Abstract

General Background: Antimicrobial resistance represents a major global health challenge requiring alignment of empiric antibiotic therapy with local susceptibility data. Specific Background: In clinical practice, variability persists between empiric prescribing and antibiogram-based expectations despite stewardship recommendations. Knowledge Gap: Real-world evidence on the degree of concordance and its association with clinical outcomes in hospital settings remains limited. Aims: This study evaluated concordance between initial empiric antibiotic therapy and local antibiogram data and examined outcomes associated with discordant therapy. Results: Among 512 patients, overall concordance was 64.8%, while 35.2% received discordant therapy. Concordance was highest in urinary tract infections (76.2%) and lowest in pneumonia (52.9%), and was reduced in intensive care settings (54.8%) compared with medical wards (71.3%). Gram-negative pathogens predominated, with Escherichia coli (37.7%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (22.5%) most frequent. Independent predictors of resistance included prior antibiotic exposure, hospital-acquired infection, and intensive care admission. Discordant therapy was associated with longer hospitalization (11 vs 7 days) and higher antibiotic escalation rates (46% vs 18%), with a non-significant increase in mortality. Novelty: This study integrates antibiogram concordance analysis with clinical outcomes and identifies healthcare-associated predictors within a single cohort. Implications: Strengthening integration of local antibiograms into empiric prescribing pathways may support optimized antibiotic use and address antimicrobial resistance. Highlights:• One-Third of Initial Treatments Did Not Match Susceptibility Expectations.• Critical Care and Respiratory Cases Showed Lowest Alignment Rates.• Mismatch Linked to Longer Stays and Higher Treatment Escalation. Keywords: Antimicrobial Resistance, Empiric Antibiotic Therapy, Antibiogram, Antimicrobial Stewardship, Clinical Outcomes.

Abstract

General Background: Postoperative infectious complications remain a major challenge in abdominal surgery, particularly in cases of strangulated abdominal hernias where microbial contamination of the surgical field frequently occurs. Specific Background: Photodynamic therapy using photosensitizers and light activation has been proposed as an antimicrobial approach, while methylene blue represents an accessible and low-cost photosensitizer that can be activated by LED irradiation. Knowledge Gap: Despite its potential advantages, the clinical and microbiological role of methylene-blue–mediated photodynamic therapy in preventing postoperative purulent-inflammatory complications in strangulated hernia surgery has not been sufficiently investigated. Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the microbiological characteristics of hernial sac infections and assess the preventive potential of intraoperative photodynamic therapy using methylene blue and LED irradiation. Results: A comparative clinical study of 225 patients showed that hernial sac infections were predominantly polymicrobial, with Escherichia coli (46%), Staphylococcus aureus (28%), and Staphylococcus epidermidis (6%) being the most common pathogens. Combined photodynamic treatment reduced microbial contamination from 10⁴ CFU/ml to 10² CFU/ml and lowered postoperative complications from 16.3% in the control group to 6.3% in the treated group, while also shortening hospital stay from 10.0 ± 0.67 days to 7.3 ± 0.77 days. Novelty: The study demonstrates the clinical and microbiological benefits of intraoperative photodynamic sanitation using methylene blue and LED light in strangulated hernia surgery. Implications: The findings support the use of accessible photodynamic techniques as a practical strategy for reducing postoperative purulent-inflammatory complications and improving surgical outcomes.
