Antimicrobial Resistance of Nonfermentative Bacteria in Lower Respiratory Tract Infection / 中华医院感染学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To investigate the epidemic situation of nonfermentative bacteria in lower respiratory tract infection and guide rational use of antimicrobials.METHODS API system was applied for bacterial identification.K-B disk diffuse method was used in susceptibility testing.WHONET 5.3 software was used for data analysis.Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Acinetobacter baumannii and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolates were included in this study.RESULTS Less than 20% of P.aeruginosa isolates were resistant to amikacin,imipenem or cefoperazone/sulbactam.For A.baumannii,the most active compounds tested were imipenem and cefoperazone/sulbactam with resistance rates of 4.8% and 7.3%,respectively.26.6% And 27.4% of A.baumannii isolates were resistant to piperacillin/tazobactam and ticarcillin/clavulanic acid.The resistance rate of S.maltophilia to cefoperazone/sulbactam,ticarcillin/clavulanic acid and piperacillin/tazobactam was 0,2.7% and 10.8%,respectively.CONCLUSIONS The isolation rate of nonfermenters is increasing in the lower respiratory tract infection,and the ways to improve the cure rate are to avert nosocomial infection and choose antimicrobials properly.
