چکیده
Objective: To analyse the risk factors of drug-resistant bacterial pneumonia in elderly inpatients in Shandong Province. Methods: From January 2014 to December 2016, 10 cities and counties were randomly selected in Shandong Province, three medical institutions were also selected in each city or county, 200 cases of elderly patients with bacterial pneumonia were recruited as research objects in each of the medical institutions based on the random principle. They were receiving sputum culture and smear examination, analysis of bacterial pathogens characteristics and drug resistance related risk factors. Results: A total of 6000 subjects were studied. The result of sputum culture and susceptibility test showed that 11352 bacterial strains were isolated, among which Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Bowman had the largest number and the most serious drug resistance. Conclusion: Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Acinetobacter baumannii are the main pathogens in elderly patients with bacterial pneumonia in Shandong Province, and the serious drug resistance also needs attention.

Background: Patient immune status might be indicative of the variance in bacterial genetics in drug-resistant tuberculous pleuritis and could be used for predicting the risk of multi-drug resistant tuberculous pleuritis (MDR-TB). Objective: To determine the significance of Th2/Th1 ratio and concentration of PD-L1 in the pleural effusions for prediction of MDR-T...

The efficacy of antiretroviral drugs is limited by the development of drug resistance. Therefore, it is important to examine HIV drug resistance following the nationwide implementation of drug resistance testing in China since 2009. We conducted drug resistance testing in patients who were already on or new to HIV antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Shandong Province, China, from 2011 to 2013, and ...

The intuition that population density increases the propensity of an epidemic to spread in cities is correct in the sense that increased density likely leads to an increase in the contact rate of an individual, which makes the reproduction number larger and leads to larger infectious disease outbreaks in dense areas. A wealth of research already suggests that smoking suppresses immune function ...
