Analysis of drug resistance tendency of Acinetobacter baumannii in Meizhou area during 2008-2012

This paper aims to analyze the detection rate and drug resistance tendency of Acinetobacter baumannii in Meizhou area during 2008-2012 in order to provide the guidance for clinicians' medication. The detection rate and drug resistant rate of A. baumanii in the clinical specimens submitted from 5 hospitals in Meizhou during 2008-2012 were retrospectively analyzed. The antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed by the disk diffusion method. The drug resistance rate of A. baumanii is gradually increased. The drug resistance monitoring of A. baumanii in ICU should be strengthened. Antimicrobial agents should be reasonably used for maximizing to retard the emergence of drug resistant strains.
