OBJECTIVE To realize the present resistance characteristics of enterococci to common antimicrobial agents,and to provide reference for clinical therapy. METHODS A total of 79 isolates of enterococci were collected from samples during the period of 2000-2003.The broth microdilution test and ?-lactamase determination were performed for each of the strains.The laboratory data were analyzed. RESULTS The rates of Enterococcus faecalis and E.faecium were 73.4%,and 26.6% of all enterococci isolates.The most common sites of infection were urinary tract(35.4%),surgical secretion(24.1%),and sputum(15.2%).The rate of E.faecium approached 50% of enterococci in urinary tract.The antibiotic resistance of E.faecium was more than E.faecalis to ampicillin,penicillin,and rifampin.The ratio of HLAR enterococci and VRE to total enterococci isolates were 61.9% and 0;?-lactamase producing rate was 6.3%. CONCLUSIONS Urinary infection caused by enterococci is most frequent.E.faecium is found more easily in urinary tract than in the others and very resistant to antibiotics.Vancomycin shows fairly high activity against enterococci.The different regimens should be adopted for different enterococci.

OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical effects and safety of sequential therapy of Ginkgo biloba extract preparation for elderly acute cerebral infarction,and to evaluate its pharmacoeconomics. METHODS:Totally 98 patients with acute cerebral infarc-tion selected from neurology department of our hospital during Aug. 2014-Aug. 2015 were divided into control group and test group according to random number table,with 49 cases in each group. Both groups received routine therapy of antiplatelet aggregation, microcirculation improvement. Control group was additionally given Shuxuening injection 10 mL,ivgtt,qd,for consecutive 21 d. Test group was additionally given Shuxuening injection 10 mL,ivgtt,qd,for 7-10 d;and then given G. biloba tablet instead,1 tablet,po ,tid,for 21 d in total. Clinical efficacies of 2 groups were compared as well as ESS score,ADL score,blood flow in-dexes and blood lipid indexes before and after treatment,and adverse drug reaction. Cost-minimization analysis was used for phar-macoeconomic evaluation. RESULTS:After treatment,total response rate of control group and test groups were 87.23% and 83.33%,without statistical significance (P>0.05). Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in ESS score,ADL score,blood flow indexes and blood lipid indexes between 2 groups (P>0.05). After treatment,ESS score and ADL score of 2 groups were increased significantly,and whole blood viscosity,plasma viscosity,hematocrit,fibrinogen content,TC and TG were decreased significantly;there was statistical significance with before treatment(P<0.05);there was no statistical significance be-tween 2 groups(P>0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups(P>0.05). The average cost of control group and test group were (7060.9 ± 234.8) yuan and (5800.7 ± 149.5) yuan,with statistical significance (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:The sequential therapy of G. biloba extract preparation is similar to intravenous dirpping in the treatment of elderly acute cerebral infarction in therapeutic efficacy and safety. The sequential therapy is better in economics field.
