dc.description.abstract Recent studies have shown that nosocomial infection is an important factor affecting the quality and service level of neurology. Based on the characteristics of neurology patients, the application of antibacterial drugs has certain particular characteristic. In this paper, we analyzed the distribution of pathogenic bacteria in neurology patients in 2016- 2017 year, and made statistics on the utilization of antibiotics. The results showed that 84 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated from the neurology department, including Gram-negative bacteria (44 strains, 52.38%), Gram-positive bacteria (31, 36.9%), and fungi (9, 10.71%). At the same time, as for the use of antibiotics, the drug category is most cephalosporins and the top 5 antiseptic drugs are cephalosporins, beta lactamase inhibitors, quinolones, aminosides and penicillins. The highest DUI (drug utilization index) value was for cefoperazone tazobactam (1.33), followed by ceftriaxone Mino (1.20) and ciprofloxacin (1.18). Clinicians should guide the selection of antimicrobial agents based on the results of etiological examination, and formulate a reasonable treatment plan based on the characteristics of patients, common pathogens and drug resistance. en_US
