1998-1999년에 임상 검체로부터 분리된 주요 세균의 항생제 내성 = Antimicrobial resistance of bacteria isolated from clinical specimens(1998-1999)

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Surveillance of antimicrobial resistance can provide information needs for empirical therapy of antimicrobial agents and for control of resistance. To determine the trend of antimicrobial resistance in Soonchunhyang Chunan Hospital, we analyzed in vitro susceptibility and identification data in 1998 and 1999. The results showed that cefoxitin-resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae and 3rd-generation cephalosporin-resistant K. pneumoniae, Enterobacter cloacae, and Serratia marcescens were prevalent, that fluoroquinolone-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii had increased, and imipenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa were prevalent. Oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and penicillin-resistant pneumococci were prevalent. An increase of imipenem-resistant P. aeruginosa and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium is a new obvious threat. To prevent the spread of multi-resistant bacteria and the emergence of new resistance, continuous monitoring of antimicrobial resistance, appropriate use of antibiotics, and control of nosocomial infection are necessary.
