Abstract: AIM: To investigate the distribution and the correlation between the intensity of piperacillin-tazobactam application and drug resistance of clinical isolates from intensive care unit in hospital from 2008 to 2012.METHODS: Epidemiology, drug resistance and the intensity of piperacillin-tazobactam were studied from clinical laboratory and information centre retrospectively, and the correlation of drug resistance and the intensity of piperacillin-tazobactam was analyzed using SPSS software.RESULTS: The number of isolates was increased every year form 2008 to 2012. The proportion Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria had not changed significantly during the 5 years. Non-fermenting bacteria still accounted for the largest proportion. The proportion of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae had increased respectively, while the proportion of Acinetobacter baumannii and Staphylococcus aureus had decreased oppositely. The drug resistance rates of MASR were 96.2%, 82.5%, 79.6%, 74.7% and 78.1% respectively ,trending downward, from 2008 to 2012, and Staphylococcus aureus resisting to vancomycin and linezolid had not isolated. The resistance rate of Escherichia coli , Klebsiella pneumonia and Acinetobacter baumannii was related with the application density of piperacillin-tazobactam(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: The situation of bacterial high resistance and the high density of antimicrobial drug application is serious, and we should keep continuously close surveillance foe the changes of bacterial resistance in ICU and control the use of antibiotics.

Key words: ICU bacterial resistance, piperacillin-tazobactam, antibiotics use density, correlation
