卫生保健工作者显示,肺炎球菌携带者的患病率为21%,充当潜在的储库. 这凸显了对Streptococcus pneumoniae更好的诊断和成年人疫苗接种策略的需要.
科学领域:
- 微生物学 微生物学
- 流行病学 流行病学
- 公共卫生 公共卫生
背景情况:
- 医疗保健工作者面临呼吸道病原体暴露的风险较高,包括肺炎链球菌.
- 以前的诊断方法可能低估了成人无症状肺炎球菌携带.
- 唾液被用作呼吸道样本来调查医疗保健专业人员的肺炎球菌携带率.
研究的目的:
- 为了确定无症状医疗保健工作者的大量队列中肺炎球菌携带者的流行率.
- 评估基于唾液的定量聚合酶连锁反应 (qPCR) 对于检测肺炎 estreptococcus 的有用性.
- 为了确定卫生保健工作者携带的常见肺炎球菌血清型.
主要方法:
- 在2020年3月至6月期间,从无症状的医疗保健工作者那里收集了方便唾液样本.
- 从唾液中提取了DNA,并使用qPCR测试了Streptococcus pneumoniae (piaB,lytA) 和血清型识别.
- 对piaB的周期值<40表示肺炎球菌的阳性结果.
主要成果:
- 观察到肺炎球菌携带者的累计患病率为21% (86/392人).
- 在被殖民者中,33% (28/86) 在研究期间多个时间点呈阳性.
- 确定的主要血清型是19F (25.6%) 和3 (12.8%),没有显著的人口统计学关联.
结论:
- 医疗保健工作者可以作为未被认可的Streptococcus pneumoniae存储库,在强制性口罩期间,运输车辆的流行率为21%.
- 这项研究强调了疫苗向血清型在成年人群中的持续流行,尽管有儿童免疫计划.
- 研究结果表明,有可能提高诊断灵敏度,并考虑成人肺炎球菌疫苗接种的重要性.
