Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To explore pathogens and drug resistance in ventilator-associated pneumonia caused by Acinetobacter baumannii,and to provide the corresponding clinical prevention strategies.METHODS The clinical resords and the bacterial susceptibility results of sputum cultivation in 62 cases with VAP caused by A.baumannii between from 2003 and 2006 in ICU of our hospital were reviewed.RESULTS All of the patients suffered from severe underlying diseases,the aged accounted for 77.4%.At least one kind of antibiotic was used in all cases before occurrence of VAP.30.6% of the cases had mixed infection.VAP caused by A.baumannii had the rise trend year by year.The results of bacterial susceptibility showed that A.baumannii had multiple drug resistance,but was lowly resistant to cefoperazone/sulbactam and imipenem.CONCLUSIONS The reasonable choice for antibiotic of VAP caused by A.baumannii should be based on the latest local surveillance on etiology and drug resistance.
