Non-carbapenem-producing carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in children: Risk factors, molecular epidemiology, and resistance mechanism
Background
The investigation into risk factors, molecular epidemiology, and resistance mechanisms of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) in pediatric populations in China is currently inadequate.
Methods
To assess epidemiology, molecular characteristics, and resistance mechanisms, virulence-associated genes were analyzed, alongside multi locus sequence typing (MLST), PCR, and qRT-PCR.
Finding
Multivariate analysis identified prolonged hospitalization (OR: 1.026; 95 % CI: 1.004–1.049; P = 0.023) and increased exposure to enzyme inhibitor complex preparations (OR: 3.165; 95 % confidence interval [CI]: 1.113–8.999; P = 0.031) as independent risk factors for CRPA healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Mortality rates were significantly higher in the HAI group compared to the non-HAI group (19.1 % vs. 6.0 %, P = 0.021). Analysis of virulence-associated gene combinations revealed 10 and 15 distinct profiles among HAI and non-HAI isolates, respectively, characterized by exoS−/exoU+ or exoS+ /exoU− genotypes, with no isolates exhibiting both exoS+ and exoU+ genotypes concurrently.
Infections predominantly correlated with CC244, with a significantly greater occurrence in the HAI group (72.1 % vs. 46.3 %, P = 0.002). Antimicrobial susceptibility testing identified that both CC244 + and HAI isolates demonstrated elevated resistance across all tested antibiotics. Furthermore, low oprD expression was observed in 77.9 % of HAI isolates and 67.2 % of non-HAI isolates, while increased ampC production and mexB gene overexpression were infrequently detected (all P > 0.05).
Conclusions
Prolonged hospital stays and an increased exposure to enzyme–inhibitor complex therapies were identified as independent risk factors for CRPA HAIs. CRPA demonstrated considerable genetic diversity, with STs predominantly represented by CC244, and virulence-associated genes have spread. The primary mechanism driving carbapenem resistance involved the downregulation of outer membrane porin protein oprD, accompanied by oprD mutation inactivation.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Infection and Public Health, first official journal of the Saudi Arabian Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs, King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences and the Saudi Association for Public Health, aims to be the foremost scientific, peer-reviewed journal encompassing infection prevention and control, microbiology, infectious diseases, public health and the application of healthcare epidemiology to the evaluation of health outcomes. The point of view of the journal is that infection and public health are closely intertwined and that advances in one area will have positive consequences on the other.
The journal will be useful to all health professionals who are partners in the management of patients with communicable diseases, keeping them up to date. The journal is proud to have an international and diverse editorial board that will assist and facilitate the publication of articles that reflect a global view on infection control and public health, as well as emphasizing our focus on supporting the needs of public health practitioners.
It is our aim to improve healthcare by reducing risk of infection and related adverse outcomes by critical review, selection, and dissemination of new and relevant information in the field of infection control, public health and infectious diseases in all healthcare settings and the community.
