Objective To study the clinical distribution and the change of drug resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii from different inpatient specimens sources during 2008 to 2012, and to provide guidance for rational use of antibiotics. Methods The identification of Acinetobacter baumannii was conducted by VITEK-2 based on clinical and laboratory standards institute (CLSI) guideline between January 2008 and December 2012. The susceptibility of antibiotics was determined by K-B test, and data analysis was conducted by Excel and SAS. Results A total of 3 139 stains of Acinetobacter baumannii were isolated from 2013 patients during this period. The Acinetobacter baumannii was mainly obtained from the Burn ward, Intensive Care Unit ward and Thoracic ward. Sputum was the most specimens of Acinetobacter baumannii, accounting for 48.4%. The drug resistance rates of Acinetobacter baumannii to most of the antimicrobial agents were more than 55%. Compound antibacterial is more effective than the single drug ingredient. Compared with other antimicrobial agents, β-lactams/β-lactamase inhibitor compound and carbapenems antimicrobial agents were more sensitive. Conclusion The drug resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii is serious and has differences among hospitals. Clinicians should monitor the drug resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii timely and choose proper antibiotics according to the results of drug sensitivity.
