| description | Objectives: Acinetobacter spp. has emerged as a threat to the
healthcare workers throughout the globe, owing to its property
of multidrug resistance. The aim of the present study was to
evaluate the antimicrobial resistance patterns of Acinetobacter
spp. among indoor and out patients in our hospital and compare
the resistance patterns in India and abroad.
Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, which was
carried out over a period of one year, a total of 5593 clinical
specimens of pus and purulent fluids were examined and
antimicrobial resistance pattern for Acinetobacter spp. using
Modified Stoke’s were evaluated. Also a comparison was done
with the other similar studies.
Statistical Analysis: Using the proportions of sensitive and
resistant, the statistical analysis was done. The total, mean and
percentage were calculated by using SPSS.
Results: A high level of antimicrobial multidrug-resistance was
found in almost all the clinical isolate. Our study was also found
to be concordant with the results of other studies.
Conclusion: There is an emerging need for identification of
the genes and mechanisms for multidrug resistance among
Acinetobacter spp. |
