Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of common pathogens isolated from cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)in CHINET program from 2015 to 2021.Methods The bacterial strains isolated from CSF were identified in accordance with clinical microbiology practice standards.Antimicrobial susceptibility test was conducted using Kirby-Bauer method and automated systems per the unified CHINET protocol.Results A total of 14 014 bacterial strains were isolated from CSF samples from 2015 to 2021,including the strains isolated from inpatients(95.3％)and from outpatient and emergency care patients(4.7％).Overall,19.6％of the isolates were from children and 80.4％were from adults.Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria accounted for 68.0％and 32.0％,respectively.Coagulase negative Staphylococcus accounted for 73.0％of the total Gram-positive bacterial isolates.The prevalence of MRSA was 38.2％in children and 45.6％in adults.The prevalence of MRCNS was 67.6％in adults and 69.5％in children.A small number of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium(2.2％)and linezolid-resistant Enterococcus faecalis(3.1％)were isolated from adult patients.The resistance rates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae to ceftriaxone were 52.2％and 76.4％in children,70.5％and 63.5％in adults.The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant E.coli and K.pneumoniae(CRKP)was 1.3％and 47.7％in children,6.4％and 47.9％in adults.The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(CRAB)and Pseudomonas aeruginosa(CRPA)was 74.0％and 37.1％in children,81.7％and 39.9％in adults.Conclusions The data derived from antimicrobial resistance surveillance are crucial for clinicians to make evidence-based decisions regarding antibiotic therapy.Attention should be paid to the Gram-negative bacteria,especially CRKP and CRAB in central nervous system(CNS)infections.Ongoing antimicrobial resistance surveillance is helpful for optimizing antibiotic use in CNS infections.

Objective To investigate the antimicrobial resistance of clinical isolates from elderly patients(≥65 years)in major medical institutions across China.Methods Bacterial strains were isolated from elderly patients in 52 hospitals participating in the CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program during the period from 2015 to 2021.Antimicrobial susceptibility test was carried out by disk diffusion method and automated systems according to the same CHINET protocol.The data were interpreted in accordance with the breakpoints recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)in 2021.Results A total of 514 715 nonduplicate clinical isolates were collected from elderly patients in 52 hospitals from January 1,2015 to December 31,2021.The number of isolates accounted for 34.3％of the total number of clinical isolates from all patients.Overall,21.8％of the 514 715 strains were gram-positive bacteria,and 78.2％were gram-negative bacteria.Majority(90.9％)of the strains were isolated from inpatients.About 42.9％of the strains were isolated from respiratory specimens,and 22.9％were isolated from urine.More than half(60.7％)of the strains were isolated from male patients,and 39.3％isolated from females.About 51.1％of the strains were isolated from patients aged 65-＜75 years.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains(MRSA)was 38.8％in 32 190 strains of Staphylococcus aureus.No vancomycin-or linezolid-resistant strains were found.The resistance rate of E.faecalis to most antibiotics was significantly lower than that of Enterococcus faecium,but a few vancomycin-resistant strains(0.2％,1.5％)and linezolid-resistant strains(3.4％,0.3％)were found in E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible S.pneumoniae(PSSP),penicillin-intermediate S.pneumoniae(PISP),and penicillin-resistant S.pneumoniae(PRSP)was 94.3％,4.0％,and 1.7％in nonmeningitis S.pneumoniae isolates.The resistance rates of Klebsiella spp.(Klebsiella pneumoniae 93.2％)to imipenem and meropenem were 20.9％and 22.3％,respectively.Other Enterobacterales species were highly sensitive to carbapenem antibiotics.Only 1.7％-7.8％of other Enterobacterales strains were resistant to carbapenems.The resistance rates of Acinetobacter spp.(Acinetobacter baumannii 90.6％)to imipenem and meropenem were 68.4％and 70.6％respectively,while 28.5％and 24.3％of P.aeruginosa strains were resistant to imipenem and meropenem,respectively.Conclusions The number of clinical isolates from elderly patients is increasing year by year,especially in the 65-＜75 age group.Respiratory tract isolates were more prevalent in male elderly patients,and urinary tract isolates were more prevalent in female elderly patients.Klebsiella isolates were increasingly resistant to multiple antimicrobial agents,especially carbapenems.Antimicrobial resistance surveillance is helpful for accurate empirical antimicrobial therapy in elderly patients.

Objective:To investigate the different clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN) accompanied by IgA deposition diagnosed by renal biopsy.Methods:The study was a retrospective cohort study. Clinical and pathological data of patients diagnosed with DN through renal biopsy in Beijing Anzhen Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 1, 2010 to March 31, 2023 were retrospectively collected. The clinical and pathological characteristics and prognosis of DN patients with IgA deposition and DN control group patients without IgA deposition were compared. Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the intensity of galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) staining in renal tissue of DN patients with DN IgA deposition, and grouping was performed according to whether the staining intensity was≥2+. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the serum level of Gd-IgA1 in patients. A 50% decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) from baseline or progression to end-stage renal disease within 5 years was defined as a renal endpoint event, and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Log-rank test were used to compare the difference in cumulative incidence of renal endpoint events between two groups of patients.Results:A total of 101 DN patients were enrolled in this study, including 68 males (67.3%) and 33 females (32.7%), with age of (52.2±10.3) years and a median follow-up time of 13.5(4.8, 26.3) months. There were 44 patients with IgA deposition (43.6%) and 57 patients without IgA deposition (56.4%). Compared with DN control group, Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that DN patients with IgA deposition had a higher cumulative incidence of renal endpoint within 5 years ( χ2=6.473, P=0.011). The proportion of positive glomerular Gd-IgA1 (KM55) staining in the DN patients with IgA deposition was 54.5% (24/44), and immunofluorescence examination showed consistent distribution of Gd-IgA1 and IgA in the glomerular mesangial and capillary regions. The serum level of Gd-IgA1 in the glomerular Gd-IgA1 positive patients was significantly higher than that in those negative patients [(6 296.4± 1 535.4) μg/L vs. (4 057.4±1 082.0) μg/L, t=-3.037, P=0.010]. In DN patients with IgA deposition, the age of the subgroup with endpoint events was younger [(42.8±6.9) years vs. (53.3±9.4) years, t=-3.440, P=0.002], the duration of proteinuria was shorter [6.0(1.0, 22.0) months vs. 12.0(10.0, 36.0) months, Z=-2.150, P=0.032], and the proportion of patients with glomerular Gd-IgA1 staining intensity ≥2+ was higher [Fisher'exact test, 30.8%(4/13) vs. 0(0/20), P=0.017]. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that patients with glomerular Gd-IgA1 staining intensity≥2+ had a significantly higher cumulative incidence of renal endpoint events ( χ2=4.846, P=0.028). Conclusion:DN patients with glomerular IgA deposition and Gd-IgA1 positivity may be associated with worse prognosis.

As the world's second largest vector of pathogens,ticks can spread a variety of pathogens by sucking the host's blood.Ticks not only threaten human life and health,but also cause great economic losses in animal husbandry.Artificial breeding of ticks can provide a stable environment for the growth and reproduction of ticks,thereby generating sufficient exper-imental materials for understanding ticks'biological characteristics,studying tick-borne pathogens,and developing anti-tick drugs and vaccines.Current methods of breeding ticks in the laboratory can be roughly divided into two categories:breeding methods using host animals or artificial membranes.The selection of breeding method must be comprehensively considered,ac-cording to tick types,blood-sucking habits,living environments,and other aspects.The development processes of the two methods,and their respective advantages and disadvantages,are described and discussed,to assist laboratories in artificial breeding of ticks.

Enteric human adenovirus(HAdV),a common cause of acute viral gastroenteritis in children,frequently triggers spo-radic infections,nosocomial transmissions,and outbreaks in kindergarten settings.This study was aimed at investigating the molecular characteristics and genetic evolution of enteric HAdV among patients with acute gastroenteritis younger than 5 years in China,to pro-vide foundational data for disease prevention and control.A total of 8 074 stool samples were collected from hospitalized or outpatient children younger than 5 years with acute gastroenteritis in China during 2023.HAdV screening was conducted with real-time fluores-cence PCR.Positive samples were sequenced,then subjected to bioinformatics analysis including genotyping,homology assessment,and phylogenetic analysis with GenBank,BioAider,and MEGA11.0.A total of 370 samples(4.58%)tested positive for HAdV.Two enteric HAdV genotypes were identified:HAdV-F41(which predominated,at 98.09%)and HAdV-F40(1.90%).HAdV-F41 was the dominant genotype among patients with acute gastroenteritis younger than 5 years in China.Bioinformatics analysis indicated that the predominant HAdV lineages in China were lineage 1 and 2,whereas European lineage 3 showed no influence.Systematic and long-term surveillance of HAdV should help elucidate its diversity and evolutionary patterns in China,thereby providing scientific evi-dence for developing more effective prevention strategies.

This study investigated the full-genome molecular characteristics of a rotavirus vaccine-derived strain,G1P[8]geno-type A group rotavirus RVA/Human-wt/CHN/HN1140/2021/G1P[8](referred to as HN1140).The gene fragments of the HN1140 strain were amplified with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)combined with whole-genome primers to obtain the full genome sequence.Genotyping was performed with the online genotyping tool RotaC 2.0,and similarity and genetic evolution analyses for each gene segment were conducted in DNAstar5.1 and MEGA11.0 software.The genotype of the HN1140 strain was deter-mined to be G1-P[8]-I2-R2-C2-M2-A3-N2-T6-E2-H3.Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that all 11 genomic segments clus-tered closely with the RotaTeq vaccine strains,sharing 99.7%-100%nucleotide sequence similarity.Notably,VP1,VP2,VP6,and NSP2-NSP5 segments showed 100%nucleotide identity with RotaTeq strains.Comparative genomic analysis identified 13 nucleotide and 8 amino acid substitutions between HN1140 and RotaTeq strains,localized within the VP7,VP4,VP1,VP2,VP3,and NSP1 segments.The HN1140 strain exhibited the genotype G1-P[8]-A3-T6-H3,which was consistent with the typical profile of a vaccine-derived reassortant.This strain demonstrated high genetic similarity to RotaTeq vaccine strains,with nucleotide sequence identity ranging from 99.7%to 100%.These findings suggested that HN1140 evolved from RotaTeq vaccine strains through genetic reassortment.

Objective To examine the changing prevalence and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Burkholderia cepacia in 52 hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021.Methods A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were collected from 52 hospitals between January 1,2015 and December 31,2021.Antimicrobial susceptibility of the strains was tested using Kirby-Bauer method or automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing systems according to a unified protocol.The results were interpreted according to the breakpoints released in the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)guidelines(2023 edition).Results A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were isolated from all age groups,especially elderly patients.The proportion was 11.1％(1 032 strains)in children,significantly lower than the proportion in adults.About half(46.5％,4 310/9 261)of the strains were isolated from patients at least 60 years old and 42.3％(3 919/9 261)of the strains were isolated from young adults.Most isolates(71.1％)were isolated from sputum and respiratory secretions,followed by urine(10.7％)and blood samples(8.1％).B.cepacia isolates were highly susceptible to the five antimicrobial agents recommended in the CLSI M100 document(33rd edition,2023).B.cepacia isolates showed relatively higher resistance rates to meropenem and levofloxacin.However,the resistance rates to ceftazidime,trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole,and minocycline remained below 8.1％.The percentage of B.cepacia strains resistant to levofloxacin was the highest compared to other antibiotics in any of the three age groups(from 12.4％in the patients＜18 years old to 20.6％in the patients aged 60 years or older).Conclusions B.cepacia is one of the clinically important non-fermenting gram-negative bacteria.Accurate and timely reporting of antimicrobial susceptibility test results and ongoing antimicrobial resistance surveillance are helpful for rational prescription of antimicrobial agents and proper prevention and control of nosocomial infections.
