ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: Oral treatment of febrile urinary tract infections (FUTIs) can be impaired by MDR Enterobacterales often combining ESBL and inhibitor-resistant genes. We studied the impact of ß-lactamases and Enterobacterales' genotypes on the cefixime, cefpodoxime and mecillinam ± amoxicillin/clavulanate MICs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this multicentric study, we included 251 previously whole-genome-sequenced ESBL-producing Enterobacterales, isolated in French children with FUTIs. The MICs of cefixime, cefpodoxime, mecillinam alone and combined with amoxicillin/clavulanate were determined and analysed with respect to genomic data. We focused especially on the isolates' ST and their type of ß-lactamases. Clinical outcomes of patients who received cefixime + amoxicillin/clavulanate were also analysed. RESULTS: All isolates were cefixime and cefpodoxime resistant. Disparities depending on blaCTX-M variants were observed for cefixime. The addition of amoxicillin/clavulanate restored susceptibility for cefixime and cefpodoxime in 97.2% (MIC50/90 of 0.38/0.75 mg/L) and 55.4% (MIC50/90 of 1/2 mg/L) of isolates, respectively, whatever the ST, the blaCTX-M variants or the association with inhibitor-resistant ß-lactamases (34.2%). All isolates were susceptible to mecillinam + amoxicillin/clavulanate with MIC50/90 of 0.19/0.25 mg/L, respectively. Neither therapeutic failure nor any subsequent positive control urine culture were reported for patients who received cefixime + amoxicillin/clavulanate as an oral relay therapy (n = 54). CONCLUSIONS: Despite the frequent association of ESBL genes with inhibitor-resistant ß-lactamases, the cefixime + amoxicillin/clavulanate MICs remain low. The in vivo efficacy of this combination was satisfying even when first-line treatment was ineffective. Considering the MIC distributions and pharmacokinetic parameters, mecillinam + amoxicillin/clavulanate should also be an alternative to consider when treating FUTIs in children.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The population structure of extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli evolves over time, notably due to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant clones such as ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E). OBJECTIVES: To analyse by WGS the genetic diversity of a large number of ESBL-E isolated from urinary tract infections in children from paediatric centres across France between 2014 and 2017 and collected by the National Observatory of febrile urinary tract infection (FUTI) caused by ESBL-E. METHODS: A total of 40 905 Enterobacteriaceae-positive urine cultures were identified. ESBL-E were found in 1983 samples (4.85%). WGS was performed on 251 ESBL-E causing FUTI. STs, core genome MLST (cgMLST), serotype, fimH allele, ESBL genes and presence of papGII key virulence factor were determined. RESULTS: E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were found in 86.9% (218/251) and 11.2% (28/251) of cases, respectively. Several STs predominate among E. coli such as ST131, ST38, ST69, ST73, ST95, ST405, ST12 and ST1193, while no ST emerged in K. pneumoniae. E. coli ST131, ST38 and ST1193 increased during the study period, with a heterogeneity in papGII prevalence (64.5%, 35% and 20% respectively). Most isolates harboured the CTX-M type (97%) with a predominance of blaCTX-M-15. blaCTX-M-27, an emerging variant in E. coli, is found in various STs. cgMLST enabled discrimination of clusters within the main STs. CONCLUSIONS: The predominance of ST131, and the emergence of other STs such as ST38 and ST1193 combined with ESBL genes deserves close epidemiological surveillance considering their high threat in infectious disease. cgMLST could be a discriminant complementary tool for the analyses.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Development of T-cells based-Interferon gamma (IFNgamma) assays has offered new possibilities for the diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) and active disease in adults. Few studies have been performed in children, none in France. With reference to the published data on childhood TB epidemiology in the Paris and Ile de France Region, we considered it important to evaluate the performance of IGRA (QuantiFERON TB Gold In Tube(R), QF-TB-IT) in the diagnosis and the follow-up through treatment of LTBI and active TB in a cohort of French children. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: 131 children were recruited during a prospective and multicentre study (October 2005 and May 2007; Ethical Committee St Louis Hospital, Paris, study number 2005/32). Children were sampled at day 0, 10, 30, 60 (except Healthy Contacts, HC) and 90 for LTBI and HC, and a further day 120, and day 180 for active TB children. Median age was 7.4 years, with 91% of the children BCG vaccinated. LTBI and active TB children undergoing therapy produced significant higher IFNgamma values after 10 days of treatment (p = 0.035). In addition, IFNgamma values were significantly lower at the end of treatment compared to IFNgamma values at day 0, although the number of positive patients was not significantly different between day 0 and end of treatment. CONCLUSIONS/ SIGNIFICANCE: By following quantitative IFNgamma values in each enrolled child with LTBI or active TB and receiving treatment, we were able to detect an increase in the IFNgamma response at day 10 of treatment which might allow the confirmation of a diagnosis. In addition, a decline in IFNgamma values during treatment makes it possible for clinicians to monitor the effect of preventive or curative therapy.
