Objective  To probe the distribution and drug resistance of pathogens causing surgical site infection in patients after gynecologic operation, and provide reference for prevention and treatment. Methods  Seventy patients with incision infection after gynecologic operation in West China Second University Hospital of Sichuan University from January 2010 to May 2015 were selected. Species of the pathogens from the submitted specimens and the results of the drug susceptibility testing were analyzed. Results  Seventy-two strains of pathogens were isolated, including 36 strains (50.0%) of Gram-negative (G) bacteria and 36 strains (50.0%) of Gram-positive (G+) bacteria. The main G bacteria were Escherichia coli (36.1%) and Enterobacter cloacae (5.6%); the main G+ bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus (18.1%), Staphylococcus epidermidis (12.5%), and Enterococcus faecalis (8.3%). Escherichia coli showed low sensitivities to ampicillin, ceftriaxone, and gentamicin, with resistance rates of 76.9%, 61.5%, and 61.5%, respectively. Staphylococcus aureus showed low sensitivities to penicillin G, clindamycin, and erythromycin, with resistance rates of 92.3%, 69.2%, and 61.5%, respectively. Staphylococcus epidermidis showed low sensitivities to erythromycin, penicillin G, and ciprofloxacin, with resistance rates of 88.9%, 77.8%, and 77.8%, respectively. No carbapenem-resistant G bacteria or vancomycin-resistant G+ bacteria were detected. Conclusion  Postoperative surgical site infection is the most common nosocomial infection. The main bacteria related to postoperative incision infection in the gynecology department of the hospital are Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Enterococcus faecalis, which become resistant to common antibiotics currently. Therefore more attention should be paid to bacterial isolation and drug susceptibility test results for rational use of antimicrobial drugs and effectiveness of the treatment to nosocomial infection.
