Table KWH-1. Antibiogram for common bacterial isolates, Kwong Wah Hospital, 2021
- Non-duplicate isolates from blood, urine and respiratory specimens. Interpreted according to CLSI.
- There is no interpretative criteria for Sulperazon in CLSI standard.
- Nitrofurantoion susceptibility test performed on urine isolates only.
- For All Units (execpt ICU/DHU): Overall prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) were 28% for E.coli, 13% for Klebsiella species. ESBL-producing strains should be interpreted as resistant to all penicillins, cephalosporins and aztreonam.
- % of Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus among Staphylococcus aureus isolated from blood, urine and respiratory specimens: 56% in non-ICU & -HDU and 28% in ICU & HDU.
- Adult Intensive Care Units and High Dependency Unit : Overall prevalance of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) were 28% for E.coli, 13% for Klebsiella species. ESBL-producing strains should be interpreted as resistant to all penicillins, cephalosporins and aztreonam.
- For staphylococci that test susceptible, gentamicin is used only in combination with other active agents that test susceptible.
- Overall prevalance of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) were 32% for E.coli (33% in the group ≧ 3d of adm, 32% in the group within ≦ 2d of adm). ESBL-producing strains should be interpreted as resistant to all penicillins, cephalosporins and aztreonam.
- Overall prevalance of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) were 9% for Klebsiella pneumoniae complex (0% in the group ≧ 3d of adm, 10% in the group within ≦ 2d of adm). ESBL-producing strains should be interpreted as resistant to all penicillins, cephalosporins and aztreonam.
- Staphylococcus aureus include both Methicillin sensitive and Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
