Abstract:Objective: To investigate the influence of basic drugs combined with (or switched to) the injection of cefoperazone/sulbactam on the disease severity and prognosis of patients with extensively-drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (XDR-KP) infections. Methods: The clinical data of patients with XDR-KP infection admitted from January 2021 to June 2024 were retrospectively selected. According to different medication regimens, they were assigned into basic antibacterial drugs (basic drug group, n=54) and basic drugs combined with (or switched to) the injection of cefoperazone/sulbactam (cefoperazone/sulbactam group, n=47). After about one week of treatment, the bacterial clearance, serum inflammatory indicators including platelet count (PLT), neutrophil ratio (NEUT) and white blood cell count (WBC), and infectious markers including serum amyloid A (SAA), procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were compared between groups. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and prognosis were recorded. Results: The improvement time of clinical symptoms in the cefoperazone/sulbactam group was significantly lower than that in the basic drug group (P<0.05). After about one week of treatment, the normal rate of inflammatory indicators and clearance rate of bacterial in the cefoperazone/sulbactam group were significantly higher than those in the basic drug group (P<0.05). After about one week of treatment, the levels of inflammatory indicators (PLT, NEUT and WBC) and infectious markers (SAA, PCT and CRP) in the both groups were significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the decrease in the cefoperazone/sulbactam group was more pronounced than that in the basic drug group (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in the TEAEs between the cefoperazone/sulbactam group and the basic drug group (9.26% vs 7.41%, P>0.05). The clinical cure rate was significantly higher in the cefoperazone/sulbactam group than the basic drug group (70.21% vs 50.00%, P<0.05), and there were no statistical differences in 30d mortality and hospital stay between groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: The effects of basic drugs combined with (or switched to) the injection of cefoperazone/sulbactam are significant in the treatment of patients with XDR-KP infection, it can control infection, relieve inflammation, and improve the prognosis of patients, and it has few adverse reactions.
