Abstract:
Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance of pathogens isolated from blood culture of children in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU),provide reference for empirical treatment of bloodstream infection in critically ill children.Methods Pathogenic bacteria isolated from blood culture of children in a PICU in 2011-2015 were identified and performed antimicrobial susceptibility testing.Results A total of 180 strains of pathogens were isolated from 3 215 blood specimens,the positive rate was 5.60 ％,153 (85.00 ％) of which were grampositive bacteria and 27 (15.00 ％) were gram-negative bacteria.The top five isolated pathogens were Staphylococcus epidermidis (26.67 ％),Staphylococcus hominis (25.00 ％),Staphylococcus haemolyticus (11.66 ％),Escherichia coli (5.55 ％),and Staphylococcus aureus (3.89 ％).The resistance rates of Staphylococcus spp.to linezolid,vancomycin,and quinupristin/dalfopristin were all 0;the detection rates of methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MRCNS) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) were 70.18％ and 42.68％ respectively;Escherichia coli had high resistance rates to ampicillin,cefazolin,ceftriaxone,gentamycin,and compound sulfamethoxazole (50.00 ％-80.00 ％).Conclusion CNS and Escherichia coli are the main pathogens in blood culture of children in PICU,differences in antimicrobial resistance exist among different types of CNS.
