Distribution and antibiotic resistance profile of nonfermentative gram negative bacteria / 中国感染与化疗杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the clinical distribution and antibiotic resistance of the nonfermenting bacterial strains isolated in Beijing Anzhen Hospital from 2008 to 2012.Methods The bacteria were identified by VITEK-compact system and Phoenix 100 system. Antimicrobial susceptibiity was tested by dilution method. Results A total of 2 450 strains of nonfermentative gram-negative bacteria were isolated from clinical specimens. Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia accounted for 57.2%,25.5% and 10.0%.Specimens were mostly collected from respiratory tract (80.9%),followed by blood (8.1%)and wound exudates (3.9%).The strains were mainly collectd from ICU (50.0%),cardiac surgery ward (17.0%)and respiratory medical ward (11.5%).The prevalence of imipenem-resistant A.baumannii was 62.3%,79.2%,70.4%,76.1%,67.8% from 2008 to 2012.The prevalence of imipenem-resistant P.aeruginosa was 28.7%,25.0%,27.6%,31.1% and 32.0%.S.maltophilia strains showed the highest susceptibility to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and levofloxacin.Conclusions The high prevalence of antibiotic-resistant non-fermenting bacteria poses a great challenge to clinicins. The rational treatment choice should be based on the result of suseptibility testing.
