ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the changes and characteristics of respiratory tract bacteria in Hebei 3A Hospital, and to provide new rationale for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods A single-center retrospective analysis was conducted. 7497 patients with respiratory tract infection admitted to Hebei Chest Hospital from January 2013 to December 2016 were enrolled. Deep sputum was collected, and the bacterial cultures and susceptibility analysis was conducted in sputum and upper respiratory secretions were collected by fiberoptic bronchoscopy.Results A total of 7497 patients with respiratory tract infection were enrolled in the study, and 11909 strains of 13 kinds of dominant pathogens were isolated. The dominant pathogens for respiratory tract infection wereMonilia albican (23.7%),Klebsiella pneumoniae (12.9%),Pseudomonas aeruginosa (11.6%),Escherichia coli (9.5%),Candida glabrata (9.1%),Acinetobacter baumanii (7.9%),Aspergillus (6.7%),Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (4.5%), coagulase negativeStaphylococcus(3.7%) and some species ofPseudomonas (3.7%),Staphylococcus aureus (3.0%),Aerobacter cloacae (1.9%), andCandida tropicalis (1.8%). A total of 6198 strains of 7 kinds of Gram negative (G-) bacilli infection dominant pathogens accounts for 52.0% of all infections,Klebsiella pneumonia (24.8%),Pseudomonas aeruginosa (22.3%),Escherichia coli (18.2%) andAcinetobacter baumanii (15.3%) were the main pathogens, and increased year by year. Susceptibility analysis showed that the preferred antibiotics for G- bacteria were carbapenems, followed by risperidone, sulbactam, cefepime, amikacin, and the third generation of cephalosporins. A total of 798 strains of 2 kinds of Gram positive (G+) bacilli infection dominant pathogens accounted for 6.7% of all infections, were coagulase negativeStaphylococcus(54.8%) and Staphylococcus aureus (45.2%), each had changed little by year. Susceptibility analysis showed that G+ bacteria were sensitive to glycopeptides, followed by cefoxitin, cotrimoxazole, the tetracyclines, quinolones, azithromycin, erythromycin and so on. The advantages of 4 species of fungi were 4913 strains, accounted for all of the 41.3% strains, with 57.5% of Candida albicans, and the trend was increasing year by year. Susceptibility analysis results showed that the antifungal susceptibility of dominant fungi were higher.Conclusions G- bacilli is still the main source of infection, and showed an upward trend year by year. Fungal infection rate cannot be ignored, and we must pay attention to fungal infection incentives. We should strengthen the rational use of antibiotics.
