Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To investigate the Gram-negative bacterial resistance of clinical isolates in September, 2004 from 13 hospitals which are members of Anhui Center for Surveillance of Bacterial Resistance. METHODS Antimicrobial susceptibility of clinical non-repeated isolates was tested by agar dilution method and the results were analyzed. RESULTS Of 347 clinical isolates from 13 hospitals, 251 were Gram-negative organisms including 33 species. Gram-negative organisms were different resistant to piperacillin, cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, cefuroxime, ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin, respectively, but the resistance rates to lactams and their inhibitors compounds, such as cefoperazone/sulbactam and piperacillin/tazobactam, and imipenem/cilastatin were all under 10%. CONCLUSIONS Bacterial resistance is still or even a more serious clinical problem than before. There is a valuable surveillance of bacterial resistance.
