Prevalence and antibacterial sensitivity of pathogens isolated from blood culture from Sections patients received in Afzalipour Hospital, Kerman lab, 1396

Introduction and Objectives: Blood stream infections are a vast range of disorders, that can differ from limited bacteremia to mortal septicemia. According to the increasing antibiotic resistance among strains of bacteria, the purpose of this study was to determine the pattern in the antibiotic resistance patterns of bacteria strains in the blood stream isolated in patients, referring to in Afzalipour Hospital, Kerman. Materials and Methods: Clinical data was collected from patients with positive blood cultures for one-year period. Standard laboratory methods were used for blood culture. Antibiotic sensitivity was tested using Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Results: Of the 262 bacterial pathogens isolated from patients, 56.1% were gram-positive and 43.9% were gram-negative. The common isolates were: Staphylococci species 141 (54.1%), Streptococcus species 3 (1.1%), Escherichia coli 20 (7.6%), Klebsiella spp. 45 (17.1%), Pseudomonas spp. 30 (11.4%), Enterococcus 3 (1.1%), Acinetobacter spp. 20 (7.6%). The most effective antibiotic against Gram positive isolates was vancomycin and the most effective antibiotic against Gram negative isolates was ciprofloxacin.Conclusion: This study provides information on antibiotic resistance of blood isolates. It may be a useful guide for physician antibiotic therapy and will help in formulation of antibiotic therapy strategy in this part of the country.
