Özet
Background: Acinetobacter spp. is a gram negative bacilli and very important hospital environment especially treating of Acinetobacter infections.Purpose: The objective of this work was to determine the antibiotic resistance rates of Acinetobacter spp.isolated from various clinical specimens (tracheal aspirates, blood and urine) between January 2015 and December 2015.Methods: The new BD Phoenix automated microbiology system is designed for automated rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing and identification of clinically relevant bacteria.The microdilution method was used to the MIC values.Susceptibility results were evaluated using 2012 EUCAST criteria.Results: The recent results revealed that susceptibilities of the isolates to ampicillin-sulbactam, imipenem, meropenem, cefepime and ciprofloxacin were highest (71 %) while susceptibilities to trimetroprim/sulfamethoxale and gentamycin (25 %) were lowest.Colistin was found to be the most effective drug.All of 7 Acinetobacter spp.strains showed Multiple Antibiotic Resistance (MAR) to ten antibiotics.Conclusion: Antibiotic susceptibility testing results should be considered for selecting optimal antimicrobial therapy.High antibiotic resistance demands a good knowledge of resistance profile in order to determine empirical treatment.
