Antibiotic Resistance Profile of Isolated Ureaplasma urealyticum / 中华医院感染学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To investigate the urogenital tract Ureaplasma urealyticum infection and drug resistance profile from 2001 to 2003.METHODS The results of U.urealyticum culture and drug sensitivity tests were explored from 2001 to 2003.RESULTS From the 1 386 cases in 2001,1 003 were infected with U.urealyticum;of the 1 015 cases in 2002,801 were infected with U.urealyticum;of the 908 cases in 2003, 691 were infected with U.urealyticum.Among the three years,the drug resistance to doxycycline and minomycine kept lower as 4%,the drug resistance to josamycin increased greatly in 2003,the drug resistance and intermediate sensitivity to roxithromycin and azithromycin were high;and the drug resistance to ofloxacin,ciprofloxacin and spectinomycin kept higher.CONCLUSIONS The drug resistance of U.urealyticum evolves with the time.Monitoring drug resistance of U.urealyticum is of great importance.Treatment for U.urealyticum infection should be based on the results of drug sensitivity tests and the pharmacokinetics of the drugs.
