Analysis of hospital departmental distribution and antibiotic susceptibility of Acinetobacter isolated from sputum samples.

Weidong Zheng1, Shiwei Yuan, Lian Li.   

Abstract

The current study investigated Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from sputum specimens. Compared with previous studies, we found that A baumannii was drug resistant to 14 common antibiotics listed in Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute guidelines (mean drug resistance rate: 80.9%) and was only sensitive to cefoperazone/sulbactam (sensitivity rate: 65.5%). With growing abuse of antibiotics, multidrug-resistant and pandrug-resistant strains of A baumannii have increased steadily and become a leading cause of hospital infections.
