Analysis of bacteria culture results of pulmonary infection in patients with severe brain injury / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the characteristics of pathogenic bacteria and drug resistance and susceptible factors of pulmonary infection in patients with severe brain injury and to provide a guideline for the prevention and control of infection.Methods Bacteria culture results combined with clinical data of pulmonary infection in patients with severe brain injury were analyzed retrospectively in our hospital from Jan.2004 to Dec.2008.Results The patients with severe brain injury were often complicated by pulmonary infection.Gramnegative bacilli were main pathogenic bacteria leading to pulmonary infection ( 74.8% ),including pseudomonas aeruginosa ( 21.0% ),Escherichia coli ( 16.5% ),baumanii ( 13.6% ),pneumobacillus ( 7.7% ),enterobacter cloacae (6.3% ) and others.Thirty-nine Gram-positive bacilli were observed including Staphylococcus anreus,coagulase negative staphylococcus,enterococcus and others.There were 21 fungus infection observed.Conclusions Overall and systematically monitoring the condition of pathogenic bacteria distribution and drug resistance of pulmonary infection in patients with severe brain injury have important significance to select antibiotics and effectively prevent and control pulmonary infection.
