METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study on Klebsiella pneumoniae non-duplicative isolates collected from patients admitted to a tertiary hospital in Bucharest, Romania, from January 2019 to December 2021. We evaluated AMR changes by comparing resistance between 2019 and the mean of 2020-2021.
RESULTS: The rates of AMR increased for third-generation cephalosporins, carbapenems, aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, and colistin and decreased for trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX), 45.7% in 2019 vs. 28.3% in 2021. A longer length of hospital stay (ꭓ2 = 49.68, p < 0.01); recent antibiotic consumption, RR = 1.38, 95% CI [1.21, 1.57]; and recent contact with hospital settings, RR = 1.54, 95% CI [1.32, 1.8] were risk factors for multidrug-resistant (MDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae.
CONCLUSIONS: The AMR of Klebsiella pneumoniae increased during 2020-2021 for most of the potential active antibiotics; only TMP/SMX resistance decreased, and it may represent a treatment option for CRKP or MDR Klebsiella pneumoniae infections. Decreasing the excessive use of antibiotics and the implementation of prevention and control measures in healthcare settings are mandatory for avoiding further increases in the AMR rate of Klebsiella pneumoniae.
方法:我们对从布加勒斯特三级医院住院的患者中收集的肺炎克雷伯菌非重复分离株进行了回顾性研究,罗马尼亚,从2019年1月到2021年12月。我们通过比较2019年的阻力和2020-2021年的平均值来评估AMR变化。
结果:第三代头孢菌素的AMR率增加,碳青霉烯类,氨基糖苷类,氟喹诺酮类药物,和粘菌素和减少甲氧苄啶/磺胺甲恶唑(TMP/SMX),2019年的45.7%与2021年28.3%。住院时间较长(
结论:对于大多数潜在的活性抗生素,肺炎克雷伯菌的AMR在2020-2021年期间增加;只有TMP/SMX耐药性下降,它可能代表CRKP或MDR肺炎克雷伯菌感染的治疗选择。为了避免肺炎克雷伯菌的AMR率进一步提高,必须减少抗生素的过度使用以及在医疗机构中实施预防和控制措施。
