OBJECTIVE: To identify and analyze drug sensitivity of Corynebacterium glucuronolyticum iscolated from clinic, and to provide reference for clinical drug use. METHODS: Two strains isolated from the urine specimens of urolithiasis-induced urinary tract infection patients in our hospital were inoculated into Columbia blood plate and the MacConkey plate. The growth of strains was observed and counted. Protein mass spectrometry of strains was detected by MALDI-TOF-MS. DNA of strains was extracted, and PCR was used to amplify the 16S ribosome RNA (rRNA) sequence. Bi-directional sequencing of 1 500 bp target bands was conducted. Blast comparison between it and GenBank database was conducted to identify bacterial strain. Drug resistance of 2 strains was monitored by Etest assay. RESULTS: Two strains grew on the Columbia blood plate (with colony forming unit >105 CFU/mL) and did not grow on the MacConkey plate. Two strains were Gram-positive Corynebacterium and showed palisading or eight type arrangement. Two strains were C. glucuronolyticum by MALDI-TOF-MS identification, with reliability of 99. 9%. The characteristic peaks of m/z 2 431, 3 089, 3 364, 3 378, 4 200, 5 508, 6 302, 6 637, 6 730, 6 946, 12 603 appeared. Blast comparison showed that the sequence homology of 2 strains compared with C. glucuronolyticum strain known in GenBank were higher than 98 %. Results of drug sensitivity test showed that strain 1 was resistant to ceftriaxone and ciprofloxacin, and sensitive to 14 other antibiotics as penicillin G; strain 2 was resistant to ceftriaxone, erythromycin, ciprofloxacin, tetracycline and clindamycin, moderately sensitive to cefotaxime, and sensitive to 10 other antibiotics. CONCLUSIONS: Two strains are C. glucuronolyticum, and drug resistance of them to commonly used antibiotics is different. The strains are rare pathogen of urinary tract and show multidrug resistance. Antibiotics should be selected according to the results of strain identification and drug sensitivity test.

Objective To investigate the survival status of people with disabilities in urban areas of Lanzhou, China and discuss the correlation of their quality of life to disability attitude and quality of care and support of disabled people. Methods From August to November, 2016, 606 persons with disability registered in Chengguan District of Lanzhou were selected by multistage stratified cluster sampling. They were investigated in home-based visit with World Health Organization Quality of Life-Disability Scale for physical disability, World Health Organization-Disability Attitude Scale and World Health Organization Quality of Care and Support Scale-Disability Scale. Results The quality of life scored in average of (40.76±14.79), and different with the demographic characteristics (P<0.05). Pearson's correlation analysis showed that the score in all fields of quality of life and the total score positively correlated with most dimensions of disability attitude score (r>0.080, P<0.05) and most dimensions score of quality of care and support (r>0.083, P<0.05).Conclusion It is important to strengthen the precise security system for people with disabilities, and strive to establish a full-cycle, all-round social support system for them.
