Objective To investigate the effect of multidrug resistant (MDR) bacterial infection in clinical course of acute pancreatitis. Methods The medical records of 134 patients with a diagnosis of infected pancreatic necrosis in West China Hospital from Jan. 2003 to Jun. 2010 were reviewed. Results MDR microorganisms were found in 78 of the 134 patients. MDR group had higher rate of transferred patients than non-MDR group (38.5% vs. 10.7%, P=0.002). The intensive care unit admission rate was significantly higher in patients with MDR bacterial infections (48.7% vs. 26.8%, P=0.01). The mean intensive care unit stay was significantly longer in patients with MDR bacterial infections (20 days vs. 3 days, P<0.001). Mortality and total hospital stay was not significantly different in the patients with MDR infections vs. those without it (20.5% vs. 14.3%, P>0.05; 78 d vs. 55 d, P>0.05). Conclusion Clinicians should be aware of the high incidence and impact of MDR infections in patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis, especially in transferred patients.
