ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate season distribution,biological typing and drug resistant of Haemophitus in Qingdao Central Hospital.Methods The sputum and throat swab were collected from patients with respiratory tract infection,221 Haemophilus strains were identified and typed by the manual method and MicSCAN4 automatic analyzer,HNID identification plate.Antimicrobial susceptibility was tested by Kirby-Bauer method,and cephalosporins nitrate thiophene paper method was used to detect β-lacta-mase.Results A total of 96 strains of Haemophilus influenzae(1.6%)were isolated,10(10.4%)strains of Haemophilus influenzae were identified as type Ⅰ,31(32.3%)as type Ⅱ,40(41.7%)as typeⅢand 1 5(1 5.6%)as other types.A total of 125 strains Hae-mophitus parl influenzae(2.1%)were isolated,1 5 (12.0%)strains of Haemophilus parl influenzae were identified as type Ⅰ,23 (18.4%)as typeⅡ,69(55.2%)as type Ⅲ and 18(14.4%)as type Ⅳ,other types were not identified.The highest infected rate was in winter.Resistance rate of Haemophilus influenzae and Haemophitus parl influenzae to ampicillin were 40.6% and 44.8%,to tri-methoprim-sulfamethoxazole were 5 1.0% and 66.4%.The prevalence ofβ-lactamase of all strains were 40.6%and 44.8%.But sus-ceptible rates of Haemophilus to cefotaxime,cefuroxime,meropenem,chloramphenicol were over 90.0%.Conclusion The respira-tory tract infections to Haemophilus influenzae and Haemophitus parl influenzae is more frequently found in winter.Type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ are the most prevalent types.The resistance rates of Haemophilus to ampicillin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole are in-creasing,should not be used as empirical treatment of Haemophilus infection.Antibiotics such as cefotaxime,cefuroxime,meropen-em could be chosen for the treatment of respiratory tract infection caused by Haemophilus.
