STUDY ON THE SITUATION AND SOME FACTORS RELATED TO BACTERIA PRODUCING CARBAPENEMASE IN PATIENTS WITH COMPLICATED URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS AT CAN THO CENTRAL GENERAL HOSPITAL IN 2021-2022
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Urinary tract infections complicated by multi-drug resistant bacteria have increased in recent times, especially carbapenemase producing bacteria. Objectives: 1). We aim to investigate the rate of carbapenemase producing bacteria in patients with complicated urinary tract infections and some related factors. 2). Investigation of antibiotic resistance status of carbapenemease producing bacteria at Can Tho Central General Hospital in 2021-2022. Subjects and methods:a descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on a total of 81 participants with complicated urinary tract infections inpatient treatment at CanTho Central General Hospital in 2021-2022. Data collection methods were clinical examination, bacteria identification, antibiogram and direct interviews. The Data were analyzed by SPSS 18.0. Results: the prevalence of carbapenemase producing bacteria in patients with complicated urinary tract infections was 28.4%, in which, Klebsiella spp accounted for the highest proportion with 56.5%, followed by E.coli accounting for 39.1%. There are three main factors associated with the prevalence of carbapenemase producing bacteria in patients with complicated urinary tract infections: recurrent urinary tract infection, previous antibiotic use and diabetes mellitus. It was found that the rate of carbapenemase producing bacteria was higher than the other group, with a statistical significance, p<0.05. Klebsiella spp produces carbapenemase which is resistant to most antibiotics, and is moderately sensitive to gentamicin and cotrim. E.coli produces carbapenemase, which is resistant to most antibiotics, and is moderately sensitive to amikacin and nitrofurantoin antibiotics. Conclusion: The rate of carbapenemase producing bacteria in patients is quite high, which the factors are related to recurrent urinary tract infection, previous antibiotic use, and diabetes mellitus.
