Objective: To determine the risk factors for respiratory intensive care unit (RICU)-acquired colonization of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDR-AB).
Methods: From January 2010 to June 2011, active screening was performed to define patients with RICU-acquired colonization of MDR-AB. And environment surveillance was carried out and patient data were collected.
Objective: To explore the clinical factors, drug resistance and molecular epidemiology homologous characteristics of pan-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (PDRAB) in acquired infections and analyze the correlation factor between epidemic characteristics and acquired infections.
Methods: A total of 60 PDRAB strains from nine acquired infections and related clinic data were collected from January 2009 to January 2011. The drug-resistant phenotype was tested by disk diffusion methods.
Objective: To evaluate the performance of locked nucleic acid (LNA) probe Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the detection of Aspergillus fumigatus (A. fumigatus).
Methods: All clinically cultured isolates of Aspergillus at our hospital were identified by morphology and DNA sequencing assay.
