OBJECTIVE To approach the clinical distribution and drug resistance in nosocomial infections with Acinetobacter baumannii(ABA) to provide the scientific evidence for clinical diagnosis and treatment.METHODS Referring to National Rules of Operation in Clinical Laboratory,215 strains of ABA were isolated.Microscan auto-4 was used to identify strains.And the antibiotic susceptibility test was performed by K-B method.The test results were judged according to CLSI 2007.RESULTS The top four of isolated rates were the intensive care unit(23.3%),department of neurology(17.7%),department respiratory medicine(15.8%) and department of tumor(14.4%).The detection rate of ABA from specimen from respiratory tract was the highest,arriving at 72.6%.The antibiotic susceptibility test showed ABA had been resistant to commonly used antibiotics.The resistance rates to imipenem and meropenem were 22.3% and 23.7%,respectively.The isolated rate of pan-resistant stains was 7.4%.CONCLUSIONS Hospitals should think highly of monitoring and controlling of drug resistance in ABA and prevent nosocomial infections with multidrug resistant strains.

OBJECTIVE To investigate flora distribution and drug resistance status of hospital acquired infection with Gramnegative bacilli in lower respiratory tract in intensive care unit(ICU) and to provide the scientific reference for diagnosis and reasonable use of antibiotics.METHODS Referring to National Rules of Procedures in Clinical Laboratory,the strains were isolated.The strains were identified by Identification System of Microscan auto-4. The antibiotic susceptibility test was performed by K-B method and the results were read according to CLSI 2007.RESULTS Among 319 strains of Gram-negative bacilli,the top 4 of isolated rate were Pseudomonas aeruginosa(23.5%),Klebsiella pneumoniae(17.5%),Acinetobacter baumannii(14.4%),and Escherichia coli(14.1%).Severe drug resistance was found in four kinds of important pathogens.Except for 100% susceptibility of Enterobacteriaceae to carbopenems,the drug resistance rate to carbopenems in P.aeruginosa and A.baumannii reached 19.6%-22.7%.Pan-drug resistant strains were found in A.baumannii and P.aeruginosa strains.The detection rate of extensive-spectrum beta-lactamases(ESBLs)-producing K.pneumoniae and E.coli was 39.3% and 42.2%,respectively.CONCLUSIONS The Gram-negative bacilli isolated from lower respiratory tract in hospital acquired infection in ICU are mostly multi-resistant.We should strengthen monitoring and controlling of them.

Nannochloropsis has been considered as a promising feedstock for biodiesel production in recent years. To improve its lipid productivity, heavy-ion irradiation mutagenesis, an effectively breeding method used in plants and microorganisms was applied in Nannochloropsis oceanica OZ-1. After large-scale screening using Imaging-PAM and microplate-reader, two mutants (HP-1 and HP-2) with higher growth rate were isolated from the wild type N. oceanica. Subsequently analysis showed that after 18 days of cultivation biomass accumulation of the HP-1 and HP-2 mutant was increased by 18% and 26% respectively compare to the wild type. Total lipid productivity of the HP-1 and HP-2 mutant was 295 mg/(L x d) and 275 mg/(L x d), respectively, whereas that of the wild type was 247 mg/(L x d). Both mutants showed significantly advantage over their wild type concerning biomass accumulation and lipid productivity.
