Antibiotic Resistance of Clinical Strains of Staphylococcus aureus Isolated in Xiangfan City / 中华医院感染学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To investigate the antibiotic resistance status in clinical strains of Staphylococcus aureus (SAU) in Xiangfan and provide scientific evidence for reasonable use of antibiotics. METHODS Retrospective review was performed to analyzed the specimen source and the clinical distribution of 359 strains of SAU. BioMerieux Vitek 32 was used to identify the species of bacteria. Antibiotic susceptibility test was performed by K-B method and drug-resistance results were read according to CLSI2006. RESULTS Isolating rate of methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) arrived at 54.9%. The results of susceptibility test showed that SAU had been resistant to the diverse antibiotics in different degree. The drug sensitivity rate of glycopeptide antibiotics and linezolid were all 100%. CONCLUSIONS The different grade hospitals should practically perform the management of antibiotics to postpone the resistance development and control outbreak and prevalence of nosocomial infections.
