[Analysis on the distribution and drug resistance features of anaerobes isolated from clinical infectious specimens].

Objective: To clarify distribution and drug resistance characteristics of anaerobes isolated from clinical infectious samples, and to provide experimental data for guiding on treatment of infections caused by anaerobes. Methods: The anaerobes, isolated from 1 057 different clinical specimens from inpatients admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from March 2016 to November 2017, were identified by VITEK-2 anaerobes and corynebacterium (ANC) card and bacteroides fragilis isolates were further verified by 16S-rRNA sequencing. Meanwhile, broth dilution method was employed to detect the drug sensititities of bacteroides fragilis and PCR method was used to detect the carbapenem resistance gene cfiA. Results: Totally 303 strains of anaerobic bacteria were isolated, among which 199 strains were gram-negative bacteria, accounted for 65.68%. Among the gram negative anaerobes, bacteroides species were the most common, accounted for 35.64%, followed by prevotella spp ., which accounted for 19.14%. B . fragilis were the most common among Bacteroides spp ., accounted for 21.54%, followed by Prevotella bivia, accounted for 5.94%. The coincidence rate of 16S-rRNA sequencing results of Bacteroides fragilis and that of ANC card identification results was 100% (65/65). The drug resistance of B . fragilis to penicillin, clidamycin, ampicillin/sulbactam, amoxicillin/clavulanic, were 100%, 90.77%, 56.92% and 66.67%, respectively. The resitance rate of B . fragilis to chloramphenicol was the lowest, which was 1.54%.Moreover, the resistance rate of B . fragilis to imipenem and metronidazole were both higher, which were 38.46%(25/65) and 23.08%(15/65), respectively, and the positive rate of beta lactamase was 100% (65/65). The carrying rate of carbapenems resistance gene cfiA for 65 strains of Bacteroides fragilis was 52.3% (34/65), and 72.00%(18/25)for imipenem resistant strains. Conclusions: The obligate anaerobic bacteria are widely distributed in clinical specimens, and the great majority are gram negative anaerobic bacteria, and the most frequently isolated one is Bacteroides fragilis . Bacteroides fragilis isolates are found to be resistant to several kinds of common antibiotics, especially for imipenem and metronidazole, which should be given more attention to.
