ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The emergence of multidrug-resistant organisms, such as extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE), and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) is a public health concern. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the magnitude of carbapenemase and ESBL producing bacteria isolated from patients affected by Urinary Tract Infection (UTI).METHODS:
A cross-sectional study was conducted from December 2018 to March 2019 at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital. A total of 120 Enterobacteriaceae isolates from UTI patients were collected and identified on species level using standard microbiological methods. Antimicrobial susceptibility test was determined according to the guidelines of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. Detection of ESBL production was carried out by using ESBL ChromoSelect Agar medium and the combined disk diffusion. Production of carbapenemase was determined by using Hodge-test and modified carbapenem inactivation method as described in CLSI guidelines.RESULTS:
Out of the total 120 Enterobacteriaceae isolates, 74 (61.7%) were ESBL-producers, and 8 (6.7%) were carbapenemase producers. The most common ESBL producing isolate was E.coli 38 (51.4%) and the most common carbapenemase-producing isolate was K.pneumoniae five (62.5%). Most of the ESBL and carbapenemase-producing isolates were recovered from hospitalized patients 46 (62.2%) and 7 (87.5%) respectively. The rate of ESBL and CPE production was observed high among patients taking antibiotics 64.8% (59/91) and 7.7% (7/91) respectively, but no significant association was observed p > 0.05. Furthermore, about 1.7% (2/120) isolates were found both ESBL and carbapenemase producers. Significant resistances rates were observed in ESBL and CPE isolates.CONCLUSION:
Enterobacteriaceae isolates showed a significantly higher rate of ESBL production. A significant figure of carbapenemase production was observed among Enterobacteriaceae isolates causing UTI. The production of ESBL and CPE enhanced for an increased rate of MDR patterns. Efforts need to be made to introduce a system for tracking and detecting ESBL-PE and CPE-producing bacteria in hospitals, and monitoring dissemination of ESBL and CPE-producing Enterobacteriaceae is strongly recommended.Palabras clave
