Susceptibility of these isolates to 14 kinds of commonly used antimicrobial agents were determined by KirbyBauer method, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of S.pneumoniae to penicillin was determined by agar dilution method.ResultsS.pneumoniae were mainly from pediatric department(36.98%), sputum was main specimen (64.07%); patients’ age showed bimodal distribution, mainly <5 and >50 years old. The resistance rates of S. pneumoniae to erythromycin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline, and clindamycin were all >80%. MIC range of penicillin to all S.pneumoniae was 0.015- ≥ 32.0 μg/mL, MIC50 and MIC90 was 2.0 μg/mL and 16.0 μg/mL respectively. The resistance rates of noninvasive S. pneumoniae was higher than invasive one.ConclusionAntimicrobial resistance of S. pneumoniae in this hospital is serious, the emergence of penicillinresistant S. pneumoniae should be paid attention during clinical treatment.

      Abstract:

      ObjectiveTo investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance of infection caused by clinically isolated Enterobacteriaceae from a hospital.MethodsData about Enterobacteriaceae isolated from January 2005 to June 2012 was analyzed statistically.Results A total of 5 538 isolates of Enterobacteriaceae were isolated, the top three specimen sources were urine(35.63%,1 973 isolates),respiratory tract(32.38%,1 793 isolates),wound secretion, drainage and pus(10.88%,603 isolates); the top five isolated pathogens were Escherichia coli (49.41%,2 736 isolates), Klebsiella pneumoniae (25.30%,1 401 isolates), Enterobacter cloacae(6.37%,353 isolates), Proteus mirabilis(4.24%,235 isolates) and Salmonella spp. (4.17%,231 isolates). The resistant rates of most Enterobacteriaceae to imipenem and meropenem were <2%; amikacin and piperacillin/tazobactam were with high activity against Enterobacteriaceae, the resistant rate was <10%. Resistance rate of Escherichia coli from sputum specimens was significantly higher than those from blood and urine specimens(both P<0.05).ConclusionEnterobacteriaceae in this hospital are mainly isolated from urine and respiratory tract, and with varied degree of resistance to different antimicrobial agents, carbapenems remains high activity against Enterobacteriaceae,attention should be paid to the emergence of carbapenemresistanct strains.

      Abstract:

      导尿管相关性泌尿道感染(catheterassociated urinary tract infection,CAUTI)是常见的医院感染类型,可导致高发病率和死亡率。每年有超过100万患者发生泌尿道感染,占所有医院和疗养院感染的40%,其中80%是医院感染[1-3]。其发病率高,治疗费用也很高。在美国,每年平均有4.24~4.51亿美元用于治疗此类感染[4]。导尿管相关性菌血症每例治疗费用大约2 900美元[1]。Kunin等[5]对1 540所疗养院的调查结果显示,留置导尿管的患者在住院期间发生泌尿道感染的危险性是未留置导尿管患者的3倍。留置导尿管时间<1周的患者可避免感染,但对于留置导尿管数月甚至数年的老年人或伤残患者,感染是不可避免的。近年来,国内外学者在感染相关因素等方面进行了大量研究,现总结如下.
