Asemptomatik kullanıcıların kontakt lens saklama kaplarından izole edilen Gram negatif bakterilerin antibiyotik duyarlılıkları

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, asemptomatik kullanıcıların kontakt lens saklama kaplarından izole edilen çeşitli bakterilerin in vitro antibiyotik duyarlılıklarını belirlemektir. Bu amaçla yirmi iki bakteri izolatının, Kirby-Bauer disk difüzyon yöntemi kullanılarak in vitro antibiyotik duyarlılıkları araştırılmıştır. Kontrol olarak farklı cinslere ait dört ATCC bakteri suşu kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlar, test edilen tüm bakterilere karşı gentamisinin en etkili antibiyotik olduğunu göstermiştir. Ek olarak, bu çalışmada test edilen tüm bakterilerin ampisilin, metisilin, penisilin G ve vankomisine karşı dirençli oldukları tespit edilmiştir. Bu sonuçlara göre asemptomatik kullanıcıların kontakt lens saklama kaplarından izole edilen bakterilerin antibiyotik duyarlılıklarının sürekli izlenmesi gerektiği sonucununa varılmıştır.

Antibiotic susceptibilities of Gram-negative bacteria isolated from contact lens storage cases of asymptomatic wearers

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the in vitro antibiotic susceptibilities of various bacteria isolated from contact lens storage cases of asymptomatic wearers. For this purpose, twenty-two bacteria isolates were subjected to in vitro antibiotic susceptibility using Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Four ATCC strains of different genus of bacteria were used as control. The results obtained from the current study showed that gentamicin was the most effective antibiotic against all bacteria tested. In addition, all bacteria tested in this study were resistant to ampicillin, methicillin, penicillin G and vancomycin. According to the results continuous monitoring of antibiotic susceptibilities of bacteria isolated from contact lens storage cases of asymptomatic wearers are needed.
