Chinese Journal of Biochemical Pharmaceutics 2014;37(4):148-150
Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of tigecycline combinated with isepamicin for treatment of pneumonia caused by multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed in adult patients with multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii pneumonia in two general hospitals from January 2012 to January 2014.Total eighty-four patients with MDR-Acinetobacter baumannii pneumonia were randomly divided into two groups(n=42).One group was treated with tigecycline combinated with isepamicin(termed combination therapy group),and another group was administrated with cefoperazone sulbactam (termed control group ).The clinical cure rates,microbiological eradication rates and adverse events were collected and compared. Results There was no difference in APACHEⅡ score between two groups.The clinical cure rates in combination therapy group was significantly higher than that in control group(88% vs 61%,P<0.05),and with a higher rate of microbiological eradication(59.5% vs 35.7%,P <0.05 ).However,the occurence rate of adverse events was similar in the two groups (7.1% vs 1 1.9%). Conclusion With a higher rate of clinical efficacy and a lower rate of adverse events,the combination therapy with tigecycline and isepamicin would be a promising alternative for treatment with MDR-Acinetobacter baumannii pneumonia.

Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations and the antibiotics resistance patterns in children with positive blood culture of Escherichia coli. Methods The clinical data of children with positive blood culture of Escherichia coli were retrospectively analyzed from Jan.2007 to Dec.2014. Results In a total of 154774 children who had blood culture in the study period, 8446 children were positive, among whom 408 (4.83%) children were isolated Escherichia coli. The children with the positive blood culture of Escherichia coli mainly were under one year old (51.72%), of which 36.77%was neonates. There were 275 children had underlying diseases, and the most common disease was Leukemia. 199 (48.77%) Escherichia coli strains were producing extended spectrumβ-lactamase (ESBLs) and 85.23%were resistant to ampicillin. All strains were susceptible to meropenem. Conclusions Septicemia caused by Escherichia coli is usually occurred in children with leukemia or in neonates. Since blood infections of Escherichia coil had high rate of ESBLs, the use of carbapenem antibiotics should be cautious.

Objective To explore the common pathogens distribution and the drug resistance pattern in vitro from cerebrospinal lfuid culture in children. Methods The results of cerebrospinal lfuid culture in hospitalized children from January 2007 to December 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Bacteria identiifcation and antimicrobial susceptibility were assayed by Vitek system from Bio Mrieux Company. Some bacterial strains were tested by disk diffusion method. Results Cerebrospinal lfuid from 23099 patients were tested at least one time during research period. 671 strains of bacteria were isolated with positive rate of 2 . 9%, among which there were 579 strains of gram positive bacteria ( 86 . 3%) and 92 strains of gram negative bacteria ( 13 . 7%). The top ifve bacteria were coagulase negative Staphylococcus ( 399 strains, 58 . 9%), Micrococcus ( 37 strains, 5 . 5%), Streptococcus pneumoniae (34 strains, 5.1%), Escherichia coli (32 strains, 4.8%), and Enterococcus faecium (26 strains, 3.9%). The positive rates of cerebrospinal lfuid culture in 8 consecutive years showed a downward trend (χ2?=?10 . 410 , P=?0 . 001 ). The positive rates of coagulase negative Staphylococci showed annual decline trend (χ2?=?31 . 200 , P0 . 001 ). However, annual positive rates of Escherichia coli showed an upward trend (χ2?=?4 . 786 , P=?0 . 029 ). The resistant rate of coagulase negative Staphylococcus to oxacillin was 79 . 8%, and no coagulase negative Staphylococcus resistant to linezolid and vancomycin was found. Micrococcus sensitive to vancomycin was 100%. The resistant rate of Streptococcus pneumoniae to penicillin was 77 . 8%, while the sensitive rate of Streptococcus pneumoniae to vancomycin was 100%. The sensitive rate of Escherichia coli to piperacillin/tazobactam and meropenemwas 100%. Conclusions The positive rate of cerebrospinal fluid culture is low. The main strains are coagulase negative Staphylococcus, Micrococcus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, and Enterococcus faecium. The antibiotics should been rationally chosen according to the results of bacterial strain culture and drug sensitive test.

Objective To analyze the clinical features and the plasma secretory leukocyte proteinase inhibitor (SLPI) levels in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP). Methods Clinical data and plasma SLPI levels of 136 children with MPP were retrospectively analyzed. Results From July 2011 to June 2013,136 children (male 80, female 56) with MPP were included in the study. The onset ages of all children ranged from 11 months to 14 years (mean age, 6.2±3.0 years), and 82.4%of the cases were at the age of 4 to 14 years. One hundred and twenty six cases (92.7%) with long-last high fever, 83.8%with cough, 74.3%with rale were found in the study. Small or large patchy shadows in chest X-ray radiography were found in all the cases. At the acute phase, 72.1%with low white blood cell count, 59.6%with normal neutrophil cell and 63.2%with higher high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were observed. The SLPI level at the acute phase in 85 cases was (9.3±8.8) ng/ml, which was signiifcant lower than that at the convalescent phase (11.8±8.0 ng/ml, Z=3.08, P=0.002). Conclusions The clinical features of MPP are usually presented with high fever, cough, higher hs-CRP, normal or lower white blood cell and neutrophil cell count, small or large patchy shadows in chest X-ray radiography. The plasma SLPI level at the acute phase was signiifcantly lower than that in convalescent phase in children with MPP.
