Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To investigate the evolution of drug-resistance of Staphylococcus aureus in children in Hubei tertiary level hospitals during four years and provide the evidence for clinically reasonable use of antibiotics.METHODS The summary data of drug sensitivity in clinical isolates of meticillin-resistant S.aureus(MRSA) and meticillin-sensitive S.aureus(MSSA) in children in Hubei tertiary level hospitals from 2004 to 2007 were investigated retrospectively and the results were analyzed statistically.RESULTS The tendency of infections with MRSA upgraded yearly during four years(5.7%→10.7%→40.8%→46.9%);the resistance rates of MRSA to various antibiotics were all higher than that of MSSA.The vancomycin-resistant S.aureus had not been detected.CONCLUSIONS The drug-resistance status of SA in Hubei is still very serious.We should adopt effective measurement to control the occurring and epidemic outbreak in combination with children physiological characteristic.
