“…Isolates from the SENTRY Program, 1997) also had higher susceptibility than ours, and amikacin was the most active compound, but in our work only 26% of the isolates were susceptible to this drug. In Italy, Fadda et al (2004) tested 1474 isolates of P. aeruginosa and observed the most active drug was meropenem (susceptibility rates of 80.7%), only 31.9% of the isolates were fully susceptible and 12.5% were classified as multiresistant isolates. The high resistance rates observed in the present study to gentamicin, amikacin, ciprofloxacin, aztreonam, cephalosporins of third and fourth generation, as well the high resistance to both ceftazidime and cefepime (40%) and to ceftazidime, cefepime and ciprofloxacin (37%) are of special concerning since these drugs are currently used in the treatment of infections caused by P. aeruginosa.…”

Results: During this period, Acinetobacter baumannii isolated in respiratory samples of 38 patients (female=16, male n=22). The mean age of the patients was 68.6±18.1 years, and mean duration of hospitalisation was 25.4±18.3 days. Acinetobacter baumannii could be isolated from the culture media of respiratory samples after an average of 13.4±9.4 days followin inoculation A total of 29 cases (76.3%) exited. The underlying diseases were evaluated, and most frequently hypertension, stroke, heart failure, diabetes and COPD were detected. Prior to antibiotic use, urinary catheter, mechanical ventilation, nasogastric tube, total parenteral nutrition, central venous catheter had been most frequently detected risk factors. APACHE 2 score of the patients at admission to the intensive care unit was 23.3±5.7. On culture antibiograms, highest susceptibility to colistin polymyxin, tobramycin, gentamicin, imipenem, ciprofloxacin was noted. Conclusion: As a result, in our intensive care unit high rates of mortality due to Acinetobacter baumanni were detected.

ÖzetAmaç: Bu çalışmada, hastanemizde yatarak tedavi gören hastaların alt solunum yolu örneklerinden izole edilen Gram-negatif bakterilerin cinslere göre dağılımı ve antibiyotik direnç oranları-nın belirlenerek, ampirik antibiyotik tedavisinin yönlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. AbstractObjective: In this study, we aimed to determine the distribution of the genera of Gram-negative bacteria isolated from lower respiratory tracts of patients treated as in-patients and to calculate the antibiotic resistance rates to guide empirical antibiotic therapy. Methods: Samples taken from the lower respiratory tract and sent to the Bacteriology Laboratory at the Celal Bayar University Faculty of Medicine from January 2008 to December 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: A total of 853 Gram-negative bacteria were isolated from specimens of in-patients. The rates of carbapenem (85%) and multidrug resistance (47%) among A. baumannii were higher than those observed for P. aeruginosa (30% and 19.2%). Carbapenem resistance was not found among the bacteria of the family Enterobacteriaceae, while the highest rates of resistance were detected for ciprofloxacin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Conclusions: Implementation of effective treatment protocols based on sensitivity test results can be useful in preventing nosocomial lower respiratory infections caused by resistant Gram-negative bacteria.
