Abstract:

Objective To analyze the distribution and the drug resistance of bloodstream infection(BSI) pathogenic bacteria in hospitalized patients in Jieshou People’s Hospital, provide a basis for clinical guidance on the treatment of BSI patients, and prevent and control nosocomial infection in local area. Methods From January in 2019 to December in 2022, 6 727 blood culture samples of inpatients were screened from the laboratory information system (LIS) in our hospital, and 668 (9.93%) strains were isolated, and the distribution and drug resistance of the bacteria were analyzed retrospectively. Statistical analysis was performed using Excel 2021 and WHONET 5.6 software. Results Pathogens were mainly isolated from infection department, intensive care unit, general surgery. BSI caused by respiratory system infection, urinary system infection, and hepatobiliary system infection was the most common, and 30-day mortality rate of patients was 23.50%. Among the 668 isolated strains, 461(69.01%) strains were Gram-negative bacteria, 205(30.69%) strains were Gram-positive bacteria and 2(0.30%) strains were fungi. The top five isolated strains(84.28%) were 274 (41.01%) strains of Escherichia coli, 141(21.10%) strains of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus, 91(13.62%) strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae, 34(5.09%) strains of Staphylococcus aureus and 23(3.44%) strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, respectively. The detection rate of Escherichia coli in 2021-2022 was decreased compared with 2019-2020 (P<0.05), while the detection rate of Klebsiella pneumoniae was increased slightly in 2021-2022 compared with 2019-2020 (P>0.05). The resistance rates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae to carbapenems, piperacillin/tazobactam, and amikacin were low, and the proportion of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) was low (6.09%). Among Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) accounted for a relatively high proportion (76.47%), while Gram-positive bacteria including Enterococcus were not detected to be resistant to vancomycin, linezolid and tigecycline. Conclusions Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae in Gram-negative bacteria, and the coagulase-negative Staphylococcus and Staphylococcus aureus in Gram-positive bacteria were the main strains of BSI in local area. The main Gram-negative bacteria were highly sensitive to carbapenems, amikacin, piperacillin/tazobactam. MRSA has a higher detection rate.
