Abstract:

Objective To study the carbapenem resistance mechanism and molecular epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae(CRE). Methods The identification of bacteria was performed by automatic microbial identification and analysis system. The drug susceptibility test was performed. The modified carbapenem inactivation method(mCIM) was used to screen carbapenemase,and the drug resistance genes of carbapenemase were detected by polymerase chain reaction(PCR)and gene sequencing. The molecular typing was carried out by multilocus sequence typing(MLST) analysis. Results A total of 13 carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and 11 carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter cloacae were collected. The positive rate of mCIM was 100%. In the 13 carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae,10 isolates carried blaKPC-2,1 isolate carried blaNDM-1,and 1 isolate carried blaNDM-4,1 isolate was not detected blaKPC,blaIMP,blaVIM,blaNDM and blaOXA. The 11 carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter cloacae carried blaNDM-1. MLST results showed that in the 13 carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae,12 isolates were ST11,and 1 isolate was ST571,while the 11 carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter cloacae were ST93. Conclusions The main mechanism of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is carrying blaKPC-2,and the dominant sequence type(ST) is ST11. The main mechanism of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter cloacae is carrying blaNDM-1,and the dominant is ST93.
