Pathogens from Lower Respiratory Tract:Result and Analysis of Their Distribution and Antibiotic Resistance / 中华医院感染学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To monitor the distrubution and the change in drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria from lower respiratory tract in patients with comprehensive intensive care to use the antibiotic properly in the clinics.METHODS All lower respiratory infection cases admited to the ICU in 2005-2006 were reviewed,and the distribution of pathogenic bactieria and their drug resistance profile were analyzed.RESULTS 89.3% pathogenic bacteria were Gram-negative ones,among them Pseudomonas aeruginosa(47.6%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae(21.2%) were prevailed.Staphylococcus aureus(6.2%) was the most prominent Gram-positive bacteria,MRSA showed increasing trend.Fungi accounted for 5.8%.All pathogenic bacteria showed high resistance to the antibiotics.CONCLUSIONS The pathogenic bacteria and their resistance to the antibiotics are highly changed at ICU.Intensive observations from the clinicians are recommanded so as to make the antibiotics effective.
