Determining the burden of MRSA colonisation among HCWs and administrative staff in Tikur Anbessa Specialised Hospital, College of Health Sciences

To determine bacteriological profiles, antimicrobial susceptibility patterns, & biofilm forming ability of isolates, as well as factors associated with OSSIs.

Antimicrobial Susceptibility Patterns of ESBL-Producing Gram-Negative Bacteria Isolates The highest sensitivity patterns of ESBL-producing E. coli were noted in isolates from both index and neighbouring patients in chloramphenicol (85.1% versus 81.8%), piperacillin–tazobactam (73.0% versus 63.6%), amikacin (97.3% versus 100.0%), and meropenem (97.2% versus 100.0%), respectively. Similarly, there were also high sensitivities of these antibiotics to other Gram-negative bacteria (Table 2).
