ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To investigate antimicrobial resistance of Enterobacter cloacae in our hospital,for guiding the treatment of these infections in clinical practice.METHODS Bacterial susceptibility testing was done by Kirby-Bauer method and bacteria were identified by VITEK-32.Retrospective analysis of the drug resistance was done to the E.cloacae isolated from our hospital in the recent 3 years.RESULTS A total of 364 E.cloacae strains were isolated,which mainly isolated from sputum.They were resistant to 13 types of antibacterial agents but the resistance rate to imipenem was 3.30%.The resistant rate to third and fourth generation cepholosporins(excepting cefoperazone/sulbactam) and quinolones was more than 30% and to ampicillin and cefazolin was more than 94.00%.CONCLUSIONS E.cloacae is severely resistant to cepholosporins and quinolones.More attention should be paid to the surveillance of such strains.Imipenem may be considered for use in critical patients.
