The clinical, microbiological and molecular epidemiological characteristics of Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPN) caused pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) in Inner Mongolia, China were analysed in this study. The results showed a higher detection rate of KPN in the puncture fluid compared to blood and urine samples. The dominant KPN sequence type (ST) in the Baotou region was found to be ST23. This research provides valuable insights into the virulence and treatment of PLA caused by KPN.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyse the clinical, microbiological and molecular epidemiological characteristics of patients with pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPN) in Inner Mongolia, China.Methods: The KPN isolates from 78 KPN-PLA cases admitted to a tertiary teaching hospital in Baotou, Inner Mongolia, from 2016 to 2019 were studied systematically and described comprehensively. The virulence factors, drug resistance and sequence types of KPN in different samples were identified by a wire-drawing test, polymerase chain reaction, a drug susceptibility test and multi-site sequence typing.Results: There were more male than female KPN-PLA patients (P<0.05). The mortality rate was 2.5%, and KPN-PLA was significantly associated with diabetes mellitus (P<0.05). Most of the KPN isolates in the puncture fluid of patients with KPN-PLA were hypervirulent KPN (HvKP). The positive rate of the KPN-PLA specimens was higher than that of the blood and urine specimens. The KPN isolates of the urine specimens had higher drug resistance than the other two (P<0.05). The hypermucoviscous KPN, aerobic actin (aero) (+), K1 and K2 serotypes accounted for 80.8%, 89.7%, 56.4% and 26.9%, respectively. In addition to ironB (3.8%), the detection rates of virulence factors rmpA, irp2, entB, iucD, aero, wcaG, iutA, kfu, ybtA, iron, fimH and mrkD were higher (69.2%- 100.0%). The positive rate of KPN isolates of the KPN-PLA puncture fluid was higher than that of the blood and urine samples (P<0.05). In addition, ST23 was found to be the dominant ST (32.1%) of KPN-PLA in the Baotou region. Conclusion: In the KPN-PLA specimens, the KPN isolates were more virulent than those in the blood and urine specimens, and a carbapenem-resistant HvKP strain emerged. This research will help improve the understanding of HvKP and provide useful suggestions for KPN-PLA treatments.
