ABSTRACT
Objective To realize antimicrobial resistance rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa)and it’s correlation with antimicrobial use density(AUD),and to provide reference for control of healthcare-associated infec-tion.Methods From July 2011 to December 2013,antimicrobial resistance rate of P. aeruginosa isolated from hospi-talized patients and AUD of patients were monitored,and the correlation between them was analyzed.Results AUD of patients decreased from 73.61 in the third and fourth quarters of 2011 to 41.33 in the same quarters of 2013. Corre-lation coefficient of AUD and antimicrobial resistance rate of P. aeruginosa was -0.32~0.88,correlation coeffi-cient of resistance rate of P. aeruginosa to aztreonam and aztreonam use density was 0.88,there was statistical sig-nificance. Conclusion AUD of hospitalized patients revealed a decreasing tendency,suggesting antimicrobial selec-tive resistance should be considered in clinic.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study antimicrobial resistance of clinically isolated Escherichia coli (E.coli),the preva-lence of integrons in E.coli,and relation of integron with antimicrobial resistance of E.coli.Methods E.coli isola-ted from three hospitals of Guangdong Province from 2010 to 2012 were collected,and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by Kirby-Bauer method;integrons were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR),and gene cassette was analyzed by sequencing.Results A total of 156 E.coli isolates were collected,antimicrobial sus-ceptibility testing showed that resistance rate of E.coli to most penicillins,cephalosporins,fluoroquinolones,amin-oglycosides and sulfonamides were over 50%;the resistance rate to antimicrobials 0.05),but compared with sensitive E.coli (9.09%,2/22),the difference was statisti-cally different (P<0.01 ).There were nine types of integron-drug resistant gene cassettes in the variable regions, most of which contained aadA and dfrA.Conclusion Antimicrobial resistance of E.coli is serious;high incidence of class I integrons are widely found in E.coli,and is closely related with drug resistance of E.coli,class I integrons mainly mediated aminoglycosides,sulfonamides and beta-lactams resistance.
