RESISTANCE OF STREPTOCOCCUS PNEUMONIAE STRAINS TO ANTIBIOTICS IN ABIDJAN, COTE D'IVOIRE FROM 2009 - 2018: DATABASE ANALYSIS (ID 1070)
Abstract
Background
Antimicrobial resistance of S. pneumoniae is described worldwide and is increasing. The situation of this resistance in some countries in Africa like Cote d'Ivoire remains unclear.We aim to describe the resistance profiles of S. pneumoniae strains against antibiotics tested in a reference laboratory in Abidjan.
Methods
We conducted secondary data analysis and extracted data from Laboratory database containing all the results of the antibiograms performed at Pasteur Institute of Cote d'Ivoire from 2009-2018. The analysis was done using Epi info software version 7. 2. and exported to Microsoft Excel removing duplicates and presented the results into frequencies and proportions.
Results
The analysis involved 150 human strains isolated from 59. 3% of cerebrospinal fluid cases. The age group 0 to 2 years was the highest 52. 8%. Concerning the resistance of antibiotic, 27. 02% showing decreased susceptibility to beta-lactam antibiotics and 23. 2% showing resistance to Gentamycin. For Erythromycin and Levofloxacin, the prevalence of bacteria resistant to these two antibiotics was 17.2% and 13. 6% respectively.
Conclusions
Antibiotic resistance of S pneumoniae strains exists and it is important in Côte d'Ivoire, hence the need for surveillance.
