Antibiotic Resistance of Staphylococcus Isolated from Burn Patient Wounds / 中华医院感染学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To study the antibiotic resistance of Staphylococcus isolated from the burn patient wounds. METHODS The sensitivity to 14 common antimicrobial agents was deteded by K-B method. MRSA and MRCNS were detected by cefoxitin disk;the inducible resistance to clindamycin was detected by D-test. RESULTS There were 378 strains of Staphylococcus isolated from the burn patient wounds. The isolation rates of Staphylococcus epidermidis,S. aureus and S. haemolyticus were 43.1%,41.6% and 11.1%. Antibiotic resistance rate to vancomycin,teicoplanin,minocycline,rifapin and nitrofurantoin was 0.0-19.0%,the resistance rate to other antibiotics was 54.1-100.0%. The detection rate of MRSA was 81.5%,the detection rate of MRCNS among S. epidermidis and S. haemolyticus was 55.6% and 66.7%. The total positive rate of D-test was 48.2% in Staphylococcus which were sensitive to clindamycin but resistant to erythromycin. The positive rate of S. aureus,S. epidermidis and S. haemolyticus were 49.1%,44.2% and 57.1%. CONCLUSIONS Staphylococcus are ones of the important pathogens which make burn wound infection happen and the antimicrobial resistance is increasingly severe. The high positive results of MRSA and D-test make great trouble to therapy,and that should have taken more attention of clinic.
