ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To find the distribution of pathogens and their antibiotics sensitivity in patients with bile duct diseases in order to guide clinical uses of antibiotics. METHODS Totally 128 bile samples were collected for bacterial cultures and sensitivity tests. RESULTS Pathogens were found in 68 samples(53.0%).The common pathogens were Escherichia coli(22.9%),Klebsiella pneumoniae(15.7%),Pseudomonas aeruginosa(11.4%) and Enterococcus faecalis(10.0%).Most bacteria were sensitive to imipenem,vancomycin,imipenem/cilastatin(Tienam),third and fourth generation cephalosporins;but resistant to penicillins,second-generation cephalosporins,macrolides and quinolones. CONCLUSIONS The most pathogenic bacteria in biles are E.coli,K.pneumoniae and Ent.faecalis and the antibiotic sensitivity tests can help clinical application of antibiotics.
