Abstract:
Objective To investigate the bacterial spectrum and drug resistance of gram-negative bacteria infection in intensive care unit(ICU).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on flora isolates from Jan 2003 to Dec 2003 to investigate the bacterial spectrum,bacterial resistance and clinical characteristics.Results The leading causative microorganisms isolated were Acinetobacter spp (22.1%),Pseudomonas aeruginosa(20.1%),and E.coli (16.9%). Gram-negative bacteria exhibited the lowest resistance rates to imipenem/cilastati and Amikacin in all antibiotics currently used.However Pseudomonas aeruginosa had the highest resistance rate to imipenem/cilastatin in all the gram-negative bacteria (12.1%).The respiratory tract was the most common compromised site in ICU.Conclusions The causative bacteria in infection in ICU have a higher resistance to antibiotics currently used including cephalosporins of third-generation.It is critical to adopt specific antibiotics based on bacteriology and susceptibility to prevent the development of drug resistance.
