Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To investigate nosocomial infection and antibiotic resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa among geriatrics patients and to instruct clinical monitoring and control infection.METHODS P.aeruginosa isolates from geriatrics patients were identified and the resistance to antibiotics was determined by K-B method.RESULTS The risk factors of nosocomial infection were underlying diseases,low immunological function,long time hospitalization,invasive treatment,and prolonged antibiotic therapy.The resistant rates to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and cefotaxime in PA were 74.8% and 60.2%,respectively.The resistance rate to imipenem was 3.9%.CONCLUSIONS It is suggested to carry out proper measurement to control the spread of multiresistant strains in order to improve the treatment of PAE infection in geriatrics patients.
