Abstract:

Objective To investigate the clinical infection characteristics,drug susceptibility and drug resistance genotypes of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae(CRE) in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University,and to provide a reference for the prevention and treatment of CRE infection and the management of multi-drug resistant bacteria. Methods Totally,93 isolates of CRE were collected,bacterial identification and drug susceptibility tests were carried out by VITEK2 Compact automatic microbial identification and drug susceptibility system,and the isolates were confirmed by automatic rapid microbial mass spectrometry. Carbapenemase was confirmed by simplified carbapenem inactivation method(sCIM) phenotype confirmation test. Carbapenemase models were determined and identified by Xpert Carba-R. Carbapenemase resistance gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and sequenced. Results CRE isolates were mainly isolated from sputum,blood and urine samples. CRE isolates were mainly distributed in intensive care unit. CRE isolates were resistant to 24 commonly used antibiotics and sensitive to tigecycline. Totally,79 isolates were positive for carbapenemase phenotype by sCIM phenotype confirmation test. Xpert Carba-R showed that there were 38 isolates of KPC gene positive,31 isolates of NDM gene positive,6 isolates of IMP gene positive and 4 isolates of NDM+KPC gene positive. A total of 38 isolates carrying KPC resistance genes,31 isolates carrying NDM resistance genes,6 isolates carrying IMP resistance genes and 4 isolates carrying KPC + NDM resistance genes. VIM and OXA-48 resistance genes were not determined. Conclusions CRE in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University is resistant to many commonly used antibiotics,but it has good drug susceptibility to tigecycline in vitro. The carbapenem-resistant gene of Klebsiella pneumoniae is mainly KPC type,and that of Escherichia coli is mainly NDM type. The surveillance should be strengthened to prevent its outbreak and nosocomial epidemic.
