ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and resistance of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents commonly used.Antimicrobial agents should be used rationally based on the results of susceptibility testing.METHODS The clinical isolates were identified with W/A-40 or VITEK-32.The results were analyzed by WHONET 5.3 software according to CLSI 2005.RESULTS A total of 2892 clinical isolates were collected in 2007.Gram-negative bacilli accounted for 68.2% and Gram-positive cocci accounted for 31.8%.The top eight pathogens were Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Escherichia coli,Klebsiella spp,Acinetobacter spp,coagulase-negative Staphylococcus,Enterobacter spp,Serratia spp and S.aureus.About 76.4% of S.aureus isolates were MRSA,81.6% of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus isolates were meticillin-resistant.Under 20.0% of Enterobacteriaceae strains were resistant to cefoperazone/sulbactam,imipenem and piperacillin/tazobactam.About 16.3% and 32.5% of P.aeruginosa isolates were resistant to cefoperazone/sulbactam and imipenem.CONCLUSIONS Gram-negative bacilli were dominant isolates in our hospital during 2007.P.aeruginosa is the most frequent pathogenwith severe antibiotic resistance.Enterobacteriaceae are susceptible to cefoperazone/sulbactam and imipenem.
