Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the pathogenic spectrum of infectious diarrhea among children in Zhengzhou City in 2020, so as to provide insights into the management of childhood infectious diarrhea.
Methods:A total of 230 stool samples were collected from children with diarrhea in the Diarrhea Clinic of Zhengzhou Municipal Children's Hospital in 2020. Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Campylobacter and Aeromonas were isolated. Salmonella was typed using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis ( PFGE ) and antimicrobial resistance was tested in Salmonella. The main types and drug resistance of pathogens were descriptively analyzed.
Results:The 230 children with diarrhea included 152 males and 78 females, with a male to female ratio of 1.95∶1. There were 173 cases at ages of 3 years and below ( 75.22% ), and 82 cases seen between June and August ( 35.65% ). A total of 71 pathogenic bacteria strains were isolated, with a detection rate of 30.87%. Salmonella was the most frequently isolated pathogen ( 35 strains, 15.22% prevalence ), following by diarrheagenic E. coli ( 20 strains, 8.70% ). Eleven serotypes of Salmonella were identified, which mainly included S. enteritidis and S. typhimurium. PFGE typing revealed 25 band patterns of Salmonella, with a similarity ranging from 11.85% to 100%. Salmonella were sensitive to imipenem, meropenem, polymyxin B and amikacin and highly resistant to streptomycin ( 85.71% ), ampicillin ( 80.00% ) and sulfaisoxazole ( 80.00% ). A 82.86% proportion of multi-drug resistance was detected in the 29 Salmonella strains.
Conclusions: A wide range of pathogenic bacteria were detected from the childhood infectious diarrhea in Zhengzhou City in 2020, which mainly included Salmonella and diarrheagenic E. coli. A high polymorphism level was seen in PFGE fingerprints of Salmonella, which presented high-level resistance to antimicrobial agents.
