Abstract:

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and drug resistance genes of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP) isolated from blood culturing,and to provide a reference for clinical antibiotic usage. Methods Totally,153 CRKP isolates from blood culturing in Xinhua Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from 2010 to 2019 were collected. Multilocus sequence typing(MLST) was carried out in the 153 CRKP isolates. The drug resistance genes of carbapenemase were determined. The clinical data were collected,and the clinical characteristics of CRKP were analyzed. Results The determination rate of CRKP showed a trend of increasing from 2010 to 2019. The 71.24%(109/153) CRKP were isolated from intensive care unit(ICU),and 52.29% of the patients were adults,which were >60 years old(72.50%). Meanwhile,64.38% of the patients were infants ≤1 year old. The 64.71% of patients were discharged. According to the MLST results,86.92% CRKP(153 isolates) were ST11,29.32% of related patients were from pediatric ICU,and 18.80% were from surgery ICU. The carbapenem-resistant gene screening results showed that 131 isolates of CRKP carried blaKPC-2,11 isolates carried blaNDM-1,4 isolates blaNDM-5,and the other 7 isolates had no carbapenem-resistant genes. The 129 of 131(98.47%) blaKPC-2 carried CRKP were ST11,and the determination rate reached 84.31%(129/153). Both blaNDM-1 CRKP and blaNDM-5 CRKP were non-ST11,and most of the related patients were infants ≤1 year old. Conclusions The determination rate of CRKP from blood culturing shows an increasing trend in Xinhua Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. The main drug resistance gene is ST11 blaKPC-2,and the prevalence is mainly occurred in ICU.
