Abstract
INTRODUCTION Klebsiella pneumonia (K. pneumonia) is a Gram-negative bacterium that opportunistically causes nosocomial infections in the lung, bloodstream, and urinary tract. Extended-spectrum β-Lactamases (ESBLs)-expressed K. pneumonia strains are widely reported to cause antibiotic resistance and therapy failure. Therefore, early identification of K. pneumonia, especially ESBL-positive strains, is essential in preventing severe infections. However, clinical detection of K. pneumonia requires a time-consuming process in agar disk diffusion. Nucleic acid detection, like qPCR, is precise but requires expensive equipment. Recent research reveals that collateral cleavage activity of CRISPR-LbCas12a has been applied in nucleic acid detection, and the unique testing model can accommodate various testing models. METHODS This study established a system that combined PCR with CRISPR-LbCas12a targeting the K. pneumoniae system. Additionally, this study summarized the antibiotic-resistant information of the past five years' K. pneumoniae clinic cases in Luohu Hospital and found that the ESBL-positive strains were growing. This study then designs a crRNA that targets SHV to detect ESBL-resistant K. pneumoniae. This work is to detect K. pneumoniae and ESBL-positive strains' nucleic acid using CRISPR-Cas12 technology. We compared PCR-LbCas12 workflow with PCR and qPCR techniques. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION This system showed excellent detection specificity and sensitivity in both bench work and clinical samples. Due to its advantages, its application can meet different detection requirements in health centers where qPCR is not accessible. The antibiotic-resistant information is valuable for further research.

Abstract
β-lactamases are the primary cause of resistance to β-lactams among members of the family Enterobacteriaceae. SHV enzymes have emerged in Enterobacteriaceae causing infections in health care in the last decades of the Twentieth century, and they are now observed in isolates in different epidemiological settings both in human, animal and the environment. Likely originated from a chromosomal penicillinase of Klebsiella pneumoniae, SHV β-lactamases currently encompass a large number of allelic variants including extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL), non-ESBL and several not classified variants. SHV enzymes have evolved from a narrow- to an extended-spectrum of hydrolyzing activity, including monobactams and carbapenems, as a result of amino acid changes that altered the configuration around the active site of the β -lactamases. SHV-ESBLs are usually encoded by self-transmissible plasmids that frequently carry resistance genes to other drug classes and have become widespread throughout the world in several Enterobacteriaceae, emphasizing their clinical significance.

Synergistic effects of baicalein with cefotaxime against Klebsiella pneumoniae through inhibiting CTX-M-1 gene expression. BMC Microbiol 2016; 16:181. [PMID: 27502110 PMCID: PMC4977660 DOI: 10.1186/s12866-016-0797-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2016] [Accepted: 08/02/2016] [Indexed: 02/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Generation of extended- spectrum β- lactamases is one of the major mechanisms by which clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae develop resistance to antibiotics. Combined antibiotics prove to be a relatively effective method of controlling such resistant strains. Some of Chinese herbal active ingredients are known to have synergistic antibacterial effects. This study is aimed to investigate synergistic effects of Chinese herbal active ingredients with cefotaxime on the extended- spectrum β- lactamase positive strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae, and to analyze mechanism of synergistic action, providing experimental evidence for clinical application of antimicrobial drugs. Results For total sixteen strains including fifteen strains of cefotaxime resistant K. pneumoniae and one extended- spectrum β- lactamase positive standard strain, the synergy rates of cefotaxime with baicalein, matrine, and clavulanic acid were 56.3 %, 0 %, and 100 %, respectively. The fractional inhibitory concentration index of combined baicalein and cefotaxime was correlated with the percentage decrease of cefotaxime MIC of all the strains (r = −0.78, p <0.01). In the group of synergy baicalein and cefotaxime, the transcribed mRNA level of CTX-M-1 after treatment of baicalein was decreased significantly (p <0.05). Moreover, the CTX-M-1 mRNA expression percentage inhibition (100 %, 5/5) was significantly higher than non- synergy group (25 %, 1/4) (p <0.05). Conclusions Our study demonstrated that baicalein exhibited synergistic activity when combined with cefotaxime against some of extended- spectrum β- lactamases positive K. pneumoniae strains by inhibiting CTX-M-1 mRNA expression. However, no direct bactericidal or bacteriostatic activity was involved in the synergistic action. Baicalein seems to be a promising novel effective synergistic antimicrobial agent.
