his study aimed to determine device associated infection
(DAI) rates and the microbiological and antibiotic resistance
profiles of infecting pathogens in ICUs of Beni-Suef University
Hospital. It is prospective surveillance of healthcare-associated
infections performed to adult and newborn patients admitted to
ICUs during June 2012 to May 2013. Three hundred and three
patients were followed in ICUs for a total of 2,636 patient days.
The total number of DAIs was 78, for an overall rate of 88.5/1000
device days. Ventilator associated pneumonia posed the greatest
risk (68.7 per 1,000 ventilator days in the adult ICU, and 77.7 per
1,000 ventilator days in the neonatal ICU), catheter associated
urinary tract infections (CAUTI) (24.4 per 1,000 catheter days
in the adult ICU), lastly, central line-associated bloodstream
infections (CLABSI) (13.84 per 1,000 catheter days in the adult
ICU, 28.3 per 1,000 catheter days in the neonatal ICU). The most
frequently isolated pathogens in VAP were Acinitobacter Spp.
(75%) in adult ICU and
Klebsiella Spp
. (55%) in neonatal ICU.
Candida Spp. was the leading pathogens in patients with CAUTI.
In CLABSI, Enterococcus Spp. was the most frequently isolated
pathogens (33%) in adult ICU and
Klebsiella Spp
. (45%) in neonatal
ICU. Overall of Staphylococcus aureus infections were caused
by methicillin-resistant strains, and 45.6% of
Pseudomonas
aeruginosa
isolates were resistant to fluoroquinolones and
Tienam, 88.9% were resistant to piperacillin-tazobactam. The
establishments of active infection control programs that involve
infection surveillance have become a priority.
