Occurrence and Characteristics of Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Strains Isolated from Hospitalized Patients in Poland—A Single Centre Study
The global emergence and spread of genes responsible for the production of ESBL (extended-spectrum beta-lactamases) and carbapenemases in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates poses a serious threat to public health. The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze the frequency of occurrence and drug...

description | The global emergence and spread of genes responsible for the production of ESBL (extended-spectrum beta-lactamases) and carbapenemases in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates poses a serious threat to public health. The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze the frequency of occurrence and drug resistance of selected alarm agents isolated from patients of the specialist hospital in Wrocław. A total of 13,528 clinical materials collected from patients of a specialist hospital in Wrocław were analyzed in the period from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020. Overall, 3894 bacterial strains were isolated from clinical materials, including 416 K. pneumoniae isolates. K. pneumoniae that showed resistance to ETP (ertapenem) and/or MEM (meropenem) were tested using phenotypic tests for the detection of KPC (carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella), MBL (metallo-β-lactamase) and OXA-48 (oxacilinase-48) carbapenemases. In the case of a positive or doubtful result of the phenotypic test, immunochromatographic tests and the CarbaNP test were performed. In total, 58 K. pneumoniae isolates resistant to 1 or more carbapenem antibiotics were isolated. Of the 58 strains, 16 (27.6%) were isolated from rectal swabs conducted on CPE (carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae) carriers. In the case of CRE (carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae) K. pneumoniae, carbapenemases were detected in 28/58 (48.3%) isolates. Notably, 23/28 K. pneumoniae isolates produced MBL/NDM (New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase) (82.1%), 5/28 produced VIM (Verona-intergon-encoded metallo-β-lactamase) (14.3%), and one produced MBL/NDM + OXA-48. Carbapenemases were detected in 13 of 16 (81.3%) carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae isolates derived from rectal swabs. The significant participation of CRE and CPE isolates in the infections proves the need to test patients admitted to hospital wards for their status as a CPE carrier in order to limit the emergence of new epidemic outbreaks. |
