Abstract:

Objective To analyze the drug resistance of Escherichia coli isolated from urinary tract infection in elder patients, in order to give a reference for the reasonable selection of antibiotics in clinical treatment.Methods From August 2011 to July 2014, a retrospective analysis was undergone regarding the drug resistance of Escherichia coli isolated from urinary tract infection in 837 elder inpatients (above 60 years old). A total of 17 kinds of antibiotics were determined singly or combinedly for their antimicrobial susceptibility. The drug resistance was analyzed according to the standard of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) issued in 2010. WHONET 5.4 software was used in datum analysis. Results Escherichia coli was 100.0% sensitive to imipenem and meropenem. A significant sensitivity was observed for amikacin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and piperacillin-clavulanic acid (drug resistance rate<17.0%), whereas a considerable sensitivity was observed for cefoxitin and netilmicin (drug resistance rate was 30.0%). Less sensitivity was found for gentamicin, tobramycin, compound sulfamethoxazole, ticarcillin-clavulanic acid and the 2nd to 4th generations of cephalosporin antibiotics (drug resistance rate>49.0%). Penicillins, the 1st generation of cephalosporin and ciprofloxacin were almost inactive to Escherichia coli (drug resistance rate>83.0%). Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs)-producing isolates were found with increasing trend regarding 3 statistical years, but there was no statistical significance (P>0.05). Conclusions Escherichia coli displays different levels of drug resistance to different antibiotics. It may hold as a basis in the individual clinical treatment to patients.
