OBJECTIVE To understand the clinical characteristics of patients with Mycoplasma pneumoniae(MP)infection,and to explore the related factors of mixed infection,to provide theoretical support for the diag-nosis and treatment of MP infection.METHODS The clinical data of patients diagnosed with MP infection in the 305th hospital of PLA from Dec.2023 to Apr.2024 were collected,and the clinical characteristics of patients in-fected with MP were analyzed.Additionally,the impacts of MP mixed infections with other pathogens on the se-verity of the disease were compared,while the relevant influencing factors of MP mixed with other pathogens were analyzed by the logistic regression model.RESULTS A total of 114 patients with MP infection were collected,both genders had 57 cases(50.00%,respectively),60(52.63%)were adults,73(64.04%)had simple MP infection and 41(35.96%)had mixed infection.The clinical manifestations of MP infection primarily included fever and cough,with most fevers being low to medium intensity.Additionally,the biochemical indexes were predominantly within normal ranges,however,the interleukin 6(IL-6)level was relatively high.The abnormalities of chest X-ray examination accounted for 84.21%of the cases.In mixed infection cases,fever,dizziness,fatigue,headache and muscle pain were more prevalent than single MP infection cases(P<0.05),and CRP level elevated in the mixed infection group(P=0.001),whereas white blood cell level and lymphocyte count decreased compared to the single MP infection group(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that fever(OR=4.112,95%CI:1.046-16.161)and above 46 years old(OR=8.555,95%CI:1.394-52.493)were the rele-vant influencing factors for MP mixed with other pathogens infection.CONCLUSION Clinical features of MP-infected patients are atypical,but IL-6 levels are relatively high.MP is often mixed with viral infections,and fever and above 46 years old are the risk factors for mixed MP infection.

OBJECTIVE To understand the epidemiological characteristics and change of drug resistance of Klebsiel-la pneumoniae strains from a hospital so as to adjust the use of antibiotics and control the transmission of hospital-associated infection caused by the K.pneumoniae.METHODS The K.pneumoniae strains were isolated from the patients who were hospitalized in The 305 Hospital of PLA from 2018 to 2022.The data of drug susceptibility tes-ting were exported by using WHONET 5.6,the clinical data and changing trend of drug resistance were retro-spectively analyzed with the use of SPSS 25.0 software.RESULTS Totally 9157 strains of bacteria were isolated from the patients who were hospitalized from 2018 to 2022,1502(16.40%)of which were K.pneumoniae,and the isolation rate showed a downward trend(x2=15.054,P<0.001).Sputum(77.16%)was the major type of specimen;the strains were mainly isolated from intensive care unit(55.26%).The patients aged more than 79 years old were dominant,accounting for 65.58%.The result of drug susceptibility testing showed that there were significant differences in the drug resistance rates to the commonly used antibiotics from 2018 to 2022(P<0.05).The drug resistance rates to aztreonam,ertapenem and tigecycline showed upward trends with the years(P<0.05),while the drug resistance rates to the rest of drugs such as cefoperazone-sulbactam,ceftazidime and amika-cin showed downward trends(P<0.05).CONCLUSIONS There is significant difference in the clinical distribution of the K.pneumoniae strains in recent 5 years.The key populations and departments should be attached great im-portance to.The drug resistance rates of the K.pneumoniae strains to many types of antibiotics show downward trends,but the situation of drug resistance is still serious.It is necessary to continue to implement the prevention and control policies for drug resistance and reasonably use antibiotics based on the result of drug susceptibility testing.

Objective:To establish a rapid detection method for human astrovirus based on TaqMan-probe real-time fluorescent quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Methods:According to the conservative sequence of human astrovirus ORF1 b gene, we designed the amplification primers and specific fluorescent probe to establish the human astrovirus TaqMan real-time fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR rapid detection method. The specificity, sensitivity and stability of the method were evaluated. We also used this method to detect human astrovirus in clinical samples. Results:The established human astrovirus TaqMan real-time fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR detection method has good specificity and repeatability for human astrovirus, and the sensitivity can reach 10 2 copies/μl. After testing the clinical samples, the detection rate of human astrovirus by our method was 100%. Conclusions:The human astrovirus TaqMan real-time fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR detection method established in this study is simple, rapid, sensitive, specific and stable. It can be used for clinical human astrovirus detection and epidemiological investigation.
