Abstract:
Objective To investigate distribution of Klebsiella pneumoniae infection and its drug resistance change in elderly pa‐tients during 2011 and 2013 .Methods API system was used to identify bacteria ,collected from clinical samples of elderly patients during 2011 and 2013 .Drug sensitivity was tested by using disk diffusion method .Results The isolation rate of Klebsiella pneu‐moniae from 2011 to 2013 was 9 .93% ,11 .56% and 13 .37% .During these three years ,the isolation rate of strains was the highest in Intensive Care Unit ,and the specimens mainly distributed in sputum .There was an increasing tendency of the resistance rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae to commonly used antibiotics ,though the resistant rate to piperacillin/tazobactam ,ceftazidime ,meropenem and amikacin was below 30% .Conclusion Observation on changes of drug resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae and reduction of risk factors for bacteria infection ,might be important for prohibiting the increasing of drug resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae .
