MICROBIAL PATHOGENESIS, INFECTIOUS DISEASE,
ANTIMICROBIALS AND DRUG RESISTANCE
D
ue to the elevated number of nosocomial infections and
its relation with intra-hospital morbidity and mortality
levels, it iscrucial toevaluatetheresponsibleagents inorder to
improve patients’ care. This is an observational, retrospective
and transversal study performed at theHospital da Santa Casa
de Misericórdia de Vitória, involving 511 patients infected
between July 2014 and June 2016. Data on blood culture
samples were collected from the database of the Hospital
Infection Control Committee (CCIH). For blood culture,
sheep blood agar (SBA), chocolate agar and MacConkey’s
agar (MAC), after culture in an automated blood culture
system were used. Microbial identification and susceptibility
profile evaluation were performed using the MicroScan
auto SCAN-4 (Beckman Coulter®) automated system. The
study describes four bacterias in detail:
Acinetobacter
spp.,
Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and S.
aureus
. The study found that the least active antimicrobials
against S. aureus were nalidixic acid and ampicillin, while
the most active were amikacin and cefazolin. Secondly, the
least active antimicrobials against
Acinetobacter spp
. were
aztreonam and ertapenem, whereas the most active were
polymyxin and rifampicin. Furthermore, the least active
antimicrobials against
K. pneumoniae
were ampicillin and
ampicillin/sulbactam, while the most active were amikacin
and cefoxitin. Finally, the least active antimicrobials against
P. aeruginosa
were ceftriaxone and cefotaxime, while the
most active were erythromycin and polymyxin. Physicians
often have difficulty in establishing the susceptibility profile
of the etiologic agent of an infection. Thus, knowledge about
antimicrobial resistance from the hospital is fundamental,
improving clinical management of patients.
