Article Synopsis
  • A multicenter study in Japan analyzed bacterial infections in general surgery from April 2004 to March 2005, identifying 645 strains from 286 patients with surgical infections, including both primary and postoperative cases.
  • Anaerobic Gram-positive bacteria were more common in primary infections, while aerobic Gram-positive bacteria dominated postoperative infections, with notable strains such as Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus spp. being prevalent.
  • Resistance patterns were observed, including some strains of MRSA showing moderate resistance to arbekacin, and 13.3% of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were carbapenem-resistant; however, no vancomycin-resistant Gram-positive cocci were detected.

Tendency of isolated bacteria from infections in general surgery and their antimicrobial susceptibilities during the period from April 2000 to March 2001 were investigated in a multicenter study in Japan, and the following results were obtained. The number of cases investigated as objectives was 234 for one year. A total of 388 strains (136 strains from primary infections and 252 strains from postoperative infections) were isolated from 165 cases (70.

The annual multicenter studies on isolated bacteria from infections in general surgery and their antimicrobial susceptibility have been conducted in Japan since July 1982. In this paper, the results obtained in the academic year 1999 (from April 1999 to March 2000) have been summarized. Two hundred seven cases were investigated, and 411 strains were isolated from 169 cases (81.
