ANTIBIOTICS RESISTANCE AND OUTCOMES OF SEPSIS IN HUE CENTRAL HOSPITAL FROM 2009 TO 2010
Objective: Sepsis is a very important infection. Studying the antibiotic resistance helps doctors to make the right choice for treatment of infections and reduce mortality. Materials and methods: 60 patients diagnosed as sepsis treated at Hue Central hospital, since Jan 2009 to June 2010. Retrospective study. Results: The most isolated agents are E. coli (40% patients), K. pneumoniae (16.7%) and Streptococcus suis (18.3%). Most of agents sensitive to ceftriaxon, ciprofloxacin và gentamicin. 100% sensitive to imipenem. All agents, except S. suis, are resistant to ampicillin. Agents resistant to ceftriaxon, ciprofloxacin and gentamicin have very high mortality (E. coli: 87.5% vs. 43.7%. S. suis : 66.7% vs. 25%). Conclusions: The most isolated agents are E. coli, K. pneumoniae and S. suis. Most of agents sensitive to ceftriaxon, ciprofloxacin và gentamicin. All agents, except S. suis, are resistant to ampicillin. Agents resistant to ceftriaxon, ciprofloxacin and gentamicin have very high mortality.
