摘要:
目的 分析某院临床样本中耐碳青霉烯肠杆菌目(carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, CRE)菌株的检出率、对抗菌药物的体外敏感性和碳青霉烯酶型别,为CRE相关感染的防控和治疗提供依据。 方法 按照细菌学检验操作规程进行临床样本检测,对分离菌株进行菌种鉴定和体外药敏试验。对CRE菌株采用3-氨基苯硼酸联合乙二胺四乙酸碳青霉烯酶抑制剂增强试验检测的碳青霉烯酶型别。 结果 2021年该院从157196份临床样本中分离到CRE菌株2215株,检出率为1.4%(2215/157196)。1134株CRE非重复株分离于903例患者,主要样本来源为呼吸道样本(494/1134,43.6%)、分泌物(191/1134,16.8%)和血液(173/1134,15.3%),从同一患者的二个、三个和四个部位的样本中分离出相同CRE菌株的病例分别占12.5%、4.9%和1.1%。CRE最常见菌种是肺炎克雷伯菌(883/1134,77.9%),其次是阴沟肠杆菌复合群(107/1134,9.4%)和大肠埃希菌(96/1134,8.5%)。不同菌种对多黏菌素B和替加环素的耐药率差异无统计学意义(P<0.05)。产丝氨酸碳青霉烯酶、产金属β内酰胺酶以及同时产生两种酶的菌株分别占82.6%(809/979)、17.2%(168/979)和0.2%(2/979)。 结论 CRE菌株主要分离于呼吸道样本、分泌物和血液。产丝氨酸碳青霉烯酶肺炎克雷伯菌最为常见,对多种抗菌药物的耐药率高,应关注该类细菌相关感染的危险因素。 Abstract:Objective To analyze the detection rate, in vitro susceptibility to antibiotics, and carbapenemase types of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) strains in the clinical samples of a hospital and to provide support for the prevention, control and treatment of CRE-related infections. Methods Clinical specimens were examined according to the operating procedures of bacteriological tests. Species identification and in vitro drug susceptibility testing were performed on the isolated strains. Carbapenemase inhibitor enhancement testing, which combined the use of 3-aminobenzeneboronic acid and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, was conducted to identify the types of carbapenemase in the CRE strains. Results In 2021, 2215 CRE strains were isolated from 157196 clinical samples collected in this hospital, presenting a detection rate of 1.4% (2215/157196). A total of 1134 non-repetitive strains of CRE were isolated from 903 patients. The main sources of samples were respiratory tract (494/1134, 43.6%), secretion (191/1134, 16.8%) and blood (173/1134, 15.3%) samples. The cases with the same CRE strain isolated from the samples of two, three and four sites accounted for 12.5%, 4.9%, and 1.1%, respectively. The most common species was Klebsiella pneumoniae (883/1134, 77.9%), followed by Enterobacter cloacae complex (107/1134, 9.4%) and Escherichia coli (96/1134, 8.5%). The rates of resistance to polymyxin B and tigecycline of different species of CRE strains were not significantly different (P<0.05). Serine carbapenemase-producing strains, metallo-β-lactamase-producing strains, and those producing both enzymes accounted for 82.6% (809/979), 17.2% (168/979), and 0.2% (2/979), respectively. Conclusion CRE strains are frequently isolated from samples collected from the respiratory tract, secretion, and blood. The most common strain is serine carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae, which has a high resistance rate to various antimicrobial drugs, and risk factors of its associated infections deserve more attention. -
