Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) causes serious intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired infections, yet the mechanisms of microbiota-mediated colonization resistance remain unclear. We analyzed the gut microbiome and metabolic profiles of healthy individuals and ICU patients, distinguishing those with and without CRKP colonization. ICU patients showed distinct microbial communities compared to healthy controls, and CRKP-positive patients exhibited unique microbial and metabolic signatures. We demonstrated that a healthy gut microbiome is essential for providing resistance against CRKP colonization in antibiotic-perturbed mouse with fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). Both in vitro and in vivo experiments revealed that Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Bifidobacterium longum as significant contributors to the decolonization of CRKP. Furthermore, we showed that probiotic supplementation or FMT significantly improved CRKP colonization resistance. The findings highlight that a specific gut microbiome is essential for resisting CRKP colonization, and that targeted microbiome restoration may serve as a viable strategy to prevent CRKP colonization in ICU patients.
耐碳青霉烯类肺炎克雷伯菌(CRKP)会引发严重的重症监护病房(ICU)获得性感染,但微生物群介导的定植抗性机制仍不清楚。我们分析了健康个体和ICU患者的肠道微生物组及代谢谱,区分出有和没有CRKP定植的患者。与健康对照相比,ICU患者表现出不同的微生物群落,而CRKP阳性患者表现出独特的微生物和代谢特征。我们证明,在抗生素干扰的小鼠中,通过粪便微生物群移植(FMT),健康的肠道微生物组对于提供抵抗CRKP定植的能力至关重要。体外和体内实验均表明,植物乳杆菌和长双歧杆菌是CRKP去定植的重要贡献者。此外,我们表明补充益生菌或进行FMT可显著提高对CRKP定植的抗性。这些发现突出表明,特定的肠道微生物组对于抵抗CRKP定植至关重要,并且有针对性的微生物组恢复可能是预防ICU患者CRKP定植的可行策略。
