Resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in ICU

OBJECTIVE To understand the antibiotic resistance of Pseudemonas aeruginosa isolated from ICU and give advices to clinicians.METHODS The antibiotic susceptibility of P.aeruginosa isolated from ICU to 12 kinds of antibiotics were tested by disc diffusion method.RESULTS The antibiotic susceptibility of 472 P.aeruginosa strains to imipenem,piperacillin/sulbactam,piperacillin,amikacin,ceftazidime,tobramycin,cefepime,ciprofloxacin,ceftriaxone,gentimicin,aztreonam and cefotaxime were 82.2%,74.94%,69.92%,64.87%,59.95%,52.93%,49.88%,49.65%,44.50%,41.92%,38.17%,and 35.60%,respectively.CONCLUSIONS P.aeruginosa isolated from ICU of our hospital is suscepitable to imipenem,piperacillin/sulbactam,piperacillin,amikacin and the cephalosporins,but show lower susceptibility to other antibiotics.
