خلاصه انگلیسی

Background: Gastroenteritis is one of the most important diseases in all parts of the world; and more dangerous among children, elderly, people who are undernourished and those who live in worse conditions. This study was set up to assess the antibiotic resistance pattern of bacterial enteritis among hospitalized children in Ardabil. Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study was carried out on 52 children who were referred to Bu- Ali hospital with dysentery in 2014. Results: Among all 52 collected Stool samples, 33 (63.4%) yielded Shigella. The most common Shigella isolate was S. flexneri (n = 17, 48.6%). Of 52 cases, 61.5% were boy, with the average age of 4.8 years. In the antibiogram, Ciprofloxacin and Gentamiycin were the most sensitive antibiotics to Shigella spp. and Co-trimoxazole and Azithromycin showed the highest resistance. Also, Imipenem, Ciprofloxacin and Gentamicin were the most sensitive antibiotics to E. coli and Co-trimoxazole showed the highest resistance. Finally, Azithromycin, Ceftazidime and Nalidixic acid were the most sensitive antibiotics for Salmonella group D. Conclusions: The results showed that different bacterial species showed maximum sensitivity to different drugs whereas the majority of them were resistant to Co-trimoxazole.
