Title: Analysis on clinical distribution and drug resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii in ICU
Abstract: Objective To investigate the clinical distribution and drug resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii and provide useful help for the prevention and treatment of A.baumannii infection.Methods A total of 41 nonduplicate strains of A.baumannii were collected from a crtain hospital's ICU in 2011.The basic information,drug susceptibility and the use of antibiotics in patients were retrospectively analyzed.Results 41 strains of A.baumannii mainly came from the sputum samples of patients(85.37%).It was showed that the sensitive drugs of Acinetobacter baumannii were cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium and imipenem.The resistant drugs of Acinetobacter baumannii were aminoglycosides,quinolones,and bets-lactamases.Conclusion Antimicrobial resistance of A.baumannii and the isolation rate of multidrug-resistant and pandrug-resistant A.baumannii are increasing.So we must keep an eye on A.baumannii infection and its drug-resistance changes in order to prevent the emergence and spread of drug-resistant strains.
