Analysis resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae of some hospital in Qingdao from 2005 to 2008

Objective To monitor the resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae following the 2004 in Qingdao area, and to provide a reasonable basis for clinical application of antimicrobial agents. Methods Collecting respiratory tract, blood, cerebrospinal fluid and other specimens from out-patient and in-patients of some hospital in Qingdao from January 2005 to December 2008. According to the recommendation of NCCLS, antibiotic resistance analysis of 11 kinds of antibiotic to the isolated 231 Streptococcus pneumoniae by micro-agar dilution method, and analysis resistance trends and age differences. Results The results showed that the rate of Streptococcus pneumoniae not sensitive to penicillin is 23. 38% (PRSP: 9.52% , PISP: 13. 85% ) , resistant to cefotaxime is 9. 96% (23/231), resistant to amoxicillin is 12. 55% , resistant to erythromycin is 90. 48% (209/231). PRSP rate of patients younger than 14 years of age 27. 91% (12/43), significantly higher than that of the PRSP rate of adults 5. 38% (10/186). Conclusion The rate of resistant to penicillin Streptococcus pneumoniae increased significantly from 2004, and an increasing trend year by year, the resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae is also a rising trend year by year. For patients infected low penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae in this region, cefotaxime, amoxicillin are preferred drugs.
