Ocular bacterial infections at Quiha Ophthalmic Hospital, Northern Ethiopia: an evaluation according to the risk factors and the antimicrobial susceptibility of bacterial isolates

Table 8 Multidrug resistance patterns of bacterial isolates from ocular infections

Notes: ^a MDR Multi-drug resistant: non-susceptible to 1 agent in 3 antimicrobial categories [43]. Based on this definition, the following antimicrobial categories were considered to determine whether the given isolate is MDR: S. aureus: aminoglycosides, methicillin, SXT, clindamycin, chloramphenicol, macrolides (erythromycin), tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin). Enterobacteriaceae: aminoglycosides, ceftriaxone, fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin), SXT, chloramphenicol and tetracyclines. Acinetobacter spp.: aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin), ceftriaxone, SXT and tetracyclines
