ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To investigate the profile of pathogen of infection in kidney disease patients. METHODS Pathogen of infection in kidney disease patients in our hospital from Jan 2004 to Feb 2006 was retrospectively investigated. RESULTS A total of 240 pathogen strains were isolated from 223 cases.Of the 240 isolated strains the rate of strains of Gram-negative bacilli was 55.4%,that of the Gram-positive cocci was 26.3%,the rate of fungi was 10.0% and that of the Gram-positive bacilli was 8.3%.The positive rate of Escherichia coli was the highest followed by Haemophilus influenzae.54.2% Of isolates were from urine,21.3% from sputum.The isolated pathogens resisted at different degrees to antibiotics which were used frequently in clinic.The rate of polyinfection was not high. CONCLUSIONS Pathogen of infection in kidney disease patients is mainly Enterobacteriaceae.The isolates mainly are E.coli which is multi-resistant.It mainly causes the urinary infections.
