Catheter-related bloodstream Infections:A Retrospective Analysis / 中华医院感染学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To provide references for clinical diagnosis of catheter-related bloodstream infections(CRBSIs) and focus on studying the spectras of pathogenic bacteria and the drug sensitiveness. METHODS A total of 137 patients enrolled from Jan 2005 to Dec 2007 in our hospital with positive catheter cultures were admitted to our retrospective analysis.Pathogenic bacteria,contaminant bacteria and the drug sensitiveness of main pathogenic bacteria were analyzed. RESULTS From them 80 patients were diagnosed CRBSIs.Among 92 strains of pathogenic bacteria,43(46.7%) strains were Gram-positives,31(33.7%) coagulase negative staphylococci(CNS) strains,31(33.7%) Gram-negative bacilli strains and 18(19.6%) were Candida strains. CONCLUSIONS CNS are the most common bacteria of CRBSIs,and the second are Candida.The common pathogen show multi-drug resistance.
