Prevalence of Bacterial Isolates Related to the Meningitis and Bacteremia in two Hospitals During 2016-2017

Results: Frequencies of bacterial isolates in Bouali and Imam Hospitals for meningitis (1.9%, 3.5%), bacteremia (31.9%, 26.3%), and urinary tract infection (UTI) were screened (66.2%, 70.1%). Staphylococcus aureus (41.7%) and Streptococcus pneumoniae (45%) were the highest isolates of meningitis in the mentioned hospital. These values to bacteremia were as follows: Gram-negative Staphylococci (30.7%), Escherichia coli (30%). Coagulasenegative Staphylococci isolates recovered from meningitis were completely sensitive to ciprofloxacin and Gentamycin. In addition, P. aeruginosa, Klebsiella and Acinetobacter spp showed higher than 90% resistance against ampicillin. E. coli, Klebsiella spp and S. aureus showed 100% resistance to amoxiclav; while Klebsiella spp were completely sensitive to amoxiclav.
