Résumé
OBJECTIVE To study the isolation status and antimicrobial resistance of nonfermenting Gram-negative bacilli collected from intensive care unit(ICU) of our hospital so as to instruct the rational clinical application of antibiotics.METHODS The antimicrobial resistance of nonfermenting Gram-negative bacilli isolates collected from patients in ICU from Jan 2003 to Dec 2007 was analyzed.Antimicrobial susceptibility of clinical isolates were tested by Kirby-Bauer method.RESULTS Total 384 nonfermenting Gram-negative bacilli isolates were collected in 5 years.The most common species were Acinetobacter baumannii(219),Pseudomonas aeruginosa(117) and Stenotrophomonas maltophilla(36).The antimicrobial resistance rate of nonfermenting Gram-negative bacterial to most antibiotics were much higher.The antimicrobial resistance rate of Acinetobacter spp to imipenem,cefoperazone/sulbactam and piperacillin/tazobactam was 3.7%,28.3% and 42.9%.But the resistance rate of Acinetobacter spp to imipenem was increased in recent 2 years(58.0%).The antimicrobial resistance rate of P.aeruginosa to cefoperazone/sulbactam was the lowest.That of imipenem-resistant P.aeruginosa to cefoperazone/sulbactam was 34.0%.S.maltophilla was relatively susceptible to ceftazidime,cefoperazone/sulbactam and piperacillin/tazobactam.CONCLUSIONS Nonfermenters Gram-negative bacilli are the important pathogens in ICU.Surveillance of their prevalence and drug resistance may provide evidences for rational antibiotic choices.
Résumé
Objective To evaluate the clinical value of serum procalcitonin (PCT) in the diagnosis and differentiation of bacterial infections in the critically ill patients. Methods A total of 53 critical patients were divided into bacterial infection group and non-bacterial infection group. Serum PCT was measured by immunoluminometric assay. Results PCT of bacterial infection group was significantly higher than that in non-bacterial infection group (?~2=0.05, P
