ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the distribution and antibiotic resistance of the pathogens isolated from blood of the inpatients in hematology ward.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility test was carried out using Kirby-Bauer method.The data were analyzed by WHONET 5.6 software.Results Of the 521 microbial isolates collected,gram-negative bacilli accounted for 47.2％,grampositive cocci 45.7％ and fungi (7.1％).The most frequently isolated microorganisms were coagulase negative Staphylococcus (154),E.coli (88),K.pneumoniae (51),P.aeruginosa (39) and Enterococcus spp (34).ESBLs were produced in about 40.4％ of the K.pneumoniae isolates and 63.4％ of the E.coli isolates.At least 90％ of the E.coli isolates were susceptible to imipenem and meropenem,and at least 70％ susceptible to piperacillin-tazobactam.At least 85％ of the K.pneumoniae strains were susceptible to imipenem and meropenem,and at least 70％ susceptible to levofloxacin,piperacillin-tazobactam and cefoperazone-sulbactam.The percentage of the P.aeruginosa susceptible to ciprofloxacin and tobramycin was at least 90％,and higher than 70％ to levofloxacin,meropenem,imipenem,piperacillin-tazobactam,cefepime,and cefoperazone-sulbactam.More than 90％ strains of the coagulase negative Staphylococcus and Enterococcus were susceptible to linezolid and teicoplanin.Overall,82.5％ of the coagulase negative Staphylococcus isolates were resistant to methicillin.Three E.coli isolates and 4 K.pneumoniae isolates were found resistant to carbapenems,and 14 Enterococcus isolates were resistant to vancomycin.Conclusions Gram-negative bacilli are the major pathogens from blood samples in hematology ward,which show high susceptibility to piperacillin-tazobactam and cefoperazone-sulbactam,imipenem and meropenem.The grampositive cocci show high susceptibility to linezolid and teicoplanin.These data are helpful for empirical antimicrobial therapy.
