Biofilm Formation and Antibiotic resistance of Enterobacteriaceae isolates from Surgical Site infections in Hôpital de Référence Saint Joseph, Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo
Abstract:Background: Enterobacteriaceae are one of the most predominant pathogen in surgical site infections. In recent years we oberved increase in resistance among bacteria from surgical site infections. The aim of this study was to evaluate antimicrobial suceptibility pattern of Enterobacteriaceae isolates from surgical site infections, the biofilm formation and the production of OXA-48 carbapenemase.Methods: A total of 41 Enterobacteriaceae (19 Escherchia coli, 8 Enterobacter sp., 9 Citrobacter sp., and 5 Serratia … Show more
