Two topmost pathogens responsible for causing bloodstream infections (BSIs), the most common hospital-acquired infection, have been found to be resistant to the antibiotic imipenem among ICU patients, an ICMR study has found. These two pathogens are Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumannii . Besides, two other pathogens Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecium causing BSIs were resistant to the antibiotics oxacillin and vancomycin, respectively, the study stated.
Normally these antibiotics work on patients not suffering from BSIs. Bacteria Acinetobacter spp was the most common pathogen responsible for ventilator associated pneumonia, according to the ICMR's annual report 2023 which provides comprehensive details of bloodstream infections (BSIs), urinary tract infections (UTIs) and ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) reported from January 2023 to December 2023 from a network of 39 hospitals across India. The network hospitals in this report are part of the ICMR's AMR network and hospitals that have voluntarily joined the network, said senior ICMR scientist Dr Kamini Walia, who led the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) study.
