BACTERIOLOGY AND ANTIMICROBIAL SUSCEPTIBILITY IN CHILDREN CHRONIC SINUSITIS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: Bacteriological findings and antimicrobial susceptibility in children chronic sinusitis Methods: Prospective cross- sectional study on 47 patients from age 5-15 years who have been diagnosed chronic rhinosinusitis at the National Otorhinolaryngology Hospital 9/ 2018 - 7/2019. Results: Anaerobic bacteria culture positive rate 66%, 8 bacterial species were isolated. Common bacteria:S.aureus 45.1%, S.epidermis 19.3%, HI 19.3%. Heamophilus influenzae 18,2%. Prevalence MRSA was hight in 78,6%. Antibiotic groups with high sensitivity include Quinolone (92.9-100%), Linezolid (100%) Amikacin (100%) Cephalosporin 4 (Cefepime 100%) Vancomycin (100%). Ampicillin is less sensitive to bacteria (sensitive 0-17%). Betalactamase-resistant derivatives are 50-100% sensitive but completely resistant to staphylococci (0% sensitive). Cephalosporin 2,3 is highly sensitive to bacteria except S.aureus and S.epidermis (sensitivity is only 14.3-33.3%). Conclusion:. S.aureus, S.epidermis and HI were the most prevalent pathogens. MRSA was hight prevalence. Antibiotic high sensitivity include Quinolone, Linezolid, Amikacin, Cephalosporin 4, Vancomycin.
