At the Central Military Hospital 108, the prevalance isolated of bacteria is 50.3%. The positive rate from urine culture, blood culture and bronchial fluid are 20.04%, 10.62% and 12.45% respectively. The etiological agents of nosocomial infection are usually caused by gram-negative bacterium, in which E.Coli and Klebsiella group, Enterobacter, Serratia, then Pseudomonas are the most commonly. Staphylococcus are the second most frequently encounted agent, then Streptococci and Enterococci.
