Objective To analyze the antimicrobial resistance and the profile of pathogens from lower respiratory tract infections in pediatric in patients. Methods Sputum bacterial isolates were identified by an automated biochemical identification system. Antimicrobial resistance was detected by an automated drug susceptibility detection system and the disc diffusion method. The β-lactamases was tested by the nitrocefin disc detection method. Results Five hundred and eighteen bacterial pathogens were isolated from sputum samples during 2011-2015, including streptococcus pneumoniae(21.62%), staphylococcus aureus(16.99%), haemophillus influenzae(14.48%), klebsiella pneumoniae(11.97%), escherichia coli(8.11%), moraxelle catarrhalis(3.8%), acinetobacter baumanii(3.86%) and pseudomonas aeruginosa(3.86%). High resistant rates were detected for S. pneumoniae to clindamycin(90.18%), erythromycin(92.86%) and sulfamethoxazole (85.50%), while S. aureus was highly resistant to penicillin G(90.91%) and erythromycin(68.18%). Resistance to vancomycin and linezolid was not detected for gram positive cocci. The resistant rate to ampicillin was 32% for H. influenzae, which was in concordance with the production of β-lactamases. Relatively high resistance was detected for K. pneumoniae and E. coli to cephalosporins and quinolones. A carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae isolate was also detected. Conclusion Multiple bacterial species were isolated from lower respiratory tract infections in our hospital, including different species of gram positive cocci and gram negative bacilli, and these isolates exhibited high resistance to antibiotics tested. The clinical use of antibiotics and hospital infection and transmission of these pathogens should be controlled.
