PROBLEM OF ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE IN A DEVELOPING COUNTRY DR.ALTAF AHMED Head of Clinical Microbiology Chairman CSSD Liaquat National Hospital, Karachi General Secretary Infectious Diseases Society of Pakistan
Antibiotic resistance in Pakistan • Epidemiology – GLOBAL/LOCAL- • MRSA/VRE/ Pneumo/ESBL/ MDR typhoid/MDR-TB • Reasons? • WHAT CAN BE DONE?
Infectious diseases still account for 45% of deaths in low-income countries and for almost one in two premature deaths worldwide. • Most of these deaths (about 90%) are due to six diseases: • acute respiratory infection (mainly pneumonia), • diarrhoeal disease, • HIV/AIDS, • tuberculosis, • malaria • measles.
Use of antibiotics Where antibiotics are used Types of use Questionable use ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Human use (50%) 20% Hospital ---------------------------- 20-50% Unneccesary 80% Community ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Agricultural use (50%) 20% Therapeutic --------------------------------- 40-80% Highly 80% Prophylactic/growth questionable. promoation.

TYPHOID • MULTI DRUG RESISTANT TYPHOID • FLOUROQUINOLONE RESISTANT TYPHOID
Ciprofloxacin Treatment Failure in Typhoid Fever Rawalpindi, Pakistan • Tariq Butt, et al.*Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Rawalpindi, Pakistan • Emerging Infec Dis., 2003; Vol: 9, No. 12 • Inadequacy of the current laboratory guidelines for detection of this resistance. • The spread of this resistance would leave only the less effective but more expensive, third-generation cephalosporins for treatment of typhoid. • Fluoroquinolone resistance must be identified early, and these drugs must be used judiciously. Otherwise, society may be faced with the prospect of untreatable typhoid fever.

Nalidixic acid resistance S.typhi-Rawalpindi Study • 17% of the isolates were resistant to nalidixic acid. • Nalidixic acid disc diffusion and MIC estimation by E-test were 100% comparable. • Isolates which were resistant to nalidixic acid had raised MIC values against Ciprofloxacin. • Anjum P, Qureshi A H, Rafi S.

Thai study • Antimicrobial resistance in the developing world is most likely related to the frequent unrestricted use of over-the-counter drugs without medical supervision. 1 Hoge CW, Gambel JM, Srijan A, et al.

PROBLEMS OF ANTIBIOTIC THERAPY • 40% of the antibiotics produced each year are used in animals. • Growth enhancers in cattle and poultry • Trout and Salmon farms • As aerosols to fruit trees – sprays from planes – people receiving small but repeated doses of antibiotics Chicken feed heavily loaded with tetracycline
