Abstract：Objective To approach drug-resistance status of clinically isolated Gram-positive cocci in Shanxi Eye Hospital and to provide the evidence for clinically reasonable use of antibiotics.Methods A total of 531 strains of Gram-positive cocci were isolated from all kinds of eye specimens from Mar 2009 to May 2011 in Shanxi Eye Hospital.Organisms were cultivated and identified according to National Clinical Laboratory Operation Rule.The drug sensitivity testing was performed by MIC methods.Results Among the 531 strains,the isolating rate of Staphylococcus epidermidis ranked the first(488 strains).The detection rate of meticillin-resistant Staphyloccus epidermidis (MRSE)was 70.51％ (344 strains).The Gram-positive cocci were resistant to the commonly used antibiotics in different degrees except a 100％ sensitivity to Vancomycin,Teicoplanin,Linezolid,and Quinupristin/Dalfopristin.Conclusion We should strengthen the management of nosocomial infections to prevent the dissemination and epidemic of drug-resistant strains.
