Pathogens distribution of cerebrospinal fluid and antibiotic resistance analysis in pediatric intensive care unit from 2012 to 2016 / 中国小儿急救医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the composition of pathogens from cerebrospinal fluid culture in pediatric intensive care unit,and to explore the distribution of the pathogens,antibiotic resistance profile,infection source and prognosis.Methods The results of cerebrospinal fluid culture in pediatric intensive care unit from January 2012 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.Bacteria identification and antimicrobial susceptibility were assayed by Vitek Compat Ⅱ system from Bio Mrieux Company.Some bacterial strains were tested by disk diffusion method or E-test.Results A total of 982 cerebrospinal fluid were tested during research period,and 78 were positive with positive rate of 7.9%.A total of 81 strains of pathogens were isolated,there were 46 strains of gram negative bacteria (56.8%) and 35 strains of gram positive bacteria (43.2%).The top three bacteria were Acinetobacter baumannii(28.4%),coagulase negative Staphylococcus(19.8%),and Escherichia coli(13.6%).The resistance to antibiotics was quite different,manifesting muti-resistance or extensively drug resistance.Acinetobacter baumannii was the predominant specy of gram negative bacteria,which was highly resistant to meropenem and cephalosporins and highly sensitive to tigecycline.Coagulase negative Staphylococcus was the predominant specy of gram positive bacteria,which was highly resistant to cefazolin and ampicillin and highly sensitive to linezolid and vancomycin.Conclusion Gram negative bacteria are the main species of cerebrospinal fluid culture in pediatric intensive care unit.Acinetobacter baumannii is the major pathogen,which was highly resistant to meropenem and cephalosporins.
