摘要

Seventy-three liver abscess isolates of serotype K1 Klebsiella pneumoniae from a nationwide collection in Korea were genotypically characterized using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and multilocus sequence typing. We found that serotype K1 K. pneumoniae strains that caused liver abscesses in Korea were genotypically related and that most were sequence type 23.

Clonal Dissemination of Multidrug-Resistant and Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Clonal Complex in a Chinese Hospital

Yi Wang, Mingxi Hua, Jingqiao Wang, Wen Xing, Jiatian Chen, Jingyuan Liu, Pengcheng Du

Summary: The emergence of high antimicrobial-resistant and hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) clones in clinics, including non-CC258 subgroups, has become a concern. A retrospective study in a Chinese hospital revealed the presence of CC15 hvKp isolates, which were carbapenem-resistant and carried virulence plasmids. The isolates belonged to four lineages, and the spread of virulence plasmids contributed to the emergence of putative hvKp sublineages. These findings underscore the importance of surveillance in hospitals to control the transmission of non-CC258 subgroups.

Ruptured Emphysematous Prostatic Abscess Caused by K1-ST23 Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Presenting as Brain Abscesses: A Case Report and Literature Review

Kensuke Konagaya, Hiroyuki Yamamoto, Tomoyuki Suda, Yusuke Tsuda, Jun Isogai, Hiroyuki Murayama, Yoshichika Arakawa, Hidemitsu Ogino

Summary: This article reports a case of ruptured emphysematous prostatic abscess (EPA) in a 69-year-old male with prediabetes, caused by a hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) K1-ST23 strain. The case presented with motor aphasia and various severe systemic pyogenic complications. Whole-body computed tomography (CT) and next-generation sequencing (NGS) were used for the detection of ruptured EPA and its systemic complications, as well as the identification of the infecting strain. The patient was successfully treated with aggressive antimicrobial therapy and multiple surgical procedures.

Serotype Distribution of Streptococcus pneumoniae Isolates Causing Invasive and Non-Invasive Infections Using Whole-Genome Sequencing in Ethiopia

Bekele Sharew, Feleke Moges, Gizachew Yismaw, Adane Mihret, Wondiwossen Abebe, Surafal Fentaw, Belay Tessema

Summary: This study revealed a shift in the distribution of non-vaccinated S. pneumoniae serotypes, with a reduced serotype coverage of PCV10 compared to PCV13. Continuous monitoring of serotype changes among all patients, along with assessing the impact and effectiveness of vaccines, is crucial for establishing prevention strategies and vaccine policies.

Increased clonal dissemination of OXA-232-producing ST15 Klebsiella pneumoniae in Zhejiang, China from 2018 to 2021

Yanyan Zhang, Xuemei Yang, Congcong Liu, Ling Huang, Lingbin Shu, Qiaoling Sun, Hongwei Zhou, Yonglu Huang, Chang Cai, Xiaoyan Wu, Sheng Chen, Rong Zhang

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence and characteristics of OXA-232 type carbapenemase in Zhejiang Province, China from 2018 to 2021. The results showed that OXA-232 is the most prevalent OXA-48-like derivative, and ST15 K. pneumoniae isolates are the major carriers. The transmission of ColKP3-type plasmid to E. coli highlighted the importance of understanding the transmission mechanism to prevent the spread of OXA-232 to other species.

Summary: After the introduction of extended-valency pneumococcal conjugate vaccines, the replacement with nonvaccine serotypes among invasive pneumococcal diseases varies by country. In South Korea, the most common nonvaccine serotype in pediatric IPD cases was 10A, with a significant increasing trend over the study period. Other nonvaccine serotypes showed a decreasing trend, with notable reductions in serotype 12F.

Emergence of K1 ST23 and K2 ST65 hypervirulent klebsiella pneumoniae as true pathogens with specific virulence genes in cryptogenic pyogenic liver abscesses Shiraz Iran

Maryam Sohrabi, Mahvash Alizade Naini, Alireza Rasekhi, Mana Oloomi, Farzad Moradhaseli, Abbas Ayoub, Abdollah Bazargani, Zahra Hashemizadeh, Fereshteh Shahcheraghi, Farzad Badmasti

Summary: Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae is becoming a major factor in pyogenic liver abscesses worldwide, but the role of virulence factors in pathogenicity is still unclear. This study analyzed the epidemiology of pyogenic liver abscesses in Iran and the clinical and microbiological characteristics of Klebsiella pneumoniae-related abscesses. It was found that hypervirulent strains were associated with cryptogenic abscesses, while classical strains were associated with non-cryptogenic abscesses. Hypervirulent strains showed lower antibiotic resistance and more virulence genes.

Clonal Dissemination of Clinical Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates Carrying fosA3 and blaKPC-2 Coharboring Plasmids in Shandong, China

Yingying Hao, Xuguang Zhao, Cui Zhang, Yuanyuan Bai, Zhen Song, Xinglun Lu, Ran Chen, Yaoyao Zhu, Yueling Wang

Summary: Treatment options for infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) are limited, leading to renewed interest in combination therapy involving fosfomycin. However, reports of fosfomycin-resistant K. pneumoniae are on the rise. Monitoring of strains such as ST11-KL64 and ST11-KL47, which show higher resistance and virulence, is crucial to prevent future dissemination of resistance.

Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat Analysis of Clonal Complex 17 Serotype III Group B Streptococcus Strains Causing Neonatal Invasive Diseases

Jen-Fu Hsu, Jang-Jih Lu, Chih Lin, Shih-Ming Chu, Lee-Chung Lin, Mei-Yin Lai, Hsuan-Rong Huang, Ming-Chou Chiang, Ming-Horng Tsai

Summary: In this study, a new approach using CRISPR and RFLP analyses was utilized to study 103 CC17/III GBS isolates causing neonatal invasive diseases. It was found that GBS isolates with different CRISPR-RFLP patterns exhibited significant differences in occurrences of severe sepsis and meningitis. These findings suggest that a specific CRISPR-RFLP pattern could potentially be used as a new biomarker to predict meningitis and illness severity in CC17/III GBS infections.

Summary: This study compared the immune responses elicited by different SARS-CoV-2 vaccination regimens and found that heterologous vaccination with AZD1222 / BNT162b2 and prior infection/vaccination with SARS-CoV-2 resulted in higher levels of neutralizing antibodies. Homologous vaccination with BNT162b2 / BNT162b2 was more efficient in generating spike-specific CD4' T-cell responses. Prior infection/vaccination resulted in more efficient immunity against the Delta variant compared to other homologous or heterologous vaccination regimens.

Breakthrough invasive fungal infection in patients with myeloid malignancy receiving posaconazole tablet prophylaxis: Clinical features, risk factors, and posaconazole profiles

Jin Yeong Hong, Cheol-In Kang, Jinyoung Yang, Jae-Hoon Ko, Kyungmin Huh, Sun Young Cho, Doo Ryeon Chung, Chul Won Jung, Kyong Ran Peck

Summary: Posaconazole delayed-release tablet prophylaxis is commonly used to prevent invasive fungal infection in acute myeloid leukemia patients undergoing chemotherapy. This study investigated breakthrough fungal infections in patients receiving posaconazole tablet prophylaxis, identifying risk factors and examining posaconazole profiles. Among the screened patients, breakthrough fungal infections occurred in 10 cases, leading to higher in-hospital mortality compared to non-infected patients. Risk factors for breakthrough fungal infection included prior hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, prolonged neutropenia, and low plasma posaconazole concentration. Therapeutic drug monitoring may be necessary for patients receiving posaconazole tablets.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the seroprevalence of measles and varicella zoster virus (VZV) among healthcare workers (HCW) and evaluate the concordance between self-reported history of previous disease or vaccination and seropositivity. A total of 10,278 HCWs underwent serologic tests for measles and 9,607 for VZV from 2017 to 2022. The overall seropositivity rates for measles and VZV were 78.1% and 92.8% respectively. Measles seropositivity declined gradually in HCWs born after 1985, while VZV seropositivity remained high in all birth cohorts. The self-reported vaccination history was not reliable for screening HCWs, with low negative predictive values.

Summary: Repeated vaccinations are necessary to achieve endemic phases, but individuals may hesitate to get vaccinated due to potential side effects. However, repeated vaccinations can lead to avoidance, impeding the establishment of endemic phases. Game theory and simulations show that a vaccination rate greater than 89% is required to achieve endemic phases.
