Objective:To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and etiological distribution of infection on 3 067 hospitalized pediatric patients with burns, and explore the prevention and treatment strategy of pediatric burns.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted. An analysis was performed on the data of 3 067 hospitalized pediatric patients with burns who met the inclusion criteria and were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University (the Third Military Medical University) from January 2012 to December 2020, including gender, age, causative factors, locations and severities of burns, seasons of accidents, and the type, source of tissue or body fluid, and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria. API bacterial identification batten and automatic microbial identification system were applied for pathogen identification. Drug sensitivities of top 3 consistent ratio pathogen identifed were tested with minimum inhibitory concentration and disk diffusion method. WHONET 5.6 software was applied to analyze the data.Results:There were 3 067 hospitalized pediatric patients with burns, including 1 768 boys and 1 299 girls. The majority of pediatric burn patients were >1 and ≤4 years, accounting for 72.9% (2 236/3 067), and the minority of pediatric burn patients were >8 and ≤12 years, accounting for 4.9% (150/3 067). Moderate burns and severe burns of pediatric burn patients accounted for the majority parts, and the proportions of the two were close. The top cause of pediatric burns was scald, accounting for 81.6% (2504/3 067). Extremities were the most common burn sites in that of entire 3 254. The most pediatric burns occurred in winter, accounting for 29.4% (903/3 067). A total of 1 018 strains of pathogenic bacteria were collected from pediatric burn patients, all of which were non-repeated isolates. The pathogens with top five consistent ratio were Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, Enterobacter cloacae, and Escherichia coli, among which Staphylococcus aureus ranked the first every year. The pathogens were mainly isolated from the wound exudate, accounting for 81.34% (828/1 018). Staphylococcus aureus from 2012 to 2020 showed no resistance to vancomycin, linezolid or teicoplanin while Staphylococcus aureus isolated in 2019 was 100% resistant to macrolides, penicillin, aminoglycosides, and quinolones. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was not resistant to polymyxin B. Acinetobacter baumannii showed a high rate of drug resistance to most antibiotics. Conclusions:Among the pediatric burn patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University (the Third Military Medical University) from 2012 to 2020, the majority are male children aged >1 and ≤4 years with moderate burns. Scalds are the leading cause; and extremities are the common burn sites; and the most pediatric burns occurre in winter. Staphylococcus aureus from wound exudate is the primary pathogen of burn wound infections in pediatric patients.

Constructing ethanologenic strains with cellulose activity is important to achieve consolidated bioprocessing of lignocellulose for ethanol production. In this study, we integrated the pyruvate decarboxylase gene pdc and alcohol dehydrogenase gene adhB from Zymomonas mobilis ZM4 into Escherichia coli JM109 by Red recombination method to generatea recombinant strain E. coli P81 that could produce ethanol from glucose. Abeta-glucosidase gene bglB from Bacillus polymyxa 1.794 was cloned into the recombinant E. coli P81 and beta-glucosidase was expressed to give a new recombinant strain E. coli P81 (pUC19-bglB) with dual functions of cellobiose degradation and ethanol production. The extracellular beta-glucosidaseactivity was 84.78 mU/mL broth and the extracellular cellobiase activity of E. coli P81 (pUC19-bglB) was 32.32 mU/mL broth. E. coli P81 (pUC19-bglB) fermented cellobiose to ethanol with a yield of 55.8% of the theoretical value, and when glucose and cellobiose were co-fermented, the ethanol yield reached 46.5% of thetheoretical value. The construction of consolidated bioprocessing strain opens the possibility to convert cellobiose to ethanol in a single bioprocess.
