ObjectiveTo retrospectively analyze antibiotic resistance and clinical characteristics of Klebsiella pneumoniae strains for guiding the rational use of antibiotics in the area of the Bai nationality.MethodsThe antibiotic resistance and clinical characteristics of Klebsiella pneumoniae strains were retrospective analyzed, which were isolated from specimens of inpatients in First People’s Hospital of Dali between May 2016 and May 2017.ResultsAmong the 1 342 samples of various kinds of samples, 262 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae were isolated, with the detection rate of 19.52% (262/1342). Clinical isolated strains were mainly from the new pediatric, intensive care unit, respiratory medicine, pediatrics, and mostly from sputum specimens (78.24%, 205/262). By screening of 22 kinds of antimicrobial agents, all strains had ampicillin resistance (100.00%), while none of these strains had ertapenem resistance. Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) positive strains’ resistance rate was higher than ESBLs negative strains (χ2=261.992, P<0.01). There were 76 drug resistant profiles, most of which were multidrug-resistant bacteria except 116 (44.27%) strains were resistant to ampicillin antibiotics only. And the number of strains in other resistant types ranged from 1 to 16. Only one of 262 strains had amikacin resistance, two of them were resistant to imipenem and meroenan.ConclusionsThere are many multidrug-resistant bacteria in Klebsiella pneumoniae in the population of Bai nationality, and there are no extensively drug resistant bacteria and pandrug-resistant bacteria strains. The strains of carbapene-resistant antibiotics should be worthy of clinical attention.
ObjectiveTo investigate the condensate pollution in the pipeline of severe pneumonia patients undergoing mechanical ventilation.MethodsFrom January 2017 to January 2019, 120 patients with severe pneumonia treated by mechanical ventilation in our hospital were collected continuously. The lower respiratory tract secretions were collected for bacteriological examination. At the same time, the condensed water in the ventilator exhaust pipe was collected for bacteriological examination at 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 hours after tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. The bacterial contamination in the condensed water at different time points was analyzed and separated from the lower respiratory tract. The consistency of bacteria in secretion and drug resistance analysis of bacterial contamination in condensate water were carried out.ResultsOf the 120 patients with severe pneumonia after mechanical ventilation, isolates were cultured in the lower respiratory tract secretions of 102 patients. One strain was cultured in 88 cases, two strains were cultured in 10 cases, and three strains were cultured in 4 cases. The isolates were mainly Gram-negative bacteria (57.5%) and Gram-positive bacteria (42.5%). The most common isolates were Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Acinetobacter baumannii. The contamination rate of condensate water was 5.0% at 4 hours, 37.5% at 8 hours, 60.0% at 12 hours, 76.7% at 16 hours, 95.0% at 20 hours, and 100.0% at 24 hours, respectively. The bacterial contamination rate in condensate water at different time points was statistically significant (P=0.000). The pollution rate at 4 hours was significantly lower than that at 8 hours (P=0.000). Gram-negative bacteria accounted for 57.5% and Gram-positive bacteria accounted for 42.5%. The most common isolates were Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii. The consistency of bacteria in lower respiratory tract and condensate water was 83.3% in severe pneumonia patients undergoing mechanical ventilation. The overall resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii and Staphylococcus aureus was higher, but the resistance to imipenem/cilastatin was lower.ConclusionsThe bacterial contamination in the condensate of patients with severe pneumonia during mechanical ventilation is serious. The pollution rate is low within 4 hours. It is consistent with the bacterial contamination in lower respiratory tract and the bacterial resistance is high.
Hyperprolactinemia is the common clinical syndrome; the causes of hyperprolactinemia are physiological, pharmacological, and pathological, in which prolactinoma is the most common cause. In drug therapy, dopamine agonists are the first choice, but there are 10%–20% of the patients who are resistant to drug therapy. This paper mainly summarized the causes, treatments, mechanisms of drug resistance, treatment during pregnancy, and progresses in the treatment of prolactinoma, so as to provide some theoretical basis to further research of hyperprolactinemia.
Objective To analyze the clinical and etiological characteristics and bacterial susceptibility in patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in Guangzhou area.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on VAP patients in four hospital of Guangzhou from Jan 2004 to Oct 2005.Totally 157 patients were enrolled in this study，whose flora was identified and tested by Kirby Bauer disk diffusion susceptibility test.The univariate analysis method was used to analyze the prognostic parameters.Results The average onset time of VAP was 7.7 days after mechanical ventilation with a mortality rate of 38.2%.The proportion of Gram-negative bacilli，Gram-positive cocci and eumycete was 68.0%，23.4% and 8.7% respectively in 184 isolated strains.The most common pathogens were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (18.5%)，Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (14.1％)，Burkholderia cepacia (10.9%)，Staphylococcus aureus (10.3%) and Acinetobacter baumannii (8.7%).Pseudomonas aeruginosa，Stenotrophomonas maltophilia，and Acinetobacter baumannii were resistant to most common antibacterials such as cephalosporin and imipenem.18 strains oxacillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus，7 strains oxacillin resistant Staphylococcus simulans and one vancomycin resistant Staphylococcus aureus were isolated.Expect for vancomycin，teicoplanin and fusidic acid，the resistance of Gram-positive cocci were above 50% to other 9 antibacterials.Conclusions The antibiotic resistance situation of VAP in Guangzhou is very serious with high mortality.It is important to reinforce the prevention and guidance on the proper treatment of VAP.
ObjectiveTo find out the major isolates distribution, drug resistance changes of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) in 2013 for rational use of antibiotics and hospital infection control. MethodsA total of 32 566 cultured bacteria samples from the patients diagnosed between January 1st and December 31st 2013 were collected, using conventional tube biochemical assays and semi-automatic automicrobic (AMS) for bacteria identification; and antimicrobial susceptibility testing, major drug resistance mechanism detection were performed according to CLSI documents. MDRO definition was made according to the 2011 international consensus from European Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), American CDC, Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI), and Food and Drug Administration. The data was analyzed by WHOnet 5.6 software. ResultsWe got 3 684 strains isolates, G- accounted for 76.08%, G+ 16.80%, fungi 7.11%, and fastidious bacteria 17.29%. The top ten isolates in order were:E.coli, A.baumannii, Ps.aeruginosa, H.influenzae, K.pneumoniae, S.aureus, S.pneumoniae, A.fumigatus, M.catarrhalis and C.freundii. From the first quarter 2012 to the fourth quarter 2013, the extended spectrum β lactamases (ESBL)-producing E.coli increased from 40.23% to 53.54%, ESBL-producing K.pneumonia increased from 14.28% to 34.78%, XDR-A.baumannii increased from 62.38% to 99.25%, metalloenzyme-producing Ps.aeruginosa increased from 7.37% to 25.37%, methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus increased from 23.81% to 58.70%, and VRE increased from 0.00% to 28.12%. ConclusionIn the isolates, the percentage of G- was the highest, and the rate of MDRO are all unremittingly raising, which suggests us should pay more attention to microbiology analysis, rational use of antibiotics, strengthening hospital infection control, reducing the bacterial resistance, and strengthening MDRO surveillance.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo establish adriamycin (ADM) resistant pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990/ADM and to investigate its drug resistance mechanism.MethodsADM-resistant pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990/ADM was obtained by culture of pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990 in vitro with intermittently increasing the concentration of ADM in the culture medium for ten months. After two months of drug free culture, its biological characteristics, drug sensitivity as well as the expression and function of multidrug resistant gene 1 (mdr1) were detected, respectively. ResultsCompared with the parental cell line, SW1990/ADM showed great changes in biological characteristics and developed a cross resistance to various chemotherapy drugs. The drug resistance indexes of cell line SW1990/ADM to ADM, mitomycin, fluorouracil and gemcitabine were 49.60, 7.25, 3.80 and 1.25, respectively. The level of mdr1 mRNA expression in cell line SW1990/ADM was much higher than that of the parental cell line（P＜0.01). ConclusionWe have established adriamycin resistant pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990/ADM with multidrug resistance phenotype, its multidrug resistance is positively relevant to the expression of mdr1.
Objective To explore the clinical epidemiological characteristics of the lung infection after orthotopical liver transplantation. Methods The clinical data included infection morbidity, mortality, infectious times and relative factors, clinical manifestations, the bacterial strains and distributions of the pathogens, the bacterial resistances of the 53 liver transplantation recipients from 2003.3～2006.12 were summarized and analyzed retrospectively. Results Among 53 recipients, 33 developed lung infectious and 6 died .The mobidity was 62.3% and mortality was 18.2%, with a OR of 1.0. Lung infection predominantly occurred in the first month, especially in the first week after transplantation.There were many factors related to lung infections.Various pathogens, especially Klebsialla, Escherichia Coli and Staphylococus Hominis were isolated from sputum, airway suction drainages and throat swabs. Most of the G- bacteria were sensitive to aminoglycosides,β lactam and lactamase compounds and carbapenems while G+ bacteria were sensitive only to glycopeptides. All the bacteria were resistant to quinolones, β lactams of third and forth generation. Conclusions After liver transplantation, the morbidity and mortality of the lung infections are high.The infections develope at earlier stage, manifest nontypical clinical features.Many factors are revealed to be relevant to the lung infections,meanwhile, various drug-resistant pathogen strains are isolated.
Objective To investigate the initial drug resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( M.tuberculosis) in patients with culture positive pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods 1184 patients who hospitalized in Shandong Provincial Chest Hospital with culture positive pulmonary tuberculosis were enrolled. The absolute density method was used to assess the drug resistance of M. tuberculosis. Results M.tuberculosis were sensitive to all anti-tuberculosis drugs in 834 cases( 70. 44% ) , and resistant in 350 cases( 29. 56% ) , in which initial resistance and secondary resistance accounted for 44. 86% ( 157/350) and 55. 14% ( 193 /350) respectively. In 157 cases with initial resistance, 53 cases ( 33. 8% ) were mono-drug resistant tuberculosis( MonoDR-TB) , of which 38 cases were resistance to Streptomycin( 24. 2% ) ; 72 cases( 45. 9% ) were polydrug-resistant tuberculosis ( PDR-TB) ; 20 cases ( 12. 7% ) were multidrug-resistant tuberculosis ( MDR-TB) ; 12 cases ( 7. 6% ) were extensively drug resistant tuberculosis ( XDR-TB) . There was no totally drug-resistant tuberculosis ( TDR-TB) . Conclusions The initial drug resistance of M.tuberculosis in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis is still serious. Unified management of TB control programs and full supervision of chemotherapy are very imperative.
Objective To investigate the drug resistance and homogeneous analysis of Acinetobacter baumanii in emergency intensive care unit ( EICU) . Methods Four multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii ( MDR-Ab) strains isolated fromnosocomial inpatients fromJuly 25 to September 7 in 2009 were collected and tested for drug sensitivity and MIC determination as well. The A. baumannii isolates were typed with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis ( PFGE) to determine whether they derived fromthe same clone.Results Four isolates from nosocomial inpatients were resistant to multiple antibiotics including carbapenem. The PFGE types identified from four isolates were A and B. The A. baumannii isolates did not derived from the same clone. Conclusion The prevalence of nosocomial infection is not due to transmission of the same strains among different individuals in EICU.
Objective To review the clinical features and trend in antimicrobial resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) bloodstream infections. Methods Retrospective analysis was performed by collecting data of underlying diseases, potential risk factors, clinical characteristics, blood test results, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health EvaluationⅡ (APACHEⅡ) scores at onset, bacterial resistance to antibiotics and antimicrobial therapy were collected in Hunan Provincial People’s Hospital from January 2010 to June 2016. Results There were 114 non-duplicated A. baumannii complex blood isolates identified in this research. All patients had at least one underlying disease and accepted at least one surgery or invasive operation within the past 14 days. Multidrug-resistant A. baumannii (MDRAB) was isolated from 89 (78.1%) patients. Of the 114 strains of A. baumannii, 12.3% were resistant to tigecycline, 55.3% to amikacin and 61.4% to cefoperazone-sulbactam. The overall mortality was 51.8% (59/114). The patients with MDRAB had higher mortality rate than those with non-MDRAB (62.9% vs. 12.0%, χ2=20.268, P<0.001). With higher incidence of being in the intensive care unit, intubation/tracheotomy and increased APACHEⅡ score among patients with MDRAB bacteremia (P<0.05). Compared with subjects treated with tigecycline based regimen, those treated with non tigecycline for multidrug resistantA. baumannii had a higher mortality (64.8% vs. 60.0%) but there was no statistical significance (P>0.05). Conclusions The isolated A. baumannii are mainly multidrug resistant and with high mortality. Being in the intensive care unit, increased APACHEⅡ score and intubation/tracheotomy were risk factors for higher mortality among patients with MDRAB bloodstream infection. Tigecycline based regimen doesn’t improve patients’ prognosis.
