Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To obtain primary knowledge of drug resistance to aztreonam(ATM) in commonly encounterd Gram-negative bacilli in our hospital thereby to bring the situation under control.METHODS A total of 3 928 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated from patients from 2001 to 2005,and drug resistance of these strains to ATM was examined.RESULTS Resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Klebsiella pneumoniae,Enterobacter cloacae and Acinetobacter spp to ATM was found to be tend increasing from 13%,14%,29% and 40% in 2001 to 28%,29%,40% and 77% in 2005.CONCLUSIONS The percentages of commonly encountered Gram-negative bacilli that are resistant to ATM have been considerably high and tend to increase further.ATM abuse needs to be given appropriate attention to.
