Abstract

|
|
Total 4023 blood specimens were cultured at Chonnam National University Hospital from 1982 to 1983.
The laboratory data of blood cultures were analyzed to determine the trends of bacteria isolation and antibiotic sensitivity in Chonnam area.
The results were as follows:
1. Positive blood culture was shown in 11.3% of total cases. The most frequent organisms were Gram negative bacilli in the 456 positive cultures. Frequently isolated bacteria were Sal. Typhoo in the Gram negative bacilli, and S. aurous in the Gram positive cocci.
2. Polymicrobial infections were observed in 2.02% of patients with positive cultures. Double isolates from the same specimen were composed of S. aurous and E. coli. Others were Klebsiella pneumonia, Proteus species, Citrobacter and Streptococcus.
3. The most frequently isolated bacteria from the infant´ were Klebsiella pneumonia and S. aurous. Salmonella Typhoo and E. coli were most frequently isolated from patient of 2-9 age groups, 20^29 age groups and older than 60 years, respectively.
4. The incidence of bacteria isolation was highest in the spring and summer, but Salmonella Typhoo was isolated most frequently from June to July and from December to January.
5. Salmonella Typhoo and Salmonella group A were highly sensitive to commonly used antibiotics. S. aurous was very sensitive to cephalothin, erythromycin, methicillin, chloramphenicol, olendramycin. E. coli showed high sensitivity to gentamycin, amikacin and tobramycin. Many isolates of Klebsiella pneumonia were resistant to antibiotics.
