Abstract

Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) isolates are recognized as one of the most severe threats to public health. However, the population structure and genetic characteristics of CPE isolates among bloodstream infections (BSIs) are largely unknown. To address this knowledge gap, in this study, we included patients with clinically significant BSIs due to Enterobacterales isolates, recruited from 26 sentinel hospitals in China (2014–2015). CPE isolates were microbiologically and genomically characterized, including their susceptibility profiles, molecular typing, phylogenetic features, and genetic context analysis of carbapenemase-encoding genes. Of the 2569 BSI Enterobacterales isolates enrolled, 42 (1.6%) were carbapenemase-positive. Moreover, among the 2242 investigated isolates, 1111 (49.6%) extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing isolates were identified in Escherichia (E.coliKlebsiella (K.pneumoniaeProteus (P.mirabilis, and K. oxytoca. Whole genome sequencing analysis showed the clonal spread of K. pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-2-producing K. pneumoniae sequence type 11 (ST11) and New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-5-producing E. coli ST167 in our collection. Plasmid analysis revealed that carbapenemase-encoding genes were located on multiple plasmids. A high prevalence of biofilm-encoding type 3 fimbriae clusters and yesiniabactin-associated genes was observed in K. pneumoniae isolates. This work demonstrates the high prevalence of ESBLs and the wide dissemination of CPE among BSI isolates in China, which represent real clinical threats. Moreover, our findings first illustrate a more comprehensive genome scenario of CPE isolates among BSIs. The clonal spread of KPC-2-producing K. pneumoniae ST11 and NDM-5-producing E. coli ST167 needs to be closely monitored.
