PREVALENCE AND ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE OF SOME COMMON BACTERIA CAUSING SEPSIS AT THE CENTER FOR TROPICAL DISEASES OF NGHE AN GENERAL HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To determine the prevalence and antibiotic resistance profile of some common bacteria causing sepsis.
Subjects and methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 229 inpatients treated at the Tropical Diseases Center of Nghe An General Hospital with a confirmed diagnosis of sepsis between January 2020 and April 2022..
Results: The average age of the study subjects was 61.2 ± 14.7 years old with 58.9% male and 41.1% female patients. The rate of isolation of gram-negative bacteria was 76.4% and for gram-positive bacteria was 23.6%; the most common bacteria causing sepsis are E. coli (42.8%), S. aureus (15.3%), B. pseudomonas (15.3%), K. pneumoniae (13.1%). E. coli has high resistance to cephalosporin (50.5% - 64.5%), fluoroquinolone (36.8 - 38.4%), low resistance to amikacin (2.1%), not yet resistant to carbapenem. B. pseudomallei was 100% sensitive to doxycycline, ceftazidime, meropenem and 67.7% to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. K. pneumoniae is more than 70% sensitive to 3rd generation cephalosporins, over 80% to quinolones, aminoglycosides and over 90% to carbapenems. S. aureus resistant to erythromycin (73.9%), clindamycin (69.7%), fluoroquinolone (14.7 - 17.7%), resistance to vancomycin, linezolide has not been recorded.
Conclusions: The bacteria are usually highly resistant or partially resistant to the antibiotics cephalosporin, and quinolone but are still highly sensitive to carbapenem (gram-negative bacteria) and Vancomycin, Linezoliede (gram-positive bacteria).
