Abstract: | Objective To investigate the resistance and sensitivity of common clinical isolates in our hospital to commonly used antibiotics. Methods The antibacterial susceptibility test was carried out on the clinical isolates of our hospital using the Kirby-Bauer method or the automated instrument method. Results were interpreted according to the breakpoints of CLSI 2017. Results A total of 6,573 clinically isolated bacteria were collected in our hospital from January to December 2018. 4,701 (71.5%) were Gram-negative bacteria, and 1,872 (28.5%) were Gram-positive bacteria mainly from sputum, wound pus, blood, and urine specimens samples. The isolation rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MRCNS) were 20.9% and 72.7%, respectively. The resistance rates of MRSA to most test drugs were significantly higher than that of methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA). No vancomycin and linezolid resistant strains were found. The resistance rates of Enterococcus faecalis to all antimicrobial agents were significantly lower than those of Enterococcus faecium. No strains resistant to linezolid were found in Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium. Vancomycin-resistant strains were found in Enterococcus faecium. The resistance rate of Streptococcus mutans non-meningitis strain to penicillin was 9.1%. Enterobacteriaceae bacteria were still highly sensitive to carbapenems, with a CRE separation rate of 2.6%, a slight increase from the previous year (2.4%). The resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii was still serious, and the resistance rates to imipenem and meropenem were 48.7% and 50.8%, respectively. The resistance rates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to imipenem and meropenem were 19.7% and 12.3%, and the detection rates of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPE) and Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) were 22.0% and 50.1%. Conclusions The resistance of clinical isolates to commonly used antibiotics was still multi-drug resistant. In recent years, the separation rate of CRE has risen slightly. It is necessary to strengthen the prevention and control measures for hospital infections and clinical application management measures for antibacterial drugs, and do a good job in monitoring bacterial |
