ANTIMICROBIAL SUSCEPTIBILITY PATTERNS OF PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA ISOLATED AT HAI PHONG INTERNATIONAL HOSPITAL IN 2023
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: Antimicrobial resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa has recently emerged as a significant concern in the context of infections. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of P. aeruginosa isolated at Hai Phong International General Hospital in 2023. Results: The result revealed that the prevalence of P. aeruginosa was 1,3% (65 out of 4853), with the respiratory tract being the most frequent source of isolates. P. aeruginosa showed the highest susceptibility to piperacillin-tazobactam (78,5%). Notably, a significant portion (26,2%) of P. aeruginosa displayed multidrug resistance, with all being reduced susceptibility to ceftazidime, cefepime, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin and imipenem. Conclusions: This study underscored the common occurrence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and its increasing reduced susceptibility to commonly used antibiotics. The study emphasizes the importance of infection control and judicious antibiotic use to mitigate the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains.
