Antibiotic sensitivity pattern of bacterial pathogens in the intensive care unit of Fatmawati Hospital, Indonesia

Abstract

Most bacteria isolated from ICU of Fatmawati Hospital Jakarta Indonesia were resistant to the third generation of cephalosporins, and quinolone antibiotics. Regular surveillance of antibiotic susceptibility patterns is very important for setting orders to guide the clinician in choosing empirical or directed therapy of infected patients.

Antimicrobial activity of green tea extract against isolates of methicillin–resistant Staphylococcus aureus and multi–drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa

“…In the past few decades, MRSA and MDR-P. aeruginosa become an increasingly important pathogen in both hospitals and community settings [4,19] , MRSA and MDR-P. aeruginosa play an important role in the colonization and infection of hospitalized patients. These bacteria are often implicated in a variety of nosocomial infections including bacteremia, urinary tract infections, and nosocomial pneumonia.…”

“…In Indonesia, the predominant multi-resistant bacteria that causes the infection such as P. aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli and methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) (MRSA) have been found in several hospitals in Indonesia [4][5][6][7] .…”

Prevalence and antibiogram study of Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus in poultry meat

“…Resistant S. aureus is more frequently associated with nosocomial infections in hospitals, and even in intensive care units (ICU) in many of the developing countries [35] . In antibiogram study for S. aureus isolates from meat origin, Heo et al reported 92.9% and 50% resistance of tetracycline and ampicillin respectively [15] .…”

Molecular Characterization of Staphylococcus epidermidis Isolates Collected From an Intensive Care Unit

“…High rate of resistance to cephalexin and also levofloxacin was detected among S. epidermidis isolates (18).…”
