Abstract:
Objective To study the antimicrobial resistance of isolated pathogens from surgical infections in Hubei area.Methods The diameters of the inhibition zones of surgical isolates around antibiotic susceptibility test discs in 15 hospitals were computerfiled and analysed by the software of “WHONET 4” according to NCCLS published in 1999.Results] A total of 1314 surgical isolates were collected between October 1998 and September 1999. S.aureus, P.aeruginosa, E.coli, Enterobacter sp. and CNS were the main microorganisms. 44 6% of staphylococcus was resistant to oxacillin. Imipenem, amikacin, ceftazidime and ciprofloxacin were most active against Gram negative bacilli with the sensitities (in descending order) of 84 4% to 57 2%.[WT5”HZ] Conclusion Antimicrobial resistance should be seriously considered during surgical therapy and prohylaxis with antimicrobial agents . The tendency to antimicrobial resistance of clinical isolates should be followed up continuously.
