RESUMEN
Objective To analyze the relevance between the consumption of various antimicrobials and antimicrobial re-sistance of Acinetobacter baumanni in a grade three hospital during 2007 -2010 .Methods A retrospective analysis was per-formed to count and sort the defined daily doses (DDDs) and the consumption of various antimicrobials in the hospital between 2007 and 2010 .Meanwhile the resistance rates of Acinetobacter baumanni to different antimicrobials were collected in the same period .Data was analyzed by SAS 8 .2 statistical software package using Spearman correlation method .Results The resistance rate of Acinetobacter baumanni to imipenem was significantly positively correlated with the consumption of carbapenems (r=0 .954 6 ,P<0 .01) ,it is positively correlated with the dosage of imipenem (r=0 .849 2 ,P<0 .05) ,it is also significantly posi-tively correlated with the consumption of meropenem (r=0 .999 2 ,P<0 .05) ,and the consumption of amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium ,respectively(r=0 .800 5 ,P<0 .05) .There was no correlation between the resistance rate of Acinetobacter bauman-ni and the dosage of aminoglycosides ,fluoroquinolones ,even β-lactamase inhibitors(P>0 .05) .Conclusion The use of car-bapenems should be correlated with their indications strictly ,only applying to severe infection of Acinetobacter baumanni .The aminoglycosides of amikacin and β-lactamase inhibitors of cefoperazone/sulbactam are the better options to treat A cinetobacter baumanni infection .
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the causes of rising carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii isolates by analysis of the carbapenemase genotypes in A .baumannii .Methods WHONET 5 .4 was used to analyze the changing resistance profile of A .baumannii isolates over years .A total of 320 carbapenem‐resistant A .baumannii isolates were collected from the patients in an intensive care unit from January 2008 to December 2012 .All strains were identified and tested by VITEK 2 for their susceptibility .The metallo‐β‐lactamases genes and OXA carbapenemase genes were investigated by polymerase chain reaction . Results The resistance rate of A .baumannii isolates to meropenem and imipenem increased rapidly from 10 .8% to 80 .4% and from 13 .5% to 83 .5% during the period from 2008 and 2012 .The prevalence of blaOXA‐23and ISAba1‐associated blaOXA‐23genes increased from 25 .0% to 97 .1% .No metallo‐β‐lactamase encoding genes were detected .Conclusions Our results indicate that the rising carbapenem resistance in the A . baumannii isolates in our intensive care unit may be associated with the high prevalence of blaOXA‐23 and IS A ba1‐associated blaOXA‐23 genes .

Objective To investigate the distribution of carbapenemase-resistant genes carried by multi-drug resistant Acineto-bacter baumannii .Methods 80 strains of multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii were collected .Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)wasusedtodetectcarbapenemase-resistantgenes,suchasOXA-23,OXA-24,OXA-51,OXA-58,SIM,IMP,VIM ,GIMand SPM ,in multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii .Results Drug resistant gene OXA-23 [49 (61 .3% )] ,OXA-51 [73 (91 .3% )] ,OXA-58[7(8 .8% )] ,OXA-24[1(1 .3% )] ,IMP[17(21 .3% )] and VIM[2(2 .5% )] were found in 80 strains of multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii ,while GIM ,SIM and SPM gene were not found .Conclusion IMP ,OXA ,VIM is the main genotypes carried by multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii .
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the antimicrobial resistance in the A cinetobacter baumannii strains in different parts of China during 2012 .Methods A total of 8 739 clinical isolates of Acinetobacter were collected from 13 general hospitals and two children’s hospitals ,of which most were A . baumannii (89 .6% , 7 827/8 739 ) . Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out by means of Kirby-Bauer method according to the unified protocol . The susceptibility testing data were analyzed by WHONET 5 .6 software according to CLSI 2013 breakpoints .Results Majority (85 .4% ) of the Acinetobacter strains were isolated from inpatients .The remaining 14 .6% were from outpatients and emergency room patients .Of the 7 827 strains of A .baumannii , 10 .9% ,35 .2% ,35 .7% and 43 .4% were resistant to tigecycline ,minocycline ,cefoperazone-sulbactam and amikacin , respectively .The percentage of A .baumannii resistant to imipenem and meropenem was 63 .5% and 68 .2% ,respectively . The antimicrobial resistant pattern varied in different hospitals . The resistance of A . baumannii varied between different clinical departments .A number of pandrug resistant (PDR) (20 .0% ,1 567/7 827) and multidrug-resistant (MDR) (45 .0% , 3 521/7 827 ) A . baumannii were identified . Conclusions A . baumannii is the most popular pathogenic bacteria among Acinetobacter .The antibiotic resistance of A .baumannii is still increasing .Cefoperazone-sulbactam and minocycline has good in vitro antibacterial activity against A .baumannii .The antibiotic resistance of A .baumannii varies greatly with hospital and department .
RESUMEN
In order to survey antibiotic resistance of clinical isolates carbapenem-resistant A cinetobacter baumannii in Meizhou and to investigate resistance mechanism and molecular epidemiological characteristics ,a total of 210 non-duplicated clinical isolates of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii from January 2012 to December 2012 were collected .The K-B disk diffusion method was applied for the drug-susceptibility test ,a modified Hodge test was used for the screening of carbapen-emase ,PCR was used to amplify carbapenemase genes (including IMP ,VIM ,OXA-23 ,OXA-24 ,OXA-51 and OXA-58) ,and the positive products were sequenced .Enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus PCR (ERIC-PCR) was used for DNA typing and test of homology .Our results on the percentage of strains resistant for antibiotics tested were higher than 60% except for polymyxin B was 0 .48% .There were 163 positive strains by the modified Hodge test ,accounting for 77 .62% .OXA-51 gene was identified in 198 strains (94 .29% ) ,OXA-23 in 165 strains (78 .57% ) ,and VIM in 9 strains (4 .29% ) ,OXA-24 ,OXA-58 and IMP gene was not identified by PCR amplification .Seven genomic types were included in the 210 carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii .The major prevalence types were Type A (97 strains) ,Type B (44 strains) and Type H (25 strains) . In conclusion ,multiple drug resistance of clinically isolated carbapenem-resistant A cinetobacter baumannii is a serious problem in Meizhou .Production of OXA-51 ,OXA-23 and IMP carbapenemases is an important mechanism of resistance to carbapenem antibiotics ,and there is prevalence of the same clones in these carbapenem-resistant strains .
