Assessing the effects of hospital use of antimicrobials on antibiotic sensitivity pattern of resistant microorganisms

Objectives: Assess the hospital use of antibiotics in relation to the sensitivity pattern of the major multi-resistant pathogens: glycopeptide-resistant enterococci, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae (E. coli-Klebsiellas spp), Pseudomonas resistant to carbapenems and multiresistant Acinetobacter baumanii. Material and methods: We conducted a retrospective study of data from 2014. We studied a total of 470 strains, the majority being respiratory samples, urine, blood cultures and other exudates. The bacterial sensitivity study…
