Abstract:
Objective To understand the antibiotic resistance of bacteria colonized in intestine of the neonates from neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and provide evidence to guide clinical antibiotic treatment.Methods From May,2014 to May,2015,a total of 572 stool samples were collected from the neonates of NICU in our hospital.Escherichia coli and Enterococcus were detected with VITEK-2 system.Results A total of 328 strains of E.coli and 243 strains of Enterococcus were isolated respectively in this study.The 199 strains of E.coli selected for drug susceptibility test showed lower resistant rate to imipenem,ertapenem,amikacin,nitrofurantoin,ranging from 0.50％ to 3.52％ and showed higher resistant rate to ampicillin,tetracycline,trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and cefazolin,ranging from 54.27％ to 84.92％.No meropenem resistant strainsere were found.The percentage of ESBLs production strains was 45％.The multi drug resistance test showed that 34.6％ of the strains were resistant to four antibiotics.Three strains were resistant to seven antibiotics.The 243 strains of Enterococcus showed lower resistant rate to quinupristin/dalfopristin,nitrofurantoin,streptomycin,ranging from 0.41％ to 4.53％ and showed higher resistant rate to ampicillin,benzylpenicillin,ciprofloxacin,tetracycline,gentamicin and erythromycin,ranging from 70.78％ to 91.77％.No strains which were resistant to tigecycline,vancomycin,rina thiazole amine/ketone were found.The multi drug-resistance test showed that 86.5％ of the strains were resistant to five antibiotics.Conclusions According to the analysis of the 199 strains ofE.coli and 243 strains of Enterococcus isolated from the neonates,we found that the resistance of intestinal bacteria in the neonates was very serious,showing multi drug resistance.It is necessary to use antibiotics according to the drug susceptibility test results in clinical treatment.
