The Antibiotics Susceptibility Profile of Acinetobacter spp Isolated from Clinical Specimens in University Teaching Hospital

The genus Acinetobacter currently contains 34 species, the vast majority of which are not regularly implicated in causing infection. However, Carbapenems have long been thought as agents choice for serious baumannii infections. objective this study is to determine Antibiotics susceptibility profile spp Isolated from clinical specimen University Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin. descriptive cross-sectional conducted UITH located North Central Nigeria. 10 strains spp. were isolated samples between February July 2018. identified using standard microbiological methods, API20NE. Antimicrobial was performed Modified Kirby Bauer method with organism tested against Amoxicillin, Amoxicillin-Clavulanate, Ceftriaxone, Cefixime, Cefuroxime, Streptomycin, Perfloxacin, Gentamicin, Imipenem, Nitrofurantoin. Most antibiotics used mostly multi-drug resistant. Amoxicillin (100%), Clavulanate Cefuroxime Gentamicin Nitrofurantoin Ceftriaxone (100%) but 80% susceptible Imipenem. best antibiotic treatment option infections arising these organisms although a coordinated rational usage desired along functional prescription policy avoid failures. Continuous monitoring resistance patterns necessary strengthen infection control policies.
