Prevalence and Antibiogram of Acinetobacter Species Isolated from Various Clinical Samples in a Tertiary Care Hospital

Abstract: Background: Acinetobacter species has emerged as a significant hospital pathogen, and are becoming        increasingly drug resistance. They cause outbreaks in intensive care units and health care units. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility pattern of Acinetobacter spp isolated from various clinical samples collected from patients admitted in various wards and intensive care units of the hospital over a period of one year (March 2018 to … Show more

“…Our observation also showed a higher percentage of multidrug resistant bacteria than the findings of India (37.1%) [4] and Nepal (51.03%) [18]. The rate of multidrug resistant Acinetobacter spp.has been reported as 57% to 62.2%, 71.6% and 80.4% from Bangladesh, India and Nepal respectively [30,6,31,22], which are lower than our findings (98.9%). Contrary, a study from Ghana reported the prevalence of multidrug resistant Acinetobacter spp.…”

“…with a sensitivity of 93.3%. Previously conducted studies from Bangladesh (sensitivity 95.1%) [6], Nepal (sensitivity 100%) [22], and Turkey (97.8%) [23] also reported colistin as the most effective drug against this bacterial species. One study from Nepal [18] reported piperacillin-tazobactam as the most effective drug against Acinetobacter spp.…”

“…As a result of increasing antibiotic pressure in hospitals, new strains with higher antibiotic resistance emerge and they replace the previous strains. While methicillin resistance in S. aureus is less in countries like Norway and Sweden (1%), Netherlands (2%) and Canada (5-10%), it is 25-50% in the United States, 54% in Portugal and 43%-58% in Italy (7). High prevalence of MRSA is an emerging problem in India.…”
