Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To study the homology of resistant Gram-negative bacteria isolating from the hospitalized patients,hospital environment and hands of medical staffs in intensive care unit(ICU).METHODS To collect and identify 58 clinical resistant Gram-negative bacteria isolates and environment isolates from intensive care units,the same type of Gram-negative bacilli were studied on the homology using plasmid profile,restriction endonuclease profile and enterobacter repetitive intergenic consensus PCR(ERIC-PCR).RESULTS The homology existed between the resistant bacteria of clinical isolates and environment specimens.CONCLUSIONS We found that the multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria derive from a common origin and cause an outbreak in ICU.So medical staff must emphasize the concept of hand hygiene and reinforce the measure of cleaning and sterilization,in order to control nosocomial infection.
