Increased incidence of hypervirulent and drug-resistant Klebsiella causing life-threatening infections in young healthy individuals and asymptomatic carriage in the community has been largely reported in the Asian-Pacific Rim. This study conducted a molecular analysis of two morphologically distinct variants of K. pneumoniae that caused bacteremia and sepsis in a patient. Colony morphology of the isolates was characterized in various growth media, and the morphological variants differed in their mucoviscosity. The isolates were found to be serotype K2 (highly associated with hypervirulent Klebsiella) by molecular serotyping using specific PCR primers. The multidrug-resistant nature of the colony variants was evaluated by antibiotic susceptibility testing and it was found to have a similar antibiogram pattern in in vitro. An increased minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of colistin (>64 μg mL-1) was detected in both isolates using broth microdilution, and they were found to be highly resistant to colistin. Molecular analysis revealed that the isolates possessed a chromosomal mutation in mgrB, which causes colistin resistance.

Out of the tested Enterobacterales, phenotypic testing revealed potential carbapenemase production in 95 isolates. A total of 56 clinically significant isolates were selected for molecular analysis. Species identification and antimicrobial susceptibility for conventional antibiotics was done using the VITEK 2 system, while carbapenemase genes were detected via Multiplex PCR. Antimicrobial susceptibility for newer antibiotics was determined by the MIC test strips. The predominant genotypes were blaNDM (39.3%) and blaOXA-48 (37.5%), with Klebsiella pneumoniae as the most prevalent producer (71.42%). Cefiderocol showed 100% effectiveness against all isolates. Ceftazidime-avibactam demonstrated high activity against OXA-48 and KPC producers (95.5% and 100% susceptibility, respectively). Meropenem-vaborbactam significantly improved susceptibility among NDM-. OXA-48/NDM-, and OXA-48-producing isolates, and imipenem-relebactam among OXA-48 CPE.

However, traditional etiological detection methods have not been able to meet the needs for clinical diagnosis and prognosis of LRTIs. The rapid development of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) provides new insights for diagnosis and treatment of LRTIs. We conducted a retrospective study on 95 patients with lower respiratory tract infections caused by MDRO admitted to our respiratory department from January 2022 to December 2023. These patients underwent mNGS testing and conventional culture testing. Additionally, 150 patients without lower respiratory tract infections caused by MDRO during the same period were included as the non-MDRO group. General information was collected, and Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors for MDRO infections in patients with lower respiratory tract infections. Our results show that the time to pathogen detection by mNGS was 50.76 ± 1.730 h, that is significantly shorter than 55.53 ± 2.782 h required for conventional culture testing. The pathogen detection rate by mNGS was 89.47% (85/95), higher than the 67.37% (64/95) identified by conventional testing. In terms of pathogen genus distribution, mNGS detected a total of 279 pathogens, while conventional testing detected 121 pathogens. Logistic multivariate regression analysis identified that the use of more than two antibiotics, invasive procedures, invasive mechanical ventilation for ≥7 days, and stay in the respiratory intensive care unit (RICU) for ≥7 days were the main influencing factors for lower respiratory tract infections caused by MDRO (P < 0.05).</p>","PeriodicalId":7119,"journal":{"name":"Acta microbiologica et immunologica Hungarica","volume":" ","pages":"273-279"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142833424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
