“…Similar observation was found in Maksum et al from Indonesia [18]. In addition Pseudomonas spp showed high resistance to ciprofloxacin and amikacin which is similar to Mehta et al [19]. The Gram negative organism showed high susceptibility to Imipenam, where the observation is similar to Patrick et al [20].…”

“…The spectrum of resistance observed in the present study highlights the most alarming situation of multidrug resistance. The data from INICC also reveals a high degree of resistance in all the isolates [13,19]. Vancomycin resistant Enterococcus isolates were not observed in our study as compared to Tigen et al [16].…”

Aim: Health-care associated infections (HAIs) affect 5-20% of patients admitted in the hospitals. Catheterassociated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) are the commonest HAIs accounting for about 35-45% of these nosocomial infections due to lack of aseptic procedures and prolonged catheterization. The spectrum and antimicrobial resistance pattern of micro-organism that cause CAUTIs vary among institutions and can change from year to year. Materials and Methods: A retrograde analysis was performed on patients with indwelling catheters admitted in medical and surgical ICU. The patient's demographic details (name, age,sex), date of hospital admission, provisional diagnosis, treatment details, time and date of catheter insertion and removal were recorded as per CDC criteria. CAUTI was diagnosed as per CDC guidelines. Results and Conclusions: A total of 687 patients were catheterized in ICU for an aggregate of 2748 patient days. The device utilization rate was 0.66. The prevalence of CAUTI per 1000 device days was 8.73.The causative uropathogens included Candida, E.coli, Enterococcus spp. A high degree of resistance was observed in all the isolates. There is a need to introduce appropriate measures aimed at proper use of catheters, to organise more frequent suitable personnel training and emphasis on hand washing procedures.

“…In another Turkish study, the resistance rate to imipenem was reportedly 52z (18). Mehta et al (19) reported 42z and 28.6z resistance rates of Pseudomonas spp. to imipenem and ciprofloxacin, respectively.…”

SUMMARY:The aim of this study was to explore the rate of device-associated nosocomial infections (DANIs) and the distributions of causative agents and patterns of antibiotic resistance in the medicalsurgical intensive care unit (ICU) over a 3-year period and to compare these rates with those reported by National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance System and International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium. A total of 1,798 patients were hospitalized in our ICU for 13,942 days, of which 309 patients had DANIs, indicating an overall infection rate of 22.1 per 1,000 ICU-days. The central lineassociated bloodstream infection rate was 6.4 per 1,000 catheter-days, whereas the ventilator-associated pneumonia rate was 14.3 per 1,000 ventilator-days and the catheter-associated urinary tract infection rate was 4.3 per 1,000 catheter-days. Overall, 87.4z of all Staphylococcus aureus DANIs were caused by methicillin-resistant strains. With respect to Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 30.9z of the strains were resistant to ciprofloxacin, 23.3z to amikacin, 43.1z to ceftazidime, 19.1z to piperacillin-tazobactam, and 34.7z to imipenem. Furthermore, 1.9z of the Enterococcus spp. were resistant to vancomycin, and 51.1z of Enterobacteriaceae were resistant to ceftriaxone. DANI rates decreased over the 3-year study period, which was likely in response to the infection control measures implemented in our ICU.
