Objective To understand the prevalence of resistance gene and homology of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) isolated from ICU of emergency.Methods A total of 19 CRKP isolates were obtained from emergency ICU of the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from July 2015 to August 2016.PCR was performed to screen the genes encoding carbapenemase,extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and AmpC.Pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) were used for molecular typing of these bacterial strains.Results Among the 19 CRKP,carbapenemase-resistant genes were detectable in 18 CRKP isolates,including 17 isolates of harboring blaKPC gene and 1 strain of harboring blaNDM gene.All the 18 strains carried ESBLs genes which were identified as 8 blaSHV-12,3 blaSHV-11,5 blaSHV-2a,15 blaTEM-1,10 blaCTX-M-65,3 blaCTX-M-15,1 blaCTX-M-14 and 1 blaCTX-M-27.The 13 strains harboring cephalosporin-resistant genes were all identified as blaDHA-1.PFGE results revealed that the 19 CRKP strains were grouped into 4 types (A,B,C and D) and 4 subtypes(A1,2,3 and 4):A1 (n =12),A2(n =1),A3 (n=1),A4(n=1),B(n=2),C(n=1) and D(n=1).MLST showed that ST11 was the predominant sequence type (n=15) among the 19 CRKP strains,and ST48 (n =2),ST37 (n =1) and untyped (n =1) were also identified.The 15 blaKPC-2-producing CRKP ST11 clone shared the A type of PFGE pattern.Conclusion The report on CRKP suggested the dissemination of blaKPC-2-producing ST11 clone was existed in the ICU of emergency department in this hospital.The surveillance for drug-resistance and effective disinfectant quarantine measures should be strengthened.

There is growing interest in the whole saliva as a diagnostic fluid because of the relatively simple and non-invasive collection.Research on salivary proteomic and genomic has greatly facilitated the diagnosis and therapy of oral diseases,also revealed the molecular mechanism of the diseases.Saliva-derived exosome as a new source,with various molecular constituents of their cells of origin,including proteins,mRNA and miRNA might serve as potential biomarker.This article reviews the biological properties of saliva exosome,its separation and other aspects associated with disease.
