Abstract:
Objective To analyze the detection rate of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)in Guangdong Provincial Second Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine(the hospital)and analyze the main drug resistance genes and virulence genes of CRKP,so as to understand the molecular epidemiologi-cal mechanism of its infection strains.Methods The detection rate of CRKP infection in the hospital from 2020 to 2023 was retrospectively analyzed,and a total of 84 strains of CRKP were collected from July to De-cember 2022 in the hospital.The clinical data of the strains were collected,and the corresponding drug resist-ance genes and virulence genes were amplified by PCR.The modified carbapenem inactivation method(mCIM)was uesd to detect carbapenemase.Results The detection rates of CRKP in the Guangdong Provincial Second Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from 2020 to 2023 were relatively high,and were higher than 46.00％.84 non-repeated CRKP strains were collected from July to December of 2022,and most samples were from respiratory tract,accounting for 55.95％.The patients were mainly from acupuncture and rehabilitation departments,accounting for 34.52％.Drug sensitivity tests showed that CRKP was highly resistant to various cephalosporin and extended spectrum beta lactam drugs,and only showed high sensitivity to tigecycline and polymyxin.The positive rate of mCIM test was 84.52％(71/84),and the other 15.48％results were neutral,which failed to determine whether they produced carbapenemase.A total of 73 strains were detected with car-bapenemase gene,accounting for 86.90％,involving 4 genotypes.The detection rates of blaKPC,blaNDM,blaIMP,and blaOXA-48 were 83.33％,2.38％,1.19％,and 1.19％,respectively.One of them carried both blaKPC and blaNDM genes,and multiple β-lactamases were detected.The detection rates of blaSHV,bla-TEM,blaCTX-M-9,and blaCTX-M-1 were 96.43％,78.57％,64.29％,and 2.38％,respectively.The detection rates of five virulence genes,blaiucA,blarmpA2,blairoB,blapeg-334,and blarmpA,were 42.86％,41.67％,27.38％,3.57％,and 2.38％,respectively.The proportion of strains carrying three or more virulence genes was 17.85％(15/84).Conclusion The detection rate of CRKP in the hospital is relatively high,and the drug resistance situation is serious,with Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase(KPC)as the main drug resistance gene.A high proportion of Carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae(CR-hvKp)strains is found,and the infection prevention and control situation is not optimistic.It is necessary to further strengthen the hospital infection control measures and standardize the scientific and reasonable drug use.
