Objective To study the distribution and drug resistance of pathogens causing hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) and explore the related risk factors, so as to provide valuable clinical reference for prevention and treatment of HAP. Methods A case-control study was conducted in a 3700-bed tertiary hospital. Nosocomial infections reported from January 2014 to December 2014 were investigated. A total of 419 inpatients with HAP were enrolled in as a study group, and 419 inpatients without nosocomial infection in the same period and department, with same gender, underlying diseases, and same age, were chosen as a control group. Risk factors of HAP, distribution and drug resistance of pathogens of HAP were analyzed. Results The incidence rate of HAP was 0.62% and the mortality rate was 19.81%. Multivariate analysis identified chronic lung diseases, admission in ICU, two or more kinds of antibiotics used, hospitalization time≥5 days, cerebrovascular disease, and mechanical ventilation were significant risk factors. Totally 492 strains of pathogens were isolated, including 319 strains of gram-negative bacteria, 61 strains of gram-positive bacteria, 112 strains of fungi.Acinetobacter baumannii,Klebsiella pneumonia,Candida albicans,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Candida glabrata ranked the top five predominant pathogens. Drug resistance rates ofAcinetobacter baumannii to commonly used antibiotics were higher than 75%. Drug resistance rates ofKlebsiella pneumoniae to piperacillin and third-generation cephalosporin were higher than 50%. Conclusions HAP prevails in patients with hospitalization time≥5 days, admission in ICU, cerebrovascular diseases, two or more antibiotics combined used, chronic lung diseases, and mechanicalventilation. It is associated with increased length of hospital stay, decreased quality of life, and elevated morbidity and mortality. The main pathogens of HAP are Gram-negatives.Acinetobacter baumannii andKlebsiella pneumoniae are resistant to the common antibiotics in different degree.
Objective To understand the current rate of nosocomial infection and its changing trend in a grade A comprehensive hospital in 10 years, and to provide scientific basis for the monitoring, control and management of nosocomial infection. Methods Using the method of cross-sectional survey, the inpatients in Mianyang Central Hospital from 2011 to 2020 were selected for bedside survey, and the questionnaire was filled in after review of medical records. The data of cross-sectional survey of nosocomial infection were collected, and the infection-related data of nosocomial and community-acquired infection of patients in each department were statistically analyzed. Results A total of 19 595 cases were investigated. The prevalence rate of nosocomial infection was 3.79%, and the the case prevalence rate of nosocomial infection was 4.04%. The prevalence of community-acquired infection was 33.44%, and the case prevalence rate of community-acquired infection was 35.30%. The departments with higher prevalence rate in nosocomial infection were intensive care unit, neurosurgery, cardiothoracic surgery and hematology. The departments with high prevalence rate in the community-acquired infection were burn department, pediatrics department, neonatology department, respiratory medicine department and pediatric intensive care unit. The most common site of nosocomial infection was lower respiratory tract infection, followed by upper respiratory tract sensation, urinary tract, abdominal tissue and blood. The main pathogens of nosocomial infections were Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The utilization rate of antibacterial drugs was 42.93%. There was a downward trend in prophylactic drug use, mainly one drug combination, and the proportion of combination drug decreased.Conclusion Through the investigation, it can be seen that the key points of nosocomial infection management and prevention and control should be lower respiratory tract infection, postoperative surgical infection, multi-drug resistant bacteria management and rational use of antibiotics.

ObjectiveTo investigate the incidence, pathogens, risk factors and clinical outcomes for ventilator- associated pneumonia (VAP) in children after tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) surgical correction, in order to offer reliable data for the prevention of VAP.MethodsThis was a retrospective study performed in Guangdong General Hospital and 181 children (121 males, 60 females, mean age of 11.2±10.4 months) undergoing surgical correction for TOF were included. ALL the children who received mechanical ventilation for 48 hours or longer between January 2013 and December 2017 were classified into a VAP group (n=44) and a non-VAP group (n=137). T test, χ2 test and multiple logistic regression analysis were used to identify the possible risk factors for VAP.ResultsThis study enrolled 181 patients , of which 44 were diagnosed as VAP. And the incidence of VAP was 24.3%. The most frequent isolated pathogen was Gram-negative bacteria (69.7%). Single factor analysis showed that the variables significantly associated with a risk factor of VAP were: hypoxic spells, preoperative pneumonia, preoperative mechanical ventilation support, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time, reintubation, pulmonary atelectasis, low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS), intra-abdominal drainage and transfusion of fresh frozen plasma. The multiple logistic regression showed CPB time (OR=1.011), reintubation (OR=14.548), pulmonary atelectasis (OR=6.139) and LCOS (OR=3.054) were independent risk factors for VAP in children after TOF surgical correction. Patients with VAP had prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation, a longer ICU stay and longer hospitalization time.ConclusionsThe VAP rate in this population is higher than that reported abroad, which leads to prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation and a longer hospital stay. The effective measures for prevention of VAP should be taken according to the related risk factors for VAP to decrease the incidence of VAP in children after TOF surgical correction.

ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical characteristics, risk factors, and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria in patients with blood stream infections (BSI) after orthopedic surgery, so as to provide reference and basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.MethodsA retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data of 6 348 orthopedic patients admitted for surgery between January 2017 and December 2019. There were 3 598 males and 2 750 females. Their age ranged from 18 to 98 years, with an average of 66 years. The data of patients were collected, and the risk factors of BSI were analyzed by univariate analysis and logistic regression analysis. The distribution of BSI pathogenic bacteria, the results of drug sensitivity test, the incidence of BSI in patients after orthopedic surgery in different years, and the common sites of BSI secondary infection were summarized.ResultsBSI occurred in 106 (1.67%) of 6 348 patients after orthopedic surgery. There were 71 cases (66.98%) of secondary infection. The mortality of postoperative BSI patients was 1.89%, and the difference was significant when compared with that of non-postoperative BSI patients (0.24%) (χ2=5.313, P=0.021). The incidences of BSI in 2017, 2018, and 2019 were 1.18%, 1.53%, and 2.17%, respectively, showing an increasing trend year by year (trend χ2=6.610, P=0.037). Statistical analysis showed that the independent risk factors for BSI after orthopedic surgery (P<0.05) included the trauma, length of hospital stay≥14 days, emergency surgery, postoperative leukocyte counting<4×109/L, level of hemoglobin≤90 g/L, albumin≤30 g/L, the time of indwelling ureter>24 hours, use of deep vein catheter insertion, and merging other site infection. Blood culture showed 56 strains (52.83%) of Gram-positive bacteria, 47 strains (44.34%) of Gram-negative bacteria, and 3 strains (2.83%) of fungi. The top three pathogenic bacteria were coagulase negative Staphylococci (CNS; 36 strains, 33.96%), Escherichia coli (16 strains, 15.09%), and Staphylococcus aureus (15 strains, 14.15%). The detection rates of extended-spectum β-lactamases producing strains of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were 56.25% (9/16) and 44.44% (4/9), respectively. The detection rates of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus and CNS were 46.67% (7/15) and 72.22% (26/36), respectively.ConclusionPostoperative BSI in orthopedic patients is caused by multiple factors. Preventive measures should be taken according to related risk factors and perioperative risk assessment should be strengthened. Staphylococcus and Escherichia coli are the most common pathogenic bacteria in BSI after orthopedic surgery. The infection rate and drug-resistant bacteria are increasing year by year. Therefore, drug resistance monitoring should be strengthened.
ObjectiveTo analyze the trend of hospital infection, so as to provide a scientific basis for hospital infection prevention and control. MethodsFrom 2011 to 2013, according to the criteria of diagnosis of nosocomial infections set up by the Ministry of Health, the prevalence rates of nosocomial infections in patients who were hospitalized on the survey day were investigated by the combination of bedside investigation and medical records checking. ResultsThe incidence rates of nosocomial infections from 2011 to 2013 were 2.99%, 2.31% and 1.95%, respectively, presenting a downward trend. The rate of hospital infection was the highest in comprehensive Intensive Care Unit, and the main infection site was the lower respiratory tract. Gram-negative bacteria were the main pathogens causing hospital infections, including Klebliella pnermoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter baumannii and Escherichia coli. The utilization rates of antibacterial agents in these three years were respectively 39.84%, 34.58% and 34.22%. ConclusionTargeted surveillance and management of key departments and sites should be strengthened. It is necessary to strengthen the surveillance and management of antibiotics, raise the submission rate of pathogens, and use antibiotics appropriately.
ObjectiveTo investigate the species and resistance phenotypes of the pathogens causing catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) in critically ill patients in West China Hospital of Sichuan University, and to provide the basis for the prevention and treatment of this kind of infection. MethodsThe clinical data and findings of the laboratory examination of the patients, who were admitted to intensive care units and suffered from CAUTI in our hospital during January 2012 to December 2014, were retrospectively analyzed. The pathogens isolates from the urine specimens of the patients with CAUTI and their resistance phenotypes were analyzed. ResultsThree hundred and seventy patients suffering from CAUTI were included in this study. Five hundred and seventeen strains of pathogens were isolated from the urine specimens of these patients, including 222 isolates (42.9%) of fungus, 181 isolates (35.0%) of gram negative bacteria, and 114 isolates (22.0%) of gram positive bacteria. In terms of species distribution, Candida albicans (105 isolates, 20.3%), C.glabrata (78 isolates, 15.1%) and C.glabrata (30 isolates, 5.8%) were the predominant fungus. Among the gram negative bacteria, Escherichia coli (81 isolates, 15.7%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (37 isolates, 7.2%), and Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-baumannii complex (23 isolates, 4.4%) were the main species. Enterococcus faecium (79 isolates, 15.3%) and E.faecalis (13 isolates, 2.5%) were the frequently isolated gram positive bacteria. Analysis of the resistance phenotype showed that the resistance rates to itraconazole, voriconazole and fluconazole of Candida spp. were above 10%. Thirty percent of the isolates of E.coli and K.pneumoniae, and 60% of the isolates of A.calcoaceticus-Baumannii complex were resistant to many of the regular antibiotics. Imipenem resistance rate of A.calcoaceticus-Baumannii complex was 60.8%. Sixty percent of the isolates of E.faecium and E.faecalis were resistant to many of the regular antibiotics. The vancomycin-resistant isolates accounted for 16.5% of E.faecium and 31.0% of E.faecalis. ConclusionCandida species are the major pathogens for CAUTI in critically ill patients in our hospital and show the resistance to azoles. We should focus on the drug resistance of gram negative bacteria and gram positive bacteria. The rational use of antibiotics and application of effective infection control measures are important to decrease the CAUTI.
