The situation of antibiotic resistance on pathogens at three hospitals in Khanh Hoa province, 2020

Abstract

Antibiotic resistance is the greatest threat to public health in the world. Within that, Vietnam is one of the countries that is experiencing the increasing threat of antibiotic resistance. The research was conducted on 574 medical records of discharged patients in 2020 at three hospitals in Khanh Hoa province, to describe the situation of antibiotic resistance on pathogens. The result shows that the hospital infection rate is 4%, the risk factors that cause hospital infection include age, duration of hospital admission, and invasive procedure (p < 0.05). Bacteria isolated Khanh Hoa and Ninh Hoa General Hospital: E.coli was the highest rate (28.1% and 30.2%), the lowest rate was Acinetobacter spp (2.3%). At Cam Ranh General Hospital, Enterobacter spp was the highest rate (42.9%) and the lowest was Acinetobacter spp (14.3%). At all three hospitals, Acinetobacter spp resists 100% with the majority of antibiotics. However, at the Ninh Hoa and Cam Ranh hospitals, Acinetobacter spp is sensitive to Amikacine, Imipenem, Ciprofloxacin. E.coli: resists >
70% with Ampicillin and third - generation Cephalosporin class; sensitive > 92% with Amikacine, and Carbapenem class.
