Prevalence of Pseudomonas aeruginosaand Acinetobacterbaumannii the isolation from clinical specimens of patients at Roi Et Hospital, Roi Et Province, Thailand

Abstract

Nosocomial infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacterbaumannii are public health problems in Thailand and worldwide. Infected patients had high mortality especially those with septicemia. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of infectious diseases caused byP. aeruginosa and A. baumannii among patients who were admitted at RoiEt Hospital, Roi Et Province, Thialand. This study was conducted from data bases of the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory of RoiEt Hospital during 2012 to 2015. Data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics. During 2012 to 2015 the total numbers of P. aeruginosa were 7,053 isolates with 1,831 multidrug resistant isolates. The prevalence rates were 13.84 %, 13.09 %, 13.13 % and 11.68 %respectivelyand the prevalence rate of multidrug resistant P. aeruginosawere 3.87%, 3.81%, 2.77% and 3.02 % respectively.6,011 isolatesof A. baumannii with 2,958 multidrug resistant isolates were reported.  The prevalence rates were 13.87 %, 8.92 %, 10.06 %and 6.74 % respectivelyand the prevalence rate of multidrug resistant A. baumanniiwere 4.23%, 4.54 %, 5.87% and 6.74 % respectively. Conclusion, during 2013 to 2015, the prevalence ofinfectious diseases caused byP. aeruginosawas higher than A. baumannii but the prevalence of multidrug resistant A. baumannii was higher P. aeruginosa.
