Abstract:〔Abstract〕 Objective To analyze the risk factors and drug resistance of pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) infection in patients with bronchiectasis. Methods A total of 536 patients with bronchiectasis admitted to the First Dongguan Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University from January 2020 to June 2023 were selected as the study subjects. All patients underwent sputum or alveolar lavage fluid culture. Based on the culture results, the patients were divided into PA infected and non infected groups. The relevant data of the two groups were compared to analyze the risk factors of PA infection group in bronchiectasis patient. Afterwards, the drug resistance of PA was analyzed. Results Among the 536 patients with bronchiectasis, 86 cases were PA positive, accounting for 16.04% (86/536). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that disease course ≥ 12 months, imaging cystic columnar appearance, number of acute exacerbations ≥ 2, and number of hospital admissions ≥ 2 within 1 year were independent risk factors for PA infection in patients with bronchiectasis (OR ≥ 1, P < 0.05). PA showed extremely high resistance rates to cefotaxime (100.00%) and tetracycline (97.67%), followed by moxifloxacin (40.70%), and low resistance to piperacillin/tazobactam (3.49%) and cefoperazone/sulbactam (8.14%). Conclusion Patients with bronchiectasis have a higher infection rate of PA, with a course of ≥ 12 months, cystic columnar imaging, ≥ 2 acute exacerbations, and ≥ 2 hospital admissions within a year as independent risk factors. PA is naturally resistant to cefotaxime and tetracycline, and targeted prevention and treatment measures should be developed in clinical practice to improve patient prognosis.
