Distribution and resistance of enteric pathogenic bacteria in Beijing area / 中华传染病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To monitor the distribution and resistance of enteric pathogenic bacteria in Beijing area to offer the data for guiding epidemiologic study and clinical treatment. Methods Enteric pathogenic bacteria were cultured and identified to spicies, group, and serotype with the biochemical and serologic test. Then, the susceptibility of bacterium to antimicrobial agents were tested. Results Enteric pathogenic bacteria infection occurred with male, children, and youth being prominant. It peaked in June and July. Shigellae spp and Vibrio spp were the main pathogenic bacteria of intestinal tract. There presented difference among the sensitive rates of differential spicies, or groups to antimicrobial agents. Conclusions There are many spicies of enteric pathogenic bacteria causing infective diarrhea in Beijing area. Their distributions are different in sex, age and season. The is resistance rate are different needing surveillance.
