Objective To investigate the drug resistant mechanism and homology of three strains of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (K.pneumoniae) isolated from different sites of one patient.Methods Three strains of carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae were isolated from femoral vein catheter tip,wound secretions and sputum of a patient with severe burns,respectively.Their carbapenemase,metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) and drug resistance genes were detected by modified Hodge test,double-disk synergy test and combination disk diffusion and PCR,respectively,and homology and biological typing were analyzed by enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus-PCR (ERIC-PCR) assay and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) technology,respectively.Results The carbapenemase and MBL of three strains of carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae were negative and positive,respectively.The blaNDM-1 gene was identified from the three strains,but other drug resistance genes such as blanC,blaGES,blaIMP,blaSPM,blaVIM,blaGIM and blaOXA-48 were not detected.ERIC-PCR showed that three isolates belonged to the same genotype,and MLST showed that they were type ST17.Conclusion Carring blaNDM-1 gene is the main cause leading to the drug resistance of three strains of carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae,and they belong to the same genotype.
