RESISTANCE PATTERNS OF PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA ISOLATED AT BAC NINH PROVINCE GENERAL HOSPITAL IN 2023
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen with intrinsic and acquired resistance to multiple antibiotics, posing a significant challenge in clinical settings. Methods: A cross-sectional study assessed the distribution patterns and antibiotic resistance profiles of P. aeruginosa isolates collected from Bac Ninh Province General Hospital in 2023. Results: The prevalence of P. aeruginosa infection was 2.0% (115/5,792). The majority of strains were isolated from respiratory specimens (63.5%), and patients aged ≥60 years (54.8%). The highest resistance rates were observed for ticarcillin-clavulanate (78.1%), levofloxacin (66.7%), and meropenem (62.4%), while resistance to other tested antibiotics ranged from 40% to 60%. Conclusion: Although the prevalence of P. aeruginosa infection at Bac Ninh Province General Hospital is relatively low, the high levels of antibiotic resistance, underscore the urgent need for continuous antimicrobial resistance surveillance and robust infection control measures.
