Abstract: Objective To investigate the distribution of pathogenic microbes in blood culture and analysis of drug resis-tance of common pathogens in children with acute leukemia.Methods BACTE-FX system made by BD company was applied for the blood culture of children with acute leukemia. API or VITEK-2 Compact bacterial identiifcation system was used for iden-tiifcation of bacteria. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by disk diffusion method.Results Among 6400 blood culture samples in children with acute leukemia, 713 cases were positive at the rate of 11.1%. Among 655 strains ifrst isolated from the patient, Gram-positive bacteria were 52.5% (344/655) and dominated byStaphylococcus. Strains resistant to vancomy-cin and linezolid were not found. 278 strains (42.5%) were Gram-negative bacteria , andS.marcescens andE.coli were dominat-ed. Gram-negetive bacteria showed high antibacterial activity to imipenem with the sensitive rate of 100%. 33 strains (5%) were fungi.Conclusions Staphylococcus,S.marcescens, and E.coli were the most important bacteria in blood culture of children with acute leukemia. We can offer effective help for clinical treatment with the susceptibility testing.
