Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical distribution of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae(CRE)strains separated in this hospital and the situation of its production of carbapenem enzyme.Methods The production of carbapenem enzyme by CRE strains was confirmed by using modified Hodge test,the situation of the production of metallo-beta-lactamases by CRE strains was screened by using imipenem-EDTA double-disk synergy test,and the clinical distribution of CRE strains was retrospectively ana-lysed.Results 37 strains of CRE isolated in this laboratory were screened by using instrument method and verified by using disk diffusion (K-B)method.It showed an increasing trend from 2012 to 2014 in the amount of CRE strains.In terms of bacterial spe-cies,K.pneumonia(1 6 strains)was the main kind of carbopenems-resistant strains,followed by E.coli(6 strains),Ser.marcescens(6 strains)and E.cloacae(4 strains).CRE strains were mainly isolated from geriatric ward and intensive care unit(ICU).Sputum,u-rine and blood specimen were key sources of CRE strains.Modified Hodge test confirmed that 36 strains of CRE were the strains that can produce carbapenemase,including 4 strains of K.pneumonia,3 strains of E.cloacae,and 1 strain of E.asburiae,and strains producing metallo-beta-lactamases were confirmed by using imipenem-EDTA double-disk synergy test.Conclusion Elderly patients with underlying diseases are susceptible population of CRE hospital infection and are primary preventive targets.The principal mechanism of carbapenem-resistant CRE strains in this hospital is the production of carbapenemase and production of metallo-β-lac-tamases in a small number of strains.
