Distribution and drug resistance of fungi causing urinary tract infections

OBJECTIVE To understand the fungal pathogen distribution and drug resistance of fungal infection in urinary tract infection,in order to provide evidence for reasonable selection of antibiotics.METHODS Totally 1513 samples of urine culture from Jan.2009 to Dec.2009 were retrospectively analyzed.RESULTS A total of 139 strains of fungi were isolated,accounted for 9.19%.Among which,C.tropicalis,Candida albicans and C.glabrata accounted for 73 strains(52.52%),38 strains(27.34%) and 13 strains(9.35%),respectively.All the fungal strains were sensitive to amphotericin B and 5-fluorocytosine,but the drug resistant rate to fluconazole,voriconazole and ITCaconazole were 36.69%,41.73%and 46.76%,respectively.CONCLUSION The isolated rate of C.tropicalis and the resistant rates to fluconazole,voriconazole and ITCaconazole are increasing year by year.Therefore,great attention should be aroused in the clinical doctors.
