Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To analyze the pathogen distribution and resistance pattern of the positive clinical sputum specimens in our hospital.METHODS The bacteria and fungi were identified by API system.The susceptibility of antimicrobial and antifungal agents was tested by KB and Rosco disk diffusion method and the data were analyzed by WHONET 5.4 software.RESULTS In 2008,in our hospital,the majority of the positive specimens were distributed among cerebral surgery department,intensive care unit(ICU),respiratory and pediatric departments.The pathogens of the eight highest isolating rate were Pseudomonas aeruginosa(20%),Candida albicans(18%),Acinetobacter baumannii(10.7%),Staphylococcus aureus(6.5%),Klebsiella pneumoniae(6%),Enterobacter cloacae(4%),Haemophilus influenzae(3.8%),and Stenotropho maltophilia(3.5%).In view of the resistance,no Staphylococcus species were resistant to vancomycin,but they were resistant to many other antimicrobial agents.Gram-negative Enterobactericaeae were sensitive to carbapenems,cefoperazone/sulbactam and piperacillin/tazobactam.Among nonfermenters,P.aeruginosa and S.maltophilia were resistant to the most antimicrobial agents while Acinetobacter were comparatively sensitive to carbapenems and cefoperazone/sulbactam.CONCLUSIONS The pathogens in lower respiratory tract infections have a high resistance rate to many antimicrobial agents.In view of the seriousness of this problem,we should emphasis on it and select antimicrobial agents rationally.
