Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To retrospectively analyze the results of the composition and drug resistance of urinary pathogens isolated from geriatric inpatients from 2003 to 2005.METHODS The identification and antibacterial drug sensitivity test of urinary pathogens was carried out by VITEK AMS-60.RESULTS Urinary tract infections of geriatric inpatients were still mostly caused by Gram-negative bacilli(72.9%),others as Gram-positive cocci(14.3%) and fungi(12.8%).The majority of Gram-negative bacilli was Escherichia coli(46.6%) and the majority of fungi was Candida albicans(7.9%),as for Grampositive cocci,were Enterococcus faecalis(5.3%) and coagulase negative Staphylococcus(4.9%).Drug resistance rate of common antibiotic against the majority of urinary pathogens showed an ascending trend.CONCLUSIONS E.coli is still the primary urinary pathogen among geriatric inpatients,but the isolation of fungi and multi-drug-resistant bacteria is on the rise.
