Susceptibility Pattern of Bacterial Isolates from Catheterised Patients in a Referral Hospital

Abstract

Introduction: Catheter associated urinary tract infection is one of the most important Result: A total of 11 samples were positive and 12 organisms were isolated, of which 3 were Gram positive and 9 were Gram negative organisms. The most common Gram positive isolate was S.aureus and E.coli was the most common Gram negative isolate. All the S.aureus isolates were Methicillin resistant (MRSA). But it was 100% sensitivity to vancomycin, linezolid and co-trimoxazole. As for the gram negative organisms, it was most sensitive to imipenem. Conclusion: Gram negative isolates were the most common pathogens in catheterised patients. Measures tocontrol DAI are needed to decrease morbity and mortality among the admitted patient, for the hospital to develop a strict antibiotic policy and also the information is needed for creation of such devices which can prevent device associated infections.

Microbial Profile and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern of Uropathogens Isolated From Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI)

“…In the present study Escherichia coli was isolated in 27.2 % of CAUTI cases. Similar results have been reported in studies performed by Chaudhari et al, 21 , and Roel et al, 27 , with rate of isolation to be 21% and 27.2% respectively. However Poudel et al, 22 have reported a higher isolation rate of E. coli (40.7%).…”

“…However studies conducted by Chatterjee et al, 23 and Dimri et al, 24 reported a higher rate of CAUTI (86.6% and 86.1% respectively). A lower rate of CAUTI has been reported by Bhatia et al, 25 (28.8%), Prajapati et al, 26 (13.14%) and Roel et al, 27 (15.5%).…”

“…Poudel et al,22 , Dimri et al,24 , Manish et al,30 , Roel et al,27 also reported imipenem as the most effective antibiotic among GNB (91-100%). Chaudhari et al,21 and Roel et al,27 , who reported the isolation rate to be 21%, and 18.2% respectively. A little higher rate was reported by Chatterjee et al,23 (30.67%).…”

Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates and their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern among catheterized patients at Jimma University Teaching Hospital, Jimma, Ethiopia

“…The increasing number of CAUTIs bears on the fact that urinary catheters became second most often used foreign body inserted into human body [ 15 ]. Several other studies [ 16 , 17 ] have shown P. aeruginosa is the second most common gram negative microorganism isolated from catheterized patient with UTI. The prevalence of P. aeruginosa in the current study was found to be 49.…”

“…The isolate were susceptible to Ciprofloxacin and Norfloxacin. The Susceptibility of the isolates to Ciprofloxacin is very important for local consumption compared to other studies, whereby 40.5 % [ 24 ], 50 % [ 17 ] and 72.41 % [ 25 ] susceptibility were observed, Ciprofloxacin should be given due attention and should be used when necessary as an alternative therapeutic agent for resistant isolates.…”
