Abstract
The aim of study: To determine the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among P. aeruginosa, K. pneumoniae, E. coli, A. baumanii isolated from patients with respiratory tract infections.
Methods: Retrospective analysis 52 P. aeruginosa, 19 K. pneumoniae, 13 E. coli, 9 A. baumanii strains which were isolated from patients with respiratory tract infections during the period 2010 to 2013. Susceptibility testing was conducted using disc diffusion method.
Results: Our dataare presentedin table 1. P. aeruginosa (15 is; 28,8%), E. coli (8 is; 61,5%), K. pneumoniae (7 is; 36,8%), A. baumanii (6 is; 66,7%) had a multiple resistance. P. aeruginosa (3 is; 5,8%), A. baumanii (3 is; 33,3%) had resistance to all antibacterial drugs.
Conclusion: Ours data indicate that thehighest concern is the increasing trend of resistanceP. aeruginosa and A. baumanii to all antimicrobialdrugs. Elevated multiple resistance gram negative strains poses a serious threat to current and future treatment of respiratory tract infections.
