Title: Antimicrobial resistance changes of Acinetobacter Baumannii infection in intensive care units
Abstract: Objective To understand the clinical distribution and antimicrobial resistance changes of Acinetobacter baumannii in intensive care unit( ICU),and provide the basis for clinical therapy and prevention of Acinetobacter baumannii infection in ICU. Methods The data of Acinetobacter baumannii infection in ICU were retrospectively analyzed from 2008 to 2011,with regard to the antimicrobial resistance rate and the change tendency. Results From 2008 to 2011,the isolating rate of Acinetobacter baumannii increased in ICU year by year,and most were from sputums and gullet swabs. The drug resistance rate of Acinetobacter baumannii also showed overall upward trend,especially the drug resistance rate to ceftriaxone,increasing from 60. 51% to 98. 72%. Until 2011,the antimicrobial resistant rates of Acinetobacter baumannii were more than 50% except amikacin,minocycline and cefoperazone / sulbactam. Conclusion The antimicrobial resistance rates of Acinetobacter baumannii were in a rising trend,especially the multidrug resistant strains increased year by year in ICU. More attention should be paid to the prevention and separation of multidrug resistant strains to prevent cross infections. In addition,antimicrobial drug should be used in accordance with the drug sensitivity test results.
