Pathogenic Bacteria Causing Chronic Bacterial Prostatitis:An Investigation into Their Spread Status and Drug-resistance / 中华医院感染学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To investigate the spread status and drug-resistance of pathogenic bacteria causing chronic bacterial prostatitis among the senile patients,and provide the reference for clincal diagnosis and treatment.METHODS Prostatic fluid from the senile patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis was collected,and bacterial cultures and susceptibility tests were performed.The data were analyzed statistically.RESULTS Among 216 prostatic fluid specimens from the senile patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis,140 isolates of pathogenic bacteria were detected.In these strains,Gram-positive cocci accounted for 60.0% and most of them were Staphylococcus aureus.Gram-negative bacilli accounted for 40.0% and most of them were Escherichia coli.Pathogens causing prostatitis have been resistant to the common antibiotics.Among the total staphylococci,meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus(MRS) accounted for 34.8%.And among the total Enterobacteriaceae,ESBLs producing bacteria accounted for 35.6%.CONCLUSIONS Chronic bacterial prostatitis in the senile patients possesses intractability and persisting.It is important to monitor the pathogens and their drug-resistance.
