Title

NOSOCOMIAL BACTERIAL INFECTIONS AND THEIR ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE PATTERNS IN UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS OF HAMEDAN, IRAN

Pages

  54-58

Abstract

 Background: NOSOCOMIAL INFECTIONs constitute a global health problem, leading to a high rate of morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE patterns of NOSOCOMIAL INFECTIONs in educational hospitals of Hamadan, western Iran.Methods: During a 1-year period from April 2006 to March 2007, all patients with culture-proven NOSOCOMIAL INFECTIONs from educational hospitals in Hamedan, western Iran were included. NOSOCOMIAL INFECTIONs were defined as a culture proven infection, which occurred more than 48h after admission in the hospital. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of isolated bacteria was performed by disc diffusion method.Results: A total of 170 cases of culture-proven NOSOCOMIAL INFECTIONs were diagnosed. Most cases were in INTENSIVE CARE UNITS (ICUs) (57.4%). The common sites of infection were lower respiratory tract (51.8%) and urinary tract (31.9%). Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli, were the most prevalent pathogens (32.7%, 22.9%, and 14.8% respectively). Most enterobacteriacea isolates were resistant to third generation cephalosporins. The resistant rates to ceftriaxone were 75.5% for K. pneumoniae, and 76% for E. coli. Among P. aeruginosa isolates, 26.5% were resistant to ceftazidim, and 36% to ciprofloxacin. Among S. aureus isolates, 80% were methicillin-resistant.Conclusion: The patients in the ICUs are at a higher risk of NOSOCOMIAL INFECTIONs. The high prevalence of ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE in the hospitals highlights the need of further infection control activities and surveillance programs.
