Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To investigate the bacterial distribution and antibiotic resistance of main pathogens from urinary tract infection (UTI) in our hospital for the guidance of rational use of antibiotics. METHODS The antibiotic resistance of clinical pathogen isolates from urinary tract infection by routine bacterium culture from Jan 2006 to Dec 2007 were studied retrospectively. The extended spectrum ?-lactamases (ESBLs) were detected out to the Gram-negative bacilli. RESULTS There were 722 strains of pathogens in the whole 2773 urinary samples with the isolating rate 26.0%. Most of the Urinary tract infections of patients were caused by Gram-negative bacilli (69.4%),then by Gram-positive cocci (16.3%) and fungi (14.3%). The most common pathogens in urinary tract infection were Escherichia coli (47.9%),Enterococcus faecais (7.9%),E. faecium (4.0%),Proteus mirabilis (3.9%),and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (3.5%). The Gram-negative bacilli were found to be sensitive to imipenem and meropenem,but highly resistant to the most other antibiotics,while P. mirabilis was susceptive to amikacin and cephalosporins. The Gram-positive cocci were more sensitive to nitrofuvantoin and vancomycin,but highly resistant to penicillin,oxacillin and SMT. CONCLUSIONS E. coli is still the primary urinary pathogen among patients,and highly resistant to a lot of antibiotics,We should carry out cultivation,isolation,and antimicrobial susceptibility testing as soon as possible to guide reasonable clinical drug therapy.
