In Vitro Monitoring and Analysis of Drug-Resistance of Gram-positive cocci / 中华医院感染学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To investigate drug-resistance status of Gram-positive cocci in the local region and offer scientific basis for reasonable usage of antibiotics.METHODS 336 strains of Gram-positive cocci were isolated from all kinds of specimens from Jan 2003 to Dec 2007 in the local hospital.Organisms were cultivated and identified complying with National Operation Procedure of the Clinical Laboratory.Drug sensitivity test was performed with K-B methods.RESULTS Among the 336 strains,Staphylococcus aureus(SAU) ranked the top,accounting for 45.8%;then the coagulase-negative Staphylococcus(CNS) accounting for 23.2%;Enterococcus faecalis ranked the third,accounting for 18.2%;the detection rate of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) was 31.8%;that of meticillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus(MRCNS) was 35.9%.The results of drug sensitivity test showed the Gram-positive cocci were resistant to the many antibiotics in different degrees except for 100% sensitive to vancomycin.CONCLUSIONS Hospital should attach importance to supervise the drug-resistance of Gram-positive cocci and prevent the dissemination and epidemic of drug resistant strains.
