Abstract

Objective.To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of Acinetobacter spp.in our hospital. Methods The drug resistacne of of Acinetobacter spp.isolated from 1 st January 2005 to31st December 2007 in our hospital was monitored. Results There 446 strains of Acinetobacter spp.were isolated including 395 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii(88.6%),29 strains of Acinetobacter lwoffii(6.5%).There 75.8% Acinetobacter spp were isolated from respiratory samples,4.3% from blood samples.The resistance rates of Acinetobacter spp to cefoperazone/sulbactam,imipenem,meropenem were all less than 20%. Conclusion Acinetobacter spp show low resistance to cefoperazone/sulbactam,imipenem,meropenem.But rational use of antibiotics is necessary for delay the development of drug reissitance.
