Distribution and Drug Resistance in 251 Coagulase Negative Staphylococcus Strains / 中华医院感染学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To investigate the antibiotic resistance status in coagulase negative staphylococcus (CNS) strains and provide the scientific evidence for the reasonable use of antibiotics. METHODS The drug resistance of 251 strains of CNS was ananlyzed. RESULTS The detection rate of methicillin-susceptible coagulase-negative Staphylococcus(MSCNS) was 12.75% (32/251), while that of methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (MRCNS) was 87.25%. The drug-resistance rate of MRCNS was higher than that of MSCNS. Vancomycin resistant and intermediate strains had not been detected. CONCLUSIONS Laboratory should monitor the drug resistance well and update in time to offer the evidence for the reasonable use age of the antibiotics.
