ABSTRACT
Multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli have
become a main public health distress in Pakistan and many countries, causing
failure in treatment with the resultingenormous health burden. The current study was
aimed to find the prevalence of E. coli among clinical isolates and their
antibiotics susceptibility pattern using standard procedures. The Purpose of
the present study to investigate the Prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility
pattern of E. coli detected from clinical patients visiting Khyber teaching
hospital Peshawar. In this study a total 415 sample were isolated from the
patient of Khyber teaching hospital (KTH) Peshawar. The collected samples were
processed for identification including Gram staining and biochemical test.
Furthermore, the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of all the positive strains
of E. coli was tested using
selected antibiotic discs by disc diffusion method as per CLSI guidelines
2019.A total of 415 samples, 112 clinical isolates yielded the growth of E. coli using standard procedures.
Out of 112 isolates, 52% were recovered from male patients while 60% were
females. The positive samples were obtained from urine (58%), pus (14.3%), swab
(8.9%), sputum (10.7%), and others 8.0% respectively. The highest sensitive
drugs are FOS (99.1%), AK (98.2%), TZP (97.3%), MEM (93.8%), TGC (91.1%), CN
(89.3%), SCF (78.6%), DO (65.2%), CT (60.7%), F (49.1%), ATM (27.7%) AMP
(23.2%), CAZ (23.2%), CPM (22.3%) , CRO (19.6%) ,CTX (13.4%) and the lowest
sensitive drug is CIP which is (7.1%) . The drugs which show high resistance
are CIP (92.9%), CTX (86.6%), CRO (80.4%), CPM (77.7%), CAZ (76.8%), AMP
(76.8%) , ATM (72.3%) , CT( 39.3%) , DO (34.8%), SCF (21.4%),
CN(10.7%),TGC(8.9%), F(8.9%),MEM(6.3%) ,TZP(2.7%),AK (1.8%) ,and the lowest
resistance drug is FOS (0.9%).Drug
resistance monitoring and the epidemiological analysis of patient data are
needed regularly and can be useful for the adequate management of antimicrobial
resistance.
