Pathogenic characteristics of intra-abdominal infection after appendectomy / 中国感染控制杂志

Objective To understand the pathogenic characteristics of intra-abdominal infection after appendecto-my in patients with appendicitis.Methods Clinical data of patients undergoing appendectomy in a hospital from January 2013 to December 2015 were analyzed retrospectively,pathogenic characteristics,treatment,and prognosis of patients with intra-abdominal infection were analyzed.Results A total of 431 patients undergoing appendectomy were investigated,38 (8.82%)developed intra-abdominal infection.36 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated, 34 (94.44%)of which were gram-negative bacteria,mainly Escherichiacoli(n=29,80.55%);2 (5.56%)strains were gram-positive bacteria,1 of which was Staphylococcusaureus,and the other was Enterococcusavium.The re-sistance rates of 29 strains of Escherichia coli to commonly used antimicrobial agents (amoxicillin,piperacillin,ti-carcillin,cefuroxime,ceftazidime,and cefalotin)were 72.41%-93.10%,none of strains were found to be resistant to piperacillin/tazobactam,meropenem,imipenem,and amikacin.Conclusion Escherichiacoli is the most common pathogen causing intra-abdominal infection after appendectomy and it has high resistance rates to most commonly used antimicrobial agents,piperacillin/tazobactam,amikacin,and carbapenems are recommended for treating intra-abdominal infection after appendectomy.

Correlation between antimicrobial resistance and antimicrobial use density of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae / 中国感染控制杂志

Objective To investigate antimicrobial resistance of Escherichia coli (E.coli)and Klebsiella pneumoniae (K.pneumoniae),antimicrobial use density(AUD),as well as relation between antimicrobial resistance and AUD in a ter-tiary first-class hospital.Methods Antimicrobial resistance rates of clinically-isolated E.coli and K.pneumoniae,AUD of carbapenems and quinolones,as well as relation between resistance and AUD in 2013-2015 were statistically analyzed. Results Correlation analysis of antimicrobial resistance of bacteria and AUD showed that the decrease in resistance rate of E.coli to levofloxacin was related to the decrease in the use density of quinolones(r=0.61,P=0.03);increase in resist-ance rate of K.pneumoniae to imipenem was related to the increase in the use density of carbapenems(r=0.78,P<0.01). Conclusion Antimicrobial use is one of the causes of bacterial resistance,management on antimicrobial use needs to be strengthened to reduce the threat of bacterial resistance to human health.

Distribution and homology of foodborne-associated extended-spectrumβ-lactamases-producing Escherichia coli / 中国感染控制杂志

Objective To study the distribution and homology of foodborne-associated extended-spectrumβ-lacta-mases (ESBLs)-producing Escherichiacoli (E. coli).Methods ESBLs-producing E. coli were isolated from differ-ent food specimens in Shaoguan from 2014 to 2015,strains were typed with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and BioNumerics software.Results 1 1 strains of diarrhea-causing E. coli and 29 strains of ESBLs-producing E. co-li were isolated from 347 different sources of food specimens. PFGE analysis showed that 29 strains could be divided into 21 cluster groups,group A was predominant pattern,which included 7 strains(J2,J3,J4,J7,J9,B4,S3), group B included 2 strains (J6,J8),the other strains were sporadic clones. Similarity coefficient (SC)of 3 strains (J2,J7,J9)from health practitioners was 100% ,SC of strains from drinking water and patients with diarrhea (B4) was 97. 1% ,SC of S3 strain and 4 strains (J2,J3,J7,J9 )from health practitioners were all>90. 0% . Conclusion Foodborne-associated ESBLs-producing E. coli are widely distributed in food,water,animal,and pop-ulations,and can be transmitted through food chain,surveillance should enhanced to avoid further spread.

Resistance analysis of E.coli in the bloodstream infections from community and hospital / 国际检验医学杂志

Objective To understand the drug resistance of Escherichiacoli in the bloodstream infections from community infec-tion and hospital infection,in order to provide the basis for clinical rational drug use.Methods According to the CLSI 2013 stran-dard,VITEK-2GN and AST-GN13 cards from France Bio-merieux company were used to identify the bacteria and analyze the drug susceptibility.The data was analyzed by SPSS 13.0.Results A total of 181 strains of Escherichiacoli were isolated from communi-ty-acquired and hospital-acquired bloodstream infections from January to December in 2014.There were 88 strains of community in-fection and 93 strains of hospital infection.The rates of ESBLs (+)strains isolated from community infection and hospital infection were 53.4% and 73.1% respectively.The ESBLs (+)rate of Escherichiacoli isolated from community infection was significantly lower than that from hospital infection (P =0.006).Antibiotics of resistance less than 10% in 181 strains of Escherichiacoli were Cefoperazone/Sulbactam,Piperacillin/Tazobactam,Ertapenem,Imipenem,Amikacin.The resistant rate of Hospital infection strains was generally higher than that of community infection strains.The ESBLs (+)rate of Escherichiacoli isolated from bloodstream in-fections of Urology Surgery wsa higher than that of other departments.Conclusion The drug resistance of Escherichiacoli in the bloodstream infections from hospital infection is higher than that from community infection.Using antibiotics rationally and strengthening the nosocomial infection surveillance of ICU and Surgery Ward are effective measures to control the bacterial drug re-sistance.
