Abstract

Aimed to determine the kind of microorganisms probably to be gifted inside the in-depth care unit and the suitable antibiotics for them. ‏Methods use the duration between October and December 2021‏. The samples had been carried from surfaces and in the ICUs of Al Wahada Hospital in Derna City Libya. ‏Result: The percent and the type of pathogenic agent isolated from intensive care units (ICU & CCU) the highest percent for gram-positive bacteria at 47%, then gram-negative at 19% and fungi at 7.0%, and the percent for there is no presence of pathogenic agent by 27% The bacterial spp, types, numbers, and that the highest percent for Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus epidermidis.20 (39.22%) Staphylococcus aureus 29 (56.86%). As for the Gram-negative bacteria, the highest percentage for Klebsiella pneumonia is 8(40%), and Escherichia coli 9 (45%). As for the Fungi, Candida albicans 2(25%), Aspergillus flavus 6(75%). the surface which has the highest contamination with many types of bacteria were beds then tables, cabinets, and covers of baskets, NBG was the most common bacterium found on all surfaces, followed by S. epidermidis, S. aureus, E. coli, and K. pneumonia. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, S. epidermidis, and S. aureus were all drug resistant., as for Klebsiella pneumonia resistant to most of the antibiotics, Streptococcus spp resistant to many antibiotics except CTX, COL, CAZ, IMIP, which is sensitive, and Escherichia coli and resistant for rest of antibiotic. ‏The conclusion that Gram-negative bacteria are the most microorganisms that survive on different surfaces despite changes in environmental conditions which make them resistant to antibiotics.

Abstract

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) defines a condition in which the urinary tract is infected with a pathogen causing inflammation which is a common, distressing, and occasionally life-threatening condition. Staphylococcus aureus is frequently isolated from urine samples obtained from long-term care patients. The significance of staphylococcal bacteriuria is uncertain. We hypothesized that S. aureus is a urinary pathogen and that colonized urine could be a source of future staphylococcal infection. Methods: This study focused on the frequency of S. aureus and its antibiotic susceptibility in different gender in the Derna District. A total of 200 UTI cases were reviewed in this study from Augustus 2022 to October 2022. Midstream specimens of urine, preferably of the first-morning void were collected from known UTI patients. Cultural and biochemical characterization of S. aureus Results: During this study period 200 samples were received, and from these samples, 170 bacterial isolates were obtained. Out of 170 isolates 160 were identified as S.aureus. Out of this predominant numbers were that of S.aureus 160 (94%), followed by other bacterial isolated 10 (6%). Also, it is shown that the highest number of S. aureus isolated were from married females (57.3%) followed by a male (42.7%). And it is showing 69.3% sensitivity toward Ciprofloxacin. Followed by Teicoplanin which shows 25.3% sensitivity, piperacillin, and Ofloxacin showed the lowest sensitivity. Thus our study showed that there were statistically significant differences between the isolated S.  aureus and age, gender, and marital status. We concluded that ciprofloxacin is a better antibiotic used for S. aureus.
