Abstract:
A prospective study on 80 patients over 60 years old who were diagnosed hospital pneumonia at Thong Nhat hospital from December 2003 to April 2005. Results: hospital pneumonia by multi-bacteria was 55%. The common bacteria were K.pneumonia (56.25%); P.aeruginosa (55.0%); Acinetobacter (18.75%) and S.aureus (15%). The resistance level of bacteria caused hospital pneumonia: P.aeruginosa resisted most of antibiotics except Imipenem and Timentin (recently used in hospitals) with sensitive rate of 66.13% and 65%, respectively. K.pneumonia was sensitive only with Imipenem at the rate of 96.55%, Amikacin 66.91%. S.aureus resisted penicilin and most of other antibiotics; it was sensitive only with vancomicin at the rate of 100%. In relapsing or unsuccessful patients, the resistance of bacteria was stronger than the first time isolation.
