Abstract: Objective To provide evidences for clinical rational use and scientific management of the anti-infection drugs through investigating the application status of the anti-infection drugs in our hospital. Methods Utilization of anti-infection drugs was analyzed by the index of DDD,DDDs and DDC. Results Cephalosporins,quinolones,macrolides ranked the top three on the consumption sum list of the anti-infection drugs between 2007 and 2009.Cefaclor,cefuroxime,cefalexin,cefoperazone/sulbactam,levofloxacin,roxithromycin,azithromycin and clarithromycin ranked the front rows on the consumption sum list.The most anti-infection drugs used in our hospital were the fist line drugs with certain effect,convenience for application,fewer adverse effect and cheaper price,moreover,mainly for oral administration.Resistance rates of common pathogenic bacteria were relatively high,especially to levofloxacin which had the highest rate of 77.8%. Conclusion The utilization of anti-infection drugs in our hospital was unreasonable in some respects.The application administration of anti-infection drugs still should be strengthened.
