RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI) is a new option to treat KPC- and OXA-48 carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) infections. However, clinical evidence is limited regarding its use in treating CRKP infections, especially in solid organ transplantation (SOT) recipients. In this study, we assessed the efficacy of CAZ-AVI in treating CRKP infections in both the general population and the SOT recipients in comparison with other antibiotic regimens. METHODS: This is a single-centre retrospective cohort study of patients admitted between January 1, 2018 and June 30, 2021 with the diagnosis of CRKP infections receiving either CAZ-AVI or other regimens ≥ 72 hours and clinical outcomes were analysed. RESULTS: Of 200 patients with CRKP infections, 67 received CAZ-AVI, 133 received other regimens, and 50 were SOT recipients. In the SOT cohort, 30 patients received CAZ-AVI, and 20 received other regimens. The overall 30-day mortality was 38% in the SOT cohort. Compared with patients receiving other regimens, CAZ-AVI therapy resulted in lower 30-day mortality (23.3% vs. 60%, P = 0.014) and 90-day mortality (35.7% vs. 86.7%, P = 0.003), higher clinical cure (93.3% vs. 40%, P < 0.001) and microbiological clearance. Similar promising results of CAZ-AVI were also shown in the whole population cohort. Moreover, clinical outcomes of SOT recipients receiving CAZ-AVI were not inferior to those without SOT. CONCLUSIONS: CAZ-AVI therapy was associated with better clinical outcomes in CRKP infections in both the general population and SOT recipients. Considering the limitations of the present study, well-conducted RCTs are still warranted to confirm these findings.

RESUMO

The escalation of antibiotic resistance and the diminishing antimicrobial pipeline have emerged as significant threats to public health. The ESKAPE pathogens - Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter spp. - were initially identified as critical multidrug-resistant bacteria, demanding urgently effective therapies. Despite the introduction of various new antibiotics and antibiotic adjuvants, such as innovative ß-lactamase inhibitors, these organisms continue to pose substantial therapeutic challenges. People's Republic of China, as a country facing a severe bacterial resistance situation, has undergone a series of changes and findings in recent years in terms of the prevalence, transmission characteristics and resistance mechanisms of antibiotic resistant bacteria. The increasing levels of population mobility have not only shaped the unique characteristics of antibiotic resistance prevalence and transmission within People's Republic of China but have also indirectly reflected global patterns of antibiotic-resistant dissemination. What's more, as a vast nation, People's Republic of China exhibits significant variations in the levels of antibiotic resistance and the prevalence characteristics of antibiotic resistant bacteria across different provinces and regions. In this review, we examine the current epidemiology and characteristics of this important group of bacterial pathogens, delving into relevant mechanisms of resistance to recently introduced antibiotics that impact their clinical utility in China.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To study the clinical relevance, mechanisms, and evolution of polymyxin B (POLB) heteroresistance (PHR) in carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP), potentially leading to a significant rise in POLB full resistant (FR) CRKP. METHODS: Total of 544 CRKP isolates from 154 patients treated with POLB were categorized into PHR and POLB non-heteroresistance (NHR) groups. We performed statistical analysis to compare clinical implications and treatment responses. We employed whole-genome sequencing, bioinformatics, and PCR to study the molecular epidemiology, mechanisms behind PHR, and its evolution into FR. RESULTS: We observed a considerable proportion (118 of 154, 76.62%) of clinically undetected PHR strains before POLB exposure, with a significant subset of them (33 of 118, 27.97%) evolving into FR after POLB treatment. We investigated the clinical implications, epidemiological characteristics, mechanisms, and evolutionary patterns of PHR strains in the context of POLB treatment. About 92.86% (39 of 42) of patients had PHR isolates before FR, highlighting the clinical importance of PHR. the ST15 exhibited a notably lower PHR rate (1 of 8, 12.5% vs. 117 of 144, 81.25%; p < 0.01). The ST11 PHR strains showing significantly higher rate of mgrB mutations by endogenous insertion sequences in their resistant subpopulation (RS) compared with other STs (78 of 106, 73.58% vs. 4 of 12, 33.33%; p < 0.01). The mgrB insertional inactivation rate was lower in FR isolates than in the RS of PHR isolates (15 of 42, 35.71% vs. 84 of 112, 75%; p < 0.01), whereas the pmrAB mutation rate was higher in FR isolates than in the RS of PHR isolates (8 of 42, 19.05% vs. 2 of 112, 1.79%; p < 0.01). The evolution from PHR to FR was influenced by subpopulation dynamics and genetic adaptability because of hypermutability. DISCUSSION: We highlight significant genetic changes as the primary driver of PHR to FR in CRKP, underscoring polymyxin complexity.

RESUMO

In order to investigate ceftazidime/avibactam (CZA) resistance characteristics and mechanisms of bacteraemic Enterobacterales strains that had not been treated previously with CZA, 9708 strains were collected from 43 hospitals in 18 provinces across China from January 2019 to June 2020. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of CZA in 165 (1.70%) strains were ≥8/4 mg/L. Ten (6.06%) CZA-resistant strains without metallo-ß-lactamase production were obtained from the individuals without prior exposure to CZA, including six Escherichia coli isolates, three Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates and one Enterobacter cloacae isolate. Whole-genome sequencing revealed that ECB88611, ECB142593 and ECB144539 had encoded disrupted OmpF loss of function. OmpF of ECB126041 had a 2_9 MKRNILAV deletion; OmpK35 of three K. pneumoniae isolates harboured amino acid fragment deletions from positions 1 to 38; and ELB117287 had encoded disrupted OmpF. The G132D amino acid substitution of OmpC of ECB88611, ECB142593 and ECB144539, and the 134_135GD insertion of OmpK36 of three K. pneumoniae isolates were predicted to alter ceftazidime permeability. 333_334 YRIK or YRIN insertions occurred in PBP3 of six E. coli isolates. The relative expression of blaKPC-2 in KPB125108 was 4.527 ± 0.2166 times higher than the control strain, and the relative expression of acrF in six E. coli isolates was 2-3 times higher than the control strain. The addition of phenylalanine-arginine-ß-naphthylamine at 100 mg/L decreased the MIC values of CZA against nine strains significantly. In conclusion, the antimicrobial resistance mechanisms in 10 isolates included increased expression of blaKPC-2, non-functional OMPs, upregulation of efflux pump activity, and variants of PBP3. Most of these mechanisms affected the antimicrobial activity of CZA by impeding ceftazidime.

RESUMO

Klebsiella pneumoniae, a notorious pathogen for opportunistic health care-associated infections, represents increasing multidrug resistance, particularly to carbapenems. OXA-232 carbapenemase, as a variant of OXA-48, has been increasingly reported worldwide. ST231, an epidemic, multidrug resistant (MDR) K. pneumoniae clone in south and southeast Asia, has been found in other regions, including Europe. In the study, five OXA-232 carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates, four of which belong to sequence type 231 (ST231) and one of which belongs to ST15, were isolated from two hospitals in China. All isolates displayed a MDR phenotype, being susceptible to only polymyxin B and colistin, and the blaOXA-232 gene was located on a ColKP3-type nonconjugative plasmid of 6.1 kb. A phylogenetic analysis of the global ST231 K. pneumoniae isolates (n = 231) suggested that the four ST231 isolates from this study gathered with strains from south Asia (especially India), indicating that the emerging Chinese ST231 clone was more closely related to south Asia isolates and might have spread from south Asia, where ST231 was a successful epidemic clone. Virulence assays suggested that the four ST231 strains were not highly virulent, as they displayed significantly lower virulence potential, compared with a ST23 K1 hypervirulent isolate in a G. mellonella infection and in mouse intraperitoneal infection models, although three ST231 strains harbored a plasmid-borne aerobactin-encoding iuc gene cluster. This is the first report of ST231 K. pneumoniae clinical strains bearing blaOXA-232 in China, and it highlights the emergence of the ST231 clone causing bloodstream infections in a health care setting as well as calls attention to the transmission of this emerging clone in China. IMPORTANCE OXA-232 carbapenemase, being a vital resistance mechanism against carbapenems, has recently been increasingly reported. In China, the identified OXA-232-producing K. pneumoniae isolates almost belonged to ST15 and were not hypervirulent, despite harboring a virulence plasmid. Here, we report the first occurrence in China of a MDR OXA-232-producing K. pneumoniae ST231 clone that is an epidemic ST type in south and southeast Asia. A phylogenetic analysis indicated that this emerging Chinese ST231 clone was more closely related to Indian isolates. The occurrence of this clone may have been driven through the transnational importation of Indian ST231 K. pneumoniae clones. Moreover, this study is the first to assess the virulence potential of ST231 clones that have never been estimated in previous studies. While the high burden of MDR K. pneumoniae is concerning, genomic surveillance can shed light on the transmission chains of novel MDR clones, and active surveillance should be enforced to restrict the spread of MDR isolates.

RESUMO

The optimal regimens of piperacillin/sulbactam (PIS 2:1), piperacillin/tazobactam (PTZ 8:1), and cefoperazone/sulbactam (CSL 2:1) are not well defined in patients based on renal function. This study was conducted to identify optimal regimens of BLBLIs in these patients. The antimicrobial sensitivity test was performed by a two-fold agar dilution method. Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) was used to simulate the probability of target attainment (PTA) and the cumulative fraction of response (CFR) for various dosing regimens in patients with different renal functions. For strains with an MIC ≤ 8/4 mg/L, PIS 4.5 g q6h achieved 99.03%PTA in the subset of patients with creatinine clearance (CrCL) > 90 mL/min. For patients with CrCL 60-90 mL/min, PIS 4.5 g q6h achieved 81.2% CFR; for those with CrCL 40-59 mL/min, PIS 4.5 g q8h achieved 80.25% CFR. However, for patients infected by ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae, PIS 4.5 g q6h achieved a CFR lower than 80%. For patients infected by A. baumannii with a CrCL of 31-60 mL/min, PIS 6.0 g q8h and 4.5 g q6h achieved 81.24% and 82.42% CFR, respectively. For those infected by P. aeruginosa, PIS 4.5 g q6h reached 90% CFR. PIS and PTZ achieved a similar CFR when piperacillin was at the same dose. The CFRs of CSL were much lower than those of the other two agents in Enterobacteriaceae and P. aeruginosa infections. The antibacterial spectrum of PIS is superior to that of PTZ and CSL. Higher dosages and dosing adjustment according to renal function should be considered to treat Gram-negative bacterial BSIs.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: There is a paucity of published data to evaluate the efficacy and safety of imipenem, cefepime and piperacillin/tazobactam dosing regimens against bloodstream infections caused by Klebsiella aerogenes (BSIs-Kae) and Enterobacter cloacae complex (BSIs-Ecc) in patients with various degrees of renal function. METHODS: Pathogens were isolated from China's blood bacterial resistant investigation network. The dosing regimens of imipenem, cefepime and piperacillin were simulated with intermittent infusion and extended infusion. Monte Carlo simulation was performed to calculate the probability of target attainment and a cumulative fraction of response (CFR) against BSIs-Kae/Ecc. RESULTS: In total, 203 BSIs-Kae, and 785 BSIs-Ecc were isolated from the surveillance network. Imipenem showed the highest in vitro activity against BSIs-Kae/Ecc, followed by cefepime (85%) and piperacillin/tazobactam (70-80%). The MIC90 values of imipenem, cefepime and piperacillin/tazobactam aginst BSIs-Kae and BSIs-Ecc were 1/1 mg/L, 16/16 mg/L, and 64/128 mg/L, respectively. The simulation results showed imipenem achieved the highest CFRs in patients with normal or decreased renal function, with values of 91-99%, followed by FEP (88-96%), without risk of excessive dosing. However, the intermittent and extended dosing regimens of piperacillin/tazobactam were unlikely to provide adequate exposure for empirical management of BSIs-Kae/Ecc (CFRs, 50-80%), regardless of renal function. Besides, the traditional intermittent piperacillin/tazobactam dosing regimens were highly likely to contribute to suboptimal therapeutic exposure when MIC was close to clinical breakpoints. CONCLUSIONS: Cefepime, not piperacillin/tazobactam, can be a reasonable carbapenem-sparing option in empirically treating BSIs-Kae/Ecc.

RESUMO

The disease caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a global public health challenge that threatens society and patients seriously. Therefore, the molecular epidemiology and change trend of MRSA is essential for the control and treatment of diseases caused by the pathogen in their regions. To explore molecular epidemiology of MRSA in Hangzhou, we collected 162 MRSA isolates from 2012 to 2018, conducted the antimicrobial susceptibility and used polymerase chain reaction(PCR) to test the molecular typing including multilocus sequence typing (MLST), staphylococcal chromosome cassette mec (SCCmec), staphylococcal protein A (spa A) and Panton-Valentine leucocidin (PVL). All the strains was divided into community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) or hospital-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA). 162 MRSA isolates were divided into 16 STs and 30 spa types. The major ST type was ST5 (96/162, 59.3%) and the predominant spa type was t311 (83/162, 51.2%). Five SCCmec types were found and the most common SCCmec type was type II (101/162, 61.7%). ST5-II-t311 was the predominant MRSA clone. And the prevalence of ST5 MRSA gradually declined from 2014 to 2018 but the prevalence of ST59 MRSA significantly increased. At the same time, livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(LA-MRSA) ST398 and ST9 were detected. Twenty-eight isolates were PVL gene positive (28/162, 17.3%). The most prevalent PVL-positive clone was ST59-IVa-t437. Comparing with HA-MRSA, CA-MRSA had a lower probability of ST5 (9.1% vs 67.1%, P=0.000) but a higher probability of ST59 (63.6% vs 11.4%, P=0.000), not only that, it was more likely to carrying PVL-positive gene (36.4% vs 14.3%, P=0.028). In summary, the molecular types of MRSA were getting complex over time. ST5-II-t311 was the predominant clone of MRSA isolate with a downward incidence from 2014 to 2018. ST59 MRSA strains, which is thought community related strain are spreading into hospitals and has an upward incidence from 2014 to 2018.

RESUMO

Elizabethkingia anophelis is an emerging species and has increasingly been reported to cause life-threatening infections and even outbreaks in humans. Nevertheless, there is little data regarding the E. anophelis geographical distribution, phylogenetic structure, and transmission across the globe, especially in Asia. We utilize whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data to define a global population framework, phylogenetic structure, geographical distribution, and transmission evaluation of E. anophelis pathogens. The geographical distribution diagram revealed the emerging pathogenic bacteria already distributed in various countries worldwide, especially in the USA and China. Strikingly, phylogenetic analysis showed a part of our China original E. anophelis shared the same ancestor with the USA outbreak strain, which implies the possibility of localized outbreaks and global spread. These closer related strains also contained ICEEaI, which might insert into a disrupted DNA repair mutY gene and made the strain more liable to mutation and outbreak infection. BEAST analysis showed that the most recent common ancestor for ICEEaI E. anophelis was dated twelve years ago, and China might be the most likely recent source of this bacteria. Our study sheds light on the potential possibility of E. anophelis causing the large-scale outbreak and rapid global dissemination. Continued genomic surveillance of the dynamics of E. anophelis populations will generate further knowledge for optimizing future prevent global outbreak infections.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is one of the leading causes of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and is particularly pervasive in intensive care units (ICUs). This study takes ICU layout as the research object, and integrates clinical data and bacterial genome analysis to clarify the role of separate, small wards within the ICU in controlling the transmission of CRKP. METHODS: This study prospectively observed the carriage and spread of CRKP from a long-term in-hospital patient (hereafter called the Patient) colonized with CRKP in the gut and located in a separate, small ward within the ICU. The study also retrospectively investigated CRKP-HAIs in the same ICU. The relationship and transmission between CRKP isolates from the Patient and HAI events in the ICU were explored with comparative genomics. RESULTS: In this study, 65 CRKP-HAI cases occurred during the investigation period. Seven CRKP-HAI outbreaks were also observed. A total of 95 nonrepetitive CRKP isolates were collected, including 32 strains from the Patient in the separate small ward. Phylogenetic analysis based on core genome single-nucleotide polymorphism (cgSNP) showed that there were five possible CRKP clonal transmission events and two clonal outbreaks (A1, A2) during the study. CRKP strains from the Patient did not cause CRKP between-patient transmission or outbreaks in the ICU during the 5-year study period. CONCLUSION: The presence of a long-term hospitalized patient carrying CRKP and positioned in a separate, small ward did not lead to CRKP transmission or infection outbreaks in the ICU. Combining a small-ward ICU layout with normative HAI control measures for multidrug-resistant pathogen infection was effective in reducing CRKP transmission.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: In this first national bloodstream infection (BSI) surveillance program in China, we assessed the composition of pathogenic bacteria and the trends for antimicrobial susceptibility over a 6-year period in China. METHODS: Blood bacterial isolates from patients at hospitals participating in the Blood Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System (BRICS) were collected from January 2014 to December 2019. Only the first isolate of a species per patient was eligible over the full study period. Antibiotic-susceptibility testing was conducted by agar-dilution or broth-dilution methods as recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). WHONET 5.6 was used to analyze data. RESULTS: During the study period, 27,899 bacterial strains were collected. Gram-positive organisms accounted for 29.5% (8244) of the species identified and Gram-negative organisms accounted for 70.5% (19,655). The most-commonly isolated organisms in blood cultures were Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase-negative Staphylococci, and Acinetobacter baumannii. The prevalence of multidrug-resistant organisms, such as E. coli, K. pneumoniae, A. baumannii was higher in tertiary hospitals, whereas extended-spectrum, ß-lactamase-producing E. coli (ESBL-E. coli), carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii were more prevalent in economically-developing areas. The prevalence of methicillin-resistant S. aureus declined from 39.0% (73/187) in 2014 to 25.9% (230/889) in 2019 (p < 0.05). The prevalence of ESBL-E. coli dropped from 61.2% (412/673) to 51.0% (1878/3,683) over time (p < 0.05), and carbapenem-resistant E. coli remained low prevalence (< 2%; 145/9944; p = 0.397). In contrast, carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae increased markedly from 7.0% (16/229) in 2014 to 19.6% (325/1,655) in 2019 (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: E. coli and K. pneumoniae were the leading causes of BSI during the 6-year study period. The major resistant pathogens declined or remained stable, whereas carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae continued to increase, which poses a great therapeutic challenge for BSIs.

RESUMO

Introduction: The aim of this study was to predict and evaluate three antimicrobials for treatment of adult bloodstream infections (BSI) with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) in China, so as to optimize the clinical dosing regimen further. Methods: Antimicrobial susceptibility data of blood isolates were obtained from the Blood Bacterial Resistance Investigation Collaborative Systems in China. Monte Carlo simulation was conducted to estimate the probability target attainment (PTA) and cumulative fraction of response (CFR) of tigecycline, polymyxin B, and ceftazidime/avibactam against CRE. Results: For the results of PTAs, tigecycline following administration of 50 mg every 12 h, 75 mg every 12 h, and 100 mg every 12 h achieved > 90% PTAs when minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was 0.25, 0.5, and 0.5 µg/mL, respectively; polymyxin B following administration of all tested regimens achieved > 90% PTAs when MIC was 1 µg/mL with CRE; ceftazidime/avibactam following administration of 1.25 g every 8 h, 2.5 g every 8 h achieved > 90% PTAs when MIC was 4 µg/mL, 8 µg/mL with CRE, respectively. As for CFR values of three antimicrobials, ceftazidime/avibactam achieved the lowest CFR values. The highest CFR value of ceftazidime/avibactam was 77.42%. For tigecycline and ceftazidime/avibactam, with simulated regimens daily dosing increase, the CFR values were both increased; the highest CFR of tigecycline values was 91.88%. For polymyxin B, the most aggressive dosage of 1.5 mg/kg every 12 h could provide the highest CFR values (82.69%) against CRE. Conclusion: This study suggested that measurement of MICs and individualized therapy should be considered together to achieve the optimal drug exposure. In particular, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic modeling based on local antimicrobial resistance data can provide valuable guidance for clinicians for the administration of empirical antibiotic treatments for BSIs.

RESUMO

Objectives: The aim of this work was to investigate the activity of ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) and aztreonam-avibactam (AZA) against bloodstream infections caused by carbapenem-resistant organisms (CROs). Methods: Non-duplicate CROs, including 56 carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli (CR-Eco), 318 carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-Kpn), and 65 carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CR-Pae), were collected using the Blood Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System (BRICS) program in China. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 24 antibiotics were tested. Carbapenemase genes were amplified for CZA-resistant CROs by PCR. The MICs of CZA and AZA were further determined with avibactam at 8 and 16 mg/L, respectively. Results: The resistance rate of polymyxin B against CROs was less than 5%. Only one CR-Kpn was resistant to tigecycline. The resistance rates of CZA against CR-Eco, CR-Kpn, and CR-Pae were 75.0%, 12.6%, and 18.5%, respectively. The MIC90 values of AZA against CR-Eco, CR-Kpn, and CR-Pae were 2/4, 1/4, and 64/4 mg/L, respectively. Among the CZA-resistant CROs, 42 (100%) CR-Eco, 24 (60%) CR-Kpn, and 1 (8.3%) CR-Pae isolates harbored metallo-ß-lactamase genes. The increase of avibactam concentration enhanced the susceptibility of CZA and AZA against CROs, especially for CR-Eco and CR-Kpn. Conclusions: The in vitro activity of AZA was superior to that of CZA against CR-Eco and CR-Kpn, whereas CZA showed better effect against CR-Pae.

RESUMO

Objectives: This work was to investigate the activity and optimal treatments of ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) and aztreonam-avibactam (AZA) against bloodstream infections caused by carbapenem resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (BSIs-CRKP). Methods: A total of 318 nonduplicate BSIs-CRKP isolates were collected from Blood Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System (BRICS) program. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of CZA and AZA were determined by agar dilution method. Carbapenemase genes and multilocus sequence typing were amplified by PCR. Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) was conducted to calculate cumulative fraction of response (CFR) of different CZA or AZA administrations. Results: The MIC90 of CZA and AZA were 128/4 and 1/4 mg/L, respectively. There are 87.4 and 3.5% isolates carried bla KPC-2 and bla NDM-1. A total of 68 ST types were identified and 29 novel ST types. ST11 accounted for 66.6%. Further MCS showed CFR of CZA using two-step infusion therapy (rapid first-step 0.5 h infusion and slow second-step 3 h infusion, TSIT) (2.5 g 0.5 h, 3.75 g every 8 h with 3 h infusion and 3.75 g 0.5 h, 2.5 g every 8 h with 3 h infusion) was above 89%. The CFR of AZA with TSIT was above 96%. Conclusion: TSIT with sufficient pharmacokinetic conditions could be useful for enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of CZA and AZA against BSIs-CRKP.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Few pharmacodynamics studies to date have evaluated the efficacy and safety of polymyxin B (PMB) in treating patients with bloodstream infections (BSIs) in China. METHODS: Patients with BSIs were identified using an antimicrobial surveillance network, and their pathogens were isolated. Patients were treated with a loading dose of PMB followed by either a weight-based or weight-independent maintenance dose. Monte Carlo simulation was utilized to calculate the probability of target attainment (PTA) and cumulative fraction of response (CFR) against Gram-negative organisms in patients with normal or decreased renal function. RESULTS: A total of 10,066 Gram-negative organisms, including 5500 Escherichia coli (Eco), 2519 Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kpn), 501 Acinetobacter baumannii (Aba), were isolated from patients with BSIs. Although these strains were highly resistant to carbapenem, they remained susceptible to PMB. Among patients with renal impairment (mean CrCL, 42 mL/min), a PMB 2.5 mg/kg loading dose followed by a maintenance dose of 60 mg q12h reached ≥90% PTA against isolates with an MIC of 2 mg/L, with a low risk of toxicity. Among patients with normal renal function (mean CrCL, 123 mL/min), all simulated regimens showed PTAs of 25-80%. A weight-based loading dose followed by either a weight-based or weight-independent maintenance dose showed a promising CFR, especially in patients with renal impairment, with CFRs ≥90% against carbapenem-resistant Eco, Kpn, and Aba. Simulated regimens showed a disappointing CFR (<80%) against carbapenem-resistant Pae in patients with normal renal function. Based on the optimal balance of efficacy and toxicity, a fixed maintenance dose of 60 mg q12h among patients with renal impairment yielded a CFR similar to regimens based on total body weight and was associated with a probability of toxicity (12.5%) significantly lower than that of simulations based on total body weight. Among patients with normal renal function, a weight-based maintenance dose of 1.25 mg/kg q12h achieved a higher CFR than a fixed maintenance dose, without significantly increasing toxicity. CONCLUSION: A 2.5 mg/kg loading dose of PMB is optimal, regardless of renal function. A fixed maintenance dose of 60 mg q12h is recommended for empirical treatment of patients with renal impairment infected with Eco, Kpn, and Aba, whereas a weight-based maintenance dose of 1.25 mg/kg is recommended for patients with normal renal function.

RESUMO

ST59 is the predominant pathotype of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) in China. As a variant of ST59, there is relatively little known about the detailed information of ST338. To address this issue, here, we described thirteen ST338 CA-MRSA strains isolated from severe bloodstream infection cases, and focused on their epidemiology, genetic features and virulence potential. Phylogenetic analysis showed the earliest isolated strain of this study is likely a predecessor of recent ST338 lineage (after year of 2014). Furthermore, the phylogenetic reconstruction and time estimation suggested that ST338 evolved from ST59 in 1991. Notably, the carrying patten of virulence factors of all ST338 strains were similar, and the genomic islands νSaα, νSaγ and SaPI and the core virulence factors like hla and psm were detected in ST338 isolates. However, all ST338 isolates lacked some adhesion factors such as clfA, clfB, eap, cna and icaD. Additionally, among these ST338 strains, one PVL-negative ST338 isolate was detected. Experiment on mice nose and human alveolar epithelial cell showed that the nasal colonization ability of ST338 was weaker than that of CA-MRSA MW2. In a mouse bloodstream infection model and skin infection model, PVL+ and PVL- strains had the similar virulence, which was dependent on upregulation of toxin genes rather than the presence of mobile genetic elements such as ΦSa2 carrying PVL. Our findings provide important insight into the epidemiology and pathogenicity of the novel and highly virulent ST338-SCCmec Vb clone.

RESUMO

To assess the genomic profiles of tigecycline (Tgc)-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, including antibiotic resistance (AR) genes and virulence factors (VF), whole-genome shotgun sequencing was performed on 19 Tgc-resistant (TgcR) A. baumannii strains collected in a tertiary hospital during the early phase of the clinical introduction of Tgc in China from late 2012 to mid-2014. The major sample types containing TgcR strains were sputum and drain fluid. Data from an average of 624 Mbp of sequence was generated on each bacterial genome, with Q30 quality of 90%, and an average coverage of 96.6%. TCDC-AB0715 was used as a reference genome. The genome sequences were annotated for functional elements including AR genes, VFs, genome islands, and inserted sequences before they were comparatively analyzed. The antibiotic susceptibility phenotypes of the strains were examined by a broth microdilution method to determine the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of strains against major clinical antibiotics. The AR genes (ARGs) were annotated using the Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance Database (CARD). Thirty-three ARGs were shared by all 19 TgcR strains, and 24 ARGs were distributed differently among strains. A total of 391 VFs were found to be diversely distributed in all TgcR strains. Based on ARG number distribution, the 19 TgcR strains were divided into several groups. Highly differentiated genes included gpi, mphG, armA, msrE, adec, catB8, aadA, sul1, bla OXA- 435, aph3i, and bla TEM- 1, which may represent gene markers for TgcR A. baumannii sub-types. In addition, when compared with Tgc-sensitive (TgcS) strains collected during the same period, TgcR strains featured enrichment of ARGs including aph6id, aph3ib, and teta. Compared with 26 other whole-genome sequences of A. baumannii deposited in GeneBank, TgcR strains in this study commonly lacked the EF-Tu mutation for elfamycin resistance. Previous investigation of three A. baumannii strains isolated from one patient indicated genomic exchange and a homologous recombination event associated with generation of tigecycline resistance. This study further analyzed additional TgcR strains. Phylogenetic analysis revealed a close evolutionary relationship between 19 TgcR strains and to isolates in East and Northeast China. In short, the comprehensive functional and comparative genomic analysis of 19 clinical TgcR A. baumannii strains isolated in the early stage of Tgc usage in China revealed their close phylogenetic relationship yet variable genetic background involving multiple resistance mechanisms. Using a simple ARG or VF gene number diversity method and marker genes, TgcR strain sub-types can be identified. The distinct characteristics of TgcR A. baumannii strains with versatile genomic resistance and regulation patterns raise concern regarding prediction and control of Tgc resistance in the clinic.

RESUMO

Background: Escherichia coli is one of the most common strains of extended-spectrum ß-lactam (ESBL)-producing bacteria, and the prevention and treatment of ESBL-producing E. coli infections is an ongoing challenge. The clinical characteristics and outcomes of ESBL-producing E. coli bacteremia in non-transplant patients remain to be elucidated. Methods: This retrospective study included 491 non-transplant patients with E. coli bloodstream infections (BSIs) from January 2013 to December 2016 and was conducted to investigate the risk factors, clinical features, and outcomes of these infections. Results: Of the 491 E. coli BSI patients, 57.6% suffered from infections with ESBL-producing strains. A multivariate analysis showed that urinary tract infection, prior use of cephalosporin, and treatment with ß-lactam-ß-lactamase inhibitor (BLBLI) combination antibiotics were independent risk factors for the development of ESBL-producing E. coli BSIs. The overall mortality rate in E. coli BSI patients was 14.46%, and there was no significant difference in the 28 day mortality rate between ESBL-producing E. coli and non-ESBL-producing E. coli BSI patients (14.8% vs. 14.0%, respectively; P = 0.953). Similarly, there was no difference between the community-acquired infection group and the nosocomial infection group. Hepatobiliary disease, carbapenem exposure, high APACHE II score, and hypoproteinemia were independent risk factors for death in E. coli BSI patients. Multivariate analysis showed that hypoproteinemia and severe disease were independent risk factors for death from ESBL-producing E. coli BSIs. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in the 28 day mortality between patients with ESBL-producing E. coli BSIs treated with carbapenem monotherapy versus those treated with BLBLI combination antibiotics (12.8% vs. 17.9%, respectively; P = 0.384). Conclusions: Prior use of cephalosporin or BLBLI combination antibiotics increased the risk ratio for ESBL-producing E. coli infection. Hypoproteinemia and severe disease are independent risk factors for death in patients with E. coli BSIs. There was no significant difference in the 28 day prognosis of patients with ESBL-producing E. coli and those with non-ESBL-producing E. coli BSIs. These data do not support the conclusion that carbapenems might be more effective than BLBLI antibiotics for treatment of patients with BSIs caused by ESBL-producing E. coli.

RESUMO

Objectives: Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) was used to evaluate optimal dosage for cefepime (FEP), moxalactam (MOX), and cefperazone/sulbactam (CFZ/SBT) against extended-spectrum ß-lactamase (ESBL) producers isolated from the Blood Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System. Methods: Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was tested by agar dilution, and ESBL producers were identified by modified Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute tests. Pharmacokinetic parameters were derived from data on healthy individuals, and probability of target attainment (PTA) and cumulative fraction of response (CFR) %fT >MIC values were estimated by MCS. Results: A total of 2032 Escherichia coli (875 ESBL-producing) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (157 ESBL-producing) strains, and 371 other Enterobacteriaceae strains, were isolated from patients with bloodstream infections (BSIs). MIC90 values for FEP, MOX, and CFZ/SBT against ESBL-producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae were 64/64 mg/L, 2/32 mg/L, and 64/128 mg/L, respectively. Conventional MOX and CFZ/SBT doses failed to reach 90% PTA against isolates with MICs ≥8 mg/L and ≥4 mg/L, respectively. Against ESBL producers, neither FEP nor CFZ/SBT achieved ≥90% CFR, while CFRs for MOX (1 g iv q6h, 2 g iv q12h, and 2 g iv q8h) exceeded 90% against ESBL-producing E. coli. Simulated CFRs for FEP and MOX were similar (>90%) against non-ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae, and higher than CFRs for CFZ/SBT. Conclusion: ESBL producers from BSIs were highly susceptible to MOX, and PTA values were generally higher for MOX than FEP or CFZ/SBT for conventional dosing regimens. This large MCS analysis shows that MOX but not FEP or CFZ/SBT can be used empirically to treat BSIs caused by ESBL-producing E. coli strains.
