Distribution of Extended-spectrum ?-Lactamases Produced by Escherichia coli and Drug-resistance Analysis / 中华医院感染学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of strains producing extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) isolated from clinic samples and offer scientific basis for reasonable usage of antibioticsMETHODS ESBLs-producing strains isolated from Escherichia coli were identified by phenotypic comfirmatory test,drug resistance was analyzed by K-B method. RESULTS The positive rate of isolated ESBLs-producing E. coli strains was respectively 18.0%,20.3% and 28.4% in three years; that of ESBLs-producing strains isolated from urinary system was respectively 25.6%,29.0% and 39.0% in three years. The susceptibility to AMK and CFS was 70.4% and 85.2%,respectively in 2006. CONCLUSIONS The positive rate of ESBLs-producing strains and their resistance have been increasing in the near three years. so our clinic should pay attention to reasonable usage of antibiotic. AMK and CFS show significant antimicrobial activity for ESBLs-producing E. coli.
