Abstract

Background: According to the studies, Iran’s per capita antibiotic consumption is remarkable. Since the emergence of Antibiotic Resistant Organisms (AROs) is considered a global problem in community and hospitals, this study aimed to investigate the pattern of antibiotic resistance in GRAM-NEGATIVE BACTERIA isolated from patients in an academic and a non-academic hospital in Arak, Iran.Material and Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study included all specimens referred to the microbiology laboratory of Amir Al-Momenin Hospital (academic hospital) and Imam Khomeini Hospital (non- academic hospital) in a one-year period from June 2012 to June 2013. The susceptibility of the isolated GRAM-NEGATIVE BACTERIA against the important antibiotics used in clinical practice was determined using the disk diffusion method.Results: A total of 846 specimens were collected from patients in the two hospitals where 520 (61.5%) were GRAM-NEGATIVE BACTERIA, of which 63.3% were E. coli. The prevalence of gram-negative organisms in the academic and the non-academic hospital was obtained 79.8% and 20.2%, respectively (P=0.097). There was significant difference between the two hospitals in the prevalence of Extended- Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) GRAM-NEGATIVE BACTERIA (P=0.003).Conclusion: There was a significant difference between the two hospitals in the prevalence of ESBL GRAM-NEGATIVE BACTERIA. Therefore, conducting regional surveillance programs to evaluate the patterns of antibiotic resistance is recommended.
