Abstract:

Objective To analyze the distribution and drug resistance of fungemia pathogen from 2014 to 2020 in Tianjin Medical University General Hospital,and to provide a reference for clinical diagnosis and antibiotic usage of fungemia. Methods The clinical data of fungemia patients from 2014 to 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. The distribution and antimicrobial sensitivity results were analyzed statistically by WHONET 5.6 software. Results A total of 401 isolates of yeast-like fungi were isolated from blood culture during the 7 years,and the main isolates were Candida parapsilosis(199 isolates,49.63%),Candida albicans(62 isolates,15.46%),Candida tropicalis(37 isolates,9.23%) and Candida glabrata(37 isolates,9.23%). The majority of fungemia patients were males(63.34%)and were aged ≥65-year-old(56.11%). All the isolates were highly sensitive to 5-flucytosine and amphotericin B,and different genera presented various degrees of resistance to azoles. Conclusions Candida parapsilosis is the most common pathogen of fungemia in Tianjin Medical University General Hospital. The sensitivity rates of Candida glabrata,Candida tropicalis and Rhodotorula to azoles are relatively low. Analyzing the distribution and drug resistance of fungemia pathogen is of significance in the diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of patients with fungemia.
