Drug resistance and molecular typing characteristics of Klebsiella pneumoniae in meat food and diarrhea samples in a local area

Journal Title: Shanghai Journal of Preventive Medicine - Year 2024, Vol 36, Issue 5

Abstract

Objective To determine the drug sensitivity and molecular typing characteristics of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from meat and diarrhea samples in a local area.Methods Seventy-one strains of K.pneumoniae were isolated from 118 meat food (chicken and pork) randomly sampled in the markets in Jinshan District, Shanghai, 2020‒2021, and 1 499 diarrhea samples from outpatient diarrhoea patients in hospitals in the same district. Then drug susceptibility testing was conducted by micro-broth dilution method, and sequence identity was determined by pulsed field gel electrophoresis(PFGE).Results The overall detection rate of K.pneumoniae in meat was 11.86% (14/118), with detection rate 20.93% (9/43) in chicken and 6.67% (5/75) in pork. The difference in detection between meats was statistically significant (χ2=5.317,P<0.05). The detection rate of K.pneumoniae in diarrhea samples was 3.80% (57/1 499). Furthermore, the isolated strains showed the highest resistance to ampicillin at 76.06%. The multi-drug resistant strains included 5 of human origin (8.77%) and 2 of foodborne origin (14.28%). Additionally, 1 foodborne imipenem-resistant strain was detected. A total of 71 strains of K.pneumoniae were found to have 70 banding types, with similarity ranging from 39.4% to 100%, suggesting genetic diversity.Conclusion K.pneumoniae isolated from foodborne and diarrhea samples showed multi-drug resistance in Jinshan District, . with scattered PFGE banding patterns. It is recommended to strengthen the monitoring of this pathogen in the population and animal food, and be alert to the emerging multi-drug resistant strains and risk of food chain transmission.
