Résumé

The incidence of hospital-acquired enterobacteria that produce extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) is on the rise worldwide. Colonization of gastrointestinal tract by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase Enterobacteriaceae, a prominent causative agent, results in life-threatening infections.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
The incidence of hospital-acquired enterobacteria that produce extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) is on the rise worldwide. Colonization of gastrointestinal tract by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase Enterobacteriaceae, a prominent causative agent, results in life-threatening infections.
OBJECTIVE OBJECTIVE
To determine the rate of gastrointestinal colonization by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase- and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae and also to elucidate the antibiotic susceptibility profile and associated risk factors among hospitalized patients in Arba Minch General Hospital, Ethiopia.
METHODOLOGY METHODS
A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Arba Minch General Hospital from May 2018 to July 2019. Sociodemographic data and associated factors were collected using a pre-tested-structured questionnaire. Stool specimens were collected using sterile stool cups. Each sample was then inoculated onto MacConkey agar. Bacterial isolates were identified using various biochemical tests. Screening and confirmatory tests for extended-spectrum beta-lactamase- and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae were performed using the modified Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion technique. Statistical package for Social Science was used to analyze the data. The P-value ≤0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
RESULTS RESULTS
A total of 421 hospitalized patients were enrolled in this study of which there were 240 (57%) females. The mean age of the study participants was 28.8 with SD of 15.7. Majority of participants were in the age range of 25-40 years 179 (42.5%). About 146 (34.7%) participants were found to be colonized by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae. The predominant ESBL-producing isolates were
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
The overall colonization rate of the gastrointestinal tract by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae was prominent. The extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing isolates exhibited a higher level of resistance against the commonly used antibiotics which further needs greater attention.
