Failure in the Prophylactic Use of Antibiotics and Antibiotic Resistance of Pathogens / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the rational clinical prophylactic use of antibiotics. METHODS:The cases in whom the clinical prophylactic use of antibiotics between 2006 and 2007 in our hospital showed failure in efficacy were monitored to analyze the cause of failure,meanwhile the clinical samples were sent for culture,isolation,identification and drug susceptibility tests as well as drug resistance analysis. RESULTS:Cephalosporins,Quinolones,Penicillins,Cefhalosporins + enzyme inhibitor were more commonly used antibiotics in our hospital,with drug resistance rates at 57.21%,65.14%,68.63%,and 18.81% respectively. Among the total 240 cases monitored,the prophylactic use of antibiotics totaled 877 times,of which,388 (44.24%) were non-indicated drug use,459 (52.34%) showed drug resistance,286 (32.61%) involved improper drug choice,and 42 (17.50%) showed dual infection. CONCLUSION:The clinical prophylactic use of antibiotics in our hospital is far from perfect; therefore,it is urgent to tighten control on the standard prophylactic use of antibiotics.
