Clinical analysis of distribution and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria in blood culture of Dalian Municipal Central Hospital from 2015 to 2019

Abstract

Objectives: To analyze the distribution of common pathogenic bacteria and pattern of drug resistance in the blood culture of inpatients.
 Methods: This was a descriptive study. Blood culture data of inpatients of Dalian Municipal Central Hospital from January 2017 to December 2020 were collected from microbiology laboratory for retrospective analysis.
 Results: A total of 24,786 specimens were submitted for examination from inpatients from 2015 to 2019, and 2131 strains of clinically non-repetitive pathogenic bacteria were identified. There were 1135 G-positive cocci (53.26%), including 248 strains of Staphylococcus hominis (21.85%) and 68 strains of Streptococcus species (5.99%). Other G-positive cocci 8 strains (0.70%). G-positive cocci were most sensitive to datomycin, linezolid and vancomycin. There were 923 G-negative bacilli (43.31%), including 476 strains (51.57%) of Escherichia coli, 244 strains (26.44%) of Klebsiella pneumoniae and 130 strains (14.08%) of Acinetobacter baumannii. G-negative bacilli were most sensitive to amikacin. Most of the blood specimens were obtained from the ICU patients (42.98%) followed by nephrology (8.68%) and respiratory medicine (7.32%).
 Conclusion: G-positive bacteria were mainly detected in the positive blood culture samples of inpatients in this hospital. Daptomycin, linezolid and vancomycin were preferred for G-positive cocci, while amikacin was highly sensitive to G-negative bacilli.

Distribution and Antibiotic Resistance Analysis of Blood Culture Pathogens in a Tertiary Care Hospital in China in the Past Four Years

“…These studies consistently identified Gram-positive bacteria as the prevailing culprits responsible for BSI. 5 , 23 , 24 According to the findings of this investigation, E. coli (44.8%) emerged as the predominant causative agent, followed closely by K. pneumoniae (17.5%, 639/3660) and S. aureus (9.2%). This discovery aligns with previous reports from diverse countries and regions.…”

“… 3 The pathogenic spectrum and pattern of antibiotic resistance of BSI vary among affected regions due to distinct epidemiological and geographic factors. 4 , 5 Monitoring data from Dalian, China, from 2015 to 2019 showed that Gram-positive cocci were the most prevalent BSI pathogens in blood cultures. 6 In contrast, antibiotic resistance surveillance data from Korea and Europe revealed that E. coli and S. aureus were the most common pathogens of, BSI.…”

Distribution of Pathogenic Bacteria and their Antimicrobial Drug Resistance in the Blood of Patients with HIV/AIDS at a Tertiary Hospital in Hangzhou: An Eight-Year Retrospective Study

“…The 4th edition of the "National Guide to Clinical Laboratory Procedures" was followed strictly during all operations, and the M100-S31 document of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) was used to judge the results. 9 2.5.3 Quality control Zhengzhou Biocell Biotechnology Liability Company provided the VITEK 2 Compact automatic microbial analysis system, the BacT/ALERT 3D 480 automatic blood culture instrument ((bioMérieux), blood culture bottles, blood agar plates, and MacConkey agar plates. Before the tests, quality control strains (Escherichia coli (ATCC ® 25922), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC ® 27853), and S. aureus (ATCC ® 25923), provided by the Clinical Laboratory Centre of the Ministry of Health of China, were used to test the sterility and performance of the culture media and the quality of the antimicrobial disks.…”
