ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE OF STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS AND ESCHERICHIA COLI STRAINS ISOLATED FROM THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT PATIENS IN THANH NHAN HOSPITAL

Abstract

The objective of the study was to describe the antibiotic resistance situation of hospital-acquired strains of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus isolated from patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of Thanh Nhan Hospital - Ha in 2016. In this study, the patient samples had cultured, performed the antibiogram and then carried out a cross-sectional description. Rerults shown that 25 strains of Staphylococcus aureus (accounting for 7.5%) and 38 strains of Escherichia coli (accounting for 11.48%) were isolated from 1434 cultured hospital infection samples. Staphylococcus aureus had a rate of resistance to carbapenem group of 62.5%, ampicilline of 95% and were still fully sensitive to vancomycine. Escherichia coli had a resistance rate to cephalosporins group from 45.5% to 60.5%, carbapenems such as meropenem, imipenem, ertapenem had a low resistance rate of less than 9.1%.
