Surveillance of bacterial resistance of clinical isolates to 10 antimicrobial agents
Objective:To investigate the antibiotic resistance of bacteria clinically isolated from 1994 to 1995 in our hospital. Methods:Bacterial susceptibility to 10 antimicrobial agents was examined with double dilution test. Results:689 clinical bacterial strains isolated in our hospital from 1994 to 1995 were collected in the study
which included 252 Gram positive and 437 Gram negative strains. Results:showed that bacterial resistance to fluoroqinolones increased obviously. The resistant rate of Escherichia coli was >40%. Cefotaxime and cefoperazone still kept potent antibacterial activity
but resistant rate of Psuedomonas aeroginosa to cefoperazone increased to 34%. Amikacin remained a powerful agent against enterobacteriaceae
resistant rate to gentamycin was higher. Most strains were resistant to ampicillin with an increased resistant rate of over 70%. Shigella spp and Samonella typhi were still susceptible to each antibiotics
and the resistant rates were lower than 16%. Conclusion:Bacterial resistance to fluoroquinolones increased obviously
while the third generation cephalosporins and amikacin keep higher antibacterial activity.
