Antibiotic Resistance and Genotyping of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolated from Burn Unit by Pulsed-field Gel Electrophoresis / 中华医院感染学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To analyze antibiotic resistance pattern and use pulsed-field gel electrophoresis(PFGE) to study the molecular epidemiology of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from burn unit. METHODS P.aeruginosa had been isolated and tested by K-B method from clinical samples and antibiotic resistance was analyzed and studied retrospectively. RESULTS The drug resistance of P.aeruginosa to nine antibiotics was high,the multiple drug resistance rate was 30%. CONCLUSIONS The resistance rates to commonly used antibacterials in P.aeruginosa are high and the resistance pattern is wide.PEGE is a better genotyping method to study molecular epidemiology and analytic homology.
