Abstract: Objective To investigate the distribution and drug resistance characteristics of pathogenic bacteria in patients with neutropenic acute leukemia (AL) and bloodstream infections (BSI). Methods The clinical data of 258 neutropenic acute leukemia patients with bloodstream infections, who admitted to Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from January 2016 to December 2021, were collected and analyzed for pathogenic bacteria and drug resistance. Results A total of 268 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated from 258 patients, including 180 strains of gram-negative bacteria (67.16%), 61 strains of gram-positive bacteria (22.76%), and 27 strains of fungi (10.07%). Gram-negative bacteria were mainly Klebsiella pneumoniae (53/268, 19.78%), Escherichia coli (49/268, 18.28%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (41/268, 15.30%). Gram-positive bacteria were mainly coagulase negative Staphylococcus (31/268, 11.57%) and Staphylococcus aureus(17/268, 6.34%). The main fungi were Candida tropicalis (25/268, 9.33%). Escherichia coli (33/268, 12.31%) was the most common pathogen isolated from acute myeloid leukemia (AML), followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (25/268, 9.33%), coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (18/268, 6.72%) and Candida tropicalis (18/268, 6.72%). Klebsiella pneumoniae (35/268, 13.06%) was the most common pathogen isolated from acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL),followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (15/268, 5.60%) and Escherichia coli (14/268, 5.22%). The resistance of Gram-negative bacteria to piperacillin/tazobactam, cefoperazone/sulbactam, imipenem, meropenem, ertapenem, amikacin, cefoxitin, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid was low. Gram-positive bacteria were sensitive to linezolid and vancomycin. Candida was sensitive to flucytosine, amphotericin B and itraconazole. Conclusions In patients with granulosa after AL chemotherapy combined with BSI, the pathogenic bacteria isolated from AML are diverse, and the pathogenic bacteria isolated from ALL are mainly gram-negative bacteria. Pathogenic bacteria have different degrees of drug resistance to commonly used antibacterial drugs, so it is important to strengthen the monitoring of the distribution of pathogenic bacteria and the change of drug resistance and rational use of antibacterial drugs to minimize the death of patients.

Objective To investigate the molecular mechanism of osteoclast differentiation induced by staphylococcal lipoteichoic acid (LTA-sa). Methods Raw264.7 cells were treated with LTA-sa in a concentration of 200 ng/mL for 0, 5, 10, 20, 40, 60 min and 0, 1, 2, 3 days respectively, and the proteins in signaling pathways associated with osteoclast differentiation were measured with western blot. In addition, Raw264.7 cells were treated with different concentrations of LTA-sa (100, 200 and 400 ng/mL) and PBS for 0, 1, 2, 3 days, the expression of TNF-α, IL-1α and IL-6 was detected with Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results (1)Western blot showed that, under stimulation of LTA-sa, IκB-α decreased at 5 min and 10 min, while the phosphorylation of nuclear factor κB increased at 10 min . In addition , NFATc1 increased in 2 and 3 days gradually. The above results were statistically analyzed, and the difference was significant in statistics (P < 0.001). (2)ELISA showed that the expression of IL-6 increased in 2 and 3 days along with the increasing concentration and prolonging stimulation time of LTA-sa. Data were statistically analyzed, the difference was significant in statistics (P < 0.001). Conclusion LTA-sa promotes osteoclast differentiation through the NF-κB signaling pathway and the secretion of IL-6.
