Methods The Minimal Inhibition Concentration values for 15 antibiotics were assessed using the Phonixl00 compact system. PCR amplification and DNA sequencing were used to detect genes encoding carbapenemases. WHONET 5.6 was finally used for resistance analysis. Results In total, 179 strains of CPM-non-susceptible K. pneumoniae were isolated from January, 2010 to December, 2014. The rates of non-susceptible to imipenem and meropenem were 95.0% and 95.6%, respectively. In the 179 strains, 95 （53.1%） strains carried the blalMP gene, and IMP-4 and IMP-8 were detected in 92 （96.8%） and 3 （3.2%） IMP-producing isolates, respectively. 65 （36.3%） strains carried the blaNDM_1 gene. 6 （3.4%） strains carried the blaKpc gene, and KPC-2 were detected in 6 KPC-producing isolates. In addition, New Delhi-Metallo-1 （NDM-1） producing isolates increased from 7.1% to 63.0% in five years and IMP-4 producing isolates decreased from 75.0% to 28.3%. Conclusion High frequencies of multiple resistances to antibiotics were observed in the CPM-non-susceptible K. pneumoniae strains isolated from Beijing Children＇s Hospital. The production of IMP-4 and NDM-1 metallo-13-1actamases appears to be an important mechanism for CPM-non- susceptible in K. pneumoniae.展开更多

The study was carried out at La Paz Medical Center, Microbiology section, Malabo, Equatorial Guinea from August 2013 to October 2015. Out of 293 septicemia suspected cases, 29 (10%) blood cultures were positive, 28 with bacterial growth and 1 with growth of Candida sp. The mortality rate of neonates caused by Gram negative bacterial sepsis was 34.7%. Among the Gram negative bacteria (24 isolates), the most common types were Klebsiella pneumoniae (16 = 69.6%), followed by Escherichia coli (4 = 17.4%) and Acinetobacter species (4 = 17.4%). Four Gram positive bacteria were also isolated and identified all ascoagulase-negative staphylococci. All the Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates and Acinetobacter species demonstrated Multi Drug Resistance against different antibiotics with Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) activity. The most frequent causative agent of bacterial sepsis in new-born children was Klebsiella pneumoniae. An alarming level of Multi Drug Resistance (MDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae strains to the first choice antibiotic treatment was observed.展开更多

Nosocomial infections caused by K. pneumoniae producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases （ESBLs） are very difficult to treat. This paper investigated the resistant characteristics of K. pneumoniae producing ESBLs and their aminoglycoside-modifying enzyme gene expressions including Nacetyltransferases and O-adenyltransferases. Bacteria identification and ESBLs confirmatory tests were performed by Phoenix^TM-100 system. And minimum inhibitory concentrations （MICs） of gentamicin, amikacin, kanamycin, tobranycin, netilmicin and neomycin in 53 K. pneumoniae isolates were detected by agar dilution. In addition, six aminoglycoside-modifying enzyme genes were amplified by polymerase chain reaction （PCR） and verified by DNA sequencer. It was found that imipenem and meropenem against 120 K. pneumoniae isolates produced powerful antimicrobial activities. The resistant rates of gentamicin and amikacin were 55.0% and 46.7%, respectively. Except neomycin, MIC50 and MIC90 of gentamicin, amikacin, kanamycin, tobramycin and netilmicin in 53 K. pneumoniae were all 〉 128 μg/ml, and the resistant rates were 83.0%, 52.3%, 75.5%, 81.1% and 69.8%, respectively. However, neomycin was only 39.6%. In addition, five modifying enzyme genes, including aac（3）-Ⅰ, aac（3）-Ⅱ, aac（6＇）-Ⅰb, ant（3＂）-Ⅰ, ant（2＂）-Ⅰ genes, were found in 53 isoaltes except aac （6＇）-Ⅱ, and their positive rates were 11.3%, 67.9%, 47.2%, 1.9% and 39.6%, respectively. It was also confirmed by nucleotide sequence analysis that the above resistant genes shared nearly 100% identities with GenBank published genes. The results obtained in the present study indicated that K. pneumoniae producing ESBLs strains are rapidly spreading in our hospital, and their resistance to aminoglycosides may be associated with aminoglycoside-modifying enzyme gene expressions.展开更多
