Abstract

Objective: Bacteria develop resistance to many antibiotics by using different mechanisms. The resistance of bacteria secreting extended-spectrum beta-lactamases to many antibiotics limits our treatment options. In this study, we investigated the in vitro efficacies of non-beta-lactam antibiotics in Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Klebsiella spp. strains.
Material and Method: In our study, we investigated the presence of ESBL in 97 ESBL-negative (61 E. coli, 36 Klebsiella spp.) and 54 ESBL-positive (33 E. coli, 21 Klebsiella spp.) strains of nosocomial origin isolated from blood culture through a phenotypic confirmation test. We determined in vitro efficacies of aminoglycoside and quinolone group antibiotics by the agar dilution method.
Results: The susceptibility rates of ESBL-producing and non-producing strains were 81.4% -48.1% to ciprofloxacin, 85.5%-50% to levofloxacin, 81.4%-46.3% to ofloxacin and moxifloxacin, 99%-37% to gentamicin, 97.9%-57.4% to netilmicin, and 99%-96.2% to amikacin, respectively.
Conclusion: In our study, we found that all aminoglycoside and quinolone group antibiotics showed low efficacies.Amikacin had the highest in vitro activity in E. coli and Klebsiellaspp. strains.

Genişlemiş spektrumlu beta-laktamaz üreten ve üretmeyen Klebsiella spp. ve Escherichia coli suşlarında beta-laktam dışı antibiyotiklerin in vitro etkinliğinin değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Bakteriler birçok antibiyotiklere farklı mekanizmaları kullanarak direnç geliştirmektedir. Genişlemiş spektrumlu beta-laktamaz (GSBL)-üreten bakterilerin pek çok antibiyotiğe karşı dirençli olmaları tedavi seçeneklerimizi kısıtlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada in vitro olarakEscherichia coli (E. coli) ve Klebsiellaspp.suşlarında beta-laktamdışıantibiyotiklerinetkinliğiniaraştırdık.
