Abstract:
Objective To investigate the distribution and antibiotic resistance of clinical isolates in People’s Hospital of Qingyang during 2014 to provide evidence for rational antimicrobial therapy.Methods Bacterial strains were isolated and identified by routine methods and tested by disk diffusion method and E-test for antimicrobial susceptibility. The data were analyzed according to CLSI breakpoints using WHONET 5.6 software.Results Of the 2 121 nonduplicate strains isolated from January through December 2014, 1 565 (73.8%) were gram-negative and 556 (26.2%) were gram-positive strains. The top ifve pathogens wereE. coli, K. pneumoniae, A. baumannii, S. aureusand P. aeruginosa. The prevalence of methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-resistant coagulase negativeStaphylococcus (MRCNS) was 44.6% and 15.4%, respectively.E. coli was the most common gram-negative bacterial species, whileS. aureus was the most common gram-positive bacteria species. Gram-positive bacteria were still highly susceptible to vancomycin, and gram-negative bacteria (such as Enterobacteriaceae) were still highly susceptible to carbapenems.ConclusionsE. coli is the most prevalent pathogen isolated from inpatients in this hospital during 2014. The prevalence of ESBLs-producing strains is the highest inE. coli isolates. The pathogenic bacteria in this hospital showed increasing resistance to a variety of antibacterial agents. Surveillance of antibiotic resistance and effective control measures are necessary to control the growing antimicrobial resistance.
