ICU (26.3, 18.7, 14.3, 11.9 and 9.2% respectively). MRSA strains constituted over 65% of all S. aureus isolates and 30.3% of E. faecium were found to be vancomycin resistant. Extended spectrum β-lactmase producers were expressed in 53.2% and 50.6 from K. pneumoniae and E. coli. Carbapenem resistance among K. pneumoniae improved slightly from 2.89 to 4.21%. A. baumannii isolates exhibited extremely high levels of resistance to all antibiotics except colistin (100% sensitive). In addition, 80.4% of A. baumannii isolates were found to be resistant to imipenem. Imipenem resistant P. aeruginosa isolates showed 36.4%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
