Pathogens and Antibiotic Resistance of Lsolates from Newborn Septicemia Biood Cultures
Abstract: Objective To understand the distribution of pathogens causing newborn septicemia and their antibiotic resistance .Methods The positive in blood culture of newborn in our hospital between January,2001 and January,2006 were analyzed.Results Among 251 positive in blood culture,positiveratio of Staphylococcus epidermidis and S.aureus were 31.5% and 16.7%,respectively.Furthermore,they were multiresistant.The ratio of meticillinresistant S.epidermidis and S.aureus were 87.5%and 62.6%,respectively,but all were sensitive to vancomycin.Among gramnegative bacteria,Escherichia coli was in the first place,the second one was klebsiella pneumonniae,the other were Enterobacter,proteus vulgaris .The better antibiotics for them were amikacin,ciprofloxacin,and ofloxacin.Conclusion Staphylococcus spp is one of the main pathogens causing newborn septicemia, The identification of bacteria and drug sensitive test were helpful to clinical therapy.
