Objective To discuss the distributional characteristics and drug-resistance of Enterococcus species isolated from urine specimens.Methods 3096 middle-segment urine specimens were collected since January to December in 2011 for culture.The identification of pathogenic bacteria and antibiotics sensitivity tests were carried out with VITEK2-compact combined with GN,AST-GN13,GP,AST-GP67,and antibiotics sensitivity tested performed by K-B and E-test at the same time.The results were determined by CLSI 2011.Results 1248 of 3096 pathogenic bacteria were isolated (40.31％).549 strains of Escherichia coli were detected (43.99％) which was the most common and 159 strains of Enterococcus were detected (12.74％) which was the second most common.The Enterococcus detection rate in woman (15.02％)was higher than that in man (10.35％),in out-patients (15.54％) than the that in hospitalized patients (12.49％),and in the patients of non-surgical departments (13.65％) than those of surgical departments (11.38％).The Enterococcus was absolutely sensitive to tigecycline,and the sensitive rate to vancomycin and linezolid were over 90％.The antibiotics sensitivity was higher for Enterococcus faecalis than that for Enterococcus faecium,and in surgical departments than non-surgical departments.Conclusions The detection rate of Enterococcus in urinary tract infection patients is quite high and varied between sexes and departments.The difference of drug resistance between species is obvious,and the bacteria species should be identified in order to use the antibiotics reasonably to postpone the development of drug resistant strains.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects and mechanism of Artemisia argyi ferment substance on systemic Candida albicans infection. Methods The model of systemic Candida albicans infection was established in immunosuppressed mice. The model mice were randomly divided into the model control,Artemisia argyi ferment substance( AAFS) at different doses(100,200,and 400 mg·kg-1 )and fluconazole group(20 mg·kg-1 ),30 mice in each. Mice in each treatment group were given therapeutic drugs by gavage for 5 consecutive days,twice daily. The survival of mice was determined 21 days after the model was set up. The serum levels of IFN-γand IL-2 were determined by ELISA. The proliferation activity of T lymphocyte in the spleen was detected by MTT assay. The number of living fungi in liver and kidney tissues was counted. Results Compared with the model control,AAFS at middle and high doses and fluconazole significantly increased the survival rate of mice,the serum levels of IFN-γand IL-2,and the proliferation activity of T lymphocyte in the spleen,but decreased the number of living fungi in tissues(P〈0. 01). Compared with low dose AAFS,middle and high doses of AAFS and fluconazole showed significantly different effect on each index(P〈0. 05 or P〈0. 01),but there was no difference among these groups(P〉0. 05). Conclusion AAFS at 200-400 mg·kg-1 has inhibitory effects on systemic Candida albicans infection in mice,the mechanism of which is related to increasing the proliferation of T lymphocyte in spleen and the levels of IFN-γand IL-2 in serum.
