ABSTRACT
Objective:
To analyze the distribution of ocular bacterial pathogens and their antibiotic resistance status at a tertiary-care hospital and to provide a reference for the appropriate use of antibiotics.Methods:
Retrospective analysis was conducted with bacteria isolated from the ophthalmic samples sent for lab analysis at a tertiary-care hospital from 2012 to 2021. The suspected bacterial strains were identified with automated systems for microbial identification and susceptibility analysis and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer. VITEK 2 Compact, an automated microbial identification and antibiotic susceptibility analysis system, was used for antimicrobial susceptibility testing.Results:
A total of 1556 ophthalmology bacteria culture samples were collected, 574 of which showed bacterial growth, presenting an overall positive rate of 36.89%. Of the isolated bacteria, Gram-positive cocci, Gram-positive bacilli, Gram-negative bacilli, and Gram-negative cocci accounted for 63.15% (377/597), 18.76% (112/597), 17.09% (102/597), and 1.00% (6/597), respectively. Among the bacteria isolated in different years over the course of a decade, Gram-positive cocci always turned out to be the main cause of eye infections. Of the Gram-positive cocci, 73.47% (277/377) were isolated from patients with endophthalmitis, with the most important species being Staphylococcus epidermidis, which was followed by Streptococcus viridans. The rest, or 26.53% (100/377), of the Gram-positive cocci were isolated from patients with external eye infections, with the main isolated strains being Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus viridans, and Staphylococcus aureus. More than 70% of Staphylococcus epidermidis isolated from both endophthalmitis and external eye infections were resistant to methicillin. No strains resistant to vancomycin, linezolid, or tigecycline were detected. Staphylococcus epidermidis isolated from patients with external eye infections had a low rate of resistance to levofloxacin (2/27 or 7.41%), whereas those isolated from patients with endophthalmitis had a higher resistance rate (43/127 or 33.86%). The difference in drug resistance rate between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion:
The chief ocular bacterial pathogens identified in a tertiary-care hospital were Gram-positive cocci, among which, Staphylococcus epidermidis was the most common species. The Staphylococcus epidermidis identified in the hospital had a high rate of resistance to oxacillin, but remained highly sensitive to vancomycin, linezolid, and tigecycline. The endophthalmitis caused by Staphylococcus epidermidis in the hospital can be treated empirically with vancomycin and then the treatment plan can be further adjusted according to the results of the drug susceptibility test. However, the establishment of the breakpoint of drug susceptibility test is mainly based on the model of bloodstream infection and has limited reference value for the treatment of eye infection. The required drug distribution concentration at the infection site can be achieved by dose increase or local administration.Palavras-chave
