Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To survey the antibiotic susceptibility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and medical treatment among the aged patients suffering from underlying disease.METHODS A total of 326 strains of P.aeruginosa were isolated among the aged patients with underlying disease by sputum culture.Drug susceptibility was performed and effective antibiotic treatment was given.RESULTS Amikacin(8.0%),imipenem(12.0%) and piperacillin/tazobactam(16.0%) could be chosen.The symptom of 326 patients was alleviated after clinical treatment,while some sputum samples were found still positive.CONCLUSIONS Combined use of two kinds of medicines may produce better effects in the patients with underlying disease,who infected with P.aeruginosa,but sputum should not be emphasized to converse negative in this case.
