Nosocomial Infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Approach of Drug-resistance:A Clinical Overview / 中华医院感染学杂志

OBJECTIVE To investigate nosocomial infection and drug-resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa(PAE) in our hospital to provide the evidence for clinical monitoring and control of nosocomial infection.METHODS The microbiological system MicroScan WalkAway-40 was used to identify PAE and the drug-resistance in vitro was determined by K-B methods.RESULTS Among 325 strains of PAE in two years,imipenem-resistant P.aeruginosa(IRPA) accounted for 14.8%.The highest isolating rates occurred in the intensive care unit(ICU),accounted for 20.9%.The following was senile disease department,accounted for 19.4%.The respiratory department rated the third,accounted for 16.9%.The resistance of IRPA to 11 kinds of common antibiotics was significantly higher than imipenem-sensitive P.aeruginosa(ISPA).Except the drug-resistance of IRPA to ceftazidime,cefepime and aztreonam was below 50.0%,that to the other eight antibiotics was all over 50.0%.CONCLUSIONS The drug-resistance of PAE is very serious in our hosptial.We should perform rigorous monitoring and prevent the outbreak of nosocomial infection with PAE.

Correlated Factors in Hospital Acquired Infection of Liver Cirrhosis / 中华医院感染学杂志

OBJECTIVE To study the correlated factors in acquired infection of liver cirrhosis and offer more reliable theory of treatment for clinic. METHODS The liver cirrhosis history of 302 cases was retrospectively analyzed and reviewed. RESULTS From them 43 cases acquired infection during hospitalization, with 61 case-times of infection, the rate of hospital acquired infection was 14.2%, the rate of case-times of infection was 20.20%. Nineteen cases were died and the mortality rate was 44.19%, Among the 259 non-infected patients only 5 cases were died, the mortality rate was 1.93%, the difference was significant (P

Study on resistant genes of beta-lactam antibiotics from clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa / 中华检验医学杂志

Objective To investigate ?-Lactamase coding genes and OprD2 gene in multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from Xiangfan region in Hubei province.Method Polymerase chain reaction(PCR) was used to detect various ?-Lactamase coding genes including TEM、SHV、OXA、PER、GES、IMP、VIM、plasmid type AmpC ?-Lactamase DHA 、MIR and OprD2 in 35 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.Results The detection rate of ?-Lactamase coding genes TEM、OXA、plasmid type AmpC ?-Lactamase DHA were 51.4%、17.1% and 2.9% respectively, all of the tested strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa lossed OprD2 gene,but SHV、PER、GES、IMP、VIM、MIR genes were negative.Conclusion The study indicated that these Pseudomonas aeruginosa carried genes of TEM、OXA、plasmid type AmpC ?-Lactamase DHA and lossed OprD2 gene, which was the essential resistance mechanism of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to Beta-lactam antibiotics in local aera.

Imipenem Resistance Mechanisms in Pseudomonas aeruginosa / 中华医院感染学杂志

OBJECTIVE To study the mechanisms of imipenem resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.METHODS PCR method was used to detect and analyze P.aeruginosa imipenem-resistance associated IMP gene and VIM gene of metallo-?-lactamases and outer membrane protein D2(OprD_2) gene.RESULTS All 35(imipenem)-resistant P.aeruginosa strains were negative for IMP gene and VIM gene of metallo-?-lactamases;and for OprD_2 gene;but 23S rRNA gene of all 35 P.aeruginosa strains was positive.CONCLUSIONS The study suggested that in(Xiangfan) area,Hubei Province P.aeruginosa doesn′t produce metallo-?-(lactamases),but in genetics it is(identified) that the loss of outermembrane protein D2(OprD_2) gene is the(essential) mechanisms of imipenem(resistance) in P.aeruginosa in Xiangfan area,Hubei Province.
