Abstract

Carbapenem-resistant (CRKP) has emerged as a major challenge for global healthcare systems. The objectives of this study were to determine the nosocomial spread of CRKP clones and analyse the molecular characteristics of CRKP in our hospital.

Ninety-eight non-duplicated clinical CRKP isolates were collected from March 2014–June 2015. Clinical, demographic and microbiological data of patients with CRKP were reviewed. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multi-locus sequence typing were applied to investigate the genetic relationship between the 98 isolates. Antibiotic resistance genes were identified by conventional PCR-sequencing.

PFGE patterns were grouped into 26 clusters. Two main PFGE clusters were identified: L (53 isolates, belonging to ST11) and N (11 isolates, belonging to ST11). The most dominant ST was ST11 (79 %, 77/98), followed by ST273 (5 %, 5/98). KPC-2 (=82) was the predominant carbapenemase followed by OXA-48 (=64). Fifty isolates (51 %, 50/98) harboured and simultaneously, and three of these isolates were detected with the third carbapenemase genes ( or ).

The clonal spread of ST11 expressing OXA-48, KPC-2 and CTX-M-14 β-lactamases was the cause of an outbreak of CRKP. To the best of our knowledge, a single strain harbouring A-, B- and D-class carbapenemase genes has not previously been identified. There is a high prevalence of plasmid-encoded KPC-2- and OXA-48-producing CRKP in our hospital; most isolates were members of ST11, which may be representative of a high-risk CRKP clone disseminating in central Taiwan.
