Distribution and Drug Resistance of Isolates from Blood Culture Samples / 中华医院感染学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To enhance the positive rate of the blood culture in order to make pathogenic diagnosis actually and quickly and conducting usage of antimicrobial agents in clinic.To value the clinical applied circumstance of BacT/Alert 3D automated blood culture system.METHODS The 3728 blood cultures were detected by BacT/Alert 3D automated blood culture system,and bacterial susceptibility test was conducted on all isolates using Kirby-Bauer methods with CLSI standards.To statistically analyze the examined time,the positive rate and variety and drug resistance for all kinds of pathogens.RESULTS The blood culture positive rate was 6.0% in the 3728 blood cultures with 222 strains of bacteria.The false positive rate was 0.2% and the false negative rate was 0.4%.The positive rate of blood culture was 0.89% in 12 hours,2.01% in 18 hours,and 3.51% in 24 hours.Among all the 222 isolates,29.7% were Enterobacteriaceae,the drug resistant rates to amikacin,ceftazidime,ciprofloxacin,and imipenem were 13.6%,36.3%,42.4%,and 3.0%,respectively;20.3% were Staphylococcus,the drug resistant rates to erythromycin,levofloxacin,cefoxitin,and vancomycin were 75.6%,33.3%,68.9%,and 0,respectively;11.7% were Enterococcus,the drug resistant rates to errythromycin,levofloxacin,fosfomycin,and vancomycin were 96.2%,80.8%,23.1%,and 0,respectively;11.3% were non-fermented bacilli,the drug resistant rates to amikacin,ceftazidime,ciprofloxacin,and imipenem were 32.0%,52.0%,32.0%,and 32.0%,respectively;12.6% were fungi.CONCLUSIONS The pathogens in the blood specimens are more wider in distribution and more higher in drug resistance rates than before.BacT/Alert 3D automated blood culture system can be an important tool for the blood culture,it can provide the diagnostic help quickly for the clinic and increase the positive rates in blood culture.It can not only shorten the check-up time,but also be more quick and more exact.
