Objective To explore the effect of combination therapy of aminoglycosides with other antibiotics on reducing the mutant selective window of Acinetobacter baumannii. Methods Three aminoglycoside antibiotics (amikacin, tobramycin, netilmicin)and four frequently used antibiotics against Acinetobacter baumannii in clinical practice (cefoperazone-sulbactam, imipenem-cilastatin,ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin)were studied.The minimum inhibitory concentrations of these antibiotics against Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC1 9606 were determined by E-test.The mutant prevention concentrations of the four antibiotics against Acinetobacter baumannii alone or in combination with aminoglycosides were determined by agar dilution method.The selective index was calculated. The effect of aminoglycosides on mutant selective window of Acinetobacter baumannii was evaluated according to the change of selective index after combination. Results The selective index of cefoperazone-sulbactam,imipenem-cilastatin,ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin against A.baumannii ATCC19606 was 16,>32, 16 and 32.When combined with amikacin,the selective index was 1,2,4 and 4,respectively.When combined with tobramycin,the index was 2,2,8 and 8,respectively.When combined with netilmicin,the index was 2,4,8 and 16, respectively. Conclusions The mutant prevention concentration of the four antibiotics against Acinetobacter baumannii is significantly reduced when combined with any of the three aminoglycosides,which is helpful to decrease the incidence of mutants and control resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. Amikacin-based combination shows the most evident effect on reducing the mutant selective window of Acinetobacterbaumannii.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of linezolid in empirical treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus (MRS) pneumonia. Methods One hundred and thirty-five hospitalized patients with MSR pneumonia receiving linezolid from April 2009 to October 2010 were enrolled in this retrospective cohort study, and all subjects were assigned to two groups: 75 cases with empirical treatment (linezolid 0. 6 g by infusion q12h at admission) , and 60 cases with objective treatment (linezolid after the sputum culture). The severity score, clinical effect and adverse effect were observed, and the therapeutic effects in patients with high risk factors were especially evaluated. SPSS13.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results The scores were decreased significantly after finishing therapeutic causes for 3 and 7 days in both groups (tempirical =12.29 and 16.53, tobjective =9.36 and 11.49, P<0. 05). There were significant differences in severity scores after 3 and 7 days between empirical and objective treatment groups (t =2. 64 and 3. 08, P < 0. 01). There were significant differences in absorption time, length of ICU and total hospital stay between two groups (t =6. 61 , 4. 39 and 10. 25, P <0. 05). In empirical and objective group, the effective rates were 88.0% (66/75) and 83.3% (50/60) (x2 = 0.60, P > 0.05 ). In the patients with high risk factors, the effective rates of two groups were 86. 8% (33/38) and 63. 6% (14/22) , and the difference was significant (x2 =4.42, P<0.05). The rate of adverse effects were 6.7% (5/75) in empirical group and 5.0% (3/60) in objective group, and the difference was not significant (x2 =0. 17, P > 0. 05). Conclusion Linezolid can be used as empirical treatment for MRS pneumonia with rapid symptoms relieve and high efficacy, especially for patients with high risk.

OBJECTIVE To study the existence of the ?-lactamase gene produced by multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from respiratory tract. METHODS Antimicrobial susceptibility was tested by K-B method. A modified three-dimensional test was used to detect the ?-lactamase phenotypes. The genotypes were analyzed by PCR amplification and product sequencing. RESULTS ?-Lactamases were detected in 29 out of the 46 isolates. Twenty-one isolates produced AmpC ?-lactamase,two of them harboring CARB-3 gene. Two isolates produced ESBLs harbored TEM gene. Six isolates produced other type of ?-lactamases. Four out of 6 harbored CARB-3 gene and three IMP gene. The oprD2 gene was deleted in 34 isolates. CONCLUSIONS Chromosomal-mediated AmpC ?-lactamase is the major ?-lactamases produced by multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa and CARB-3 is second. Lack oprD2 gene is popular.
