TAILIEUCHUNG - Klebsiella pneumoniae: Prevalence of ESBL producing clinical isolates and their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern in a hospital setting

The incidence of infections caused by multidrug resistant ESBL producing is on rise. The treatment of these infections have become increasingly difficult and life threatening. Knowledge on prevalence of these infections and corresponding antimicrobial susceptibility patterns is essential regionally. Routine standard operative procedures were followed in the laboratory in processing the clinical specimens for culture and sensitivity. ESBL producing were identified by phenotypic combination disc test. Majority of were isolated from respiratory specimens and pus, followed by urine and blood respectively. 42 () isolates were confirmed as ESBL producing . The resistance demonstrated to 3rd generation cephalosporins was significant and to non β lactam antibiotics was moderate. Resistance exhibited to piperacillin/tazobactam was low and nil to carbapenems and tigecycline. The infections caused by multidrug resistant ESBL producing are significant. Due to their multidrug resistant nature the treatment options available are limited. Therefore, active surveillance and appropriate infection control measures are necessary to control the spread of these pathogens. | Klebsiella pneumoniae: Prevalence of ESBL producing clinical isolates and their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern in a hospital setting
