Abstract

Background Klebsiella spp. can colonize the intestine of preterm neonates, and over-growth has been associated with necrotizing enterocolitis, hospital-acquired infections, and late-onset sepsis. This could lead us to suggest that the clinical pertinence of intestinal colonization with ESBL in preterm neonates appears to be important. We conducted this study to characterize the genetic proprieties of ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (ESBL-KP) under clinical isolates and to describe the risk factors for the intestinal tract acquisition event during hospitalization. Methods One hundred and thirteen premature infants were recruited from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). All newborns are issued from the birth suites of the pregnancy department. Two rectal swabs were planned to define K. Pneumoniae intestinal carriage status. ESBL-KP was confirmed by Brilliance ESBL selective chromogenic Agar. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing including phenotypic testing and genotypic detection of the most commonly described ESBL genes was done. Logistic regression models were performed to find the variables associated with the acquisition event of ESBL-KP. Results A total of 62 (54.86%) premature neonates were colonized with ESBL-KP. The rate of blaSHV, blaTEM, blaCTX-M1, blaCTX-M2, blaCTX-M9, and blaOXA-48 genes among the isolates was 82, 48, 93.5, 4.8, 11.2 and 3.22%, respectively. We found that ESBLs K. Pneumoniae isolates were 100% resistant to amoxicillin, clavulanic acid-amoxicillin, cefotaxime, ceftazidime, and gentamicin. The regression model is for a given significant association between the tract intestinal of ESBL-KP acquisition events and the use of enteral tube feeding (OR = 38.46, 95% CI: 7.86–188.20, p-Value: 0.001), and endotracheal tubes (OR = 4.86, 95% CI: 1.37–17.19, p-Value 0.014). Conclusion Our finding supposes that the enteral feeding tube and endotracheal tube might have a critical role in colonizing the intestinal tract of preterm infants. This highlights the current status of both practices that will require updated procedures in the NICU.
