Non-fermentative gram negative bacilli

Most common bacterial agents of Lower Respiratory Tract Infection in the Intensive Care Units are Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, Klebsiella, Citrobacter; which are multi drug resistant, and with limiting the therapeutic options.Nonfermenting Gram-negative bacilli are known to produce Extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) and metallo β-lactamases. Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter spp. in particular are most often associated with carbapenem resistance.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumanii are aerobic non fermenting gram negative opportunistic pathogens that are major causes of nosocomial infections. Both these microorganisms thrive well in nutrient-deprived conditions and are responsible for a wide spectrum of infections. They show a higher predilection for infection in patients with diminished host defenses. Intensive care units are considered the epicenter of antibiotic resistant infections.

Non-fermenting Gram negative bacilli (NFGNB) are a group of bacteria which are aerobic, non sporing and most commonly they are saprophytes. They are also found as commensals in both man and animals. NFGNB are previously considered as a contaminant but now it is emerged as a important cause for life threatening nosocomial infections and also multidrug resistant organisms. Materials and methods: One year prospective study was conducted and our aim is to characterise the non fermenters from various clinical samples and their antibiogram.

Nonfermentative group of bacteria have been incriminated as emerging opportunistic pathogens, especially from hospital settings due to their increasing frequency of isolation from clinical specimens. Nonfermenters show natural resistance to a wide range of commonly used antibiotics. This study includes 50 isolates of nonfermenters from different clinical specimens like Pus, Sputum, blood and urine obtained from patients attending SVS Medical college & Hospital from Jan 2007 to March 2008. Out of 50 nonfermenters, Pseudomonas sp. (82%), Acinetobacter sp. (14%), Alcaligens sp.

Non-fermenting gram-negative bacilli (NFGNB) are an emerging problem in Blood stream infections. A major concern is multi-drug resistance which severely limits treatment options. Earlier it was believed to be non pathogenic, but recently they are more frequently isolated as primary pathogen. Usually they cause hospital acquired infection (HAI). A prospective study was conducted to isolate the NFGNB from blood samples, to identify the risk factors leading to blood stream infections and to determine the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of them.
