Abstract: | Objective To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria in lung infections of patients with NSICU, and to provide guidance for patients’ treatment plan. Methods A total of 450 patients with pulmonary infections in our hospital from January 2018 to December 2018 were enrolled in NSICU. All of them took deep sputum and passed the bacterial isolation and identification technology, drug sensitivity test, and drug resistance test method. The pathogen detection and drug resistance analysis were conducted, and the diffusion method was used to test susceptibility to antibacterial drugs. Results 538 strains of pathogens were detected in 450 NSICU patients, including 382 Gram-negative bacteria (71.00%), including 139 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae, 101 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii, 65 strains of Escherichia coli, and 40 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli had low resistance to imipenem, cefoperazone-sulbactam, and cefepime. Resistance of cefoperazone/sulbactam to Acinetobacter baumannii was less. Pseudomonas aeruginosa had a low resistance rate (less than 25%) to various drugs. 99 Gram-positive bacteria (18.40%) included 49 strains of Staphylococcus aureus and 38 strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci, which were less resistant to vancomycin, linezolid, and tigecycline. 57 strains (10.60%) of fungi, including 23 Candida tropicalis, 20 Candida albicans, and 14 Candida glabrata. Conclusion By detecting the distribution of pathogens in the lung infections of patients with NSICU and the drug resistance of bacteria, it can provide guidance for clinical rational drug use and improve the therapeutic |
