Objective:The clinical characteristics and microbiological data of patients with K.pneumoniae bloodstream infections(BSI)from January 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed to study the molecular epidemiology of Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP).We also aimed to identify the risk factors for the development of CRKP BSI.Methods:This retrospective study was conducted at Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2018 to December 2020.The date of non-duplicate K.pneumoniae isolates isolated from blood samples was identified using the microbiology laboratory database.The data from patients diagnosed with K.pneumoniae BSI were collected and analyzed.Results:From 2018 to 2020,there were 510 non-duplicated K.pneumoniae blood isolates,mainly distributed in the intensive care unit(ICU)(28.4％),that were identified in our research.These cases included 77 strains of CRKP and 433 strains of carbapenem-susceptible K.pneumoniae(CSKP).The resistance rate of K.pneumoniae to meropenem and imipenem increased from 11.2％in 2018 to 27.1％in 2020.Moreover,Compared with CSKP,all CRKP isolates showed multi-resistance to tested antibiotics.The phylogenetic analysis showed that the CRKP isolates could be grouped into four major clades,and multilocus sequence typing revealed that the isolates had considerable clonality.Overall,8 sequence types(STs)of CRKP were detected,of which ST11 comprised the majority and clustered into clade 3.The most prevalent carbapenemase gene was blaKPC(87％)among the CRKP isolates,followed by blaNDM(9.1％)and blaIMP(1.3％).A total of 74(16.6％)patients with CRKP BSI and 373(83.4％)patients with CSKP BSI were categorized as the case and control groups.The mortality in the CRKP group was 44.6％,and 11.5％in CSKP group(P＜0.001).A multivariate analysis that a long hospital stay before BSI(OR=1.42,95％CI 1.02-4.31,P=0.011),ICU hospitalization history(OR=3.30,95％CI 1.35-8.05,P=0.002),and prior use of carbapenems(OR=3.33,95％CI 1.29-7.27,P=0.001)and antifungals(OR=2.81,95％CI 1.24-6.04,P＜0.001)were independent risk factors for CRKP BSI.Conclusion:ST11 is the predominant type of CRKP mediating inter-hospital transmission,and blaKPC is the main carbapenemase gene harboured by CRKP blood isolates.ICU stay,prolonged hospitalization before BSI,and prior use of carbapenems and antifungals were independent risk factors for acquiring CRKP BSI.Our study may provide insights into early infection control practices.
