Data were processed via WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 21.0.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n A total of 1,151 strains were isolated, including 878 Gram-negative strains (76.3%, mainly\n Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic>\n 34.9% and\n Klebsiella pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>\n 22.2%) and 273 Gram-positive strains (23.7%, predominantly\n Enterococcus faecium<\/jats:italic>\n 15.6%).\n Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic>\n showed low resistance to cefoperazone\/sulbactam, amikacin, tigecycline and carbapenems (resistance rate &lt; 5%).\n Klebsiella pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>\n showed low resistance only to tigecycline (resistance rate 0%), while\n Enterococcus faecium<\/jats:italic>\n showed low resistance to quinupristin\/dalfopristin, linezolid, high concentrations of Streptomycin, high concentrations of Gentamicin, tigecycline and vancomycin (resistance rate &lt; 5%). Additionally,\n Klebsiella pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>\n resistance rates to multiple antimicrobials were significantly higher in male patients than in females (all\n p<\/jats:italic>\n &lt;\u202f0.05).
