Objective To understand the pathogenic bacteria distribution and drug resistance in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD). Methods The retrospective analysis was per-formed in the sputum culturs and drug resistance results of 740 patients with AECOPD. Results The positive rate of bacterial infection was 39. 1%. Among them, gram-negative bacteria were 196 strains (62. 4%), gram-positive bacteria 21 strains (6. 7%), and fungi 97 strains(30. 9%). The main kinds of gram-negative bacteria were Pseud-omonas aeruginasa, Acinetobacter baumannii,Klebsiella pneumoniae,Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Escherichia-coli. Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus were the most frequent gram-positive bacteria. The major fungi was Candida albicans. Gram-negative bacteria showed high resistance to the third-generation cephalosporins,penicillins, moderate resistance to aminoglycosides,low resistance to imipenem. Gram-positive bacteria were resistant to many kinds of antibiotics, but they were responsive to linezolid and vancomycin. Fungi showed high sensitivity to antifungal agents. Conclusion The pathogens of AECOPD mainly are gram-nega-tive bacteria with a high drug resistance rate. To monitor pathogenic bacteria is conducive to master the pathogens distribution, drug resistance and provide the basis of rational use of antibiotics,which can slow down the emergence and spread of resistant bacteria.
