Abstract

Background: Gram-negative bacteria cause most nosocomial respiratory infections. At the University of Cumhuriyet, we examined 328 respiratory isolates of Enterobacteriaceae and Acinetobacter baumanii organisms in Sivas, Turkey over 3 years. We used disk diffusion or standardized microdilution to test the isolates against 18 antibiotics.

ESBL Detection and Comparison of Antibiotics Resistance Pattern of Klebsiella Pneumoniae Isolated from Healthy and Acute Respiratory Tract Infected Camels

“…Similarly (Khanfar et al, 2009) reported 17% ESBL positive K. pneumoniae strains from nosocomial and community-acquired infections and all ESBL positive isolates were sensitive to imipenem while in contrast to present study resistant to gentamicin and ciprofloxacin. Findings of present study is also supported by (Gonlugur et al, 2004) with little less frequency (12%) of ESBL producing K. pneumoniae strains from specimen of respiratory tract infected humans and also found that ESBL producing isolates were sensitive to imipenem and ciprofloxacin with more resistance to tetracycline. (Zhou et al, 2011) reported antibiotic resistance pattern and ESBL activity of K. pneumoniae isolated from randomly purchased powdered infant formula and found that 16.6 % isolates were ESBL producers with 100% resistance towards oxacillin and sensitivity for ciprofloxacin and gentamicin, a similar finding in this investigation.…”

Impact of Antimicrobial Stewardship Programme on Carbapenem Resistance in Gram Negative Isolates in an Indian Tertiary Care Hospital

“…The resistance may also be due to the production of Metallo-B-Lactamases (MBL) which can be chromosomally encoded or plasmid mediated (Navaneeth et al, 2002;Hancock, 1998). Our results are supported by Forster and Daschner (1998) and Gonlugur et al (2004) in their studies showing varying resistance (4-60%) of Pseudomonas towards these drugs across the World.…”

Prevalence of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa (P. Aeruginosa) and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Patterns at a Private Hospital in Sana'a, Yemen

“…The emergence of carbapenem resistance is a serious concern 24 . In various studies across the world, varying rates of resistance from 4-60% have been reported for imipenem and meropenem 25 . Another survey found that resistance to imipenem was 19%, while other studies have reported low rates (5.8% and 9%) and high rates (38.6%) of resistance to imipenem 26 .…”
