Nosocomial rathogens and antibiotic susceptibility patterns in orthopedics and traumatology department

Abstract

During the period of 1 st April 1993 and 31st December 1993, we isolated 150 bacteria species from 113 aerobic cultures of 86 patients with nosocomial infections, as CDC defined, in Orthopedics and TraumatoIogy Department of our Faculty. Antibiotic susceptibility, patterns of the isolated bacteria were investigated with disc diffusion test. Among the isolates are 19% Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 13% other nonfermentative Gramnegative rods, 17% Klebsiella pneumoniae, 7% other Gram-negative enteric rods; 33% Staphylococcus aureus, 10% coagulase-negative staphylococci and 1 % Gram-pozitive rods. AII of the isolated Gram-negative rods were found to be sensitive to imipenem; other than imipenem the most active antibiotics are cefoperazone/sulbactam, aztroenam, amikacin, ceftazidime, piperacillin and ciprofloxacin for P. aeruginosa; netilmisin (%68), amikacin (63%) and cefoperazone/sulbactam (63%) for other nonfermentative Gram-negative rods; amikacin (69%) and ciprofloxacin (65%) . 69% of the isolated S. aureus species and 60% of coagulase-negative staphylococci were found to be methicillin-resistant. These data reveals once more that antibiotic susceptibility patterns are required for choosing antibiotics in the treatment of nosocomial infections in Orthopedics and Traumatology Department of our Faculty.
