Background : Bacterial meningitis is still considered as one of the most dangerous infectious diseases, which causes numerous complications and high mortality if not diagnosed and treated timely.
Objectives : This study was performed to determine antimicrobial resistance patterns of bacterial pathogens isolated from acute bacterial meningitis at Tabriz Children Educational-Health Care Center in Iran.
Patients and Methods : In a retrospective study (from 2003 through 2013), all patients with bacterial meningitis were identified by cerebrospinal fluids with positive results in culture (107 cases).
Patients' necessary data was recorded in a questionnaire.
Furthermore, the results of simultaneous blood culture were also examined.
Ultimately, antimicrobial susceptibility of isolates was determined using the disc diffusion method.
Results : One hundred and seven patients with bacterial meningitis were identified by cerebrospinal fluids with positive results in culture.
All of patients (100 %) had fever (male / female = 1.27 / 1).
The most prevalent pathogens isolated from CSF culture were Streptococcus pneumoniae (34.5 %), Haemophilus influenzae type b (23.36 %), Neisseria meningitidis (6.54 %), Serratia spp.
(6.54 %), and Klebsiella pneumoniae (5.6 %), respectively.
Moreover, the patients' blood culture had positive results in 36.44 % of cases with H.
influenzae type b (20.65 %) and S.
pneumoniae (6.54 %) as the main bacteria isolated from blood.
Meningitis occurred mostly in children under two years (P = 0.001).
According to antimicrobial susceptibility test, a relatively high resistance was reported against some conventional cephalosporins and other antibiotics.
Conclusions : S.
pneumoniae and H.
influenzae type b were the main pathogens of bacterial meningitis in children in the area under study.
Most species had relatively high resistance to conventional antibiotics as compared to the past.
