Prevalence Of Aerobic Bacteria In Intensive Care
Keywords:
infection in icu, antibiogram, antibiotic patternAbstract
Introducation: Multi-drug resistant nosocomial infections are one of the leading causes of mortality and
morbidity amongst hospitalized patients throughout the world, accounting a major burden on the patients and public
health system of any country Method :To determine the prevalence of aerobic bacterial in different clinical
specimens received from various Intensive Care Units (MICU, SICU, CCU, PICU, and NICU) and their antibiotic
susceptibility pattern in the isolated organisms in a tertiary care hospital in Jaipur, Rajasthan. Result : Out of 500
samples, 213 (43%) samples showed growth while 287 (57%) did not show any growth. In the 213 positive samples
183 (85.92%) were Gram Negative bacilli while 25(1.74%) were Gram Positive Cocci and 5 (2.34%) were candida
spp.Out of Gram Negative Isolates Acinetobacter Spp. was found to be maximum 35.2% followed by E.coli 19.7% ,
Klebsiella spp.19.2%, Pseudomonas 12.2%, Citrobacter 0.93% and Proteus Spp. 0.93%. Among Gram Positive Isolates
Staphylococcus aureus was maximum 6.5% followed by Enterococcus 3.75%, CONS 0.93% and streptococcus spp.0.
46%. Candida spp. contributes 2.34% of all positive culture. Conclusion: Isolates are sensitive to combination drugs
while more resistant to single drug. Among gram negative bacteria most common isolate was Acinetobacter spp. 75
(35.2%) which were resistant to most of the antibiotics like amoxycillin- clavulanic acid (83%) , cefotaxime (76%),
imipenem (71%), piperacillin- tazobactam (53%),cefepime (57%) while sensitive to aztreonam (64%) and
cotrimoxazole (64%). [Jain MNJIRM2016; 7(2):52-55]
