Colistin is a last-resort treatment option for infections with multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. However, colistin resistance is increasing.
A six-month prospective matched case-control study was performed in which 22 Dutch laboratories with 32 associated hospitals participated. Laboratories were invited to send a maximum of five colistin-resistant or (COLR-EK) isolates and five colistin-susceptible isolates (COLS-EK) to the reference laboratory, matched for patient location, material of origin and bacterial species. Epidemiological/clinical data were collected and included in the analysis. Characteristics of COLR-EK/COLS-EK isolates were compared using logistic regression with correction for variables used for matching. Forty-six ColR-EK/ColS-EK pairs were analysed by next-generation sequencing (NGS) for whole-genome multi-locus sequence typing and identification of resistance genes, including genes. To identify chromosomal mutations potentially leading to colistin resistance, NGS reads were mapped against gene sequences of and .
In total, 72 COLR-EK/COLS-EK pairs (75% and 25% ) were included. Twenty-one percent of COLR-EK patients had received colistin, in contrast to 3% of COLS-EK patients (OR > 2.9). Of COLR-EK isolates, five contained and two . One isolate lost after repeated sub-culturing, but retained colistin resistance. Among 46 sequenced COLR-EK isolates, genetic diversity was large and 19 (41.3%) isolates had chromosomal mutations potentially associated with colistin resistance.
Colistin resistance is present but uncommon in the Netherlands and caused by the gene in a minority of COLR-EK isolates. There is a need for surveillance of colistin resistance using appropriate susceptibility testing methods.
对于多重耐药革兰氏阴性菌感染,多黏菌素是一种最后的治疗选择。然而,多黏菌素耐药性正在增加。
进行了一项为期6个月的前瞻性配对病例对照研究,有22家荷兰实验室及32家相关医院参与。邀请各实验室向参考实验室最多送检5株耐多黏菌素分离株(COLR-EK)和5株对多黏菌素敏感的分离株(COLS-EK),这些菌株在患者位置、来源材料和细菌种类方面进行匹配。收集流行病学/临床数据并纳入分析。使用逻辑回归对COLR-EK/COLS-EK分离株的特征进行比较,并对用于匹配的变量进行校正。通过下一代测序(NGS)对46对ColR-EK/ColS-EK进行全基因组多位点序列分型和耐药基因鉴定,包括基因。为了鉴定可能导致多黏菌素耐药的染色体突变,将NGS读数与和的基因序列进行比对。
总共纳入了72对COLR-EK/COLS-EK(75%和25%)。21%的COLR-EK患者接受过多黏菌素治疗,相比之下,COLS-EK患者中这一比例为3%(比值比>2.9)。在COLR-EK分离株中,5株含有,2株含有。一株分离株在反复传代培养后失去,但仍保留多黏菌素耐药性。在46株测序的COLR-EK分离株中,遗传多样性很大,19株(41.3%)分离株具有可能与多黏菌素耐药相关的染色体突变。
在荷兰存在多黏菌素耐药情况,但并不常见,少数COLR-EK分离株中的耐药是由基因引起的。需要使用适当的药敏试验方法对多黏菌素耐药性进行监测。
