Latest ArticlesObjective To clarify the detection status and antimicrobial sensitivity of clinically isolated Pseudomonas aeruginosa, assist clinical doctors in using antibiotics based on evidence, delay the rate of bacterial resistance, and intervene purposefully in hospital acquired infections. Methods Pseudomonas aeruginosa cultured, isolated, and identified from clinical samples submitted by our company from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 were collected. According to the latest standard CLSI-M100-ED33, the bacteria were identified using a time-of-flight mass spectrometer, and a fully automated identification and drug susceptibility analysis system was used for drug susceptibility testing. Results Pseudomonas aeruginosa was mainly isolated from elderly men over 60 years old. Sputum was the main source of infection specimens of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The infected patients were mainly distributed in respiratory and internal medicine departments. The isolated Pseudomonas aeruginosa had high resistance to antibiotics such as amtraxam and ciprofloxacin, and high sensitivity to amikacin and tobramycin, and the overall antibiotic resistance showed a downward trend. Conclusion Strict detection of bacterial resistance and drug resistance genes should be carried out in clinical medicine, so that antibiotics can be used more rationally.

Objective To establish a rapid, accurate and sensitive gaschromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method for the detection ofdichloroacetic acid (DCA) and trichloroacetic acid (TCA) in drinkingwater samples, and to evaluate the performance and practical applicationof the method. Methods The samples were pretreated by liquid-liquidextraction derivatization technology and then analyzed by GC-MS. ${50\mu }\mathrm{L}$ and ${100\mu }\mathrm{L}$ of DCA and TCAstandards were prepared into mother solutions with concentrations of ${5\mu }\mathrm{g}/\mathrm{{mL}}$ and ${10\mu }\mathrm{g}/\mathrm{{mL}}$ ,respectively, and then diluted with methanol to form a series ofstandard solutions with concentration gradients for the establishment ofstandard curves. 1,2-Dibromopropane was used as the internal standardsubstance to prepare an internal standard extract of ${166.1\mu }\mathrm{g}/\mathrm{L}$ tocorrect the error in the sample analysis process. The spike recoveryexperiment was carried out on ultrapure water to evaluate the accuracyand precision of the method, and the detection limit of the method wasdetermined by the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) method. Finally, 103drinking water samples were tested to analyze the contents of DCA andTCA. Results The linear ranges of the standard curves were $1 \sim {20}\mathrm{{\mug}}/\mathrm{{mL}}$ for DCA and $1\sim {40}\mathrm{{\mu g}}/\mathrm{{mL}}$ for TCA, withcorrelation coefficients $\left({r}^{2}\right)$ greater than 0.99,recoveries of 99.4%~114.3%, RSDs less than 3.541%, and detection limitsof ${0.1\mu }\mathrm{g}/\mathrm{L}$ and ${0.2\mu }\mathrm{g}/\mathrm{L}$ for DCA and TCA, respectively. The contents of DCA and TCA in 103drinking water samples were lower than the national standard limits,with average concentrations of ${0.25\mu}\mathrm{g}/\mathrm{L}$ and ${0.48\mu}\mathrm{g}/\mathrm{L}$ , respectively, and the data werestatistically significant $\left({P<{0.05}}\right)$ . Conclusion The GC-MS method has good linearity, accuracy, precision and sensitivity, and can meet the needs of drinking water safety monitoring. The method was applied to 103 drinking water samples, and the results showed that the drinking water quality met the national standards and was not seriously contaminated by DCA and TCA.
Objective To compare the diagnostic value and healtheconomic value of rapid detection of mycobacterium tuberculosis andrifampicin resistance (XpertMTB/RIF), mycobacterium nucleic acidPCR-fluorescent probe detection (MTB-NTM-PCR) and RNA isothermalamplification real-time fluorescence detection (SAT-TB) in detectingbronchial alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in smear-negative pulmonarytuberculosis Be worth. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on100 patients with clinically diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis butnegative sputum smears admitted to Guiyang Public Health TreatmentCenter from January 2019 to July 2022. All patients had negative sputumsmears for three consecutive times and underwent fiberoptic bronchoscopyin the fiberoptic bronchoscopy room of our hospital.
