Abstract: | Objective To analyze bacterial distribution and drug sensitivity results in blood culture of patients with bloodstream infections in a top three hospital, and provides the basis for clinical rational use of antibiotics. Methods We retrospectively surveyed the results of blood culture isolation and drug sensitivity test in patients with bloodstream infections from January 2010 to December 2018 in Yunnan Second People's Hospital. The distribution of pathogens and drug susceptibility results were statistically analyzed using WHONET 5.6 software. Results A total of 2,163 strains of bacteria were detected, including 1,379 Gram-negative bacilli (63.8%), 710 Gram-positive bacteria (32.8%), and 74 fungi (3.4%). Among the Gram-negative bacteria, Escherichia coli was 48.1%, followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae 16.0% and Salmonella paratyphi A 11.4%. Gram-positive bacteria were mainly coagulase-negative staphylococci 61.0%, followed by Staphylococcus aureus 16.1% and Enterococcus faecium 5.6%. The fungus was mainly composed of 35.1% of Candida albicans, 20.3% of Candida parapsilosis, and 17.6% of Candida tropicalis. One case of histoplasma was detected in the fungus. The top three departments in the detection rate were 16.2% in ICU, 15.0% in oncology, and 14.4% in trauma center. The drug susceptibility results showed that the detection rate of K. pneumoniae (CRKP) against carbapenemase was 13.6%, and the detection rate of Escherichia coli (CREC) resistant to carbapenemase was 0.3%. The detection rates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae of β-lactamase (ESBLs) were 64.9% and 36.7%, respectively. The carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) was 73.6%, the carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) was 47.8%, and the detection rate of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was 38.6%. The detection of the first few Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Staphylococcus aureus had a high resistance rate to commonly used antibiotics, especially carbapenemase (KPC). The extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) strain and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus (MRS) had higher resistance rates, and the resistance rates of enzyme-producing strains and non-producing strains were significantly different (P<0.01). Salmonella paratyphi A had higher sensitivity to commonly used antibacterial drugs. Conclusion The main pathogens of bloodstream infection patients were Gram-negative bacilli, and the resistance of different pathogens to antimicrobial agents was quite different. Blood culture and in vitro susceptibility test before antibacterial use in patients with unexplained fever or suspected bloodstream infections were of great significance for clinical diagnosis and treatment of bloodstream infections and rational selection of antibacterial |
