Abstract:

Objective To study the pathogenic bacteria resistance in patients with bloodstream infections in intensive care unit(ICU), to analyze the prognostic factors for bloodstream infection, and to provide references for early antibacterial treatment. Methods Retrospective research method was used to count the clinical data of patients diagnosed with bloodstream infection in the Department of ICU of Chui Yang Liu Hospital Affiliated to Tsinghua University from January 2014 to December 2020, and the constitute and resistance of blood culture-positive pathogens were analyzed. The patients were divided into survival and non-survival groups according to the survival and death during the hospitalization period. The gender, age, hospital infection, underlying disease, time-to-positivity of blood culture, occurrence time of bloodstream infection, etc. were collected. Factors in which the differences were statistically significant in univariate analysis were included in Logistic regression analysis to further analyze the factors affecting patients' prognosis. Results There were 80 cases of bloodstream infection patients with complete case data, and a total of 84 strains of pathogens were isolated. Pathogens of bloodstream infections were coagulase-negative staphylococci, staphylococcus aureus, escherichia coli, acinetobacter, and klebsiella pneumoniae in turn. Pathogens with the percent of 67.86% are multi-drug resistant strains. No gram-positive strains resistant to vancomycin, linezolid and teicoplanin were found. ESBLs-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli had high resistance rates to cefotaxime, cefepime, aztreonam, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, tetracycline, and chloramphenicol. Univariate analysis showed that two pathogenic bacteria simultaneously growing in the blood culture were related to the prognosis of bloodstream infection(P<0.05), and no risk factor related to the prognosis of bloodstream infection was found in multivariate logistic regression analysis.Conclusion The distribution of bloodstream infection pathogens varies greatly in different regions and hospitals. Main pathogens of bloodstream infections in the Department of ICU in this hospital are dominated by Gram-positive bacteria, and its mainly composed methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus. The condition of severely ill patients with bloodstream infection is complex, there are many factors influencing the prognosis, great samples and multicenter studies are required.
