Bacterial spectrum characteristics and distribution of urinary tract infections in intensive care unit / 中华泌尿外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate bacterial spectrum characteristics and distribution of urinary tract infections with different time phase in intensive care unit(ICU).Methods From January 2012 to March 2013,the clinical data of 1330 cases in ICU,treated with urinary catheter indwelling,was retrospectively reviewed.Among them,705 cases were male and 625 cases were female.Their age ranged from 11 to 94 years old,mean (55.4 ± 19.2)years old.Acute physiology and chronic health scores (APACHE Ⅱ) were 1 to 69,mean 17.1 ±9.3.Duration of catheter indwelling ranged from 1 to 28 days,mean 23 days.The urine was collect through catheter via sterile syringe for bacterial culture.The incidence of urinary tract infection,bacterial infection spectrum,composition ratio and bacteria distribution in 1,2 and 4 weeks after admission were recorded.Results Total urinary tract infection cases were 36(2.7％).There were 15 urinary tract infection cases in 625 famale cases(2.4％),There were 21 cases in 705 male cases (3.0％).49 pathogens were obtained,including 32 gram-negative bacilli (65.3％),17 gram-positive cocci (32.7％) and 1 fungus 2.0％.Enterococcus faecium (30.6％),E.coli (22.4％),Acinetobacter baumannii(10.2％),and Klebsiella pneumoniae (10.2％) were the predominant species.According to hospitalized time,the bacteria spectrum distribution showed Gram negative bacilli were 50.0％ (8 pathogens),57.1％ (4 pathogens),76.9％ (20 pathogens) and Gram positive bacteria were 43.8％ (7 pathogens),42.9％ (3 pathogens),23.1％ (6 pathogens) in the differet observed time point,respectively.A fungus was only observed in the first week after admission 6.3％.Concluusions Gram-negative bacilli were predominant bacterial of urinary tract infections in ICU patients.The incidence of fungus infection was low.E.coli,Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumoniae were the predominant species in Gramnegative bacilli.And Enterococcus faecium was the predominant specie in gram-positive cocci.It was similar for gram-negative bacilli and gram-positive cocci in the first two weeks.After two weeks Gram-negative bacilli turned to the main species.
