Prevalence of Burkholderia cepacia recovered from clinical specimens in the Zainoel Abidin general hospital, Banda Aceh, Indonesia

Abstract: Background and Objectives: Burkholderia cepacia is one of the multiple intrinsic resistant bacteria causing opportunistic infections. The study aimed to determine the distribution of B. cepacia isolates based on types of clinical specimen, hospital wards, and the patient's gender-age and to evaluate their antibiotic susceptibility. Materials and Methods: This study involved isolating, identifying, and testing antibiotic susceptibility of B. cepacia iso- lates recovered from clinical specimens of Dr. Zain… Show more

“…Severe underlying diseases, old age, prolonged bed rest, multiple organ failure, immune damage, prolonged antibiotic exposure, immunosuppressive agents, and invasive surgery are potential risk factors for bloodstream infections caused by B. cepacia . 3 , 6 , 13–15 ICU patients are at particularly high risk of B. cepacia bloodstream infection, and most strains were accordingly isolated from ICUs in the current study (173/49.57%), consistent with studies from other regions. 3 , 6 , 16 The route by which B. cepacia enters the blood system to cause infection is not fully understood.…”
