Objective To investigate the characteristics of distribution and the changes in drug resistance of Enterococci,providing reference for clinical treatment.Methods The distribution and drug resistance in 2547 clinical isolates of Enterococci from 2001 to 2007 in Huzhou Central Hospital and the First People's Hospital of Huzhou were retrospectively analyzed.Results A total of 2547 strains of Enterococci were isolated from 94876 clinical specimens(2.68%),in which Enterococcus faecalis wag primary and Enterococcus faecium Wag ranking the second.The positive rate of Enterococci in urine specimens was the highest,and that in sputum specimens was increasing recently.Enterococci showed higg resistance to erythromycin,rifampin,ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin;Enterococcus faecalis Wag more sensitive to penicillin,ampiciilin and ndtrofurantoin than Enterococcus faecium,while Euterococcus faecium was more sensitive to chloramphended and tetracycline than Enterococcus faecalis;both of them were sensitive to vaneomycin and teicoplanin.Conclusions Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium are the common pathogen in Enterococci infections.Enterococci show high drug resistance,so the clinical use of antibiotics should be based on the resuhs of drug sensitivity test.

AIM: To study chronopharmacokinetics of helicid and its metabolites. METHODS: An HPLC-MS method for simultaneous determination of helicid and its three phase I metabolites were established and validated. At 8:00, 14:00 and 0:00, the rats were given helicid 50 mg/kg by gavage, respectively. Blood samples were collected from ophthalmic venous plexus. Then plasma concentration was measured. Pharmacokinetic behaviors of the original drug and its metabolites after administration at different time points were calculated and compared. RESULTS: This established HPLC-MS/MS method was successfully applied to simultaneous determination of helicid and its three metabolites in rat plasma after intragastric administration. Using AUC
