Antimicrobial resistance poses a global threat, and ESKAPE pathogens exhibit high levels of antibiotic resistance in pus swabs from Muhimbili National Hospital.
Antimicrobial resistance has persisted as a global threat with increasing associated numbers of morbidity and mortality. ESKAPE (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter spp.) were termed by the Infectious Diseases Society of America as a group of bacteria with rapid antibiotic resistance development. The aim of the study was to describe the extent and resistance patterns of ESKAPE pathogens isolated in pus swabs from patients admitted at Muhimbili National Hospital, Tanzania. A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed in August 2019. A total of 75 admitted patients with open wounds and surgical site infections were recruited. Files were analyzed to collect microbiology laboratory data and relevant patient data. A total of 76 clinically significant bacteria were isolated of which 52 bacteria were categorized as ESKAPE pathogens. The most common bacteria isolated were 25% (n = 19/76) P. aeruginosa and 17.1% S. aureus. A high level of antibiotic resistance was shown in all ESKAPE and non-ESKAPE pathogens. The Gram-negative bacteria of ESKAPE pathogens were further analyzed comparing 3(rd) generation cephalosporin and carbapenems resistance patterns. A. baumannii showed the highest resistance towards 3(rd) generation cephalosporin and carbapenems. In addition, P. aeruginosa showed high resistance to 3(rd) generation cephalosporins with 89.5% resistance, with E. coli showing high resistance to carbapenems with 50.0% resistance. The burden of ESKAPE pathogens is high in pus swabs obtained from admitted patients at Muhimbili National Hospital. The results showed high antibiotic resistance within ESKAPE and non-ESKAPE pathogens including the last resort antibiotics: 3(rd) generation cephalosporin and carbapenems.
