Resistance analysis of pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from clinical specimens in anhui province from 2011 to 2013 / 安徽医科大学学报

ABSTRACT

To investigate the changes of drug resistance of pseudomonas aeruginosa ( PA) to common antimicrobial agents in recent 3 years in Anhui province. The average drug resistance rate was 15. 3%, 17. 0% for piperacillin/tazobactam, amikacin respectively, while the average resistance rate was higher for the third generation cephalospo-rin cefotaxime, ceftriaxone and ceftizoxime, which was between 42. 0% and 55. 0%. The average drug resistance rate was 25. 2% for imipenem. The resistance rates for ceftazidime, cefepime, ceftriaxone and ceftizoxime were sig-nificantly increased( P<0. 05 ) . The resistance of PA to the third generation cephalosporin and ciprofloxacin in-creased gradually, close attention should be paid to it in clinical practice.
