Analysis on resistance of streptococcus pneumoniae isolated from patients with respiratory tract infection

Objective To investigate the resistance of streptococcus pneumoniae isolated from patients with respiratory tract infection. Methods Drug sensitive test was made on streptococcus pneumoniae obtained by bacterial culture. Results Penicillin resistant streptococcus pneumoniae accounted for 39.3%, the resistant rate of cefoperazone/sulbactam, cefaclor, cefuroxime, cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, erythromycin, clindamycin, chemitrim, vancomycin and rifamycin were 13.8%, 36.6%, 17.2%, 35.9%, 16.6%, 40.0%, 36.6%, 51.7%, 38.6%, 60.0%, 0 and 17.2%, respectively. Conclusions The antibiotics resistant rate of streptococcus pneumoniae in Jilin province was higher. The resistant penicillin bacteria strains generally resist the other antibiotics. The resistant three generations of cephalosporin strains have been found, but no strains resisting vancomycin.
