Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the species of pathogens causing pulmonary infections in Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit (NSICU) and their antibiotic resistance, and offer reference for the prevention and control of pulmonary infections in NSICU.

Methods

The species and resistance pattern of bacterial isolates in NSICU of The First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University from June 2014 to August 2017 were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Bacterial identification and antibiotic susceptibility tests were carried out by using VITEK2 automatic system, the data was analyzed by WHONET5 software.

Results

Totally 217 strains of pathogens causing pulmonary infections were isolated, including 44 strains of Gram-positive cocci, 173 strains of Gram-negative bacilli. The top 4 isolated pathogens were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) (22.12%), Klebsiella pneumonia (K. pneumonia) (21.20%), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) (17.51%) and Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) (16.59%). The susceptible rates of S. aureus to all the antibiotics were less than 65.0% except Vancomycin (100.0%), Linezolid (100.0%), Tigecycline (100.0%), Nitrofurantoin (100.0%), Quinupristin/ Dalfopristin (100.0%) and Sulfamethoxazole (94.7%). The susceptible rates of P. aeruginosa to all the antibiotics were less than 65.0% except Amikacin (95.8%), Tobramycin (89.6%), Gentamycin (83.3%), Cefepime (77.1%) and Ceftazidime (75.0%). The susceptible rates of K. pneumonia were high in Amikacin (91.3%), Meropenem (91.3%), Pipercillin/sulbactam (91.3%), imipenem (89.1%) and Cefotetan (89.1%). while to other common antibiotics, the susceptible rates were more than 60.0% except Ampicillin (0.0%), Piperacillin (2.2%) and Nitrofurantoin (21.7%). The susceptible rates of A. baumannii to all the antibiotics were less than 30.0% except Tobramycin (33.3%).

Conclusion

The pathogens causing pulmonary infections in NSICU present a trend as highly centralize and multidrug-resistant. To emphasize on the recognition of the pulmonary infections and the antibiotic resistance of NSICU, it is important to take certain preventive measures so as to control and reduce pulmonary infections.
