肠杆菌目细菌产耐碳青霉烯酶的基因分型检测方法进展

碳青霉烯类耐药肠杆菌科细菌（CRE）已成为全球性的公共卫生问题。有文献报道由CRE引起的感染，尤其是血流感染，会导致患者死亡率较高，为临床治疗带来了极大的挑战。肠杆菌科细菌耐碳青霉烯类药物的主要机制是细菌产生了不同型别的耐碳青霉烯类水解酶。目前只有少数几种新型抗菌药物可以用于CRE的治疗如头孢他啶/阿维巴坦，但头孢他啶/阿维巴坦对持有金属β内酰胺酶的CRE没有活性，所以快速、准确地检测CRE菌株所产碳青霉烯酶种类，对临床合理选择抗菌药物至关重要。本文就目前检测肠杆菌科细菌耐碳青霉烯类药物的基因分型实验方法的优缺点进行总结分析。     

The relationship between nasal and conjunctival cultures of antimicrobial-resistant isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

PurposeNasal screening is performed to avoid the complications of postoperative surgical site infections (SSI), especially those due to antimicrobial-resistant species such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). This study examined the relationship between bacterial isolates from the conjunctiva and the nasal cavity.MethodsAll patients were diagnosed with ocular surface infections, and the organisms in the conjunctiva and the nasal cavity were isolated. We investigated the relationship of the following antimicrobial-resistant bacteria between the conjunctiva and the nose: MRSA, methicillin-resistant CNS (MRCNS), levofloxacin-resistant (LVFX-R) Corynebacterium spp. Data were analyzed using Fisher’s exact test, and the odds ratio was examined.ResultsThis study included 188 eyes of 188 subjects (87 males and 101 females; mean age 58.5 years, range 11–97 years). MRSA (4 eyes), MRCNS (29 eyes), and LVFX-R Corynebacterium spp. (41 eyes) were identified from the conjunctiva, and MRSA (6 eyes), MRCNS (38 eyes), and LVFX-R Corynebacterium spp. (41 eyes) were identified from the nasal cavity. There was a significant relationship detected between the conjunctiva and the nose for MRSA, MRCNS, and LVFX-R Corynebacterium spp. MRSA displayed high sensitivity (0.750, 95% confidence interval [CI]; 0.301 to 0.987) and specificity (0.984, 95% CI; 0.953 to 0.996) in nasal cavity cultures, and the odds ratio was 181.00 times (95% CI; 18.41 to 2320).ConclusionThis study showed a significant relationship between conjunctival and nasal cultures of MRSA, MRCNS, and LVFX-R Corynebacterium spp., suggesting that nasal cavity culture is a potentially useful screening method for detecting resistant bacteria, especially MRSA, in the conjunctiva.     

Effect of chlorhexidine digluconate on antimicrobial activity,cell viability and physicochemical properties of three endodontic sealers

ObjectiveAssess the biological and physicochemical properties of AH Plus, BioRoot RCS and Pulp Canal Sealer (PCS) leachates with and without chlorhexidine (CHX).MethodsThe sealers were studied in no contact and 1-minute contact with CHX. For biological properties (antibacterial activity and cytotoxicity), leachates were formed in saline of freshly mixed, 1-, 7- and 28 days set sealers. The antibacterial properties of sealer leachates were investigated for planktonic and biofilm growth of E. faecalis, S. mutans, S.epidermidis and S.aureus. The 3-(4,5 dimethylthiazolyl-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was used to evaluate murine fibroblast cell viability after exposure to the leachates. The physical properties (water uptake, sorption, solubility, porosity, surface characteristics) of sealers and the pH of the immersion liquid (saline or distilled water) were also assessed over a 28-days period.ResultsCHX improved the antibacterial properties of the sealer leachates and reduced cell viability for all sealer leachates, except for freshly mixed PCS. BioRoot RCS leachates presented the highest antibacterial properties and cell viability with and without CHX contact. PCS was the material most affected by CHX in terms of physical properties, whereas for AH Plus, solubility was increased. CHX did not affect the physical properties of BioRoot RCS, except for solubility that was decreased. CHX contact did not change sealers’ alkalinity in distilled water whereas it increased it for AH Plus and BioRoot RCS in saline.SignificanceCHX improved the antibacterial efficacy of sealer leachates and either compromised or did not affect cell viability. CHX affected to various extent sealers’ physicochemical properties.     

肝移植围手术期腹腔与胸腔感染病原学分析

目的探究肝移植术后腹、胸腔感染常见病原菌分布及耐药情况。 方法回顾性分析首都医科大学附属北京朝阳医院肝胆外科2011年1月至2017年12月343例行同种异体原位肝移植术受者临床资料，分析围手术期腹腔和胸腔感染情况、常见病原菌及耐药情况。腹、胸腔感染常见病原菌分布比较采用卡方检验，P<0.05为差异有统计学意义。 结果343例肝移植受者中，围手术期48例单独发生腹腔感染，61例单独发生胸腔感染，10例同时发生腹、胸腔感染，15例因感染导致死亡。发生腹腔感染的受者腹腔引流液共培养出106株病原菌，屎肠球菌、鲍曼不动杆菌和溶血葡萄球菌为最常见的病原菌，分别占19.8%(21/106)、15.1%(16/106)和11.3%(12/106)。发生胸腔感染的受者胸腔引流液共培养出99株病原菌，鲍曼不动杆菌、铜绿假单胞菌和肺炎克雷伯菌为最常见的病原菌，分别占26.3%(26/99)、18.2%(18/99)和17.2%(17/99)。腹、胸腔感染常见病原菌(鲍曼不动杆菌、屎肠球菌、溶血葡萄球菌、铜绿假单胞菌和肺炎克雷伯菌)感染分布差距均有统计学意义(χ²＝3.92、135.62、162.14、11.09和6.81，P均<0.05)。药敏试验结果示鲍曼不动杆菌对青霉素类、喹诺酮类和碳青霉烯类抗生素均已耐药(>90%)，仅对替加环素较为敏感(27%)；铜绿假单胞菌对碳青霉烯类和替加环素耐药率最低(11%)；肺炎克雷伯菌对阿米卡星和替加环素耐药率最低(6%)；革兰阳性球菌(屎肠球菌和溶血葡萄球菌)对替考拉宁、万古霉素和替加环素最为敏感；真菌对氟康唑最敏感。 结论肝移植术后围手术期腹、胸腔感染发生率均较高，且病原学分布各有特点，术后应积极反复进行相关病原学检查，并根据药敏试验结果合理使用抗生素。     

Fifty shades of graft: How to improve the efficacy of faecal microbiota transplantation for decolonization of antibiotic-resistant bacteria

Background

Spontaneous decolonization of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) takes time: approximately 25% after 30 days for carbapenem-producing Enterobacteriaceae or extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae. Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been proposed as a new strategy to promote decolonization in order to reduce the risk of superinfection due to these ARB. This paper discusses the literature on the use of FMT for this indication, and the improvement levers available to promote its efficacy.
