Pathogenic Bacteria Isolated from Subglottic Secretion in 43 Cases with Ventilator-associated Pneumonia: Their Distribution and Drug Resistance / 中华医院感染学杂志

ABSTRACT

0.05). CONCLUSIONS The pathogenic bacteria from VAP subglottic secretion are mostly Gram-negative rods, in which the dominant bacteria are A. baumannii, P. aeruginosa, S. maltophilia, K. pneumoniae and Escherichia coli. Most of them are multi-drug resistant. The kinds of pathogenic bacterial strains in subglottic secretion and lower respiratory tract secretion are not only consistent but also similar to each other in terms of composition and drug resistance.
