Abstract:ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical characteristics and drug resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii (A.baumannii) pulmonary infection. MethodsClinical data of 65 cases of A.baumannii pulmonary infections in a hospital from June, 2006 to June, 2008 were analyzed.ResultsThe incidence rate of A.baumannii infections were high in general intensive care unit (ICU, 41.54%), neurological ICU (29.23%), neurosurgical ICU (10.77%), and respiratory department(10.77%);Resistant rates to many kinds of antimicrobial agents were >70%.The infected patients were almost aged, with many underlying diseases, with long hospitalization time and various invasive treatment, as well as receiving at least 2 kinds of antimicrobial agents before developing infection; some patients complicated with infections caused by the other pathogens, most were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (34.55%) and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia(20.00%) infections. ConclusionPatients with A.baumannii infections are in serious condition, antimicrobial resistance is high, realization of the clinical characteristics, infection distribution and drug resistance pattern are important to prevent and treat infections .
