Colistin Resistance Among Enterobacteriaceae Isolated from Clinical Samples in Benghazi city
Keywords:
Colistin, Strep pneumonia, Staph aureus, wound swabAbstract
The increasing number of multi-resistant Gramnegative bacteria has become a major problem worldwide. This study aimed to estimate the antibacterial activity of colistin against gram-negative bacterial infections isolated from clinical specimens in Benghazi city. The highest number enrolled in the present study was the males 96 while females 70. Pus swab (128) was the highest specimen growth enrolled in this study. The highest bacterial growth was recorded in ages between 22-43 years followed by 44-5- 65 years. Somewhat, Gram-positive bacteria were intermediately susceptible to bacitracin antibiotic. An improved understanding of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of colistin and its methanesulphonate will let the design of appropriate administer medicine procedures to make the most of efficiency while decreasing toxicity and the expansion of resistance.
