[Etiologic factors of XXXX as a potential source of nosocomial infections].

@entity4327 still comprises an important therapeutic problem despite the availability of effective antibiotic therapy. This disorder is characterised by 20% mortality rate. Moreover, the involvement of multi-drug resistant bacterial strains may pose a risk of a nosocomial spread to other hospitalised @entity1 . In the present study we have analysed 184 bacterial strains isolated from 63 @entity1 with @entity4327 . A predominance of aerobic bacteria was detected, both Gram-positive cocci and Gram-negative bacilli. Staphylococci isolated from the clinical samples were characterised by a high percentage of strains resistant to @entity801 (86.3%) and @entity3256 (38.2%). The other important etiological agents were @entity796 and Gram-negative enteric rods of the Enterobacteriaceae family. Only 1 strain of anaerobic bacteria was detected. The enteric bacilli were characterised by a low percentage of isolates susceptible to most of the tested antibiotics (< 60%), with an exception of @entity2177 (68%) and @entity2892 (100%). These multi-drug resistant strains may spread nosocomially to other @entity1 .
