RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the identification rate of separating gel or HB&L pretreatment methods of MALDI-TOF-MS, thereby to provide a new idea for the rapid and accurate identification of pathogens of bloodstream infections in daily clinic practice.Methods:A total of 149 alarmed positive blood culture samples of single bacterial infection by routine laboratory methods were collected between January to December 2020 from the Sixth Medical Center, Chinese PLA General Hospital. Samples were pretreated with the separation gel accelerating tube method or the HB&L microbial culture system, followed by direct MALDI-TOF MS bacterial identification, the identification rates of the two pretreatment methods were compared and results from the traditional method were used as the standard control.Results:Among the 149 positive blood culture samples, 47.0% (70/149) were gram-negative (G -) bacteria and 53.0% (79/149) were gram-positive (G +) bacteria. Identification rate of G -strain level was 78.6% (55/70) by serum separation gel coagulation tube method and 91.4% (64/70) by HB&L microbial culture system, the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.033). Identification rate of G +strain levels was 73.4% (58/79) by serum separation gel coagulation tube method and 87.3% (69/79) by HB&L microbial culture system, the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.028). For G -bacteria in the range of 3.000-2.300, the identification rate was 22.9% (16/70) by serum separation gel accelerating tube method and 38.6% (27/70) by the HB&L microbial culture system, the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.044). For G +bacteria in the range of 3.000-2.300, the identification rate was 19.0% (15/79) by serum separation gel accelerating tube method and 34.2% (27/79) by the HB&L microbial culture system, the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.031). Conclusion:The identification rate of HB&L microbial culture system is higher than that of serum separation gel coagulation tube method. Direct MALDI-TOF MS identification of pathogenic bacteria in positive blood culture samples after pretreatment is feasible in daily clinical practice.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the clinical distribution situation and drug resistance change of Klebsiella pneumoniae in the Navy General Hospital during 2011‐2015 in order to provide reference for rational use of antibacterial agents in clinic .Methods The clinically isolated Klebsiella pneumoniae in this hospital during 2011‐2015 were selected and performed the analysis on the de‐tection rate ,department distribution ,specimens source ,resistance of antibacterial drugs and change trend of resistance to carbapen‐em antibacterial drugs .Results The number the detected Klebsiella pneumoniae strains and isolation rate during 2011 -2015 showed an increasing trend year by year ,the specimens sources were mainly from 10 departments of intensive care units(ICU) ,hy‐perbaric oxygen department ,respiratory department ,radiation oncology department ,kidney disease department ,etc .;the submitted specimens were dominated by sputum and urine ,accounting for 59 .7% and 21 .4% of submitted specimens ;the drug resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae during 2011‐2015 showed the increasing trend year by year .Klebsiella pneumoniae had higher resistance rates to piperacillin ,ampicillin ,ampicillin/sulbactam and cefuroxime and had lower resistance rate to amikacin ,imipenem ,meropen‐em and tobramycin ;the resistance rates to imipenem and meropenem were increased year by year ,and pan‐drug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae showed a rapidly rising trend .Conclusion The drug resistance of Klebsiella pneumonia is serious ,especially carbapene‐ms‐resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is significantly increased in the recent years ,therefore its drug resistance monitoring should be strengthened for guiding rational drug use in clinic .
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the distribution of pathogens in intensive care units (ICU ) and their drug resistance . Methods 668 strains of pathogens isolated from specimens from ICU were collected .VITEK 2 Compact automated microbial iden-tification and susceptibility analyzer was utilized to conduct the antimicrobial susceptibility tests .Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion suscep-tibility test(K-B) was employed to conduct the antimicrobial susceptibility test for Gram-negative bacteria cefoperazone/sulbactam . Results 668 strains of pathogens were derived from sputum [434 (65 .0% )] ,blood[83(12 .0% )] ,urine[88(13 .0% )] ,drainage [14(2 .0% )] ,secretions[14(2 .0% )] and other[35(5 .2% )] .Acinetobacter baumannii was the major detected pathogen in Gram-negative bacteria and the resistance rates were over 50% toward other drug excepting levofloxacin ,sulfamethoxazole and amikacin . Staphylococcus Staphylococcus was the major detected pathogen in Gram-positive bacteria and it showed good sensitivity toward ni-trofurantoin ,quinupristin/dalfopristin ,tigecycline and vancomycin .Candida albicans demonstrated the highest detection rate in fun-gi .Conclusion ICU pathogens have drug resistance in serious condition ,and pathogens and drug resistance monitoring should be strengthened .
