Abstract

Background : Acinetobacter baumannii is an important pathogen associated with nosocomial infections in intensive care units, and is responsible for nosocomial pneumonia, UTI, bacteremia, etc. The main concern is that this pathogen is often resistant to many antimicrobial agents, particularly to carbapenem. This study compared the clinical those of ICU admitted patients with the carbapenem resistant A. baumannii isolated from the sputum with characteristics of patients with carbapenem sensitive A. baumannii. Methods : A total of 49 patients with A. baumannii from a sputum culture who were admitted to the ICU from January to December 2003 were enrolled in this study. This study evaluated the demographic variables, mortality, APACHE II score, comorbidity, antibiotics used, hospital and ICU stay, Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score, and mechanical ventilation. A retrospective analysis was made by a review of the patients' medical records. Results : Carbapenem sensitive and resistant A. baumannii was isolated from 23 patients and 26 patients respectively. Univariate analysis revealed renal disease, the use of carbapenem and aminoglycoside to be statistically significant factors for carbapenem resistance. Multivariate analysis revealed carbapenem use(p=0.024; OR, 8.17; CI 1.32 to 50.68) to be positively associated with carbapenem resistance, and aminoglycoside use(p=0.026; OR, 0.18; CI, 0.04 to 0.82) to be negatively associated with carbapenem resistance. There was no significant difference in mortality between the carbapenem sensitive and resistant group(30 vs 42%. P=0.39). Conclusion : The occurrence of carbapenem resistant A. baumannii is positively associated with carbapenem use and negatively associated with aminoglycoside use. Carbapenem resistance in the sputum culture did not affect the mortality rate.

연구배경 : A. baumannii는 중환자실내의 원내감염의 중요 원인균으로 인식되고 있으며, 원내 폐렴, 요로 감염증, 균혈증 등을 일으킨다. 현재 이 균의 다약제 내성이 문제되고 있으며 특히 carbapenem에 내성을 보이고 있는 것이 가장 큰 문제가 되고 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 중환자실 환자의 객담에서 배양된 A. baumannii 중 carbapenem 내성군과 감수성군 두 군으로 나누어 위험인자를 알아보고 임상적 특징을 비교 및 분석하는 것이다. 방 법 : 2003년 1월 1일부터 2003년 12월 31일까지 강원대학교 중환자실에 입원한 성인 환자들 중 객담 배양 검사상 A. baumannii가 한 번이라도 검출된 환자들을 대상으로 챠트 기록을 통한 후향적 분석을 하였다. 위험인자로 연령, 성별, APACHE II score, 동반질환, 사용한 항생제, 재원기간, 중환자실 재원기간, Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score, 인공호흡기 여부를 평가하였다. 결 과 : 총 49명으로 A. baumannii에 대한 carbapenem 감수성군은 23명 내성군은 26명이었다. 단일변량분석에서는 신장 질환, 이전의 aminoglycoside 및 carbapenem 사용력이 통계적인 의미를 보였고 다변량분석에서는 이전의 aminoglycoside 사용력은 carbapenem 내성과 음의 상관관계를(p=0.026; OR, 0.18; CI, 0.04 to 0.82), 이전의 carbapenem 사용력은 carbapenem 내성과 양의 상관관계를(p=0.024; OR, 8.17; CI 1.32 to 50.68) 보여주었다. 사망률에서는 양 군에서 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다(30 vs 42%, P=0.39). 결 론 : Carbapenem 내성 A. baumannii의 발생의 위험인자로 이전의 aminoglycoside와 carbapenem 사용력이 있으며 carbapenem 사용 시 A. baumannii의 carbapenem 내성정도가 증가함을 볼 수 있다.
