OBJECTIVE To analyze the drug resistance of 141 clinical strains of Acinetobacter baumannii to 15 kinds of antimicrobial agents for the rational application of antimicrobial agents.METHODS All 141 strains of A.baumannii isolates were tested for minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC) to 15 kinds of antimicrobial agents included meropenem,imipenem,piperacillin,and so on using agar dilution method.RESULTS The lowest resistance rate of A.baumannii to the antimicrobial agents was to imipenem(22.7%),then was to meropenem and cefoperazone/sulbactam.The highest resistance rate was tetracycline(81.5%).The resistance rate to other antimicrobial agents was to about or more than 50%.CONCLUSIONS Most of A.baumannii isolates are susceptible to meropenem,imipenem,and cefoperazone/sulbactam and resistant to other antimicrobial agents,therefore,we should enhance to this kind of isolates detection.
