Study of pathogen aetiology and drugs resistance in neonatal septicemia / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To study pathogen aetiology and distribution of drug resistance in neonatal septice-mia. Methods A retrospective study of positive organisms of blood cultures and the results of antimicrobial suscep-tibility testing was conducted from January 2000 to December 2006 in 1293 cases of neonatal septicemia;The results were divided into three groupsthe earlier group,the middle group and the later group. The strains were identified by VITEK-AMS and antibiotics susceptibility was tested by K-B method, results were interpreted according to NCCLS. inant in three groups(76.3% ,74.1% and 65.7% ) (P <0.05). Among Gram-pesitive coccus,the most prevalent strains was staphylococcus, Gram-negative bacilli increased gradually,accounting for 21.3% ,21.3% and 28.4% in cpidermids to erythromycin and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim were rather higher93.3% ,73.7% vs 87.8% vs 100.0%, respectively, the resistance -rates to penicillin were less,but to susceptible to vancomyein,piperacill/tazo-batam,amikacinand ciprofloxacin;gram-negative bacilli were only sensitible to imipenem, cefepime, and cefopera zone/sulbactam;multiresistances of drug strains was commonly seen. Condusions It is important for using antibi-otics rationally according to drug sensitivity test, because multiresistant strains and opportunistic pathogen are com-monly seen.
