摘要
Purpose: To investigate the epidemiological features of Klebsiella pneumoniae infection of the hepatobiliary system of patients in Methods: This retrospective study was conducted from January to December 2019 in Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital. Patients for whom K. pneumoniae was isolated from the hepatobiliary system were considered for inclusion. The clinical features and genetic analyses were conducted to explore the epidemiological characteristics. Results: A total of 88 cases were enrolled, including 69 cases of hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (hvKP) and 19 cases of classical K. pneumoniae (cKP). Community-acquired infections, fever, liver abscess, and C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) levels were significantly higher, while biliary tract disease was lower in the hvKP group compared with the cKP group. Among the 69 hvKP infections, 61 developed a liver abscess. Community-acquired infections, fever, and CRP and PCT levels were higher, whereas biliary tract disease and malignancy were lower in the liver abscess group compared with the non-liver abscess group. All strains were susceptible to the majority of antibiotics tested. All hvKP strains possessed the blaSHV, oqxA, oqxB and fosA resistance genes. K1 and K2 accounted for 78% of hvKP strains. K1 strains belonged to sequence types ST23 and ST700, whereas K2 strains belonged to ST65, ST86 and ST5212. K1 isolates possessed the most virulence determinants, followed by K2 and non-K1/K2 isolates. K2 isolates lacked the allS gene, which was rare in non K1/K2 isolates, but present in most K1 isolates. The mceG gene was only detected in K1 isolates. AllS and virulence determinants were significantly more prevalent in the liver abscess group than in the non-liver abscess group. Conclusion: The prevalence of hvKP among K. pneumoniae infections of the hepatobiliary system is high in Yantai, China. Greater vigilance of hvKP infection is required in clinical and microbiological laboratories.
