Abstract:
Objective To explore the antimicrobial resistance of Moraxella Catarrhalis in children with respiratory infection.Methods Eleven strains of Moraxella Catarrhalis were isolated from nasopharyngeal secretion in 145 children with community-acquired respiratory tract infection in Beijing Friendship Hospital from 2004 to 2006.Segregated stocks were isolated from upper respiratory infection in 5 cases,bronchitis in 3 cases and pneumonia in 3 cases.Agar dilution method was used to determine minimal inhibition concentrations (MIC),including 8 kinds of antibiotics,and ?-lactamase was detected.WHONET 5 and SPSS 11.5 software were used to analyze data.Results Ten of the 11 strains were ?-lactamase positive.The rates of resistance to ampicillin,cefuroxime and erythromycin were 81.8%,63.6% and 18.2% respectively,however,all the strains were susceptible to ceftriaxone.MIC90 of penicillin and cefradine was 32.0 mg/L and 8.0 mg/L respectively.MIC90 of roxithromycin and azithromycin was 2.0 mg/L and 0.25 mg/L respectively.Conclusions Moraxella Catarrhalis is an opportunistic pathogen.The ?-lactamase positive rate of Moraxella Catarrhalis from children is high,and there is also a high resistance percen-tages of Moraxella Catarrhalis to penicillin,ampicillin,first and second generation cephalosporins.Moraxella Catarrhalis is susceptible to Cefuroxime.
