To investigate the distribution of pathogenic bacteria in the patients with hematologic malignancies received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and its influence on the expression of BCL-2 and BAX proteins. The clinical data of 64 patients with malignant lymphoma (ML) received auto-HSCT from January 2011 to December 2015 in our hospital were analyzed. On basis of post-treansplant infection, the patients were divided into infection group (36 cases) and non-infection group (28 cases). The distribution of pathogenic bacteria in 2 groups was identified, the T lymphocyte subsets of peripheral blood, expression level of apoptotic proteins and C-reaction protein (CRP) in 2 group were detected. Thirty-six strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated from 36 case of hematological malignancy after HSCT, including 24 strains of Gram-negative bacteria (66.67%) with predominamce of klebsiella pneumoniae (19.44%). The periperal blood CD4+ (t=2.637, P<0.01), CD4+/CD8+ ratio (t=8.223, P<0.01), BCL-2 protein (t=5.852, P<0.05), BCL-2/BAX ratio (t=14.56, P<0.01) in infection group were significantly lower than those in non-infection group, while CD8+ (t=2.285, P=<0.01), CRP (t=39.71, P<0.01), BAX level in infection group were higher than those in non-infection group. The pearson correcation analysis showed that the CD4+/CD8+ ratio in infection group positively correlated with BCL-2/BAX ratio (t=0.341, P<0.05), while serum CRP level in infection group negatively correlated with BCL-2/BAX ratio (t=-0.362, P<0.05). The pathogenic bacteria infecting ML patients after HSCT were mainly Gram-negative bacteria. The post-transplant infection can promote the expression up-regulation of related inflammatory factors and apoptotic proteins. The pathogens may be involved in cell apoptisis that provides a new strategy to treat the hematologic malignancies.
