Abstract
Objective To analyze the distribution of ocular bacterial pathogens and their antibiotic resistance status at a tertiary-care hospital and to provide a reference for the appropriate use of antibiotics. Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted with bacteria isolated from the ophthalmic samples sent for lab analysis at a tertiary-care hospital from 2012 to 2021. The suspected bacterial strains were identified with automated systems for microbial identification and susceptibility analysis and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer. VITEK 2 Compact, an automated microbial identification and antibiotic susceptibility analysis system, was used for antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Results A total of 1556 ophthalmology bacteria culture samples were collected, 574 of which showed bacterial growth, presenting an overall positive rate of 36.89%. Of the isolated bacteria, Gram-positive cocci, Gram-positive bacilli, Gram-negative bacilli, and Gram-negative cocci accounted for 63.15% (377/597), 18.76% (112/597), 17.09% (102/597), and 1.00% (6/597), respectively. Among the bacteria isolated in different years over the course of a decade, Gram-positive cocci always turned out to be the main cause of eye infections. Of the Gram-positive cocci, 73.47% (277/377) were isolated from patients with endophthalmitis, with the most important species being Staphylococcus epidermidis, which was followed by Streptococcus viridans. The rest, or 26.53% (100/377), of the Gram-positive cocci were isolated from patients with external eye infections, with the main isolated strains being Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus viridans, and Staphylococcus aureus. More than 70% of Staphylococcus epidermidis isolated from both endophthalmitis and external eye infections were resistant to methicillin. No strains resistant to vancomycin, linezolid, or tigecycline were detected. Staphylococcus epidermidis isolated from patients with external eye infections had a low rate of resistance to levofloxacin (2/27 or 7.41%), whereas those isolated from patients with endophthalmitis had a higher resistance rate (43/127 or 33.86%). The difference in drug resistance rate between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The chief ocular bacterial pathogens identified in a tertiary-care hospital were Gram-positive cocci, among which, Staphylococcus epidermidis was the most common species. The Staphylococcus epidermidis identified in the hospital had a high rate of resistance to oxacillin, but remained highly sensitive to vancomycin, linezolid, and tigecycline. The endophthalmitis caused by Staphylococcus epidermidis in the hospital can be treated empirically with vancomycin and then the treatment plan can be further adjusted according to the results of the drug susceptibility test. However, the establishment of the breakpoint of drug susceptibility test is mainly based on the model of bloodstream infection and has limited reference value for the treatment of eye infection. The required drug distribution concentration at the infection site can be achieved by dose increase or local administration.

Tan H, Lin M, Gou Q, Li A, Gu F, Liu Q, Zhang Q, Xu M, Kijlstra A, Yang P, Li H. Trends in Corneal Transplantation and Characteristics of Donors in the Chongqing Eye Bank, China: A Retrospective Study, 1999-2018. Front Med (Lausanne) 2021; 8:750898. [PMID: 34778313 PMCID: PMC8584146 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2021.750898] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2021] [Accepted: 09/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to analyze corneal transplantation trends and voluntary donor characteristics at the Chongqing Eye Bank in China. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed and analyzed data from January 1, 1999, to December 31, 2018, covering 5,397 preregistered voluntary donors, 1,955 actual donors, 3,910 donated tissues, and 2,374 corneal transplantations. Results: The 5,397 preregistered donors included 13 ethnic groups, with an overall mean age of 39.6 years (SD 21.5) and 3,010 were women (55.8%). The most prevalent education level was college and above (2,546, 47.2%), and the most common ethnic group was Han (5,335, 98.85%). Of the 1,955 actual donors, the male-to-female ratio was 3.3, and the mean age was 57.1 (SD 23.0 years). Based on population size in 2018, Jiangbei county was the most active in donation willingness, with ~60 × 10−6 per capita, and the Yuzhong county was the most active in cornea donations, with ~451 × 0−6 per capita. Of the 3,910 donated corneas, 2,540 (65.0%) were clinically used. Of those not used, 978 (71.4%) were rejected for poor corneal quality. The 2,374 (93.5%) corneal transplantation procedures were done at the Department of Ophthalmology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University and the rest (n = 166, 6.5%) were performed in other centers. Of those 2,374 corneal transplantations, there were 1,671 penetrating keratoplasty (70.39%), 700 anterior lamellar keratoplasty (29.49%), and three corneal endothelial transplantations in our center (0.13%). The number of annual corneal transplantations increased by nearly 10 times, from 35 cases in 1999 to 327 cases in 2018. Among them, cases of penetrating keratoplasty and anterior lamellar keratoplasty increased from 27, and eight cases in 1999 to 230 and 94 cases in 2018, respectively. Infectious keratitis (37.0%) was the leading indication for keratoplasty, followed by corneal scar (19.8%). Over the study period, corneal scars dropped from the first (41.1% in 1999–2003) to the second indication (20.5% in 2014–2018), while infectious keratitis advanced to take the lead, ranging from 12.2% in 1999–2003 to 26.3% in 2014–2018. Conclusion: Our study reports corneal donation and transplantation trends in Chongqing over 20 years, showing that infectious keratitis is a leading indication for keratoplasty and that penetrating keratoplasty and anterior lamellar keratoplasty show upward trends. The analysis further suggests that a potential preregistered cornea donor is a female Han, with a higher education level.

Abstract
Knowledge of novel prokaryotic taxon discovery and nomenclature revisions is of importance to clinical microbiology laboratory practice, infectious disease epidemiology, and studies of microbial pathogenesis. Relative to bacterial isolates derived from human clinical specimens, we present an in-depth summary of novel taxonomic designations and revisions to prokaryotic taxonomy that were published in 2018 and 2019. Included are several changes pertinent to former designations of or within Propionibacterium spp., Corynebacterium spp., Clostridium spp., Mycoplasma spp., Methylobacterium spp., and Enterobacteriaceae Future efforts to ascertain clinical relevance for many of these changes may be augmented by a document development committee that has been appointed by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute.

Porsch EA, Yagupsky P, St. Geme JW. Kingella negevensis shares multiple putative virulence factors with Kingella kingae. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0241511. [PMID: 33125432 PMCID: PMC7598479 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0241511] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2020] [Accepted: 10/15/2020] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Kingella negevensis is a newly described gram-negative bacterium in the Neisseriaceae family and is closely related to Kingella kingae, an important cause of pediatric osteoarticular infections and other invasive diseases. Like K. kingae, K. negevensis can be isolated from the oropharynx of young children, although at a much lower rate. Due to the potential for misidentification as K. kingae, the burden of disease due to K. negevensis is currently unknown. Similarly, there is little known about virulence factors present in K. negevensis and how they compare to virulence factors in K. kingae. Using a variety of approaches, we show that K. negevensis produces many of the same putative virulence factors that are present in K. kingae, including a polysaccharide capsule, a secreted exopolysaccharide, a Knh-like trimeric autotransporter, and type IV pili, suggesting that K. negevensis may have significant pathogenic potential.
