Abstract
Objects
The retrospective study aimed to determine the prevalence rate and antimicrobial susceptibility of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs)–producing Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli in 2013–2017 at a single center in China.
Methods
Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli data were collected from the microbiological laboratory. VITEK 2 compact system was used for the identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. ESBL status was determined as per the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) protocols microdilution method.
Results
Among a total of 2774 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae and 2154 strains of Escherichia coli, 15.79% and 36.86% were found to be ESBL producers, respectively. In all patients infected by ESBLs-producing strains, those over 60 years accounted for the largest proportion. Infection by ESBLs-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae was more common in male, while that by ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli was more common in female. Urine and respiratory secretions were the most common sources of ESBLs-producing strains; however, ESBLs-producing strains from urine had been significantly declined. No carbapenem-resistant isolate was found, and all ESBLs-producing strains were resistant to ceftriaxone, aztreonam, and piperacillin. There were no differences in resistance rates between ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae to ceftazidime and cefepime; however, ESBLs-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae showed higher resistance rates to piperacillin/tazobactam, amikacin, gentamicin, and co-trimoxazole compared with ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli.
Conclusion
Different ESBLs-producing organisms have their own epidemiological characteristics, and the resistance of ESBLs-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli is different even to the same antibiotics. Therefore, it is important to continuously monitor the status of ESBLs-producing organisms, and an improved antimicrobial stewardship and infection control are much required.
