Abstract:
An prospective study was carried out on 101 patients over 60 years of age with pneumonia at Thong Nhat hospital from January 2004 to June 2005. The result showed that: 87.1% of pneumonia caused by negative-gram aerobes, among which P.aeruginosa accounted for 55.4%, K. pneumonia 55.4%, Acinetobacter 14.9%. 15.8% of pneumonia caused by positive-gram aerobes. Negative-gram aerobes were resistant strongly to third generation cephalosporin and fluoroquinolones, only sensitive to imipenem. S.aureus was resistant to oxacillin (87.5%) and sensitive to vancomicin
