Abstract:
Objective: To understand the distribution and antimicrobial resistance of common bacteria from children aged 0-14 years from China Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System. Methods: Bacterial resistance data of 2 575 040 strains from children aged 0-14 years were extracted from the national bacterial resistance surveillance reports from October 2018 to September 2022 and resistance changes were further analyzed by comparing with all data in each year. Results: The total number of bacteria isolated from children in 2018-2022 ranged from 415 306-588 016 strains, accounted for 15.9% (514 193/3 234 372), 16.2% (572 107/3 528 471), 12.8% (415 306/3 249 123), 13.0% (485 418/3 743 027), and 12.2% (588 016/4 828 509), respectively. The proportions of gram-positive bacteria among children were 45.4% (233 456/514 193), 44.5% (254 869/572 107), 44.7% (185 756/415 306), 42.6% (206 903/485 418), and 41.7% (245 044/588 016), respectively. The top five isolates of gram-positive bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus (36.0%-38.8%), Streptococcus pneumoniae (27.1%-31.7%), Staphylococcus epidermidis (7.3%-9.3%), Enterococcus faecium (4.0%-4.8%), and Enterococcus faecium (2.5%-3.6%), and the top five isolates of gram-negative bacteria were Escherichia coli (21.8%-26.2%), Haemophilus influenzae (14.4%-26.4%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (10.1%-14.7%), Moraxella catarrhalis (7.3%-11.9%), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (5.5%-6.8%). The bacteria from children aged 0-14 years commonly isolated from sputum samples (48.8%-57.0%). The prevalence of methicillin-resistant S. aureus was 28.7%-30.1%. The detection rates of vancomycin-resistant E. faecalis or E. faecium were 0.1%-0.3%. The proportions of non-cerebrospinal fluid-derived penicillin-resistant S. pneumoniae were 0.7%-1.6%. The prevalence of cefotaxime and (or) ceftriaxone-resistant E. coli and K. pneumoniae decreased were 43.7%-50.0% and 31.8%-42.7%, respectively. The resistant rates of E. coli to imipenem and meropenem were 1.2%-1.9% and 1.2%-2.0%, respectively, and the resistant rates of K. pneumoniae to imipenem and meropenem were 7.3%-10.1% and 8.2%-12.2%, respectively. About 6.6%-10.2% and 5.3%-9.6% of the P. aeruginosa isolates showed resistant to imipenem and meropenem, respectively, while 17.2%-24.0% and 19.0%-29.4% of the Acinetobacter baumannii isolates were resistant to imipenem and meropenem, respectively. Conclusions: There is no significant change in the composition of common clinical pathogens in children aged 0-14 years from 2018 to 2022. The prevalence of some resistant bacteria such as methicillin-resistant S. aureus and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales is decreasing. However, it is necessary to pay attention to antimicrobial resistance of bacteria from children and long-term monitoring of the prevalence of resistant bacteria should be conducted.
