Assessment of Agents and Resistant Patterns of Nosocomial Urinary Tract Infection by Epsilometer Test (E-Test) Method in a Tertiary Hospital
Urinary tract infection is an important cause of nosocomial infections. The purpose of this study was to determine the bactereuria and antimicrobial susceptibility by Epsilometer test (E-test) method among the patients hospitalized in Labafinejad hospital, Tehran, Iran.
In this observational descriptive cross-sectional study, 84 consecutive hospitalized cases in Labbafinejad hospital during the years 2017-2018 were enrolled, and the antimicrobial susceptibility among them was determined by E-test method based on the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI).
The resistance to gentamicin, ampicillin, colistin, ciprofloxacin, ceftriaxone, vancomycin, imipenem, and meropenem was seen in 31.0%, 54.5%, 14.9%, 45.9%, 50.0%, 33.3%, 66.7%, and 25.7%, respectively.
According to the obtained results in this study, it may be concluded that antibiotic resistance to imipenem, ampicillin, ceftriaxone, and ciprofloxacin is significantly high in nosocomial UTI cases, and development of strategies is required to improve the treatment course.
