ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the changing antibiotic resistance profile of Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis strains collected from children in Sichuan province from 2013 to 2016,provide some reference for rational utilization of clinical antimicrobial agents.Methods Collected the infection data of Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis strains isolated from children which reported in Sichuan Province Drug Resistance Monitoring Report from 2013 to 2016.The experimental results were analyzed by WHONET5.6 software.Results The prevalence of H.influenzae increased with time from 8.95％ in 2013 to 16.6％ in 2016.The prevalence of M.catarrrhalis increased with time from 4.16％ in 2013 to 6.34％ in 2016.Among the 15 896 clinical strains of H.influenzae,the highest resistance rate was to ampicillin,which was 71.6％ in 2016.The resistance rate to cefaclor also increased from 26.1％ in 2013 to 59.5％ in 2016 for increase of 33.4％.The insensitivity rate to azithromycin increased from 8.3％ in 2013 to 25％ in 2016.However,the insensitivity rate to ceftriaxone and moxifloxacin decreased in recent years and the susceptibility rate to ceftriaxone,cefotaxime,levofloxacin and moxifloxacin were higher than 90％ in each year.The resistance rate of H.influenzae strains from children were higher than the stains from all patients.The insensitivity rate to azithromycin in strains from children and all patients increased from 8.3％,10.2％ in 2013 to 25％,22.1 ％ in 2016,respectively.The 5 625 clinical strains of M.catarrrhalis re mained highly susceptible to the amoxicillin-clavulanic acid,ceftriaxone,cefotaxime,levofloxacin,ciprofloxacin (greater than 90％).The resistance rate to cotrimoxazole increased from 15.1 ％ in 2013 to 59.1 ％ in 2016.Conclusion H.influenzae are still susceptible to the third generation cephalosporins (greater than 90 ％),which can be used as the first choice in clinical practice.Nearly 70 ％ of these strains were resistant to ampicillin and cotrimoxazole,which is inappropriate for clinical therapy.The resistance rate to cotrimoxazole in the M.catarrrhalis strains from children increased from 15.1％ in 2013 to 59.1 ％ in 2016,and the resistance rate to the other test drug in M.catarrrhalis did not change much in the-year period.
