Abstrakt: Aim: Study of the role of P. aeruginosa in the development of osteomyelitis of sternum and ribs in cardio-surgery patients, and analysis of the main biological properties of the isolated bacterial strains.
Materials and Methods: 132 bacterial cultures were isolated from 83 hospital patients as a result of bacteriological examination during 2007-2013. Wound discharge was the study mate- rial. Sampling, seeding and identification of the isolated cultures was carried out by using the respective test-systems; antibiotic sensitivity was studied by disc-diffusion method.
Results: The proportion of P. aeruginosa was 10.6% (n = 14) that is comparable with data on wound infections of general surgery hospitals. A direct and strong correlation (R = 0.846, p = 0.000132) between hemolytic and phospholipase activity was established during evaluation of virulence properties of the isolated-strains. The degree of film-forming ability varied significantly from 0.122 to 1.412 OD; 64.3% ofthe studied cultures were highly film-forming variants. Statistically significant association between biofilm formation and other studied properties was not found. 4 strains produced VIM2-type metallo-betalactamase and had identical RAPD profiles.
Conclusion: Considering that earlier the similar cultures were not detected and all of them were isolated at a short interval of time, we have made a conclusion, that their short-term circulation is probably associated with introduction, which was the reason for patient infection. P. aeruginosa could be the etio-pathogen of both early and later complications of cardio-surgical interventions.
