Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of common pathogens causing urinary tract infection (UTI) in children in Beijing, so as to provide reference for clinical rational use of antibiotics.Methods:It was a retrospective cohort study. The results of clinical data, urine culture and drug sensitivity in children with urinary infection treated in the Department of Nephrology, Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics from June 2018 to June 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the diagnostic criteria of "Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of UTI (2015 edition) - Complicated urinary tract infection", the children were divided into complex group and simple group according to whether they had complicated factors, and the pathogenic factors of the complex group were analyzed. The χ 2 test was used to compare the distribution of pathogenic bacteria in urine culture and the resistance rate of Escherichia coli to common antibiotics between the two groups. Results:A total of 187 children with UTI were enrolled in this study. The age ranged from 1 month after birth to 17 years old, and the median age was 8 months. There were 88 males (47.1%) and 99 females (52.9%), and the male/female ratio was 1:1.125. Male infants accounted for 79.5% (70/88) of male infants and female infants accounted for 48.5% (48/99) of female infants. There were 45 cases (24.1%) in the simple UTI group and 142 cases (75.9%) in the complicated UTI group. A total of 216 strains of pathogens were isolated, mainly Gram-negative bacteria (151/216, 69.9%), of which Escherichia coli was the most common (86/216, 39.8%). The second was gram-positive bacteria (57/216, 26.4%), among which Enterococcus faecium (37/216, 17.1%) was the most common. The positive rate of Escherichia coli infection in the simple UTI group was significantly higher than that in the complicated UTI group [71.1% (32/45) vs. 31.6% (54/171), χ2=23.234, P<0.001], and the positive rate of Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus faecium and fungal infection in the simple UTI group was significantly lower than those in the complicated UTI group. However, the differences were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The resistance rate of Escherichia coli to ampicillin was the highest in children with UTI [91.9% (79/86)], and it was sensitive to amikacin, meropenem, imipenem, piperacillin/tazobactam, cefepime, piperacillin, cefazolin, cefoperazone/sulbactam. The drug resistance rates were 5.8% (5/86), 5.8% (5/86), 9.3% (8/86), 10.5% (9/86), 14.0% (12/86), 15.1% (13/86), 18.6% (16/86) and 18.6% (16/86), respectively. The resistance rate of Escherichia coli infection to ceftriaxone in the complicated UTI group was significantly higher than that in the simple UTI group [59.3% (32/54) vs. 24.4% (11/32), χ2=4.977, P=0.026]. Eight fungi (3.7%) were susceptible to fluconazole, voriconazole, itraconazole and amphotericin B. Conclusions:The main pathogens of UTI in children are Gram-negative bacteria, among which Escherichia coli is the most common pathogen, but the proportion of infection has a downward trend in recent years. The resistance rate of ceftazidime and ceftriaxone is relatively low, which can be used as empirical drugs for children with UTI in this region.
