Abstract:
OBJECTIVE Through detecting to drug susceptibility results of 12 commonly used antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PAE),we provide the scientific basis for the prevention of infection and reasonable choice of antibiotics. METHODS Twelve antibiotics′ susceptibility tests in vitro were carried out in PAE isolated from lower respiratory tract in Renming Hospital,Wuhan University from Jan 2007 to Dec 2008. RESULTS In the anti-infective drugs,the resistance rate to ceftazidime was the lowest (36.8%),followed by amikacin (39.6%),piperacillin/tazobactam (43.8%),cefepime (47.8%) and cefoperazone/sulbactam (48.5%).The resistant status of PAE was serious and multi-drug resistance existed. CONCLUSIONS The lower respiratory tract infection caused by PAE which possesses single and multiple drug-resistance. We should more think of it and strengthen preventive measures to reduce the rate of infection. Reasonably prudent use of antibiotics is still the best way of delaying its rapid increase of drug-resistance strains.
