Abstract:
Objective To analyze the distribution and antimicrobial resistance of bloodstream pathogens in surgical intensive care unit (SICU) and medical intensive care unit (MICU) of Fujian Provincial Hospital in the past four and half years for better use of antimicrobial drugs.Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out for the bloodstream pathogens isolated from SICU and MICU patients from January 2012 to June 2016.The clinical data and outcomes of patients were also reviewed.Results A total of 329 strains of isolates were recovered from blood samples in SICU,including gram-negative bacteria (53.5％),gram-positive bacteria (39.2％),and fungi (7.3％);258 strains were collected from MICU,including gram-negative bacteria (57.8％),gram-positive bacteria (36.0％),and fungi (6.2％).A.baumannii,K.pneumonia and E.coli were the top three gram-negative species in both SICU and MICU.The main gram-positive species were coagulase-negative Staphylococcus and Enterococcusfaecium.Overall,386 cases of bloodstream infections were diagnosed,including 226 cases in SICU (202 cases of single bacterial infection and 24 cases of multiple bacterial infection),and 160 cases in MICU (138 cases of single bacterial infection and 22 cases of multiple bacterial infection).A.baumannii isolates showed significantly higher rate of resistance to antibiotics in SICU than in MICU,while the K.pneumoniae and E.coli isolates in MICU showed higher resistance rates to cephalosporins,quinolones,penicillins and carbapenems than the corresponding isolates in SICU.The coagulase negative Staphylococcus and E.faecium isolates in MICU were associated with significantly higher resistance rates to quinolones and tigecycline than those strain in SICU.The bloodstream infections due to K.pneumoniae,E.coli and E.faecium were associated with higher mortality in MICU than in SICU,while the bloodstream infections due to A.baumannii were associated with higher mortality in SICU than in MICU.The total mortality rate of bloodstream infections was higher in MICU than in SICU.Conclusions SICU and MICU share similar profile of main bloodstream pathogens even though the disease spectrum was different between SICU and MICU.All the bloodstream pathogens isolated from MICU patients except A.baumannii showed significantly higher antimicrobial resistance rates than the isolates from SICU.The mortality rate associated with bloodstream infection was also higher in MICU patients than in SICU.
