[Distribution of respiratory nosocomial infection pathogen on geriatric (correction of geratic) people with chronic diseases and its antibiotic resistance].
OBJECTIVE
To detect respiratory nosocomial infection pathogen on geriatric (corrected) people with chronic disease and its antibiotic resistance.


METHODS
Standard culture and antibiotic resistance method was used.


RESULTS
Two hundred and fifty strains of species germ which caused nosocomial infection were cultured in 202 geratic people with chronic diseases, of which 144 strains were gram-negative bacill (55%); 44 strains were gram-positive coccus (17%); and 62 strains were Yeastlike Fungi (28%). The ESBL positive rate for Escherichiacol and Klebsiella was 37.8% and 39.6%. MRS positive rate for staphylococcus was 67%. Vancomycin resistance in Enterococcus was 6%.


CONCLUSIONS
Geratic people with chronic disease are more easily to infect opportunistic pathogen and cause nosocomical infection. The more care we give for geratic people, the lower the nosocomial infection rate.
