Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To study the isolation rate,distribution characteristics and antimicrobial resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii infection.METHODS Surveillance data of A.baumannii infection,distribution and resistance rates to 12 kinds of antibiotics in our hospital for 3 years were analyzed.RESULTS During the 3-year infection surveillance,194 strains of A.baumannii were isolated in our hospital.The isolation rate was 7.8% in 2006,though 2.4% in 2004.Eighty strains(41.2%) of A.baumannii were from intensive care unit;95 strains were from over 60-year-old sufferers;compared with 2004 and 2005,the resistance rates of A.baumannii in 2006 to 12 kinds of antibiotics were increasing at different degree.The antibacterial susceptibility to imipenem/meropenem was the highest.CONCLUSIONS The isolation rate of A.baumannii and antimicrobial resistance rate are increasing year by year.The A.baumannii strains shows obvious multiple antibacterial resistance.We must keep monitoring of A.baumannii infection and drug-resistant changes in order to prevent nosocomial infections.
