“…Isolates of S. pneumonia, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, Enterobacter spp, and Citrobacter represent clinically important pathogens. These pathogens have also been associated with URTIs in other studies [13][14][15]. Isolation of Streptococcus spp was within the range reported in most studies.…”

1) Background: Respiratory tract infections (RTI) has been known to be a significant health concern for mortality and morbidity since many years. This study was aimed at determining the prevalence of bacterial pathogen causing upper respiratory tract (URTIs) and the susceptibility patterns to frequently used antibiotics among patients attending Abusetta hospital in Tripoli district; 2) Methods: A total of 1,110 throat swabs were collected between Jan, 2011 to December, 2014 and inoculated onto Blood agar, MacCkonkey agar and Chocolate agar then incubated at 37 oC for 24 hours. Bacterial pathogens were determined by bacteriological culture methods and antibiotic susceptibility of the isolates was identified following Clinical Laboratory Standard Institute guidelines (CLSI); 3) Results: Of the 1,110 respiratory samples tested, 71.1% (n = 789) of specimens were positive cultures with the dominant bacterial pathogens being streptococcus pneumonia 43.3% (n = 342), followed by pseudomonas aeruginosa 22.8% (n = 180), staphylococcus aurous 13.8% (n = 109), Escherichia Coli 6.9% (n = 55), Enterobacter spp 6.2% (n = 49), Citrobacter 4.5% (n = 36), and Klebsiella 2.2% (n = 18). Most isolates exhibited resistance against the commonly used antibiotics and to at least one antibiotic; and 4) Conclusions: The level of antibiotic resistance in this study is alarming and brings to light the timely and suitable diagnosis of the common bacteria causes of URTIs and proper antibiotic administration based on susceptibility test.

The most common and wide types of infections are Respiratory tract infections (RTIs), known for high morbidity and mortality in medicine. This study was conducted to determine the microbial pathogens responsible for respiratory tract infections and their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern. Total 130 sputum and 70 swabs were collected and processed according to standard laboratory procedures Absyn University Peshawar, Pakistan microbiology laboratory. The samples were processed to screen pathogenic bacteria causing respiratory tract infections. Of all samples, the most prevalent bacteria were enterococcus (29.2%) followed S. aureus (27%), S. pneumoniae (14.0%), M. catarhalis (8.4%), K. pneumoniae (7.3%), S. pyogenes (7.9%), and H. Influenza (6.2%). Antibiotics susceptibility profile was done to determine resistance level in isolated species against current antibiotics. It concluded that different bacterial species were responsible for URT and LRT infections and were detected as multi-drug resistance. Further molecular research is needed to identify resistance genes among these species
