Objective To investigate the distribution and antibiotic resistance of pathogens isolated from children with primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) complicated with urinary tract infection (UTI), so as to provide references for reasonable use of anti-infective agents in clinical practice. Methods A total of 218 eligible patients who hospitalized in our department between January 2009 and December 2012 were included, and the data of distribution and antibiotic resistance of pathogens were analyzed retrospectively. Results In this cohort, asymptomatic UTI in children with PNS accounted for 75.7% (165/218). And a total of 249 pathogenic strains were isolated and cultivated. The main pathogens of those subjects were G- bacilli, accounting for 64.3% (160/249), and 63.8% (102/160) of G- bacilli was Escherichia coli (E.coli); G+ cocci accounted for 31.7% (79/249), and 59.5% (47/79) of them was Enterococci faecalis; and fungi accounted for only 4.0%. Drug-susceptibility testing suggested that E.coli had a high resistance rate to hydroxyl ampicillin, cefazolin and ceftriaxone (>50%), but had lower resistance rate to cefoperazone/sulbactam and imipenem (<10%). Enterococci faecalis had a high resistance rate to rifampicin (74.6%), but had low resistance to vancomycin and linezolid (<10%). Conclusion Asymptomatic UTI is common in children with PNS. E.coli is the major pathogen and the proportion of enterococcus infection is also not low, and these pathogens have a high antibiotic resistance and most of them are multi-resistant.
