Abstract

Antibiotic resistance is a growing public health problem worldwide. Gram-positive bacteria, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), used to be the biggest concern in the world of antibiotic resistance. More recently, gram-negative bacteria resistant to antibiotics are on the increase worldwide. The aim of this study was to determine the infection and antibiotic resistance profiles of bacterial isolates in the Infectious and Tropical Diseases Department (SMIT) at Fann University Hospital. We carried out a descriptive and retrospective study reviewing medical records for infectious diseases, collected over a 24-month period from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2020. All the patients, diagnosed with bacterial infection with bacterial proof were included in this study. During the study period, 230 cases of bacterial infections were identified from 643 hospitalized patients, a proportion of 35.76%. The study population was predominantly male (56.5%). The main comorbidities were HIV infection (60.43%) and hypertension (7.40%). The main infections diagnosed were bacteremia (63%) and urinary tract infections (36%). Respiratory tract infections were found in 15.2% of patients. Isolated Escherichia, Enterobacter and Klebsiella strains showed high resistance to aminoglycosides, cotrimoxazole, ciprofloxacin and third generation cephalosporins (C3G). Salmonella strains were sensitive to all most all the antibiotics tested except lincomycin. Finally, the resistance of enterobacterial strains isolated to imipenem were low for klebsiella and high for Pseudomonas.
