ABSTRACT

The present study was conducted with a view to assess the burden of pseudomonal infection in ICU patients of a tertiary care teaching hospital in Uttaranchal. Of the 525 patients selected for the study, during a 1-year period, 60 patients developed features of nosocomial infection and among them Pseudomonas was isolated from one or more samples in 18 patients. The isolated strains were speciated and further characterized for determining their antibiogram and for production of beta-lactamase, extended spectrum beta-lactamase and metallo-beta-lactamase enzymes. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the commonest species isolated (54.54%) and endotracheal suction material showed the highest bacterial yield. Polymyxin B was found to be the most effective antibiotic followed by imipenem and carbenicillin. Though no strain was found to be producing beta-lactamase and extended spectrum beta-lactamase enzymes, a total of 12 strains (54.54%) were metallo-beta-lactamase producers. For all the beta lactam antibiotics, excepting aztreonam, the metallo-beta-lactamase producers showed more resistance compared to the non-producers.

ABSTRACT

Se tipificaron 122 cepas de Pseudomonas aisladass de procesos patológicos variados, y se estudió la actividad in vitro de Piperacilina por discos y CIM, en forma conjunta con otras dos penicilinas semisintéticas, Carbenicilina y Mezlocilina y dos aminoglucósidos, Amicacina y Gentamicina. Las cepas aisladas correspondieron a: P. aeruginosa 116, P. cepacia 3, P. fluorecens 1 y P. putida 2. Se comprobó que 110 cepas de P. aeruginosa, 1 de P. cepacia y 1 de P. fluorescens, fueron sensibles a Piperacilina, estando estas sensibilidades por encima de las otras penicilinas estudiadas. Las cifras obtenidas con los aminoglucósidos ensayados, son similares para P. aeruginosa. Con respecto a CIM50 y CIM90 los resultados alcanzados con Piperacilina y relacionados con las dos penicilinas semisintéticas estudiadas, están muy alejados de los valores mínimos de sensibilidad, habiéndose observado, en relación a los aminoglucósidos, que si éstos no llegan al valor mínimo de sensibilidad, Piperacilina mantiene sus cifras por encima de los mismos, lo cual resulta importante desde el punto de vista terapéutico
