Incidence Of Carbapenem Resistant Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Isolated From Patients With Lower Respiratory Tract Infection In Intesive Care Units.
Journal Title: International Journal of Scientific Research and Management - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
Carbapenems are used for treating serious infections caused by multidrug resistant gram negative bacilli including non - fermenters (NFGNB). The study documents the occurrence of carbapenem resistance in NFGNB Isolates obtained from patients with respiratory infection in the intensive care u nits (ICUs). Microbiological work was done of 720 respiratory specimensyielded 690 gram negative bacilli. This included, Klebsiella (150) , Enterobactter (90) , Escherichia Coli (120) , Proteus Species (24), Citrobacter (20) , Aeromonas (06), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (120) , Achromobacter spp (95), Acinetobacter spp(65). This included NFGNB (280 ) , 46(16.4%) of 280 NFGNB were found to be resistant to imipenem & meropenem. Expectedly, Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the predominant NFGNB showing carbapenem resistan ce in 29 isolates(10.3%), 10 (3.5%) were Acinetobacter species and 7 (2.5%) were other NFGNB. 40 of these 46 NFGNB showed resistance to the other antibiotics tested. This study conducted at a n Apollo Hospitals inrural region of Chhattisgarh State during J anuary, 2014 to January 2015. The rapid dissemination of carbapenem is therapeutically challenging and necessitates effectiveantibiotics policies and meticulous surveillance program in critical care setting.
