One of the serious problem is the selection of antibiotic therapy for respiratory infections due to the absence of any research on antibiotic resistance of bacteriaObjective: To investigate the structure of antimicrobial resistance of clinical strains of pneumococcus in Kyrgyzstan.Materials and methods: This is a prospective, multicenter study involving 4 major centers of Kyrgyzstan. Biological Materials were collected from patients with community-acquired pneumonia, acute exacerbations of COPD, acute sinusitis and acute otitis media. Collection and delivery is carried out according to the standard requirements. Patients received antibiotic therapy within the last month, and any surgery was excluded from the study. Determination of antibiotic sensitivity was performed by disk diffusion method.Results: From examined 52 biological samples were allocated 19 Streptococcus pneumoniae. Other isolated microorganisms were: Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aƫruginosa, Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae. Preliminary results of the study showed a trend of high resistant pneumococci to amoxicillin clavulanate (63.1%), erythromycin (68.4%), cefazolin (100%), ceftriaxone (47.3%), cefuroxime(63.1%), ceftazidime (94.7%), cefotaxime (73.6%), norfloxacin (42.1%), to levofloxacin (31.5%), amikacin (78.9%), gentamicin (84.2%), ertapenem (47.3%), fosfomycin (94.7%), clindamycin (31.5%), trimethoprim (84.2%).Conclusions: The preliminary results showed a high resistance of Streptococcus Pneumoniae to commonly and routinely used antibiotics.
