RESUMO
OBJECTIVE To know the distribution and drug resistance of the ventilator-associated pneumonia(VAP) bacteria in the intensive care unit(ICU),and to provide a reasonable basis for the clinical use of antibiotics. METHODS We used the Tiek Biagnostic systems to identifly microorganisms and antibiotic susceptibility.The result of the drug sensitivity test was analyzed with SPSS13.0. RESULTS A total of 538 strains were isolated from the sputum samples of the ventilator-associated pneumonia patients in the ICU over the last 4 years,in which Gram-negative bacteria were 361(the isolation rate 69.3%).Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most common.Gram-positive bacteria were 143(the isolation rate 26.6%),in which Staphylococcus aureus was the most common.Twenty-two strain were fungi(the isolation rate 4.1%).Most of the pathogenic bacteria maintained high sensitivity rate to imipenem,vancomycin and quinupristin/daefopristin;but the drug resistance rate to other antibiotics was high and on the rise year by year. CONCLUSIONS The pathogens types of VAP was,complex,and multi-drug resistant.We should emphasize the reasonable application of the antibiotics and strengthen the monitoring of drug resistantce,and rational use of antibiotics to improve the cure rate.
