ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii infection in the elderly patients in our hospital. METHODS One hundred and eighty-four strains of A. baumannii isolated from elderly patients with infection from Jun 2001 to Apr 2005 were collected and antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed. RESULTS All strains of A. baumannii were from sputum, urine, pus, etc; the resistance of the strains to the third generation cephalosporin, ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin was all more than 50.0% ; the resistance rate to imipenem was the lowest(2.2%), followed by amikacin (37.5%)and ampicillin/ sulbactam (39.7%), and the resistant rate to ampicillin was the highest( 83.2% ). CONCLUSIONS The antimicrobial resistance of A. baumannii in the elderly patients is high, the antibiotic treatment must depend on antimicrobial susceptibility test.
