P16 Analysis of antibiotic resistance in wounded servicemen with infectious complications
Abstract
Abstract Background The problem of antibiotic resistance has now become a global challenge. Infectious complications are the cause of death in 80% of wounded soldiers whose deaths occur late after a military injury. This confirms that the fight against wound infection is one of the priority tasks in the treatment of combat trauma. Objectives To investigate the species composition and susceptibility of microorganisms in servicemen with gunshot wounds and severe infectious complications. Materials and methods The study analysed 34 case histories of wounded servicemen with infectious complications (sepsis, pneumonia). Results Sixty-eight samples of materials were taken, of which 56 samples of biomaterial were isolated from wounds, blood and sputum, and pathogens were isolated. A monoculture was isolated in 85% of cases, in 10% of cases there was a combination of Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae, and in 5% of cases different triple combinations of S. aureus with Staphylococcus lentus, Enterobacter, Proteus or Lelliottia amnigena were identified. Most commonly detected were K. pneumoniae (43%) and S. aureus (21%), followed by equal proportions of Enterobacter and Proteus (both 9%), Bacillus spp. (7%) and, in rare cases, L. amnigena, S. epidermidis, S. haemolyticus and S. lentus were isolated (1% each, respectively). Considering that S. aureus and K. pneumoniae were the most frequently isolated pathogens, we analysed their susceptibility. K. pneumoniae was resistant…
