Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the intestinal colonization and infection characteristics of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) of active surveillance in neurology intensive care unit (NICU) patients and then provide risk factors for intestinal colonization and nosocomial infection.

Methods

A retrospective case-control study was based on the relevant statistic data on NICU patients in The First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yet-Sen University from 1st January 2020 to 31st December 2022.

Results

The positive rate of intestinal CRE active surveillance in NICU patients was 32.34% (54/167), and the admission rate was 2.40% (4/167) and the hospital acquired rate was 29.94% (50/167). Of the 54 CRE, 90.74% (49/54) were Klebsiell a pneumoniae producing Class A serine KPC carbapenemase. Among the 167 patients, the proportion of CRE infection was 16.77% (28/167). Intestinal CRE colonization was an independent risk factor for CRE infection in NICU patients.

Conclusions

The positive rate of active screening for intestinal CRE in NICU wards is high. The longer the patients stay in the ICU, the higher risk of CRE detection. Positive intestinal surveillance of CRE is an independent risk factor for nosocomial infection, and early detection of CRE through active surveillance and infection control measures can help reduce the risk of nosocomial transmission.

Key words: neurology intensive care unit, carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, intestinal active surveillance
