1.Clinical distribution of multidrug-resistant organisms in a comprehensive hospital
Chinese Journal of Infection Control 2014;(4):242-245
Objective To realize the characteristics of clinical distribution of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO)in a hospital,and take specific measures for the prevention and control of infection.Methods Surveillance data of 891 MDR isolates detected in a hospital between January 1 and December 31,2012 were analyzed retrospec-tively.Results Of 891 MDR isolates,extended-spectrumβ-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichiacoli ranked first(342,38.39% ),followed by ESBL-producing Klebsiellapneumoniae(195,21.89% ),MDRAcinetobacterbau-mannii(185,20.76% ),methicillin-resistantStaphylococcusaureus(138,15.49% ),MDRPseudomonasaeruginosa (27,3.03% ),ESBL-producingProteusmirabilis(2,0.22% ),and ESBL-producing Klebsiellaoxytoca(2,0.22% );Bacteria mainly concentrated on general intensive care unit(ICU)(163,18.29% ),department of neurology(136, 15.26% ),general surgery(103,11.56% ),neurosurgery(85,9.54% ),and respiratory diseases department(71, 7.97% ).The most common bacteria isolated from sputum was MDR Acinetobacterbaumannii(242,50.63% ),and mainly concentrated on general ICU;the most common bacteria isolated from urine was ESBL-producing Escherich-iacoli(141 ,80.57% ),mainly concentrated on the departments of neurology and urology. Conclusion MDRO infec-tion in this hospital mainly concentrate on lower respiratory tract and urinary system. Monitor on high-risk depart-ments and vulnerable patients should be intensified,targeted preventive measures should be stressed to curb MDRO infection and spread.

Objective To understand antimicrobial resistance and homology of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP)from an intensive care unit (ICU).Methods 11 CRKP isolates from patients and environment of an ICU in a hospital were performed antimicrobial susceptibility testing,the homology of CRKP was analyzed by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)method.Results Of 11 CRKP isolates,8 were from patients,and 3 from environment,the main specimen was sputum(n =6,54.55%).Antimicrobial susceptibility testing results re-vealed that 10 (90.91%)CRKP isolates were resistant to ciprofloxacin;11 isolates were susceptible to compound sulfame-thoxazole,intermediate to imipenem,and resistant to other antimicrobial agents(100%).All 11 CRKP isolates had 3 bands,and were divided into two types:(typeⅠ,n=10;type Ⅱ,n=1).Conclusion Antimicrobial resistance of Kleb-siella pneumoniae in ICU is serious,CRKP isolated from ICU patients and environment are of the same clone. Cleaning,disinfection,and monitoring of ICU environment should be strengthened,which is helpful for reducing, timely warning of multidrug-resistant organisms,and reducing healthcare-associated infection.
