Abstract
To determine the antimicrobial resistance profiles
among clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae in Taiwanese
intensive care units (ICUs), a national surveillance of
antibiotic resistance among important Enterobacteriaceae
was conducted from September 2005 through November
2005 at the ICUs of ten major teaching hospitals in Taiwan.
A total of 574 Enterobacteriaceae isolates recovered from
various clinical samples of our ICU patients were submitted
for in vitro test. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs)
of these isolates to 18 antimicrobial agents were determined
by the broth microdilution method. The prevalences of
Enterobacteriaceae isolates with phenotypic extendedspectrum
β-lactamase (ESBL) production were 26% in
Klebsiella pneumoniae, 16% in Serratia marcescens, 14%
in Escherichia coli, and 13% in Proteus mirabilis, in which
a significantly rising prevalence of ESBL production
among K. pneumoniae was noted (p=0.002) when compared
with a previous Taiwanese survey in 2000.
