Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To study the isolation rate of Acinetobacter baumannii, characteristics of infection distribution and antimicrobial resistance rates. METHODS Surveillance data of A. baumannii infection of wards, its distribution and resistance rates to 20 kinds of antibiotics in our hospital for 5 years were analyzed . RESULTS During the 5-year infection surveillance, 523 strains of A. baumannii were isolated in our hospital mostly from sputum. The commonest site was lower respiratory tract. The ward with the highest incidence of A. baumannii infection was ICU. The isolation rate was 11.1% in 2004, though 3.9% in 2000. A. baumannii was resistant to 20 kinds of antibiotics, especially to imipenem, cefoperazone /sulbactam and ampicillin/sulbactam. CONCLUSIONS The isolation rate of A. baumannii and antimicrobial resistance rate are increasing year by year. The increased rate of multidrug-resistance should be payed more attention .
