Drug resistance and influencing factors of biofilm bacteria in upper urinary calculi patients with double J stent indwelling

Objective To analyze the distribution and drug resistance of biofilm bacteria infected with upper urinary calculi patients with double J stent indwelling, and to explore the influencing factors of Biofilm Bacteria Infections. Methods A total of 400 patients with upper urinary calculi who adopted double J stent inserting in our hospital from January 2019 to January 2022 were included. Urine and double J stent samples were collected, pathogen cultures were performed, and then drug sensitivity test analysis was carried out for isolates. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyzes were used to analyze the influencing factors of patients with double J stent associated biofilm bacteria infections. Results A total of 13 strains (3.2%) of biofilm bacteria were detected in urine samples and 168 strains (42%) in double J stent samples (P < 0.05), 95 strains (23.7%) of pathogenic bacteria were separated from urine samples and 117 strains (29.2%) from double J-stent samples (P > 0.05). Escherichia coli were the most common bacteria. There was significantly higher drug resistance observed in biofilm bacteria versus urine-cultured pathogens (P < 0.05). Advanced age, long-term catheterization, inadequate water intake, hypoproteinemia, abnormal renal function, and diabetes mellitus were independent risk factors for biofilm bacteria infection associated with double J stent(P < 0.05). Conclusion Among the upper urinary calculi patients with double J stent indwelling, the positive rate and drug resistance of biofilm bacteria obtained from double J stent were significantly higher than that from urine. More attention should be paid to the factors that influence biofilm bacteria infections.
