Objective To study the distribution and drug resistance of pathogens causing hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) and explore the related risk factors, so as to provide valuable clinical reference for prevention and treatment of HAP. Methods A case-control study was conducted in a 3700-bed tertiary hospital. Nosocomial infections reported from January 2014 to December 2014 were investigated. A total of 419 inpatients with HAP were enrolled in as a study group, and 419 inpatients without nosocomial infection in the same period and department, with same gender, underlying diseases, and same age, were chosen as a control group. Risk factors of HAP, distribution and drug resistance of pathogens of HAP were analyzed. Results The incidence rate of HAP was 0.62% and the mortality rate was 19.81%. Multivariate analysis identified chronic lung diseases, admission in ICU, two or more kinds of antibiotics used, hospitalization time≥5 days, cerebrovascular disease, and mechanical ventilation were significant risk factors. Totally 492 strains of pathogens were isolated, including 319 strains of gram-negative bacteria, 61 strains of gram-positive bacteria, 112 strains of fungi.Acinetobacter baumannii,Klebsiella pneumonia,Candida albicans,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Candida glabrata ranked the top five predominant pathogens. Drug resistance rates ofAcinetobacter baumannii to commonly used antibiotics were higher than 75%. Drug resistance rates ofKlebsiella pneumoniae to piperacillin and third-generation cephalosporin were higher than 50%. Conclusions HAP prevails in patients with hospitalization time≥5 days, admission in ICU, cerebrovascular diseases, two or more antibiotics combined used, chronic lung diseases, and mechanicalventilation. It is associated with increased length of hospital stay, decreased quality of life, and elevated morbidity and mortality. The main pathogens of HAP are Gram-negatives.Acinetobacter baumannii andKlebsiella pneumoniae are resistant to the common antibiotics in different degree.
Objective To understand the current rate of nosocomial infection and its changing trend in a grade A comprehensive hospital in 10 years, and to provide scientific basis for the monitoring, control and management of nosocomial infection. Methods Using the method of cross-sectional survey, the inpatients in Mianyang Central Hospital from 2011 to 2020 were selected for bedside survey, and the questionnaire was filled in after review of medical records. The data of cross-sectional survey of nosocomial infection were collected, and the infection-related data of nosocomial and community-acquired infection of patients in each department were statistically analyzed. Results A total of 19 595 cases were investigated. The prevalence rate of nosocomial infection was 3.79%, and the the case prevalence rate of nosocomial infection was 4.04%. The prevalence of community-acquired infection was 33.44%, and the case prevalence rate of community-acquired infection was 35.30%. The departments with higher prevalence rate in nosocomial infection were intensive care unit, neurosurgery, cardiothoracic surgery and hematology. The departments with high prevalence rate in the community-acquired infection were burn department, pediatrics department, neonatology department, respiratory medicine department and pediatric intensive care unit. The most common site of nosocomial infection was lower respiratory tract infection, followed by upper respiratory tract sensation, urinary tract, abdominal tissue and blood. The main pathogens of nosocomial infections were Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The utilization rate of antibacterial drugs was 42.93%. There was a downward trend in prophylactic drug use, mainly one drug combination, and the proportion of combination drug decreased.Conclusion Through the investigation, it can be seen that the key points of nosocomial infection management and prevention and control should be lower respiratory tract infection, postoperative surgical infection, multi-drug resistant bacteria management and rational use of antibiotics.
ObjectiveTo investigate the incidence, pathogens, risk factors and clinical outcomes for ventilator- associated pneumonia (VAP) in children after tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) surgical correction, in order to offer reliable data for the prevention of VAP.MethodsThis was a retrospective study performed in Guangdong General Hospital and 181 children (121 males, 60 females, mean age of 11.2±10.4 months) undergoing surgical correction for TOF were included. ALL the children who received mechanical ventilation for 48 hours or longer between January 2013 and December 2017 were classified into a VAP group (n=44) and a non-VAP group (n=137). T test, χ2 test and multiple logistic regression analysis were used to identify the possible risk factors for VAP.ResultsThis study enrolled 181 patients , of which 44 were diagnosed as VAP. And the incidence of VAP was 24.3%. The most frequent isolated pathogen was Gram-negative bacteria (69.7%). Single factor analysis showed that the variables significantly associated with a risk factor of VAP were: hypoxic spells, preoperative pneumonia, preoperative mechanical ventilation support, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time, reintubation, pulmonary atelectasis, low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS), intra-abdominal drainage and transfusion of fresh frozen plasma. The multiple logistic regression showed CPB time (OR=1.011), reintubation (OR=14.548), pulmonary atelectasis (OR=6.139) and LCOS (OR=3.054) were independent risk factors for VAP in children after TOF surgical correction. Patients with VAP had prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation, a longer ICU stay and longer hospitalization time.ConclusionsThe VAP rate in this population is higher than that reported abroad, which leads to prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation and a longer hospital stay. The effective measures for prevention of VAP should be taken according to the related risk factors for VAP to decrease the incidence of VAP in children after TOF surgical correction.
ObjectiveTo analyze the trend of hospital infection, so as to provide a scientific basis for hospital infection prevention and control. MethodsFrom 2011 to 2013, according to the criteria of diagnosis of nosocomial infections set up by the Ministry of Health, the prevalence rates of nosocomial infections in patients who were hospitalized on the survey day were investigated by the combination of bedside investigation and medical records checking. ResultsThe incidence rates of nosocomial infections from 2011 to 2013 were 2.99%, 2.31% and 1.95%, respectively, presenting a downward trend. The rate of hospital infection was the highest in comprehensive Intensive Care Unit, and the main infection site was the lower respiratory tract. Gram-negative bacteria were the main pathogens causing hospital infections, including Klebliella pnermoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter baumannii and Escherichia coli. The utilization rates of antibacterial agents in these three years were respectively 39.84%, 34.58% and 34.22%. ConclusionTargeted surveillance and management of key departments and sites should be strengthened. It is necessary to strengthen the surveillance and management of antibiotics, raise the submission rate of pathogens, and use antibiotics appropriately.
ObjectiveTo explore the risk factors for surgical patients associated with postoperative nosocomial infection through monitoring the infection conditions of the patients, in order to provide a scientific basis for the development of hospital infection control measures in a second-grade class-A hospital in Chengdu City. MethodsWe conducted the survey with cluster sampling as the sampling method and the uniform questionnaire in the departments of orthopedic, neural and thoracic surgery from July 2011 to June 2012. The main parameters we observed were the patients'general and surgical conditions, antibiotics usage and hospital infection situation. Data were analyzed using the National Nosocomial Infection Surveillance Network software and chi-square test of single factors. ResultsIn this survey, we monitored 50 cases of postoperative hospital infection. The infection rate was 7.73% and the highest infection rate was in the Neurosurgery Department. The main site of infection was lower respiratory tract, followed by surgical site. The different usage time of antimicrobial drug in perioperative period resulted in different infection rates, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=601.50, P<0.005). The rate of adjusted postoperative hospital infection was higher than pre-adjusted rate except that of the neurosurgery doctor 4. The risk factors associated with hospital postoperative infection in our hospital were:patients'conditions including underlying disease, emergency surgery, type of anesthesia, operative duration, hospital stay and postoperative drainage. Most of the hospital infection cases were caused by bacteria of the gram-negative bacilli, and the major pathogens were Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii in our hospital. ConclusionThe hospital should particularly strengthen the prevention and control of hospital infection in patients after neurosurgical operations. For patients with basic diseases, we should actively improve the patients'physical conditions before operation and control the primary lesion. Targeted control measures should be taken for different factors related to surgery. Reasonable selection of antimicrobial agents should be based on the epidemic strains in our hospital.

ObjectiveTo investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance of the clinical strains isolated from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University in 2019 and provide a basis for clinical rational use of antibiotics.MethodsAll the clinical samples which were collected from January 1st to December 31st in 2019 were employed to determine antimicrobial resistance retrospectively. Results were interpreted according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute 2019 breakpoints and analyzed by WHONET 5.6 software.ResultsA total of 6 784 nonduplicate strains were isolated in 2019, including 2 865 (42.2%) strains of Gram-positive bacteria and 3 919 (57.8%) strains of Gram-negative bacteria. The top five pathogens with the highest detection rate were Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant coagulase negative Staphylococcus accounted for 33.0% and 72.0%, respectively. The detection rate of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium was 1.0% and the detection rates of linezolid-resistant Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis were 0.3% and 2.9%, respectively. As for the non-meningitis Streptococcus pneumoniae, the prevalence of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 100% in the isolates from adults. Extended-spectrum β-lactamases-producing strains accounted for 58.2%, 33.6%, and 33.3% in Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., and Proteus mirabilis, respectively. The total detection rate of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae was 7.8%, among which the detection rates of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae were 1.5% and 17.2%, respectively. The percentages of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains resistant to imipenem and meropenem were 25.0% and 21.6%, respectively, and those of Acinetobacter baumannii were 73.8% and 74.2%, respectively.ConclusionsBacterial resistance is still serious in this hospital. It is necessary to strengthen rational drug use. At the same time, effective prevention and control measures should be taken to avoid cross-infection.
Objective To study the catheter-related infection (CRI) in cancer patients treated with central venous catheterization. Methods A prospective study with 196 cancer patients was conducted to analyze the types of catheter-related infection and pathogen, as well as the relationship between CRI and the following factors: insert location, gender, age, remained time, or bone marrow suppression. Results Of the total 196 cases, 16 cases were diagnosed as CRI and the CRI rate was 8.2%. The types of CRI were five cases of pathogen colonization, four cases of insert location infection and seven cases of catheter-related bloodstream infection. Of the total 244 specimens, 20 were positive including 7 pathogenic bacteria in either Gram positive or Gram negative types, the dominating pathogens were staphylococcus aureus, staphylococcus epidermidis, acinetobacter baumannii and klebsiella pneumoniae. CRI was related to both insert location and age which were both the independent risk factors. Conclusion The concept of prevention should be set up, and the comprehensive measures should be taken to reduce CRI, such as choosing an appropriate insert location and complying with a strict catheter insert standard.
ObjectiveTo investigate the distribution and drug resistance of the pathogens isolated from hospitalized pediatric patients with respiratory tract infections, and to provide guidance for empiric therapy. MethodsRespiratory tract specimens from hospitalized pediatric patients with respiratory tract infections from 2011 to 2015 were collected, and the strains were identified and the drug susceptibility was tested. ResultsA total of 1995 strains of pathogens, 1281 (64.21%) from boys and 714 (35.79%) from girls, were isolated from 6236 specimens and the detection rate was 31.99%. The mean age of the hospitalized pediatric patients was (1.22±2.05) years (ranged from 1 day to 14 years). 1393 (69.82%) pediatric patients were younger than 1 year. Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Candida albicans and Acinetobacter baumannii ranked the top five species, accounting for 29.82%, 15.09%, 13.18%, 12.73% and 5.91%, respectively. 1995 strains included gram-negative bacteria (50.93%), gram-positive bacteria (35.29%), and fungi (13.78%). The resistance rate of Staphylococcus aureus to oxacillin was 31.76%, but it was 100% sensitive to vancomycin and linezolid. The resistant rate of gram-negative bacteria to imipenem was ranged from 1.52% to 5.93%. The resistant rate of gram-negative bacteria to ceftazidime, cefepime, piperacillin tazobactam and tobramycin was less than 30.00%. ConclusionsThe infants whose age are younger than 1 year comprise the majority of the hospitalized pediatric patients with respiratory tract infections. The proportion of male is more than that of female. Staphylococcus aureus and enterobacteriaceae were the main isolated pathogens. There is difference in drug resistance between different pathogens, so antibiotics should be chosen according to the results of drug sensitivity testing.
