Abstract:ObjectiveTo investigate the resistance of clinical bacterial isolates from a hospitals in 2010.MethodsAntimicrobial susceptibility of bacterial isolates from inpatients was detected by BDautomatic identification of bacterial analyzer, and data were analyzed with WHONET5.4 software.ResultsA total of 2 192 pathogenic strains were isolated from various clinical specimens from January to December, 2010, 67.97% of which was gramnegative bacilli and 32.03% was grampositive cocci. 19.69% of Staphylococcus aureus and 54.59% of coagulase negative Staphylococcus was methicillinresistant (MRSA and MRCNS respectively). The resistant rates of methicillinresistant strains to βlactams and other antimicrobial agents were much higher than those of methicillinsensitive strains. The resistant rate of MRSA to sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, rifampin, tetracycline, and gentamicin was 1.67%, 41.54%,44.62%,and 58.46%, respectively, the resistant rates of MRCNS to rifampin and tetracycline was 17.27% and 36.70%, respectively; vancomycin,teicoplanin and linezolidresistant strain was not found. The resistant rates of Enterococcus faecalis to most detected antimicrobial agents were much lower than those of Enterococcus faecium. One linezolidresistant Enterococcus faecalis isolate was first reported in this hospital, vancomycinresistant strain was not found. Extendedspectrum βlactamase(ESBL)producing strains accounted for 44.29% of Escherichia coli and 15.79% of Klebsiella pneumoniae. Resistant rates of ESBLproducing Enterobacteriaceae strains were higher than nonESBLproducing Enterobacteriaceae strains. Resistant rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to imipenem and meropenem was 26.73% and 13.79%, respectively, resistant rate of Acinetobacter spp. (92.91% were Acinetobacter baumannii) to above two carbapenems was 31.35% and 27.17%, respectively.ConclusionBacterial resistance is on the rise, especially drug resistance of gramnegative bacilli; resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa to carbapenems is increasing.It is important to use antimicrobial agents rationally, detect pandrugresistant strains early, and strengthen infection control.
