ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To investigate the tendency of bacterial distribution and resistance of hospitial infections,and to provide the reference for the clinical treatment and infection control in hospital.METHODS Bacteria isolated from patients in our hospital from Jan 2004 to Dec 2005 were identified by ATB expression,and bacterial susceptibility tests were performed on strains using Kirby-Bauer method.RESULTS A total of 3066 pathogens strains were isolated,among them 927 strains were Gram-positive cocci(30.2%).The most common pathogens of them were Staphylococcus.Meticillin resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase negative Staphylococcus(CNS) accounted for 69.0% and 77.6%,respectively.In our data,no vancomycin resistant S.aureus were isolated.There were 2134 strains of Gram-negative bacilli(69.6%),the most common pathogens of them were Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Escherichia coli,Klebsiella pneumoniae,Acinetobacter baumannii and Enterobacter cloacae.The ESBLs producing strains of E.coli and K.pneumoniae accounted for 30.1% and 40.1%,respectively.The highest susceptible to Gram-negative bacilli was carbapenem,then were cefoperazone/sulbactam,piperacillin /tazobactam and cefepime.Mainly pathogenic bacteria were multi-resistant to some antibiotics.CONCLUSIONS Drug resistance of the nosocomial infection bacteria is a serious problem.It's important and urgent to carry out surveillance of bacterial resistance for appropriate using of antibiotics and effective controlling nosocomial infections.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To understand mecA gene distribution in Staphylococcus aureus and its role in antibiotics-resistance.METHODS In this study,a total of 47 S.aureus strains were isolated from hospitalized patients.Agar disk diffusion test was conducted to determine the resistance of S.aureus to antibiotics.The DNA of these strains were extracted and purified.The mecA gene was tested by PCR and the relation between the mecA gene and antibiotics-resistance was analyzed.RESULTS Of 47 strains,33(70.2%) were MRSA.Of 33 MRSA,only 3 strains were susceptible to glycopeptides antibiotics.Only 2 strains(14.3%) of 14 MSSA were susceptible to all of the 12 antibotics.The results of PCR revealed that 32 out of 33 MRSA(97.0%) carried mecA in their genome.One strain was mecA gene negative.Among 14 MSSA,3(21.4%)strains carried mecA gene.CONCLUSIONS The isolation rate of MRSA in S.aureus is high.The resistance to antibiotics of MRSA is popular Glycopeptides antibiotics.Most of MRSA carry mecA gene,which plays an important role in antibiotics-resistance.Fewer MSSA carry mecA gene.

The factors related to nosocomial C. albicans infection were the use of antibiotics and condition,invasive procedure,physical fitness,age,basic state of patients,etc.CONCLUSIONS The incidence and resistance of C. albicans infection in a hospital have increasing by years. Proper use of antibiotics and immunodepressors,reduction of unnecessary operation,and early diagnosis and treatment are the keys in preventing from systemic C. albicans infection.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To discuss the constitution and drug sensitivity of pathogens that cause pulmonary infection in NICU. METHODS Sputa were collected from patients hospitalized in NICU from Mar 2006 to Mar 2007 and analyzed for distribution and drug sensitivity of pathogenic bacteria. RESULTS All 555 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated. The most common pathogens were Pseudomonas aeruginosa(183 strains,33.0%),Staphylococcus aureus(114 strains,20.5%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae(56 strains,10.1%). Nearly most pathogenic bacteria were multi-resistant to commonly used antibiotics. Meticillin resistant strains of S. aureus accounted for 97.4%. The percentange of fungi strains was increasing in NICU. The main isolated strains were Candida tropicalis(5.9%),C. albicans(3.8%)and C. glabrata(3.6%). And all of the fungi were sensitive to amphotericin B. fluconazole. and ketoconazole. CONCLUSIONS Pulmonary infections in NICU are mainly caused by Gram-negative bacteria with high rate of drug resistance. It can be of great importance to make drug sensitivity tests at regular intervals to guide the use of antibiotics.
