Nasopharyngeal Carriage Rate of Streptococcus pneumoniae, Related Risk Factors, and Antibiotic Susceptibility Among Inmates in Hawassa Central Prison Institute: Hawassa, Sidama National Region, Ethiopia
BACKGROUND: The bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae commonly causes severe bacterial illnesses in both children and adults. S. pneumoniae is the most fatal bacterial pathogen, causing 50% of the deaths from lower respiratory infections in people of all ages. OBJECTIVES: This study was aimed to determ...

description | BACKGROUND: The bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae commonly causes severe bacterial illnesses in both children and adults. S. pneumoniae is the most fatal bacterial pathogen, causing 50% of the deaths from lower respiratory infections in people of all ages. OBJECTIVES: This study was aimed to determine a nasopharyngeal carriage rate of S. pneumoniae, related risk factors, and antibiotic susceptibility among prisoners in Hawassa Central Prison Institute Hawassa, Ethiopia METHODS: From July to August 2021, a cross-sectional investigation was carried out in Hawassa prison. All randomly chosen adult volunteers were a part of the study. In this study, about 330 different people were included. Within 3 h of collection, the swab specimen was inoculated onto 5% sheep blood agar; the inoculated medium was then incubated for 18-24 h at 35-37 °C in a CO(2)-enriched environment. Following incubation, the S. pneumoniae colonies were suspected, but the usual colony shape, alpha-hemolysis, Gram staining, optochin susceptibility, and bile solubility test allowed for confirmation. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out in accordance with the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute's guidelines. RESULTS: Overall carriage rate of S. pneumoniae among adult individuals were 41 (12.7%). The carriage rate of S. pneumoniae was affected by age classes that 39-48 years (OR = 4.82, 95%CI = 1.49-15.56, p = .009), 49-58 years (OR = 5.27, 95%CI = 1.27-21.89, p = .022), and greater than 58 years (OR = 4.36, 95%CI = 1.13-16.90, p = .033); cigarette smoking (OR = 3.41, 95%CI = 1.16-10.01, p = .026); and sharing beds (OR = 3.91, 95%CI = 1.27-12.07, p = .018). The majority of the isolates are susceptible for clindamycin (87.8%) and resistant for chloramphenicol (56%). Multidrug resistance was observed in 36.7%. CONCLUSIONS: The overall carriage rate of S. pneumoniae was 12.7%. Age, cigarette smoking, and sharing beds in the same prison room had a substantial impact on this nasopharyngeal carriage rate. Chloramphenicol (56%), erythromycin (41.5%), tetracycline (39%), and co-trimoxazole (34.1%) resistance were seen in the majority of S. pneumoniae isolates. Early detection, hygiene maintenance, and appropriate treatment are necessary. |
