ABSTRACT
@#Abstract: Objective To analyze the characteristics and corresponding drug resistance of pathogenic bacterial spectrum in eight major infection sites of hospitalized patients, and to provide epidemiological data for the rational selection of antibiotics in clinical practice. Methods A total of 396 bacterial strains isolated from clinical specimens of hospitalized patients in member institutions of the Hainan Provincial Bacterial Resistance Monitoring Network from September 1, 2020, to September 30, 2022, were included in this study. Data were screened and filtered from the database of MH120 Microbial Identification and Drug Sensitivity Analysis System based on the technical scheme of the National Bacterial Drug Resistance Surveillance Network and Science and Technology Basic Resources Investigation Project research plan in 2020. The testing data were integrated, summarized, and analyzed using EXCEL and WHONET 5.6 software, and statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 26.0 software. Results Among of 396 strains of bacteria, 78 (19.7%) were isolated from respiratory tract specimens, 74 (18.7%) from urinary tract specimens, 72 (18.2%) from blood specimens, 54 (13.6%) from abdominal cavity specimens, 48 (12.1%) from skin and soft tissue specimens 48 strains (12.1%), 30 (7.6%) from reproductive tract specimens, 22 (5.6%) from central nervous system specimens, 18 (4.5%) from digestive tract specimens. Gram-negative bacteria accounted for 69.4% of the isolates, while gram-positive bacteria accounted for 30.6%. The top five gram-negative bacteria isolated were Klebsiella pneumoniae (14.9%), Escherichia coli (14.4%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (10.4%), Acinetobacter baumannii (5.3%), and Salmonella species (4.5%). The top five gram-positive bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus (11.1%), Streptococcus agalactis (7.8%), Enterococcus faecalis (3.0%), Enterococcus faecium (2.8%), and Streptococcus suis (1.8%). Respiratory failure and bloodstream infection were independent influencing factors of treatment response (P<0.01). The resistance rate of Escherichia coli to ampicillin was 81.4%, and the resistance rate of Staphylococcus aureus to gentamicin and levofloxacin were both below 7%. Conclusions The pathogen spectra vary with different infection sites of patients, and rational selection of antibiotics based on drug susceptibility testing is crucial to shorten the treatment time of patients and avoid the unnecessary emergence of drug-resistant strains caused by drug abuse.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the distribution characteristics of virulence-related phenotypes/genotype, capsular serotype, drug resistance phenotypes, and sequence typing (ST) of Klebsiella pneumoniae in patients living in Zhongjiang county, improve clinical understanding, and provide evidence for the prevention and control of bacterial drug resistance and clinical rational drug use. Methods:The data of 135 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from patients who received treatment in Zhongjiang County People's Hospital from July to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Bacterial identification and drug sensitivity testing were performed using the WalkAway-40Plus automated microbiology system. Strains with a high viscosity phenotype were identified using wire drawing experiments. Hypervirulence-associated capsular serotype and virulence genes were verified by polymerase chain reaction. ST of Klebsiella pneumoniae strain was identified using multilocus sequence typing. Results:Strains with a high viscosity phenotype were identified in 50.4% of the 135 strains. 54.1%, 54.8%, and 54.1% of the strains were positive for virulence genes iucA, iroN, rmpA. The proportion of strains with capsular Serotype K1 or K2 was 11.9% and 15.6%, respectively. A total of 65 kinds of ST were identified, with ST23 and ST37 being the most common, accounting for 11.1% and 6.7%, respectively. The resistance rate of the strains to 16 kinds of antibiotics was 0.0%-25.2%, and the resistance rate to Carbapenem antibiotics, Amikacin, and Tigecycline was less than 1%. The positive rate of virulence gene of strains with a high viscosity phenotype was significantly higher than that of strains without a high viscosity phenotype ( P < 0.001), and its resistance rate to Cephalosporin was significantly lower in strains with a high viscosity phenotype than that in strains without a high viscosity phenotype ( P < 0.001). Conclusion:Klebsiella pneumoniae in Zhongjiang County is characterized by "high virulence and low drug resistance". It is necessary to continuously monitor the changes in the virulence and drug resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae in Zhongjiang County, Sichuan Province, and be alert to the rapid dissemination of highly virulent strains.
ABSTRACT
@#Abstract: Objective To understand the distribution and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria of bloodstream infection in Fujian Province, and to provide reference for clinical rational drug use. Methods Bacteria identification and antimicrobial susceptibility test were carried out on the isolated strains of blood culture samples in 31 medical institutions in Fujian Province according to the unified plan. The data were statistically analyzed by WHONET 5.6 software according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) drug sensitivity executive standard in 2021. Results After removing the duplicate strains, 10 356 strains of bacteria were collected, including 3 668 strains of Gram-positive bacteria (35.4%) and 6 688 strains of Gram-negative bacteria (64.6%). The top 5 bacteria are Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, coagulase negative Staphylococcus, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In this study, the detection rate of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was 24.5%, and the detection rate of methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus aureus (MRCNS) was 76.8%. Vancomycin, teicoplanin and linezolid resistant staphylococci were not found. The detection rate of penicillin resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae was 3.2%. Vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium were 0.8% and 1.1% respectively. The resistance rate of Escherichia coli to carbapenems was 0.8%, and the resistance rate to levofloxacin was 41.9%; the resistance rate of Klebsiella pneumoniae to carbapenems was 15.0%. The resistance rate of Acinetobacter baumannii to carbapenems was 45.1%; the detection rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was only 14.2%, and it maintained a high sensitivity to most drugs. Conclusions Most bloodstream infections in Fujian Province are caused by Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus. The drug resistance of some strains is not optimistic, so we should continue to strengthen the clinical application management of antibiotics and use them correctly and reasonably.

ABSTRACT
@#Abstract: Objective To analyze the etiological characteristics and drug resistance of patients with bloodstream infection (BSI) in the bacterial resistance monitoring network in Hainan Province from 2018 to 2020, so as to provide laboratory data for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods The clinical data of the subjects were collected, and the etiological characteristics of BSI patients and drug resistance of commonly used drugs in clinical treatment were analyzed retrospectively. SPSS 26.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results A total of 877 strains were isolated, including Gram-negative bacteria (584 strains, 66.6%), Gram-positive bacteria (239 strains, 27.2%) and fungi (54 strains, 6.2%); male patients (591 cases, 67.4%), female patients (286 cases, 32.6%); inpatients (780 cases, 88.9%), outpatient and emergency patients (97 cases, 11.1%); the main primary diseases of BSI patients were hypertension, cerebral infarction and type 2 diabetes, and the main primary infections were pulmonary infection and urinary system infection. Intensive care unit (25.2%, 221 cases), emergency department (10.9%, 96 cases), oncology department (9.1%, 80 cases), nephrology department (6.8%, 60 cases) and hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery department (4.3%, 38 cases) had the highest proportion of pathogenic bacteria. Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, coagulase-negative Staphylococcus, Viridans group streptococci and Candida albicans were the most frequently isolated pathogens. The detection rates of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii were 3.4%, 15.2% and 36.4% respectively. The carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli was not checked out. The detection rates of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin resistant coagulase negative Staphylococcus were 18.5% and 79.1% respectively. Conclusions Gram-negative bacteria are the most common pathogens of BSI, and inpatients are the main source of BSI. Age, underlying diseases and primary infection are the risk factors of BSI. Clinical laboratories should strengthen the etiological monitoring of high-risk patients with BSI, and the resistance analysis of common antibiotics can provide a basis for the rational use of antibiotics in clinical practice.
ABSTRACT
@#Abstract: Objective To analyze the drug resistance of Staphylococcus aureus in blood samples of children and adults from 50 hospitals in Shandong Province, and to understand the drug sensitivity characteristics of Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infection (BSI), so as to provide reference for clinical experience. Methods The distribution and drug resistance of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from blood samples from 50 hospitals in Shandong province from 2017 to 2020 were analyzed based on the Cooperative Research Network of Pediatric Bacterial and Fungal Resistance Monitoring in Shandong Province. Meanwhile, the drug sensitivity characteristics of Staphylococcus aureus were divided into children group (<14 years old) and adult group (≥14 years old). The data were analyzed by Whonet 5.6 and SPSS 22.0 with reference to CLSI 2021 M100 document standard judgment results. Results A total of 3 661 Staphylococcus aureus strains were collected from 50 medical institutions in Shandong Province, including 675 in 2017, 870 in 2018, 1 080 in 2019, and 1 036 in 2020. The drug resistance rates of multiple antibiotics in blood culture methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) group and methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) group were significantly different (P<0.05). There were significant differences in antibiotic resistance rates between adult group and children group (P<0.05). The overall detection rate of MRSA was 27.5%, and no staphylococcus aureus strains resistant to vancomycin, linezolid and tigecycline were found. Conclusion The detection rate of MRSA strains decreased continuously and increased by 2020. The detection rate of MRSA in adult group was lower than that in children group, suggesting that we should pay attention to the monitoring of bacterial resistance in children group, to the management of multiple resistant bacteria and rational use of antibacterial drugs.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND The longstanding application of insecticides for vector control without periodic monitoring of the population response to these chemicals can directly drive the selection of resistant populations of vector mosquitoes. Tocantins is the newest state of the Brazilian Federation. Despite a historically high number of dengue cases, studies and monitoring data concerning insecticide resistance in the state are lacking. OBJECTIVES To verify the resistance status of Aedes aegypti from 10 populations distributed throughout the state connected by rivers and roads. METHODS Between 50 and 150 ovitraps were installed in house gardens within each municipality. Collection points were established based on the importance of the towns and on geographic aspects. Dose response bioassays were performed in accordance with World Health Organization guidelines. Molecular assays were conducted to detect kdr mutations, which are related to pyrethroid resistance. FINDINGS Of the 3,200 ovitrap paddles analysed, 25.8% contained eggs, with a total of 55,687 eggs collected. With the exception of Caseara, all evaluated populations were considered to be resistant to temephos. The data showed different levels of resistance to deltamethrin among the samples. Caseara and Guaraí showed the lowest RR95 values. On average, the NaVR1 kdr allele was most frequent (40.3%), followed by NaVS (38.1%), and NaVR2 (21.6%). Palmas, the capital of the state, had the highest frequency of kdr alleles (87.5%). MAIN CONCLUSIONS With the exception of Palmas, the towns with the highest indexes (ovitrap positivity, number and density of eggs), as well with high levels of resistance and kdr alleles were located along the BR-153 road, indicating that the flow of people and cargo can contribute to the dispersion of the vector and potentially resistance. This study contributes substantially to knowledge regarding the insecticide resistance profile of Tocantins mosquito populations; the data generated via the study could facilitate the judicious use of insecticides by vector control programs.

Enteritidis en las muestras clínicas y heces cloacales de aves. La resistencia a ciprofloxacina de Campylobacter spp., entre 59-81% se destacó en las tres poblaciones estudiadas. Para Salmonella spp. se observó una resistencia a nitrofurantoina del 73% en heces cloacales de aves, 55% en alimentos y 19,4% en humanos; a tetraciclina, 42% en alimentos, 5% en muestras clínicas y 9% en heces cloacales; para el ácido nalidíxico la resistencia fue del 72% en animales y 53% en muestras clínicas. Es importante fortalecer la vigilancia integrada de la resistencia antimicrobiana en estas tres poblaciones de manera a detectar en forma oportuna mecanismos de resistencia que pudieran afectar al ser humano a través de la cadena alimentaria.
Infection caused by Salmonella ssp. and Campylobacter spp. are the foodborne diseasesreported most frequently throughout the world, and chicken meat is considered one of themost important food vehicles for both. The objective was to present the first resultsobtained from the integrated antimicrobial surveillance of foodborne diseases of Salmonellaspp. and Campylobacter spp in three populations. In this descriptive cross - sectional ofconsecutive sampling, samples were collected from different sources of chicken meat and different populations for isolation, characterization and resistance profile. A prevalence of13% in food, 20% in clinical samples and 55% in cloacal feces was observed in the isolationof Campylobacter spp. with high prevalence of Campylobacter jejuni in all three populationsfollowed by 6% in food, 13% in clinical samples and 3% in birds cloacal feces of Salmonellaspp. with predominance in the isolation of the serotype Salmonella ser. Enteritidis in clinicalsample populations and birds cloacal feces. The resistance of Campylobacter spp. tociprofloxacin of 59-81%, stood out in the three populations under study, in contrast toSalmonella spp. A high resistance to nitrofurantoin of 73% was observed in poultry feces,55% in foods and 19.4% in humans. Resistance to tetracycline was found in foods (42%),5% in clinical samples and 9% in cloacal feces. A resistance of 72% was observed inanimals and 53% in clinical samples for nalidixic acid. It is important to strengthen theintegrated surveillance of antimicrobial resistance in these three populations in order totimely detect mechanisms of resistance that can affect the human being through the foodchain.

ABSTRACT
The domiciliary presence of Triatoma infestans (Klug) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) after control interventions was reported in recent years. Toxicological studies showed high levels of resistance to pyrethroids suggesting resistance as one of the main causes of deficient control. The aim of the present study was to develop a protocol to test resistance to deltamethrin in T. infestans collected from the field by discriminate concentration. To evaluate field insects, the effect of age (early vs. later) and nutritional state (starved vs. fed) on the deltamethrin susceptibility of each developmental stage was studied. Topical and insecticide impregnated paper bioassays were used. Using the impregnated paper, the susceptibility to deltamethrin was not affected by the age of the stadium and the nutritional states, and varied with the post-exposure time and with the different developmental stages. A discriminant concentration of deltamethrin (0.36% w/v) impregnated in filter paper was established for all developmental stages. Finally, the methodology and the discriminant concentration were evaluated in the laboratory showing high sensitivity in the discrimination of resistance. The present study developed a methodology of exposure to insecticide impregnated papers and proposes a protocol to test T. infestans in field populations with the aim to detect early evolution of resistance to deltamethrin.

ABSTRACT
Objective To determine the distribution and antibiotics resistance characteristic of pathogens in urinary tract infections in aged female diabetics patients and provide scientific basis for clinicians in selecting effective antibiotics. Methods Pathogenic bacteria, isolated from specimens of 107 elderly female diabetic cases with urinary tract infections, were identified and drug susceptibility tests were performed by VITEK-32 analysator. Results Among all 107 kinds of isolated bacteria,the ratio of gram-negative bacteria was 74. 8% ( 80/107 ), predominated by Escherichiacoli ( accounting for 48. 6% [52/107] ); the ratio of gramposition bacterias was 13. 1% (14/107) and eumycetes was 12. 1% (13/107). In antibiotic resistance analysis,the gram negative bacteria showed higher drug-resistance to the some common-antibiotics, such as ampicililin,cefazolin,cefuroxime-sodium and cefuroxime axetil ( > 70. 0% ), while they were sensitive to imipenem and amikacin( < 10. 0% ). The gram positive bacteria were most sensitive to vancomycin (0%), followed by Linezolid(7.7% ). Conclusion Escherichiacoli were the major pathogenic bacteria in urinary tract infections in aged female diabetic patients, with higher drug resistance. Therefore, drug resistance monitoring should be carried out according to the variety of pathogenic bacteria so as to guide rational use of antibiotics and decrease drug resistance.

OBJECTIVE I understand all types of hospital clinical specimens sent from the main Gram-negative bacillus distribution and resistance,for clinical anti-infection treatment and provide the basis for the rational use of antibiotics.METHODS Clinical submitted the sputum,Blood,Urinary tract secretions,Wound secretions,Humoral etc all kinds of specimens from the conventional training,use Viekt-ATB auto-system,and K-B paper disk diffusion in accordance with NCCLS standards was employed for drug sensitivity tests.RESULTS July 2006 June 2007 Clinical specimens were isolated various major G-Bacillus 707,Habitat of the top three are:Escherichia coli,Klebsiella pneumoniae,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,16 kinds of antibiotics resistance in varying degrees.three major imipenem Enterobacteriaceae bacteria resistant rates are 0.0%,Highly resistant to ampicillin,to cefoperazone/sulbactam,piperacillin/tazobactam resistance rate of 3.3% to 34.0%.In non-fermented bacteria,In addition to Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Aeromonas natural resistance to imipenem,The remaining resistance to imipenem rate of
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To probe into the status quo of the drug resistance and the medication of pseudomonas aeruginosa so as to provide references for the clinic in the controlling of pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.METHODS:The susceptive rates of the susceptibility test performed on 148 pseudomonas areuginosa infection cases confirmed in 2004 in our hospital were collected statistically and a whole range tracking statistics were conducted on the use of antibacterials.RESULTS:Pseudomonas aeruginosa had a strong drug resistance,which had a different degree of drug resistance to all antibacterials;Antibiotics like piperacillin/tazobactam,ceftazidime and carbopenem took the lead in terms of their susceptive rates,which stood at 75.68%,73.65%and 70.27%,respectively;The cross resistances of the third generation cephalosporins and the compound agents of the third generation cephalosporins and their enzyme inhibitor were serious and which kept increasing rapidly;The adoption rates for the susceptive kinds were less than 50%before the susceptibility test.CONCLUSION:An effective way to control pseudomonas aeruginosa infection is to conduct strain culture and isolation and perform susceptibility test as early as possible.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To understand the antibiotic resistance of Pseudemonas aeruginosa isolated from ICU and give advices to clinicians.METHODS The antibiotic susceptibility of P.aeruginosa isolated from ICU to 12 kinds of antibiotics were tested by disc diffusion method.RESULTS The antibiotic susceptibility of 472 P.aeruginosa strains to imipenem,piperacillin/sulbactam,piperacillin,amikacin,ceftazidime,tobramycin,cefepime,ciprofloxacin,ceftriaxone,gentimicin,aztreonam and cefotaxime were 82.2%,74.94%,69.92%,64.87%,59.95%,52.93%,49.88%,49.65%,44.50%,41.92%,38.17%,and 35.60%,respectively.CONCLUSIONS P.aeruginosa isolated from ICU of our hospital is suscepitable to imipenem,piperacillin/sulbactam,piperacillin,amikacin and the cephalosporins,but show lower susceptibility to other antibiotics.
