İdrar Yolu Enfeksiyonlarinin Ampirik Tedavisinde İlk Seçenek Antimikrobikler Neler Olmalı?

Öz

 

Amaç: Çalışmamızın amaçları, 2011-2012 tarihleri arasında, alt üriner sistem enfeksiyonu (ÜSE) tanılı poliklinik hastalarından izole edilen mikroorganizmaların dağılımı, antibiyotik direnç profillerinin araştırılması ve uygun ampirik tedavi seçeneklerinin belirlenmesidir.

Materyal ve Metot: 2011–2012 tarihleri arasında, hastanemiz polikliniklerinden alt ÜSE ön tanısı ile gönderilen 14096 idrar örneğinin kültür / antibiyogram sonuçları retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Tekrarlayan üremeler hariç tutularak toplam 2005 örnekteki üremeler değerlendirmeye alındı. Kültür ve identifikasyon testleri konvansiyonel/yarı otomatik ve otomatik yöntemlerle yapıldı. Antibiyotik duyarlılık testleri CLSI (Clinical Laboratory Standarts Institute) önerileri doğrultusunda Kirby-Bauer disk difüzyon yöntemiyle gerçekleştirildi.

Bulgular: Örneklerin %83,7’sinde Enterobacteriaceae üyeleri üredi.  Bunların 1287’si (%64,2) E.coli; 238’i (%11,9) K.pneumoniae idi. Toplam 67 (%3,3) örnekte P.aeruginosa üredi. Gram-pozitif üremelerin oranı; 55’i (%2,7) metisiline dirençli koagülaz negatif stafiolokok, 55’i (%2,7) E.faecalis, 49’u (%2,4) S.agalactia v.b. olmak üzere %12,86 idi. Genişlemiş spektrumlu beta laktamaz prevalansı E.coli izolatlarında %23,2; K.pneumonia izolatlarında %25,4 olarak belirlendi. Gerek Gram-pozitif, gerekse Gram-negatif izolatlarda, oral kullanımı olan antimikrobikler içinde nitrofurantoin (NF) en düşük direnç oranına sahipti (sırasıyla %2,7 ve %12,1). Öte yandan Gram-pozitif bakteriler için ampisilin (%6,3), Gram-negatif bakteriler için ise sefuroksim (%25,9) en düşük direnç oranlarına sahip diğer oral tedavi seçenekleri olarak belirlendi.

Sonuç: Yetişkin yaş grubundaki poliklinik hastalarımızın alt ÜSE enfeksiyonlarında NF en geniş antibakteriyel etki spektrumuna sahip oral ilaç olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Ampisiline duyarlı Gram-pozitif izolatların (Enterokokspp. hariç) sefuroksime de duyarlı olacağı düşünülürse, ikinci en geniş spektrumlu oral ilacın sefuroksim olduğu söylenebilir. Sanford, IDSA v.b. tedavi kılavuzlarında NF, trimetoprim sulfametoksazol (TMP-SXT), ilk veya ikinci tedavi seçeneği olarak önerilmekle birlikte çalışmamızda bu oran %35 düzeyinde bulunduğu için TMP-SXT, hasta grubumuz için uygun bir tedavi seçeneği gibi görünmemektedir.

Which Antibiotics Should be the First Choice for Empiric Therapy of Urinary Tract Infections?

Abstract

 

Objectives: The aims of the study were to investigate the distribution and the antibiotic resistance profiles of the microorganisms isolated from outpatients with lower urinary tract infection (UTI) during 2011-2012 period and to determine the most appropriate empirical therapy choices.

Materials and Methods: Culture and susceptibility test results of 14.096 urine samples sent from outpatient clinics with presumptive lower UTI diagnosis in the last year (2011-2012) were reviewed. Excluding the duplications, totally 2005 isolates were evaluated. Culture and identification tests were done by conventional/semi-automatic and automatic methods. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were performed by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method according to the recommendations of CLSI (Clinical Laboratory Standarts Institute).

Results: Enterobacteriaceae spp. were isolated from 82.3% of the urine samples; 1287 (64.2%) Escherichia coli and 238 (11.9%) Klebsiella pneumonia, 67 (3.3%) Pseudomonas aeruginosa was cultivated. Totally 12.9% of the samples yielded Gram-positive bacteria including 55 (2.8%) meticillin resistant coagulase negative staphylococci, 55 (2.8%) Enterococcus faecalis and 49 (2.4%) Streptococcus agalactiae. The extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) prevalence was 23.2% in E.coli and 25.4% in K.pneumoniae. Among oral antibiotics tested, nitrofurantoin (NF) had the lowest resistance rates for both Gram-positive and Gram-negative isolates with 2.7% and 12.1%, respectively.  Ampicillin for Gram-positives and Cefuroxim for Gram-negatives were other oral drugs with the lowest resistance rates with 6.3% and 25.9%, respectively.

Conclusion: NF appears as the most effective oral drug for adult outpatients with UTI. Cefuroxim can be considered as the second effective choice because ampicillin-sensitive Gram-positive isolates (except Enterococcus spp) would also be sensitive to it. NF and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) is suggested as first or second choice in UTI treatment in antimicrobial therapy guidelines like Sanford and IDSA. However, TMP-SMX resistance was found 35% in our population; consequently it is not a suitable option for our patients.
