1. WHO revised bacterial priority pathogens list to encourage global actions to combat AMR
通讯作者:肖永红
The World Health Organization (WHO) has updated its Bacterial Priority Pathogens List (BPPL) for 2024 to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR), focusing on "One Health" criteria such as treatability, mortality, and resistance trends. The list categorizes pathogens as critical, high, or medium priority, emphasizing the need for new antimicrobials. Notable inclusions are carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB), carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE), and third-generation cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacterales (3GCRE). The AMR crisis, especially with multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria, persists, highlighting the urgency for global action, investment, and R&D in diagnostics and therapeutics.

Nosocomial pathogen carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) poses a heightened risk to public health through carbapenem resistance and virulence convergence, particularly in China's dominant sequence type 11 (ST11) clone. Monoclonal K. pneumoniae exhibits within-host diversity during prolonged infections, with certain variants surviving through adaptation. CRKP strains from the blood of a single patient are heterogeneous in terms of antibiotic susceptibility, capsular polysaccharide production, and mucoviscosity. Intra-host evolution drives novel resistance via cumulative mutations (e.g., the transcriptional regulator gene ramR mutations and the outer membrane porin gene OmpK35 loss). However, the population dynamics and evolution of pathogenic K. pneumoniae within hosts remain poorly characterized. In this study, we analyzed a series of K. pneumoniae strains from a patient enduring persistent infection with K. pneumoniae via whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and revealed their intra-host population dynamics from a quasispecies perspective.

通讯作者:朱同玉、胡必杰、乐率
本研究首次证实了噬菌体疗法在胆道感染中的安全性和有效性,为治疗提供了新的思路。尽管完全清除感染仍具挑战,但噬菌体疗法在缓解症状和减少细菌载量方面效果显著。未来,研究团队将进一步优化噬菌体治疗策略,以应对细菌耐药性、异质性、生物膜等因素带来的挑战。

高耐高毒肺炎克雷伯菌的出现和广泛传播是潜在的公共卫生危机,这类菌株正悄然改变临床感染格局。未来研究和防控策略可聚焦于:基于CRISPR-Cas或毒素-抗毒素系统的去定植研究、针对毒力因子的靶向治疗研究、结合新型分子检测与监测网络的早期预警系统的建立等。只有通过加强基础研究、研发诊断手段、推动多学科协作,才能有效遏制其蔓延,守护临床安全与公共卫生防线。
