Antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli isolates obtained from burn patients

Öz

Bacterial resistance to widely used antibiotics is an emerging global health issue and causes a huge problem in burn patients. Despite important developments in antimicrobial treatments, the risk of infection-associated mortality rate in burn patients is comparatively high. Escherichia coli is one of the most common causative agents of burn wound infections. Therefore, this study aimed to identify and characterize E. coli isolates from burn wounds using the VITEK 2 system and to test their antibiotic resistance to the most commonly used antibiotics with the disc diffusion method. In our study, of 147 clinical samples obtained from burn patients, 25 (%17) were detected as positive for E. coli. All these isolates were found to be resistant to cephalothin, cephradine, piperacillin, and rifampin antibiotics. The resistance to amoxicillin+clavulanic acid and ampicillin was 96% (± 8%), which was followed by amikacin and cefotaxime with a 92% (± 11%) resistance rate. On the other hand, imipenem (96% ± 8%), tetracycline (88% ± 13%), and gentamicin (76% ± 17%) were the antibiotics that showed the highest sensitivity against E. coli isolates. The multidrug-resistant bacteria are one of the main issues for clinical applications, so their characterization is vital in developing a proper treatment strategy. This study concluded that E. coli exists in burn wounds and might cause wound infection due to its resistance to different antibiotics.
