Résumé

Currently extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESβL) and carbapenemase producing gram-negative bacteria are the greatest concern among the neonatal population with very limited therapeutic options. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of ESβL and carbapenemase producing gram-negative bacilli, associated factors and antimicrobial resistance patterns among neonates in intensive care units. An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted from February to June 2021 on 212 neonates in intensive care units. Risk factors data were collected by using a well-designed questionnaire. A rectal swab sample was collected using a sterile cotton swab and inoculated on MacConkey agar. Bacterial isolates were identified using various biochemical tests. ESβL and carbapenemase were first screened by indicator cephalosporins (cefotaxime (30µg) and ceftazidine (30µg)) and carbapenem (meropenem and ertapenem), respectively. ESβL and carbapenemase were confirmed by a double-disk synergy test and modified carbapenem inactivation methods, respectively. SPSS version 21.0 was used for data analysis. A P-value ≤ 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. The overall prevalence of ESβL-producing gram-negative bacilli was 72/212 (34%). The predominant ESβL-producing isolate was A high prevalence of ESβL-producing bacterial isolates was observed for commonly used antibiotics which needs further attention. Therefore, continuous and regular follow-ups of drug resistance patterns is important for the proper treatment and management of ESβL and carbapenemase producing gram-negative bacilli.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Currently extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESβL) and carbapenemase producing gram-negative bacteria are the greatest concern among the neonatal population with very limited therapeutic options. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of ESβL and carbapenemase producing gram-negative bacilli, associated factors and antimicrobial resistance patterns among neonates in intensive care units.
METHODS METHODS
An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted from February to June 2021 on 212 neonates in intensive care units. Risk factors data were collected by using a well-designed questionnaire. A rectal swab sample was collected using a sterile cotton swab and inoculated on MacConkey agar. Bacterial isolates were identified using various biochemical tests. ESβL and carbapenemase were first screened by indicator cephalosporins (cefotaxime (30µg) and ceftazidine (30µg)) and carbapenem (meropenem and ertapenem), respectively. ESβL and carbapenemase were confirmed by a double-disk synergy test and modified carbapenem inactivation methods, respectively. SPSS version 21.0 was used for data analysis. A P-value ≤ 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
RESULTS RESULTS
The overall prevalence of ESβL-producing gram-negative bacilli was 72/212 (34%). The predominant ESβL-producing isolate was
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
A high prevalence of ESβL-producing bacterial isolates was observed for commonly used antibiotics which needs further attention. Therefore, continuous and regular follow-ups of drug resistance patterns is important for the proper treatment and management of ESβL and carbapenemase producing gram-negative bacilli.
