TAILIEUCHUNG - Evaluating the trends of bloodstream infections by nonfermenting gram negative bacilli among the patients in a tertiary care hospital of western part of India and its antibiogram

Non-fermenting gram-negative bacilli (NFGNB) are an emerging problem in Blood stream infections. A major concern is multi-drug resistance which severely limits treatment options. Earlier it was believed to be non pathogenic, but recently they are more frequently isolated as primary pathogen. Usually they cause hospital acquired infection (HAI). A prospective study was conducted to isolate the NFGNB from blood samples, to identify the risk factors leading to blood stream infections and to determine the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of them. The study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital, over a period of 2 years. Identification of NFGNB was done by biochemical tests and by VITEK 2. Antibiotic susceptibility was determined by disc diffusion method. Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) and metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) production were detected by the combined disc diffusion test. Out of 2021 blood samples, blood culture positive was in of patients of whom the cause was NFGNB. Acinetobacter boumannii was the most common organism, followed by Strenotrophomonas maltophilia, next to it was Pseudomonas aeruginosa Acinetobacter lwoffiietc. | Evaluating the trends of bloodstream infections by nonfermenting gram negative bacilli among the patients in a tertiary care hospital of western part of India and its antibiogram
