Distribution and Drug Resistance of Pathogenic Bacteria in Children with Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection in a Hospital from 2016 to 2019
Objective: To provide reference for the empirical treatment of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) in children with antibiotics. Methods: Totally 119 strains of pathogenic bacteria isolated from urine culture of CAUTI in hospitalized children from Children’s Hospital of Soochow University from 2016 to 2019 were retrospectively collected. Distribution of pathogenic bacteria and results of drug sensitivity test were analyzed. Results: There were 86 strains (72.3%) of Gram-positive bacteria
27 strains (22.7%) of Gram-negative bacteria
and 6 strains (5.0%) of fungi. The pathogenic bacteria seen in order were Enterococcus faecalis (55 strains
46.2%)
Enterococcus faecalis (20 strains
16.8%) and Escherichia coli (10 strains
8.4%). The age of children was (31.9±8.8) months
and 80 cases (67.2%) were males. The sensitivity rates of E. faecalis and E. faecium to vancomycin
linezolid and teicoranin were 100%. The susceptibility rate of E. faecalis to ampicillin was 81.8% and that of levofloxacin was 96.4%
while E. faecium was resistant to ampicillin and levofloxacin. Conclusion: The pathogenic bacteria of CAUTI in children are mainly E. faecalis and E. faecium. Regular monitoring of pathogen distribution and drug resistance in medical institutions is essential to guide the rational application of antibiotics and management of nosocomial infection.
