The vector potential of houseflies (Musca domestica) for Klebsiella spp. was investigated. Klebsiella spp. (mostly Klebsiella pneumoniae) were isolated from 36.7% of hospital flies and 28.1% of infected wounds of patients. Antibiograms of Klebsiella spp. showed that 82.0% of isolates from hospital flies and 96.3% from infected wounds were resistant to four or more commonly used antimicrobials. In contrast, from the control group, only 8.7% klebsiella isolates showed similar antimicrobial resistance pattern (P less than 0.001). Similar strains of Klebsiella spp. were encountered among patients and hospital houseflies. The results indicate that flies in the hospital environs are potential vectors of hospital resistant strains of Klebsiella spp.
对家蝇(家蝇属)作为克雷伯菌属载体的可能性进行了调查。从36.7%的医院苍蝇和28.1%的患者感染伤口中分离出了克雷伯菌属(主要是肺炎克雷伯菌)。克雷伯菌属的抗菌谱显示,从医院苍蝇中分离出的菌株有82.0%、从感染伤口中分离出的菌株有96.3%对四种或更多常用抗菌药物耐药。相比之下,在对照组中,只有8.7%的克雷伯菌分离株表现出类似的抗菌耐药模式(P小于0.001)。在患者和医院家蝇中发现了相似的克雷伯菌属菌株。结果表明,医院环境中的苍蝇是克雷伯菌属医院耐药菌株的潜在载体。
