A point-prevalence survey of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in two different cities in Kuwait and Nigeria

Background: The family Enterobacteriaceae belongs to the order Enterobacterales, a large diverse group of Gramnegative, facultatively anaerobic bacteria that sometimes cause multidrug-resistant infections which treatment options are often challenging. They are the leading cause of nosocomial bloodstream infection (BSI) and urinary tract infections (UTI). The objective of the study was to carry out a point-prevalence survey of antimicrobial resistance and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) clinical isolates in two hospitals in Kuwait and Nigeria. Methodology: Clinically significant bacterial isolates of patients from Kuwait and Nigeria, identified by VITEK-2 and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry analysis were studied. Susceptibility testing of selected antibiotics was performed using E-test and broth dilution methods. Genes encoding carbapenemase, ß-lactamases, and extended-spectrum ßlactamases (ESBLs) were detected by conventional PCR and sequencing, and whole genome sequencing (WGS) analyses. Results: Of 400 isolates from Kuwait and Nigeria, 188 (47.0%) and 218 (54.5%) were Escherichia coli and 124 (31.0%) and 116 (29.0%) Klebsiella pneumoniae, respectively. The prevalence of CRE was 14.0% in Kuwait and 8.0% in Nigeria. The resistance rates of CRE isolates against colistin and tigecycline in Kuwait were 6.6% versus 25.0%, and in Nigeria were 14.2% versus 14.2%, respectively. blaOXA-181 gene was the commonest in CRE isolates in Kuwait and blaNDM-7 in Nigeria. The commonest ESBL gene among the CRE isolates was blaCTX-M-15 in both countries. AmpC resistance genes were present in only Kuwait isolates and mediated by blaEBC, blaCIT and blaDHA. WGS analysis of 12 selected CRE isolates with carbapenem MICs>32µg/ml but no detectable genes from conventional PCR, revealed the presence of multidrug efflux pump genes such as major facilitator superfamily antibiotic efflux pump and resistance-nodulation-cell division antibiotic efflux pump groups. Conclusion: The prevalence of CRE was higher among isolates from Kuwait than Nigeria and the genes encoding resistance in CRE were different. The presence of efflux pump was a main mechanism of resistance in most of the Nigerian CRE isolates.

Objective To investigate the possession of ultrasound equipment and use of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in emergency department of tertiary hospitals in China to figure out the present condition of POCUS in the emergency department. Methods Questionnaire survey was performed through the internet, which included equipment possession, usage, and the sterile technique of the probe in the emergency department of tertiary hospitals. Results Between September and December in 2018, a total of 2 994 questionnaires link was clicked, and 718 survey responses were collected. After removing duplicated and non-tertiary hospitals questionnaires, the final questionnaire survey covered 300 tertiary hospitals, of which 250 were tertiary A hospitals (83.3%). The number of emergency department which own bedside ultrasound machine was 173 (57.7%), 40.6% (122) of the departments had only one ultrasonic machine. The main sources of equipment were new bought machines (119, 68.8%), given (38, 22.0%) or rented old machines from the ultrasound department (42, 24.3%). None of the emergency physicians in 92 (30.7%) departments mastered the POCUS skills, and 52.7% of the response hospital had less than a quarter emergency physicians grasp the skills. Fees of the POCUS could be charged in 52 (30.1%) of them. The main methods to clean or sterilize the probes were to wipe the probe by cleaning dry paper (97, 56.1%), sterile wet paper (69, 39.9%) or special probe disinfector (23, 13.3%), and used probe protective sleeve and sterile gel (12, 6.9%) as necessary; 79 (45.7%) departments had no conventional probe disinfection measures. When the ultrasonic was used to guide the punctures, the prevention of infection policies were the sterile gloves and saline (106, 61.3%), disposable probe protective sleeve and sterile gel (55, 31.8%). Conclusions The propagation of POCUS in emergency department is needed to develop in tertiary hospitals in China. The right way to clean the probes need to be emphasized.

Methods With bedside investigation and medical case review,one day every year was selected as the day of investigation to survey the healthcare-associated infections in our hospital during 2014-2016. Data of operative incision, infection condition, the usage of anti-bacterial agents and bacteria detection were collected and organized for further study. Results A total of 2 285 patients were investigated during 2014 to 2016, in which nosocomial infection was found in 55 cases. The total prevalence of healthcare-associated infections was 2.41%. The prevalence rates of healthcare-associated infections in each year were 2.62%,2.63% and 2.05% respectively,and no significant differences between them(χ2=0.750,P>0.05).In the three years, the highest prevalence rates were found in Department of Cardiac Surgery(13.79%),Department of Cardiac Surgery(7.48%) and Department of Endocrine (7.41%) respectively. The lower respiratory tract infection was the main infection site of nosocomial infection (61.11%-78.95%), followed by upper respiratory tract infection, urinary tract infection and blood infection. In 2014-2016, pathogenic detection rates for specimens were 77.78%, 85.71% and 88.89% from patients with nosocomial infection (χ2=0.735,P>0.05). Forty-five strains of pathogen were isolated from 2014 to 2016. The main pathogen was the gram-negative bacteria,and 32 strains were isolated during the three years,which accounted for 71.11%. Six strains of gram-positive bacteria were isolated,which accounted for 13.33%.Seven strains of fungus were isolated,which accounted for 15.56%. The predominant pathogens were Klebsiella pneumonia (10 isolates), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (8 isolates) and Acinetobacter baumannii (5 isolates). The antibiotic utilization rates were 28.40%, 29.17% and 23.74% respectively from 2014 to 2016 (χ2=7.175,P<0.05). In the three years, most of antibiotics were used therapeutically, accounting for 83.39%,14.17% received for prophylactic use,and 2.44% received for both prophylactic use and treatment (χ2=29.151,P<0.05). The rates of bacteria detection in patients who received therapeutic use were 77.02%, 74.42% and 75.77% respectively(χ2=0.306,P>0.05).Conclusion The prevalence of healthcare-associated infection of Tianjin Chest Hospital is maintained at a stable level.The monitoring and prevention of key departments,sites and predominant pathogens should be strengthen, and effective measures for preventing and controlling nosocomial infection should be formulated scientifically,so as to reduce the incidence of nosocomial infection.

Objective To investigate college students' awareness and cognition of 84 shared courses on the Internet and analyze the discrepancies between different ethnicity and majors in Xinjiang Medical University. Methods Purposive sampling was adopted with questionnaire of 1 448 students of 26 classes in Xinjiang Medical University. The survey aimed to investigate students' awareness and cognition of these In- ternet courses. Obtained data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 13.0, and the test level α=0.05. Result The hits of preventative medicine, Chinese medicine, clinical medicine and pharmacy were 19.0%, 33.3%, 35.7% and 11.9% respectively. Among the courses whose hits exceeded 50,000, clinical medicine accounted for 50%, preventive medicine for 21.4%, Chinese medicine and pharmacy for 14.3% respectively, there being no significant difference in overall hits (P>0.05). 90.1% of the surveyed students knew shared courses on the Internet, there being no difference between gender, ethnicity and profession (P>0.05). 89.8% had an accurate understanding of the concept of shared courses on the Internet, there being differences between gender and major ( χ2gender=11.013, P=0.026; χ2major=136.08, P=0.000) without significant differences in ethnicity ( χ2=11.378, P=0.497). 71.9% of the students used shared courses on the Internet as reference resources for the course study, 46.6% for the learning content, 35.5%for the understanding of other resources related to the course, 30.1% for lab-class and exercises, 10% for discussion on online course forum. The Han and Kazak students used the courses as a study, experiment and exercise tool, while the Uyghur and Kazak mainly used these for learning and discussion on the forum, there being differences in ethnicity ( χ2=26.889, P=0.001); the usage rate of the courses of preventive medicine students is higher, whereas pharmacy students relatively low, there being significant differences in major ( χ2=38.01, P=0.004). The Kazakh and Uygur students mainly used the courses to formulate learning plans, and the Han students to learn the current curriculum. 44.7% of preventive medicine students used the courses to improve their abilities, which was significantly higher than those of other majors. Only 18.4% and 1% of pharmacy students used the courses to formulate learning plans and to improve their abilities, which were both lower than those of other majors, showing ethnic and professional differences ( χ2ethnic=37.654, P=0.001; χ2major=73.68, P=0.000). Conclusion Students' awareness of shared courses on the Internet is high and their cognition is accurate. However, there are differences in the ways and purposes of the employment of the courses between different ethnicity and majors. The main reason may be related to major, the quality of the courses, as well as the lack of effec-tive supervision and evaluation system, suggesting that the management department in our university should strengthen the supervision and evaluation of the courses and give full play to the important role of shared courses on the Internet.

OBJECTIVE To understand the status of nosocomial infection(NI) and antibiotic use in various scale hospitals,and provide the evidence for targeted monitoring.METHODS All inpatients were requested to make a prevalence survey of NI and antibiotic use in 63 hospitals by bed-visiting and patients′ medical records checking.RESULTS Of the 34 840 patients investigated in 63 hospitals,the NI rate was 3.7%.The most common NI site was lower respiratory tract.The general ICU had the highest NI rate(35.5%).Gram-negative bacilli were the major pathogens in NI,the most common pathogen was Pseudomonas aeruginosa.The fungi accounted for 18.6%.CONCLUSIONS To effectively prevent and control NI,it should take some measures,such as enhancing the doctors′ diagnostic level of the NI,reducing the rate of NI misdiagnosis,monitoring the departments with the high NI rate,strengthening the rational antibiotic usage,and raising the pathogen detection rate.
