Antibiotic resistance of non-fermenting Gram-negative bacilli in a tertiary hospital in Niger: a prospective cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to determine the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility profile of non-fermenting Gram-negative bacilli (NFGNB) isolated from clinical samples in a tertiary care hospital in Niger.

Design

Prospective, cross-sectional study.

Setting

The study was carried out in a tertiary care hospital in Niger.

Participants

All clinical samples received at the bacteriology laboratory during the study period for diagnostic purposes were included.

Results

Out of 548 clinical Gram-negative isolates, 60 strains of NFGNB (10.94%) were isolated. These NFGNB strains were mainly isolated from male patients (62%, n=37) with a mean age of 41.2±27.3 years. NFGNB was more frequent in urine samples (91.7%), followed by pus (6.6%). Among the NFGNB strai
