All patients admitted during the 3 year study period from January 2018 through January 2021 with culture-confirmed P. aeruginosa infection were included in the study. Primary data were collected from hospital database electronic medical record and series of local biannual report of microorganism susceptibility pattern.Results: The data suggested that there was increasing trend in meropenem nonsusceptibility and multidrug-resistance rates. A total of 135 patients with various primary diagnoses and comorbidities were studied. P. aeruginosa isolates were mostly (73.4%) obtained from sputum specimen. Empirical meropenem therapy was administrated in 24.4% of patients with standard- and high-dose as indicated. Nonsusceptibility was acquired in 37% patients who mostly received empirical therapy. Multivariable analysis revealed protocol being evaluated as a statistically significant risk factor for nonsusceptibility in P. aeruginosa (PR = 30.65; p < 0.001).Conclusion: Empirical meropenem administration protocol in this study was an independent determinant of nonsusceptibility acquisition in P. aeruginosa. These findings proved that empirical therapeutic strategy modification is indispensable and routine evaluation practice should be promulgated.Keywords: antibiotic resistance, critical care, empirical therapy, Indonesia, meropenem, Pseudomonas aeruginosa |
