Acinetobacter baumannii has often been associated with colonization and/or infection in neonatal intensive care units (NICU). This study describes a clonal spread of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CRAB) isolates in an NICU. In total, 21 CRAB isolates were collected from premature newborns. Only polymyxin B was active against such isolates. Nineteen CRAB isolates were clonally related (Cluster C, which belonged to worldwide-disseminated ST1). All newborns had peripheral access and had received β-lactam therapy previously. The implementation of strict infection control measures was of fundamental importance to eradicate the clonal type in the study hospital.
鲍曼不动杆菌常与新生儿重症监护病房(NICU)的定植和/或感染有关。本研究描述了 NICU 中碳青霉烯类耐药鲍曼不动杆菌(CRAB)分离株的克隆传播。共从早产儿中收集了 21 株 CRAB 分离株。只有多粘菌素 B 对这些分离株有效。19 株 CRAB 分离株具有克隆相关性(聚类 C,属于全球传播的 ST1)。所有新生儿均有外周通路,且此前均接受过β-内酰胺类治疗。实施严格的感染控制措施对于在研究医院根除该克隆类型至关重要。
