Objective To clarify the epidemiological characteristics, distribution of drug-resistant genes, and risk factors of multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (with a focus on Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli) infections in inpatients at Zhuhai Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine in 2024, and to provide data support for targeted clinical prevention and control. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 116 cases of inpatients with multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae infections in our hospital in 2024, from whom multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae strains were clinically isolated. Among these strains, there were 41 carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CR-E) strains and 75 extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) -producing Enterobacteriaceae strains. The VITEK MS system was used for bacterial species identification, while the VITEK 2 Compact system or Kirby-Bauer (K-B) method was applied for drug susceptibility testing. ESBL was detected via the double-disk synergy test. The modified Hodge test and metalloenzyme screening test were used to confirm the carbapenemase phenotype. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification was performed to detect drug-resistant genes (KPC, NDM, and VIM types for CR-E; TEM, CTX-M, and SHV types for ESBL-producing bacteria). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for infection. Results Among the 116 infection cases, CR-E was mainly composed of Klebsiella pneumoniae (48.78%, 20/41) and Escherichia coli (31.71%, 13/41), with resistance rates of 80.49% (33/41) to imipenem and 78.05% (32/41) to meropenem. ESBL-producing bacteria were predominantly Escherichia coli (72.00%, 54/75) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (20.00%, 15/75). For CR-E, the detection rate of KPC-type drug-resistant genes was the highest (51.22%, 21/41), followed by NDM-type (34.15%, 14/41). For ESBL-producing bacteria, the detection rate of TEM-type drug-resistant genes was the highest (62.67%, 47/75), followed by CTX-M-type (48.00%, 36/75). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) (OR=3.49, 95% CI: 1.75-6.95, P<0.001), previous use of antibacterial agents (OR=2.41, 95% CI: 1.39-4.16, P=0.002), and invasive procedures (OR=2.77, 95% CI: 1.48-5.19, P=0.001) were independent risk factors for infection. Conclusion In 2024, multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae infections in inpatients at our hospital were mainly caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and ESBL-producing Escherichia coli. KPC-type and TEM-type genes were the main drug-resistant genes in these two types of bacteria, respectively. Admission to the ICU, previous use of antibacterial agents, and invasive procedures were key risk factors. Targeted measures should be strengthened for clinical prevention and control.
