(PA) is a significant cause of nosocomial infections, and increasing antimicrobial resistance complicates management.
To characterize antimicrobial susceptibility trends, we conducted a retrospective study of PA clinical isolates over 10 years (2013-2022) at a tertiary care hospital in Saudi Arabia.
A total of 2,490 PA isolates were analyzed (1,452 from general wards and 1,038 from ICUs). Carbapenem resistance was observed in 40% of isolates; 37.5% were multidrug-resistant (MDR), 5.3% were extensively drug-resistant (XDR), and 3.5% met the criteria for difficult-to-treat resistance (DTR).
This study provides an overview of PA resistance pattern trends in Saudi Arabia and emphasizes the importance of establishing an antimicrobial stewardship program.
肺炎克雷伯菌是医院感染的重要原因,抗菌药物耐药性增加使管理变得复杂。
为了描述抗菌药物敏感性趋势,我们对沙特阿拉伯一家三级医院10年(2013 - 2022年)期间的肺炎克雷伯菌临床分离株进行了一项回顾性研究。
共分析了2490株肺炎克雷伯菌分离株(1452株来自普通病房,1038株来自重症监护病房)。40%的分离株观察到对碳青霉烯类耐药;37.5%为多重耐药(MDR),5.3%为广泛耐药(XDR),3.5%符合难治性耐药(DTR)标准。
本研究概述了沙特阿拉伯肺炎克雷伯菌耐药模式趋势,并强调了建立抗菌药物管理计划的重要性。
