Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of molecular diagnosis, and specifically to a method and application of mutation detection in the detection of tigecycline resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae. Background Art
[0002] As a common opportunistic pathogen, Klebsiella pneumoniae has caused many problems in the field of clinical infections. It has a strong environmental adaptability and often causes serious diseases such as bloodstream infections, significantly increasing the morbidity and mortality of patients. In recent years, the clinical detection rate of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP), especially carbapenem-resistant hvKP (CR-hvKP), has been showing an increasing trend year by year, making clinical treatment face an unprecedented dilemma.
[0003] As a glycylcycline antibiotic, tigecycline is one of the important choices for the treatment of severe infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP). However, tigecycline-resistant CRKP strains have emerged globally, which seriously threatens the clinical treatment effect. When hvKP infection is accompanied by dual resistance to carbapenems and tigecycline, clinical treatment options are extremely limited, and the prognosis of patients is often poor.
[0004] In the detection of tigecycline resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae, there are many defects in the existing technologies. Traditional phenotypic drug susceptibility tests, such as the microbroth dilution method, take an extremely long time for detection, usually more than 48 hours, which is extremely likely to cause delays in clinical treatment. Moreover, the detection sensitivity of this method for low-level resistant strains is relatively low, and false-susceptible results are likely to occur, unable to provide timely and accurate basis for clinical treatment.
[0005] Existing commercial molecular detection products also have deficiencies. For example, some kits (such as the GeneXpert Carba-R kit) do not cover the ramR gene region, which makes it easy to miss strains carrying ramR gene mutations, thus affecting the accurate judgment of the drug resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae. In addition, clinical strains often carry multiple drug resistance-related mutations, such as ramR+acrR co-mutations, and it is difficult for existing technologies to distinguish the contribution degree of single mutations to drug resistance, which brings great difficulties to the research of drug resistance mechanisms and precision treatment.
[0006] Although whole-genome sequencing can discover new mutation sites, the detection cost is extremely high, and its cost is more than 40 times that of conventional PCR. This high cost makes it difficult to popularize this technology in primary hospitals, restricting its wide application in clinical detection.
[0007] Current detection techniques for tigecycline resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae have obvious deficiencies in terms of sensitivity, timeliness, target coverage, multi-gene mutation analysis, and cost, and cannot meet the needs of rapid and accurate clinical detection. Developing an efficient, accurate, and low-cost detection method is urgent, which is of crucial significance for guiding rational clinical drug use, controlling the spread of drug-resistant bacteria, and improving patient prognosis.
