Abstract

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and drug-resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa(PAE) in nosocomial infections to provide the scientific evidence for the clinical use of the antibiotics.METHODS PAE was cultured and identified according to the National Rules of Procedures Clinical Laboratory.Drug resistance was analyzed by K-B methods.RESULTS A total of 318 strains of PAE were mainly isolated from intensive care unit(ICU),departments of cerebral surgery and chest surgery.Drug-resistance of PAE to 14 kinds of antibiotics showed that SXT(91.2%),cefotaxime(89.9%),aztreonam(70.1%),gentamicin and ciprofloxacin(69.8%),respectively.And the resistance to piperacillin,levofloxacin and cefepime was 50.0%.CONCLUSIONS Drug-resistance status of P.aeruginosa is very serious.Hospital should strengthen monitoring and controlling of it.
