Survey of Hospital Drains Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria for Hygiene and Health Care

The antimicrobial susceptibility of twelve bacterial
isolates obtained from different three hospital drains in Cairo, Egypt
isolated within three months was determined, using agar diffusion
method. Only twelve out of twenty-eight antibiotic resistant bacterial
isolates were selected according to their sensitivity for equal or more
than two antibiotics used. Isolates from hospital drains were
subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing and the percent of
resistance bacteria were subjected to thirteen antibiotics as the
following: CN (58.3%), CAZ (91.7%), CTX (91.7%), TOB (83.3%),
CEP (83.3%), IPM (25.0%), SXT (33.3%), VA (75.0%), AK
(25.0%), SAM (58.3%), FEP (50.0%), CIP (8.3%), and CRO
(75.0%). The relationship between plasmid and antibiotic resistant
bacteria explained from pharmaceutical products isolates and
detected two plasmids while isolates from hospital drains detected
also two plasmids and one isolate detected four plasmids.
