Article Synopsis
- Acinetobacter baumannii is a major cause of difficult-to-treat nosocomial infections in hospitals, particularly in intensive care units.
- The study tracked 855 patients in a clinic, finding that 12.3% developed infections, with A. baumannii causing 51.4% of these cases, primarily respiratory infections.
- Most A. baumannii isolates showed resistance to multiple antibiotics, though many were susceptible to tobramycin and all to colistin, highlighting the need for improved antibiotic strategies and infection control measures.
Article Synopsis
- ICUs have a higher risk of nosocomial infections (NIs), prompting a study to evaluate the rates, locations, and bacteria involved at a surgical ICU in Tuzla.
- In 2010, 11.27% of the 834 studied patients developed NIs, with respiratory and urinary tract infections being the most common.
- Gram-negative bacteria, especially Klebsiella pneumoniae, were predominant, highlighting the need for ongoing infection control in ICU settings.
The aim of presented research was to determine microorganisms which cause intrahospital infections (IHI) with specific anatomical localization and to determine the antimicrobial resistance of these organisms in a group of 5106 patients hospitalized at Surgery Department of the University Clinical Center Tuzla in the period between 1 January to 31 December 2004. The research was conducted in accordance with the National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance (NNIS) methodology. The results show that in 73.

Intrahospital infections (IHI) and antibiotics resistance are the problems which exist in virtually all hospitals in the world. The main aim of the present research is establishing of epidemiological surveillance over occurrence of IHI at the Clinic for Gynaecology and Obstetrics at the University Clinical Center Tuzla and thus identifies: types of bacteria which cause IHI, types of infection according to anatomical localization and research resistance organisms causing of IHI on antimicrobial drugs. A study was implemented on all patients admitted to Clinic for Gynaecology and Obstetrics during the period of one year and who subsequently developed infection.

The aim of the research was to establish an active monitoring over the breaking out of the nosocomial infections in the Neonatology Department of the Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic of the University Clinical Center Tuzla (UKC) and to determine the kind of bacteria that causes the nosocomial infections as well as the type of infection according to anatomical localization.
