Studiu asupra spectrului de infecții și pattern-ului de rezistență la antimicrobiene la Enterobacteriaceae | [Study on the spectrum of infections and antimicrobial resistance pattern in Enterobacteriaceae]

Abstract

The aim of this retrospective study was to analyze the spectrum of infections and the antibiotic resistance of Enterobacteriaceae isolated from hospitalized patients. The most often isolated were E. coli (59%), Klebsiella sp. (24.7%), and Proteus sp. (12.3%). Enterobacteriaceae have been implicated in a wide range of infections, more often in urinary and wound infections. E. coli have presented higher levels of resistance to ampicillin (64%) and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (38.3%). In Klebsiella sp. and Proteus sp., there have been registered relatively high levels of resistance to the majority of the tested antimicrobials, except for imipenem and amikacin. The share of ESBL strains for the studied group was 19.1%, being more present in E. coli (47.8%) and Klebsiella sp. (40.7%).
