Abstract:
Objective To investigate the distribution and evolvement of resistance profiles of the pathogens isolated from children diagnosed with urinary tract infection (UTI).Methods The pediatric patients who were diagnosed with UTI in Children's Hospital of Fudan University from January 2001 to December 2010 were enrolled in this retrospective study.The clean catch midstream urine samples were collected and the pathogens were isolated by culture.Bacterial susceptibility test was performed by following a protocol of the standardized Kirby Bauer (KB) method.The enumeration data were analyzed by chi square test and the tendency of drug resistant rate was analyzed by curvilinear regression.Results A total of 10 686 pathogen strains were isolated during the past 10years.The major pathogen was Escherichia coli which counted for 38% -56% of the isolates.However,the proportion of Enterococcus faecalis (0 - 17%,F =34.075,P =0.000) and Enterococcus faecium (3 % - 15 %,F =7.139,P =0.028) increased rapidly.The resistant rates of Escherichia coli to cefazolin,cefuroxime sodium,cefotaxime and ceftazidime were 35.8%- 62.3%(F=215.735,P=0.000),33.1% -57.0%(F=70.674,P=0.000),19.0% -56.5%(F=52.355,P=0.000) and 2.1%-23.5%(F=16.807,P=0.003),respectively.The resistant rate of Escherichia coli to ciprofloxacin was 23.4% - 33.8 % (F=0.989,P=0.349),while the resistant rate of Escherichia coli to amikacin and cefoperozone/sulbactam were both less than 7%.There was no Escherichia coli isolate showing resistant to imipenem.The resistant rates of Enterococcus faecium to ampicillin and ciprofloxacin were higher than 60.0% and 50.0%,respectively,while the resistant rate of Enterococcus faecalis to these two antibiotics decreased from 40.0% to 9.6 % (F =17.497,P =0.009) and 60.0% to 21.6% (F=12.826,P=0.009),respectively.The resistant rate of Enterococcus faecium to nitrofurantoin decreased from 32 % (in the year of 2002) to 9.4% (in the year of 2010,F=34.075,P=0.000) and the resistant rate of Enterococcus faecalis decreased from 9.2% (in the year of 2005) to 1.4% (in the year of 2010,F=7.139,P=0.028).The resistant rates to erythromycin were both higher than 75.0% in both Enterococcus in recent 10 years.There was no Enterococcus isolates showing resistant to vancomycin.Conclusions Escherichia coli,Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium are the most common pathogens associated with UTI in children.The proportions of Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium among the pathogens of UTI are increasing.The antimicrobial activity of ampicillin to Enterococcus faecalis keeps at a high level.However,there are few drugs can be used for treating Enterococcus faecium infection.
