Popis: The aim of this study was to analyze the distribution of pathogenic bacteria in hospitalized patients in elderly care centers under the mode of integration of medical care and elderly care service, and explore the influencing factors to reduce the health care-associated infection rate of hospitalized patients.A total of 2597 inpatients admitted to elderly care centers from April 2018 to December 2019 were included in the study. The etiology characteristics of health care-associated infections (HCAI) was statistically analyzed, univariate analysis, and multivariate logistic regression analysis method were used to analyze the influencing factors of HCAI.A total of 98 of 2597 inpatients in the elderly care centers had HCAI, and the infection rate was 3.77%. The infection sites were mainly in the lower respiratory tract and urinary tract, accounting for 53.92% and 18.63%, respectively. A total of 53 pathogenic bacteria were isolated, 43 of which (81.13%) were Gram-negative, mainly Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumoniae, which respectively accounted for 24.53, 16.98, and 13.21%. 9 (16.98%) strains were Gram-positive, mainly Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecium, respectively accounting for 7.55 and 5.66%. Only 1 patient (1.89%) had a fungal infection. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that total hospitalization days, antibiotic agents used, days of central line catheter, use of urinary catheter and diabetes were independent risk factors of nosocomial infection in elderly care centers (P
