[Methods]Clinical distribution of enterococcal infection in our hospital from 2001 to 2003 were counted. The date from drug sensitivity test of enterococcus isolated in 2003 were analysed using WHONET software and it was by networking in hospital to observe the application of antibiotics. [Results] A total of 60 strains enterococcus were isolated in 2001,and the isolation rate of enterococcus from sputum was the hightest (50%). 67,88 strains enterococcus were isolated respectively in 2002,2003,and the isolation rate of enterococcus from urine was the hightest (31.3%,35.2% respectively). The results of drug sentivity test of enterococcus show that the resistant rates of enterococcus to 10 commonly used antibiotics except for vancomycin and teicoplanin were all hight. The resistant rates to vancomycin and teicoplanin were 13.6% and 12.9%. Among the 88 cases of enterococcal infection in 2003,70 cases had been treated with cephalosporins (79%). [Conclustions]Infection caused by enterococcus is rising year by year,and the location of infection are mainly urinary system. At prensent,enterococcus has show multdrug resistance to antibiotics and are merely relatively sensitive to vancomycin and teicoplanin. The rise of enterococcal infection may be related with largely using of cephalosporins.Read More
