Abstract:
Objective To analyze the changing prevalence and resistance profiles of multiple drug-resistant(MDR)bacteria in Minhang Hospital of Fudan University before and after the onset of COVID-19 pandemic.Methods The resistance profiles of 6 bacterial species were compared before(2017-2019)and after(2020-2022)the onset of COVID-19 pandemic.WHONET 5.6 software was used to statistically analyze the data of antimicrobial susceptibility testing.Results After the onset of COVID-19(2020-2022),the prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)was significantly higher than that in the pre-pandemic period(2017-2019)(40.1％vs 27.9％,P＜0.01),while the prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli(CREC)decreased significantly(1.9％vs 3.1％,P＜0.05).The prevalences of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(CRAB),carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa(CRPA),methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA),and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus(VRE)did not show significant difference before and after the onset of COVID-19 pandemic.MDR isolates were mainly isolated from respiratory tract samples either before or after COVID-19 pandemic(78.4％vs 78.5％).The prevalence of MDR in the intensive care unit(ICU)was significantly higher during the period from 2020 to 2022 compared to the pre-pandemic period(53.1％vs 35.5％,P＜0.01).The resistance rate of MRSA to methoprim-sulfamethoxazole decreased from 15.7％during 2017-2019 to 3.5％during 2020-2022(P＜0.01).Compared to the pre-pandemic period,the E.faecalis strains showed lower resistance rates to penicillin G,ampicillin,and levofloxacin during 2020-2022.The resistance rate of E.faecium to high-level gentamicin decreased significantly from 50.1％during 2017-2019 to 39.2％during 2020-2022(P＜0.01).The resistance rate of E.coli to imipenem decreased from 2.7％to 1.2％(P＜0.01),while A.baumannii and P.aeruginosa strains showed stable resistance rates to carbapenems(P＞0.05).Conclusions After the onset of COVID-19 pandemic,the prevalence of CREC decreased significantly.The prevalences of CRAB,CRPA,MRSA,and VRE also showed a decreasing trend.However,the prevalence and resistance rates of CRKP significantly increased.It is necessary to strengthen hospital infection control measures to curb the spread of MDR bacteria.
