Abstract

Although amikacin, meropenem, and colistin are options that still can be used, but the spread of CRKP has become a big problem all over the world, especially because this type of bacteria is resistant to most wide-spread antibiotics being used. Several studies have shown that the CRKP strains have been identified with these technology-based designs that are applied retrospectively. While the function of the molecular epidemiology and the influence of CRKP on outcomes were precisely outlined, a relevant paragraph explaining this phenomenon is still not available. Moreover, the existing options for therapy of CRKP are not efficient and this area still awaits a breakthrough. Consequently, the objective of the research study is to perform the molecular analysis of CRKP and the resistance patterns in the King Abdullah Medical Complex (KAMCJ), Jeddah. In this study the strain was subjected to growing in colonies during January 2022- August 2023 for a total of 260 CRKP isolates. An antimicrobial susceptibility test has been performed through these advanced techniques with VITEK-2 automated microbiology analyzer platform as well as broth microdilution approach. Then, to detect the carbapenemase and drug resistance genes, the XpertCarba-R assay and modified carbenem acid inactivation method have been conducted. The finding of this study indicated that the blaOXA-48 and blaNDM genes resulted in the transmission of K. pneumonia in patients' admissions at the intensive care unit. In the study, it was found out that patients who had CRKP were statistically related to their gender and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Besides that, CRKP dispersal would be limited and the performance of infection control measures supervised through CRKP strains surveillance.
