Objective:To summarize the drug resistance characteristics of clinical pathogen isolates in a tuberculosis specialized hospital from 2017 to 2023,and understand the distribution characterisitics of pathogens and their resistance to antimicrobial agents.Methods:The isolates from January 2017 to December 2023 were identified and subjected to drug susceptibility tests using the VITEK 2-compact system. The susceptibilities of the isolates to antimicrobial agents were determined by the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC)methods according to the CLSI(2023)guideline. The data of detection of different kinds of bacteria,specimen distribution and the detection rates of major drug-resistant gram-negative bacteria in hospital antimicrobial resistance were analyzed. Chi square test were performed to analyze one or more sets of data related to detection rate or drug resistance rate by SPSS 17.0.Results:A total of 9 993 isolates were detected,among which 9 079(90.9%)were gram-negative bacteria and 914(9.1%)were gram-positive bacteria. From 2017 to 2022,among all gram-negative isolates,the top three most frequently isolated pathogens were Klebsiella pneumonia,followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii. The overall resistance rates to carbapenems in Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia,and Escherichia coli were 43.7%(495/1 133),19.4%(276/1 423),8.4%(279/3 304),3.6%(19/521),respectively. The overall detection rates of ceftriaxone/ciprofloxacin-resistant Klebsiella pneumonia(CTX/CRO-R-KPN),or Escherichia coli(CTX/CRO-R-ECO),and quinolone-resistant Escherichia coli(QNR-ECO)were 19.5%(644/3 304),57.6%(300/521),77.4%(403/521),respectively. The difference in resistance rates between imipenem-resistant and imipenem-susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae was statistically significant( P<0.05). Except for CTX/CRO-R-ECO( χ2=7.9 ,P>0.05),significant differences were observed in the detection rates of other major drug-resistant gram-negative bacteria in hospital( P<0.05). The detection of some drug-resistant strains showed an upward trend in recent years. Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and Escherichia coli exhibited higher resistance rate to other antibiotics. Conclusions:The detection rates of major drug-resistant gram-negative bacteria have increased in the past two years. Carbapenem-resistant strains exhibit relatively high resistance rate to cephalosporin and quinolone antibiotics. Although carbapenem antibiotics remain effective against Enterobacteriaceae,strengthened antimicrobial resistance monitoring and control of multidrug-resistant bacteria spread are necessary.
