Abstract

Enterobacter cloacae is significant causes of nosocomial infections. The present study aimed to evaluate the antibiotic resistance profiles of Enterobacter cloacae isolated from the First Bethune Hospital. Disk diffusion method was used to study the antimicrobial resistance. The data were analyzed by WHONET 5 software according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). The majority of 683 strains of Enterobacter cloacae were collected from sputum (410, 60.0%), secretions and pus (105, 15.4%), urine (69, 10.1%). All the Enterobacter cloacae isolates were sensitive to imipenem and meropenem. Enterobacter cloacae strains were frequently resistant to multiple antibiotics. The results suggest that surveillance of antimicrobial resistance among Enterobacter cloacae is necessary.
