its antimicrobial susceptibility at Department of Microbiology Tertiary care hospital Gujarat Among 950 suspected patients in the study period Kpneumoniae was found in 169 blood culture samplesConclusion Infections with Kpneumoniae are increasing particularly among paediatric patients This pathogen is usually multidrugresistant and there are limited treatment options available This result warns us for implementation of infection control measures to limit intrainstitutional spread of these organismsKeyword Kpneumoniae Antimicrobial tests Infection control
