Analysis of ocular infection in neonates / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

ABSTRACT

@#AIM:To study the distribution, drug resistance and epidemic characteristics of pathogenic bacteria in neonatal eye infection in Cangnan County, Zhejiang Province from 2014 to 2018, and to provide the basis for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of clinical conditions.<p>METHODS: Totally 108 strains of pathogenic bacteria isolated from 294 eyes specimens from neonatal clinic from January 2014 to December 2018 were identified, common drug sensitivity test and epidemiological characteristics were summarized and analyzed.<p>RESULTS: The detection rate of pathogenic bacteria in 294 ocular secretions was 36.7%(108/294). The main flora included 48 strains of<i> Staphylococcus epidermidis</i>(44.4%), 16 strains of<i> Staphylococcus aureus</i>(14.8%), 24 cases of <i>Escherichia coli</i>(22.2%), 12 strains of <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i>(11.1%), 5 strains of <i>Corynebacterium diphtheria</i>(4.6%), 2 strains of <i>Enterococcus</i>(1.9%)and 1 case of <i>Streptococcus </i>(0.9%). The main pathogens are highly sensitive to amikacin and netilmicin, and are highly sensitive to jellithromycin and netilmicin. The activity of gentamicin is poor. It has good activity against quinolones.<p>CONCLUSION:<i>Staphylococcus</i> is the main pathogen of neonatal eye infection, and eye antibiotics commonly used in clinic have good antibacterial activity against all kinds of pathogenic bacteria.
