Abstract:ObjectiveTo investigate clinical distribution and antimicrobial resistance of multidrugresistant organisms(MDROs)in a hospital in 2012, and provide reference for the prevention of MDROs infection.MethodsDistribution and antimicrobial susceptibility testing results of MDROs isolated from patients in a hospital between January and December 2012 were analyzed by targeted monitoring method. ResultsA total of 370 MDROs strains were isolated, isolation rate of gramnegative bacilli and grampositive cocci was 92.16%(n=341) and 7.84%(n=29,all were methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus[MRSA])respectively; the top five departments with high MDROs isolation rates were intensive care unit(n=79 isolates), department of neurosurgery (n=65), neurology (n=40) general surgery(n=39), and geriatrics(n=32). Resistant rates of 29 MRSA strains to compound sulfamethoxazole,tigecycline,and rifampicin were all>60%, no vancomycinresistant strain was detected; resistant rates of extendedspectrum betalactamase (ESBLs)producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae to imipenem were >75%,resistant rates to cefoperazone / sulbactam and amikacin were about 50%; multidrugresistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii were generally not sensitive to antimicrobial agents, multidrugresistant Acinetobacter baumannii were almost pandrugresistant strains.ConclusionThe major MDROs isolated from this hospital are gramnegative bacteria, strains are mainly from patients with severe diseases and elderly age. Monitor and control measures on healthcareassociated infection should be intensified to prevent the spread of MDROs.
