Distribution and Resistance of Pathogens Isolated from Cerebrospinal Fluid: Result of Specimens in 3 Years / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

@#ObjectiveTo analyze the distribution and antibiotic resistance of bacteria isolated from cerebrospinal fluid. Methods569 cerebrospinal fluild specimens were analyzed. ResultsPathogens were isolated from 93 specimens (16.3%), in which 52 were Gram positive bacteria and 38 were negative, 3 were fungi. All the Gram positive cocci were sensitive to vancomycin and linezolid, while the Gram negative bacteria were resistant to routine antibiotics such as cefotaxime and ceftriaxone, but sensitive to carbapenems. ConclusionThe prevailing pathogens in intracranial infection are Gram positive cocci, especially Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureu.
