Objective To investigate the drug resistance tendency of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from the clinical samples during 2012-2014 to provide reliable evidence for clinical treatment .Methods The Klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated from the submitted specimens were collected and identified according to the national clinical test procedures ,and the drug sensitivity test was performed by using MIC method .The confirmation test of ESBLs was conducted by using K‐B method and the phenotype of carbap‐enemases producing was confirmed by using the improved Hodge test .Results Totally 410 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae were i‐solated ,55 .87% of which were derived from sputum ,and the rest was derived from pus(9 .53% ) ,secretion(9 .47% ) and blood (8 .78% );Klebsiella pneumoniae was mainly originated from ICU ,respiration department and oncology department ,accounting for 16 .10% ,9 .02% and 7 .80% respectively ;the resistance rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae against imipenem was 0 .74% ,the resist‐ance rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae against ampicillin/sulbactam ,cafazolin ,cefepime ,cefotaxime ,cefatriaxone ,ceftazidine ,compound sulfamethoxazole were decreased year by year ,while which against amoxicillin/clavulanic acid showed the increasing trend as a whole .Conclusion Timely conducting the identification and drug susceptibility analysis on local Klebsiella pneumoniae and tracking its drug resistance trend can guide the rational and standardized use of antibacterial drugs ,reduces the pressure for selecting anti‐bacterial drugs in order to reduce the generation of drug resistant strains .

Objective To discuss the setting problem of control limit for quality control chart during the statistical quality con-trol procedure of clinical laboratory quantitative measurement.Methods The normality test of the monthly quality control data for 3 items of albumin (ALB),alanine aminotransferase (ALT)and creatinine (Cr)was performed by using the SPSS 14.0 statistical software and which was compared with the cumulated data.Results Among 30 groups of data,the normality test was inconformity in 18 groups,among 30 groups of mean t test,the differences in 20 groups showed statistical significance(P <0.05).Therefore,the calculated means and standard deviation(SD)in short term could not be directly set as the control limit of the quality control chart. Conclusion Setting the control limit of internal quality control in clinical laboratory quantitative measurement should be according to the guidance of C24-A3 document in CLSI.The SD estimated value obtained from large amount stable quality control data or the 6-month cumulative values is recommended to be used as SD of the new batch number,which should be regularly assessed.
