Abstract:ObjectiveTo understand the constituent and antimicrobial resistance of pathogens causing intraabdominal infection, so as to provide reference for clinical treatment of intraabdominal infection.MethodsPathogens causing intraabdominal infection in patients in a hospital from January 2011 to December 2013 were identified and performed antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and results were analyzed with WHONET5.6 software.ResultsA total of 810 nonrepeated strains were isolated from 15 946 intraabdominal specimens, isolation rate was 5.08%; isolation rates of gramnegative bacilli, grampositive bacteria, and fungi were 59.88%(n=485), 33.95% (n=275), and 6.17%(n=50) respectively; the top five pathogens were Escherichia coli (E. coli,24.20%), Enterococcus faecium (E. faecium, 15.06%), Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii, 8.89%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae, 7.66%), and coagulase negative staphylococcus (CNS, 6.91%). The detection rates of extendedspectrum β1actamases(ESBLs) in E. coli and K. pneumoniae were 59.18% and 32.79% respectively. Enterobacteriaceae were still highly sensitive to imipenem, but carbapenemresistant Enterobacteriaceae strains accounted for 4.08%-6.67% ; multidrugresistant A. baumannii accounted for 52.11%(37/71), methicillinresistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus and CNS accounted for 53.57%(15/28) and 71.43%(40/56) respectively, resistance rate of E. faecium to vancomycin was 8.26%.ConclusionThe main pathogens causing intraabdominal infection in this hospital are gramnegative bacilli, especially E. coli, while E. faecium is the most common grampositive pathogen, antimicrobial resistance of bacteria is still serious.
