Incidence of Multi-Drug Resistant Escherichia<\/strong>
\nColi Isolates from Blood and Urine in Kerbala,<\/strong>
\nIraq.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Abstract<\/strong>
\nEscherichia coli is a common cause of urinary tract infection (UTI) and septicemia\/
\nbactriemia. With the increase of antibiotic resistance among E. coli isolates, monitoring of the
\nincidence of drug resistance became critical for appropriate empiric selection of antibiotic therapy.
\nThe aims of this study are to explore the drug resistance patterns among E. coli isolates from urine
\nand blood in Kerbala, and to identify the antibiotics that might be considered appropriate for
\nempirical treatment for UTI and Septicemia caused by E. coli in the study region. A total of 1637
\nculture results of urine (n=410) and blood (n=1227) were reviewed and analyzed for isolation and
\nidentification of bacteria , antimicrobial susceptibility testing, in addition, patients age and sex.
\nOnly single isolate per patients were considered in the study analyses. E. coli was isolated from 105
\npatients (62 from urine and 43 from blood samples). High resistance rates were documented to
\nAmpicillin (95.7%), Cephalothin (94.0%), Amoxicillin-Clavulanic acid (89.09%), Cefixime
\n(82.7%), Ceftriaxone (78.4%) and Cefotaxime (76.9%). In contrast, high degrees of sensitivity were
\ndetected to Imipenem (100%), Nitrofurantoin (90.2%), Chloramphenicol (81.8%) and Amikacin
\n(76.0%). No significant differences were seen in susceptibility patterns among isolates from blood
\nversus urine. Overall, 67 isolates (63.8%) were multi-drug resistant (MDR), that are resistant to
\nmore than 2 classes of antibiotics. Proportion of MDR isolates among urine samples was higher
\nthan among blood samples (69.4% versus 55.8%). In conclusion: E. coli displayed high resistance
\nrates to several antibiotics. However, Imipenem, Nitrofurantoin, chloramphenicol and amikacin are
\nappropriate for empirical treatment for UTI and Septicemia caused by E. coli inKerbala.
\nContinuous surveillance of drug \u2013resistance is highly recommended.<\/p>\n[\/mhc_text][mhc_button admin_label=”\u0632\u0631” url_new_window=”off” button_style=”off” button_color=”#474747″ button_text_color=”#ffffff” background_layout=”dark” use_icon=”off” font_list=”mhicons” text_orientation=”right” animation=”off” button_fx=”off” button_size=”default” button_font=”off” wide_button=”off” button_url=”https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1FUgM68Tqh35PJ5MqppqD6SBVU9ic82Dx\/view?usp=sharing” button_text=”Research”] [\/mhc_button][\/mhc_column][\/mhc_row][\/mhc_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
