| dc.description.abstract | Background: Worldwide, come out and dissemination of Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases(ESBLs) producing Enterobacteriaceae has been warning the efficacy of antibiotics to treat aninfection. Hospital wastewater might be a reservoir of such kind of resistant bacteria. Currently,the predominant antibiotics used for the treatment of hospitalized patients infected by Gramnegative bacteria are the 𝛽-lactam antibiotics. So it is an important source to investigate themagnitude of ESBLs producing bacteria and their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern. Objective:-To determine the occurrence of ESBLs producingEnterobacteriaceae(ESBLs-pE).and their antibiotic susceptibility pattern in wastewater released from governmental hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Method: Across-sectional study was carried out from April 1 to May 31, 2020. A total of 100wastewaters were collected from five governmental hospitals in Addis Ababa using a grapsamplingtechnique. All Enterobacteriaceae were screened for ESBLs production using cefotaxime and ceftazidime as per 29thCLSI guideline. Each screen positive for ESBLsproduction was confirmed by the combination disk method (CDT) and their antibioticsusceptibility pattern were done using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method on Muller Hintonagar (MHA). Data were entered and summarized using SPSS version 20 software. Results: Of all Enterobacteriaceae, 48.3% were confirmed ESBLs-pE. The highest ratio ofESBLs-Pe was observed in adult ward (66.7%) and laundry unit effluent (58.8%). The highestESBL producers were E. coli (21.8%) and K. pneumoniae (4.8%). The most elevated resistancelevel of ESBL producer were observed to cefotaxime (95.8%) and amoxacilline/clavunalate(93%). 64% of tested Enterobacteriaceae isolates were multi drug resistant (MDR). Conclusion: Higher magnitude of MDR and ESBLs-pE were present in the hospital wastewater. Majority of them were in adult ward and laundry unit effluents. The most frequent ESBLs-pEwas among E .coli and K. pneumoniae. Hence, Consistent infection prevention and controlprocedures should be in practice at each ward/unit. | en_US |
