Abstract

OBJECTIVE To know the present status and drug resistance of pathogens in urinary system infection. METHODS A total of 237 pathogen strains in urinary system infection from inpatients and outpatients from Jan 2000 to Dec 2003 were identified and the drug resistance test was preformed. RESULTS Escherichia coli rated the top one (57.9%), the next were Enterococcus, coagulase-negative Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and fungi. The result of drug resistance suggested that Enterobacteriaceae be resistant to several antibiotics, but still sensitive to imipenem (100%). G+ Cocci were also showed very serious drug ~resistance, but still sensitive to vancomycin (100%). CONCLUSIONS E. coli is the main infectious bacterium in urinary infection. Rational use of antibiotics should be carried out according to urine culture results.
