AmpC Enzyme,ESBLs Production and Antibiotic Resistance in Gram-negative Bacilli Isolated in Intensive Care Unit / 中华医院感染学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To investigate the production of AmpC enzyme and ESBLs in Gram-negative bacilli and their drug-resistance to provide basis for reasonable use of antibiotics in clinical practice.METHODS All bacteria were identified by VITEK-32 system and disk test.RESULTS The main five strains of all 184 Gram-negative bacilli were Pseudomonas aeruginosa(24.4%),Acinetobacter baumannii(19.3%),Enterobacter cloacae(14.8%),Escherichia coli(10.2%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae(9.7%).The AmpC enzyme-producing rate was 53.8% and 14.7% in E.cloacae and A.baumannii the ESBLs-producing rate was 35.3%(12/34) and 15.4%(4/26) in A.baumannii and E.cloacae.P.aeruginosa was sensitive to imipenem and the drug-resistance rate of K.pneumoniae was 0%.CONCLUSIONS ESBLs and AmpC enzymes are important mechanisms of the drug-resistance of Gram-negative bacilli.
