Abstract
This study aims to analyze the risk factors for the development of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and carbapenem-resistant (CR) bacteria bloodstream infection (BSI) in a patient with acute leukemia (AL) and the mortality in gram-negative bacteria (GNB) BSI. This is a retrospective study conducted at West China Hospital of Sichuan University, which included patients diagnosed with AL and concomitant GNB BSI from 2016 to 2021. A total of 206 patients with GNB BSI in AL were included. The 30-day mortality rate for all patients was 26.2%, with rates of 25.8% for those with MDR GNB BSI and 59.1% for those with CR GNB BSI. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that exposure to quinolones (Odds ratio (OR) = 3.111, 95% confidence interval (95%CI): 1.623-5.964, p = 0.001) within the preceding 30 days was an independent risk factor for MDR GNB BSI, while placement of urinary catheter (OR = 6.311, 95%CI: 2.478-16.073, p < 0.001) and exposure to cephalosporins (OR = 2.340, 95%CI: 1.090-5.025, p = 0.029) and carbapenems (OR = 2.558, 95%CI: 1.190-5.497, p = 0.016) within the preceding 30 days were independently associated with CR GNB BSI. Additionally, CR GNB BSI (OR = 2.960, 95% CI: 1.016-8.624, p = 0.047), relapsed/refractory AL (OR = 3.035, 95% CI: 1.265-7.354, p = 0.013), septic shock (OR = 5.108, 95% CI: 1.794-14.547, p = 0.002), platelets < 30 × 109/L before BSI (OR = 7.785, 95% CI: 2.055-29.492, p = 0.003), and inappropriate empiric antibiotic therapy (OR = 3.140, 95% CI: 1.171-8.417, p = 0.023) were independent risk factors for 30-day mortality in AL patients with GNB BSI. Prior antibiotic exposure was a significant factor in the occurrence of MDR GNB BSI and CR GNB BSI. CR GNB BSI increased the risk of mortality in AL patients with GNB BSI.

Pathogenic spectrum and drug resistance of bloodstream infection in patients with acute myeloid leukaemia: a single centre retrospective study. Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2024; 14:1390053. [PMID: 38912203 PMCID: PMC11190328 DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2024.1390053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Bloodstream infection (BSI) represent a prevalent complication in haematological malignancies (HMs). Typically, Patients with BSI usually undergo empirical treatment pending pathogen identification. The timely and effective management of BSIs significantly influences patient prognosis. However, pathogen distribution in BSIs exhibits regional variation. In this study, we investigated the clinical characteristics, pathogen spectrum, drug resistance, risk factors of short-term prognosis and long-term prognostic factors of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with BSI at Zhejiang Provincal People's Hospital. Methods From 2019 to 2021, a total of 56 AML patients with BSI were treated in the Department of Haematology at Zhejiang Province People's Hospital. Data regarding pathogen spectrum and drug resistance were collected for analysis. The patients were stratified into non-survivor cohort and survivor cohort within 30 days after BSI, and the predictors of 30-days mortality were identified through both univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses. Furthermore, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression analysis were employed to ascertain the risk factors associated with poor prognosis in AML patients complicated by BSI. Results A total of 70 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated from 56 AML patients with BSI. Gram-negative bacteria constituted the predominant pathogens (71.4%), with Klebsiella pneumoniae being the most prevalent (22.9%). Gram-positive bacteria and fungi accounted for 22.9% and 5.7%, respectively. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed significant differences in total protein, albumin levels, and the presence of septic shock between the non-survivor cohort and the survior cohort 30 days post-BSI. COX regression analysis showed that agranulocytosis duration exceeding 20 days (HR:3.854; 95% CI: 1.451-10.242) and septic shock (HR:3.788; 95% CI: 1.729-8.299) were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in AML patients complicated by BSI. Notably, the mortality rate within 30 days after Stenotrophomonas maltophilia infection was up to 71.4%. Conclusions In this study, Gram-negative bacteria, predominantly Klebsiella pneumoniae, constituted the primary pathogens among AML patients with BSIs. Serum albumin levels and the presence of septic shock emerged as independent risk factors for mortality within 30 days among AML patients with BSI. In terms of long-term prognosis, extended agranulocytosis duration exceeding 20 days and septic shock were associated with elevated mortality rates in AML patients with BSI. Additionally, in our centre, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia infection was found to be associated with a poor prognosis. Early intervention for Stenotrophomonas maltophilia infection in our centre could potentially improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
Objective We performed a retrospective analysis to investigate the clinical predictors of bacteremia outcome involving Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) after initial empirical antimicrobial therapy among hematological malignancy cases. Methods This retrospective study was conducted between April 2018 and April 2023. All bloodstream infections (BSIs) caused by E. coli and K. pneumoniae in hospitalized hematological malignancy (HM) patients were identified. Data on patient demographics, clinical characteristics, empirical antimicrobial treatment, outcomes and the antimicrobial susceptibility were collected from medical records. Multivariate analyses were utilized to assess the risk factors for all-cause mortality within 28 days and carbapenem resistance. Optimal cutoffs for continuous predictive variables were evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results Among 61 individuals diagnosed with bacteremia, 39 cases were caused by E. coli bacteremia, while the remaining 22 were identified as K. pneumoniae bacteremia. Out of these, there were 10 cases of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and 12 cases resulted in all-cause mortality within 28 days. Analysis indicated that Pitt score was an independent risk factor for mortality and a cut-off of 2.5 was a reliable predictor with 83.3% sensitivity and 85.7% specificity, respectively. Impaired mental status and elevated body temperature exceeding 38.6°C as well as a procalcitonin (PCT) level over 8.24 ng/mL on the third day (d3) after antimicrobial treatment were identified as independent risk factors for predicting carbapenem resistance. Conclusion We found that Pitt score with a cut-off of 2.5 was a reliable predictor for mortality within 28 days in HM bacteremia cases. Impaired mental status and elevated temperature exceeding 38.6°C as well as a procalcitonin (PCT) level over 8.24 ng/mL on d3 after antimicrobial treatment were identified as predictive risk factors to carbapenem resistance.

Abstract
Adolescent and young adults (AYAs) belong to a unique category of patients diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). Bloodstream infection (BSI) is a leading cause of treatment-related mortality in ALL patients. However, the epidemiology and risk factors for mortality from BSIs in AYA patients remain unclear. In this study, we analysed these aspects in AYAs patients and compared similarities and differences with children (<15 years old) and older adults (>39 years old). We analysed the pathogenic epidemiology, antibiotic resistance and BSI risk factors of 73 children, 180 AYAs, and 110 older adults with ALL in three comprehensive hospitals from January 2010 to August 2021. The data on BSIs in AYAs were compared to that of the other two groups. In this study, the epidemiology of BSIs in AYAs was similar to that of older adult patients. Concerning clinical characteristics, most AYAs and older adults with BSIs were in a relapsed or uncontrolled state (34.5% vs. 35.4%, p = 0.861). In terms of pathogen distribution, Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) were the most common causative pathogens in AYAs and older adult groups. Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria were more commonly found in AYAs than in children (32.8% vs. 16.4%, p = 0.09). Regarding risk factors, the length of hospitalization (>14 days) and renal inadequacy (creatinine ≥ 177 μmol/L) were influencing factors for 30-day mortality in AYAs patients with BSIs. In our study, AYA patients with BSIs showed clinical characteristics and pathogen distributions similar to those of older adult patients but quite different from those of children.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was to explore the changes in bacterial bloodstream infection (BSI) in patients with haematological malignancies (HMs) before and during SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study between 2018 and 2021. SETTING The largest haematological centre in southern China. RESULTS A total of 599 episodes of BSI occurring in 22 717 inpatients from January 2018 to December 2021 were analysed. The frequencies of the total, Gram-negative and Gram-positive BSI before and during the pandemic were 2.90% versus 2.35% (p=0.011), 2.49% versus 1.77% (p<0.001) and 0.27% versus 0.44% (p=0.027), respectively. The main isolates from Gram-negative or Gram-positive BSI and susceptibility profiles also changed. The 30-day mortality caused by BSI was lower during the pandemic (21.1% vs 14.3%, p=0.043). Multivariate analysis revealed that disease status, pulmonary infection and shock were independent predictors of 30-day mortality. CONCLUSION Our data showed that the incidence of total and Gram-negative organisms BSI decreased, but Gram-positive BSI incidence increased in patients with HMs during the pandemic along with the changes of main isolates and susceptibility profiles. Although the 30-day mortality due to BSI was lower during the pandemic, the new infection prevention strategy should be considered for any future pandemics.

Abstract
PURPOSE Enterococcal bacteremia is associated with high mortality and long-term hospitalization. Here, we aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes and evaluate the risk factors for mortality in adult patients treated with vancomycin (VCM) for vancomycin-susceptible Enterococcus faecium (E. faecium) bacteremia. METHODS This is a retrospective, record-based study. The data were collected from inpatients at a single university hospital between January 2009 and December 2020. The area under the curve (AUC) of VCM was calculated using the Bayesian approach. The primary outcome was a 30-day in-hospital mortality. RESULTS A univariate analysis showed significant differences in the concomitant use of vasopressors, history of the use of no clinically relevant activity antimicrobial agents against E. faecium, VCM plasma trough concentration, and renal dysfunction during VCM administration between the 30-day in-hospital mortality and survival groups. However, the groups' AUC/minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) were not significantly different. A multivariate analysis suggested that concomitant vasopressors may be an independent risk factor for 30-day in-hospital mortality (odds ratio, 7.81; 95% confidence interval, 1.16-52.9; p = 0.035). The VCM plasma trough concentrations and the AUC/MIC in the mortality group were higher than those in the surviving group. No association between the AUC/MIC and the treatment effect in E. faecium bacteremia was assumed, because the known, target AUC/MIC were sufficiently achieved in the mortality group. CONCLUSIONS There may be no association between the AUC/MIC and the treatment effect in E. faecium bacteremia. When an immunocompromised host develops E. faecium bacteremia with septic shock, especially when a vasopressor is used in a patient with unstable hemodynamics, it may be difficult to treat it, despite efforts to ensure the appropriate AUC/MIC and therapeutic vancomycin concentration levels.

Abstract
Background In recent years, with the continuous development of treatments for hematological malignancies (HMs), the remission and survival rates of patients with HMs have been significantly improved. However, because of severe immunosuppression and long-term recurrent neutropenia during treatment, the incidence and mortality of bloodstream infection (BSI) were all high in patients with HMs. Therefore, we analyzed pathogens' distribution and drug-resistance patterns and developed a nomogram for predicting 30-day mortality in patients with BSIs among HMs. Methods In this retrospective study, 362 patients with positive blood cultures in HMs were included from June 2015 to June 2020 at West China Hospital of Sichuan University. They were randomly divided into the training cohort (n = 253) and the validation cohort (n = 109) by 7:3. A nomogram for predicting 30-day mortality after BSIs in patients with HMs was established based on the results of univariate and multivariate logistic regression. C-index, calibration plots, and decision curve analysis were used to evaluate the nomogram. Results Among 362 patients with BSIs in HMs, the most common HM was acute myeloid leukemia (48.1%), and the most common pathogen of BSI was gram-negative bacteria (70.4%). The final nomogram included the septic shock, relapsed/refractory HM, albumin <30g/l, platelets <30×109/l before BSI, and inappropriate empiric antibiotic treatment. In the training and validation cohorts, the C-indexes (0.870 and 0.825) and the calibration plots indicated that the nomogram had a good performance. The decision curves in both cohorts showed that the nomogram model for predicting 30-day mortality after BSI was more beneficial than all patients with BSIs or none with BSIs. Conclusion In our study, gram-negative bacterial BSIs were predominant in patients with HMs. We developed and validated a nomogram with good predictive ability to help clinicians evaluate the prognosis of patients.

Abstract
Background Carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (CRGNB) bloodstream infection (BSI) pose a significant threat to the prognosis of hematologic malignancies (HM) patients. Understanding the distribution of pathogenic bacteria, changes in carbapenem-resistant trends, risk factors for CRGNB infections, and exploring the early detection measures can help reduce mortality. Methods We conducted a multicenter retrospective study of Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) BSI in patients with HM in three university-affiliated hospitals in Hunan Province, China, from January 2010 to December 2020. Demographic and clinical data were collected from the hospital electronic medical records system. Results CRGNB caused 138 (15.3%) of 902 GNB BSI. The detection rate of CRGNB increased from 6.4% in 2010–2012 to 35.4% in 2019–2020. The 7-day mortality rate was significantly higher in patients with CRGNB BSI than in patients with carbapenem-susceptible Gram-negative bacteria (CSGNB) BSI [31.9% (44/138) vs 9.7% (74/764), P < 0.001], and the mortality rate in patients with carbapenem-resistant non-fermenting bacteria (CRNFB) bloodstream infections was generally higher than that of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE). Urinary catheter (OR, 2.814; CI=1.395–5.680; P=0.004) and prior exposure to carbapenem (OR, 4.372; CI=2.881–6.635; P<0.001) were independent risk factors for CRGNB BSI. Analysis of co-infections showed that 50%–85% of patients with CRGNB BSI had pulmonary infections, sputum culture results suggested that sputum culture positivity rate was as high as 57.1%–66.7% in patients with carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia BSI, and the results of antimicrobial susceptibility testing of sputum cultures were consistent with the blood cultures. Conclusion Carbapenem resistance has dramatically increased in HM patients with GNB BSI in recent years and is associated with a worse outcome, especially for non-fermenting bacteria. In high-risk patients, early screening of the respiratory tract specimens may help to detect CRNFB colonization and protect patients from breakthrough BSI.

Gram-Negative Bacteria Bloodstream Infections in Patients with Hematological Malignancies - The Impact of Pathogen Type and Patterns of Antibiotic Resistance: A Retrospective Cohort Study. Infect Drug Resist 2021; 14:3115-3124. [PMID: 34413656 PMCID: PMC8370111 DOI: 10.2147/idr.s322812] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2021] [Accepted: 07/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Enterobacteriaceae (EB) and non-fermentative bacteria (NFB) are the main pathogens responsible for gram-negative bloodstream infections (GN-BSI) in patients with hematological malignancies (HMs). These two pathogen types have heterogeneous resistance mechanisms to antibiotics. However, the impact of pathogen species and pattern of antibiotic resistance on the outcomes of patients with HMs remains unclear. Methods We retrospectively collected clinical data of patients with HMs at three comprehensive hospitals in Hunan Province, China, between January 2010 and May 2018. The data analyzed the impact that different species and patterns of antibiotic resistance had on the outcome of patients with HMs. Results The majority of the 835 monomicrobial isolates collected from patients with HMs and GN-BSIs were Enterobacteriaceae (75.7%). While detections of MDR pathogens in BSIs as a whole are decreasing, sub-analysis shows that detections of extended spectrum β-lactamase-producing (ESBL) Enterobacteriaceae and carbapenem-resistant pathogens in BISs are rising. Comparing different species, the early mortality rate associated with infections caused by NFB was significantly higher than infections caused by Enterobacteriaceae (22.6% vs 9.7%, p < 0.001). Across different multidrug-resistant (MDR) patterns, ESBL bacteria did not have a significant impact on health outcomes. Carbapenem-resistant bacteria, on the other hand, were observed to significantly affect early mortality rate, such as carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (36.0% vs 7.6%, P < 0.001) and carbapenem-resistant non-fermentative bacteria (44.7% vs 16.5%, P < 0.001). Conclusion Our findings suggest that both species and patterns of antibiotic resistance can affect the early mortality of patients with HMs during BSI.

A practical update on the epidemiology and risk factors for the emergence and mortality of bloodstream infections from real-world data of 3014 hematological malignancy patients receiving chemotherapy. J Cancer 2021; 12:5494-5505. [PMID: 34405012 PMCID: PMC8364636 DOI: 10.7150/jca.50802] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2020] [Accepted: 06/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Bloodstream infection (BSI) is a common and serious complication after patients with hematologic malignancies (HM) receiving chemotherapy. This study examined real-world data seeking to characterize HM BSI and identify risk factors for BSI emergence and mortality. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the pathogenic epidemiology, antibiotic resistance, and BSI risk factors in a single-center cohort including 3014 consecutive patients with HM receiving chemotherapy between 2013 and 2016. Results of the pathogenic epidemiology were validated via comparison to available reported data. Results: We found that 725 patients (24.1%) had BSIs. Gram-negative (G-) bacteria represented 64.7% of the 744 isolated pathogenic strains, while Gram-positive (G+) bacteria and fungi accounted for 27.7% and 7.7% of the BSIs, respectively. The most common isolates were Klebsiella pneumoniae (19.2%), and 95.1% of the multidrug-resistant strains (MDR) were extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing strains. G- bacteria were the main microflora responsible for BSI in our cohort of Chinese HM patients compared to studies in developed countries or in neutropenic children with HM or solid tumors. Multivariate analysis revealed that male sex, age ≥ 45 and < 65 yr, hospital length of stay ≥ 9d, neutropenia ≥ 7d before cultures, ≥ 2 antibiotics, and infections (gastrointestinal, perirectal, or urinary tract) independently predicted BSI emergence. Furthermore, age ≥ 65 yr, neutropenia ≥ 7d before blood cultures, no HM remission, lower white blood cell count, ≥ 3 antibiotics, respiratory infections, and Acinetobacter baumannii and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia BSI were independent predictors of 30-day mortality. Conclusions: G- bacteria were the predominant microflora during the study period and antibiotic resistance levels of the pathogens detected were high, especially for MDR strains. The mortality of BSI patients was high in this large cohort. Close attention should be paid to the risk factors identified here to facilitate timely and effective clinical management of such patients.

A TTP-incorporated scoring model for predicting mortality of solid tumor patients with bloodstream infection caused by Escherichia coli. Support Care Cancer 2021; 30:413-421. [PMID: 34302546 PMCID: PMC8636427 DOI: 10.1007/s00520-021-06442-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2021] [Accepted: 07/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
Background Few mortality-scoring models are available for solid tumor patients who are predisposed to develop Escherichia coli–caused bloodstream infection (ECBSI). We aimed to develop a mortality-scoring model by using information from blood culture time to positivity (TTP) and other clinical variables. Methods A cohort of solid tumor patients who were admitted to hospital with ECBSI and received empirical antimicrobial therapy was enrolled. Survivors and non-survivors were compared to identify the risk factors of in-hospital mortality. Univariable and multivariable regression analyses were adopted to identify the mortality-associated predictors. Risk scores were assigned by weighting the regression coefficients with corresponding natural logarithm of the odds ratio for each predictor. Results Solid tumor patients with ECBSI were distributed in the development and validation groups, respectively. Six mortality-associated predictors were identified and included in the scoring model: acute respiratory distress (ARDS), TTP ≤ 8 h, inappropriate antibiotic therapy, blood transfusion, fever ≥ 39 °C, and metastasis. Prognostic scores were categorized into three groups that predicted mortality: low risk (< 10% mortality, 0–1 points), medium risk (10–20% mortality, 2 points), and high risk (> 20% mortality, ≥ 3 points). The TTP-incorporated scoring model showed excellent discrimination and calibration for both groups, with AUC being 0.833 vs 0.844, respectively, and no significant difference in the Hosmer–Lemeshow test (6.709, P = 0.48) and the chi-square test (6.993, P = 0.46). Youden index showed the best cutoff value of ≥ 3 with 76.11% sensitivity and 79.29% specificity. TTP-incorporated scoring model had higher AUC than no TTP-incorporated model (0.837 vs 0.817, P < 0.01). Conclusions Our TTP-incorporated scoring model was associated with improving capability in predicting ECBSI-related mortality. It can be a practical tool for clinicians to identify and manage bacteremic solid tumor patients with high risk of mortality.

Abstract
Objective: To determine the epidemiology, risk factors, and prognosis of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae bloodstream infections (BSIs) among hematology malignancy (HM) patients in China. Method: From January 2010 to June 2018, we retrospectively collected and analyzed the 449 HM patients with E. coli or K. pneumoniae BSIs from three leading hospitals in Hunan Province, China. Results: Two hundred four (45.4%) patients harbored ESBL-producing bacteremia. The proportion of ESBL-producing bacteremia increased significantly with the growth of the year, with a ratio of 34.47% in 2010-2014 to 54.7% in 2015-2018. Comparing with non-ESBL groups in HM patients, central venous catheter (odds ratio [OR] 1.717, p = 0.009), previous antibiotic exposure (OR 1.559, p = 0.035), and E. coli (OR 2.561, p ≤ 0.001) among ESBL groups were independent risk factors. No significant differences in 30-day mortality were tested in patients with BSI caused by ESBL-producing or non-ESBL-producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae (17.1% vs. 16.7%; p = 0. 893). The proportion of carbapenem used within 72 hours after the onset of bacteremia in two groups was high, which was routinely used as "last-resort drugs" in Gram-negative bacterial infections. Risk factors associated with 30-day mortality in HM patients with E. coli or K. pneumoniae bacteremia were myelodysplastic syndrome, incomplete remission of the disease, Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer score <21, Pitt bacteremia score ≥4, Charlson comorbidity score >3, catheter insertion, use of vasopressors, and inappropriate antibiotics within 72 hours of BSI onset. Conclusions: The results of this study may provide some references for the whole process management of HM patients with BSIs.

Abstract
Purpose The aim was to examine the clinical characteristics and risk factors for bloodstream infection (BSI) due to carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) in patients with hematologic malignancies. Materials and Methods A single-centre, retrospective case–control study representing 734 patients with hematologic malignancies between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2018, was conducted. Demographic and clinical data were collected from the hospital electronic medical records system. Results Among the 734 patients with hematologic malignancies, 3% (22/734) of the patients developed CRKP BSI during their hospitalization. Overall 28-day all-cause mortality reached 77.3% (17/22). Patients with Pitt bacteremia score (PBS) >4, pneumonia and septic shock were more frequent in the non-survivors versus the survivors. Compared with the non-survivors in antimicrobial treatment, combination therapy of tigecycline and polymyxin B was more common in the survivors. The independent risk factors associated with CRKP BSI were CRKP rectal colonization (OR, 11.067; CI=4.43–27.644; P<0.001; 3 points), severe neutropenia (OR, 4.095; CI=0.876–19.141; P=0.073; 1 point) and invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) within the previous 30 days to onset of BSI (OR, 18.444; CI=1.787–190.343; P=0.014; 4 points). The total risk score of ≥5 indicated that the probability of CRKP BSI occurrence was above 48%. Conclusion CRKP BSI in patients with hematologic malignancies is associated with high mortality. The risk factor-based prediction model might help clinicians to start prompt effective anti-infective therapy in patients with suspicion of CRKP BSI and improve outcomes.

Abstract
Background To evaluate clinical features, bacterial characteristics, and risk factors for shock and mortality of immunocompromised patients with Escherichia coli bacteremia. Methods A nearly 6‐year retrospective study of E coli bacteremia in 188 immunocompromised patients at Xiangya Hospital was conducted. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were documented. Phylogenetic background and virulence factors of E coli isolates were detected by polymerase chain reaction. Risk factors for shock and mortality were also investigated. Results Of all 188 E coli isolates, most prevalent virulence factors were fimH (91.0%), followed by traT (68.6%) and iutA (67.0%), while papG allele I, gafD, and cdtB were not detected. Phylogenetic group D was dominant (42.0%) among all isolates, and group B2 accounted for 17.6%, while group A and B1 accounted for 28.2% and 12.2%, respectively. In univariate analysis, ibeA and cnf1 were associated with mortality, which were not found in multivariate regression analysis. 22.3% of patients suffered shock, and 30‐day mortality rate was 21.3%. MDR (HR 2.956; 95% CI, 1.091‐8.012) was the only risk factor for shock, while adult (HR 0.239; 95% CI, 0.108‐0.527) was a protective factor. Multivariate analysis revealed that shock (HR 4.268; 95% CI, 2.208‐8.248; P < .001) and Charlson index > 2 (HR 2.073; 95% CI, 1.087‐3.952; P = .027) were associated with fatal outcome. Conclusions Escherichia coli bacteremia was highly lethal in immunocompromised patients, and host‐related factors played major roles in poor prognosis, while bacterial determinants had little effect on outcome. This study also provided additional information about the virulence and phylogenetic group characteristics of E coli bacteremia.

Abstract
Purpose In patients with hematologic malignancies (HM), bloodstream infections (BSI) and invasive fungal disease (IFD) remain important complications causing considerable mortality and morbidity. At present, the morbidity of IFD and the strategies to initiate antifungal treatment in HM patients with BSI remain unclear. Patients and Methods Patient characteristics, infection-related variables, and therapy-related features of 1374 HM patients with proven BSI from three hospitals were reviewed to investigate the epidemiology, risk factors and prognosis of IFD. Results The morbidity of proven and probable IFD in HM patients with BSI was 11.2%, and the mortality of those patients was 40.5%. Existing IFD risk scores were not accurate enough in distinguishing these patients benefiting from antifungal prophylaxis. Multivariate logistic regression identified age >45 years, profound neutropenia, hypoproteinemia, and use of vasopressors as independent variables associated with IFD morbidity in HM patients with BSI. In patients with proven and probable IFD patients, age >45 years, Pitt bacteremia score >3, use of vasopressors, abnormal blood coagulation, and initiation of antifungal therapy within 72 hrs after the onset of fever were independent prognostic factors. The mortality was significantly reduced in patients with high-risk factors of IFD if they initiate antifungal treatment within 72 hrs after the onset of fever compared to the patients not. Conclusion The morbidity and mortality of IFD increase significantly in HM patients with BSI. Early antifungal therapy may improve prognosis in HM patients with BSI complicated with IFD risk factors.

Abstract
Bloodstream infections (BSIs) remain life-threatening complications in the clinical course of patients with haematological malignancies (HM) and Escherichia coli represent one of the most frequent cause of such infections. In this study, we aimed to describe risk factors for resistance to third generation cephalosporins and prognostic factors, including the impact of third generation cephalosporins resistance, in patients with HM and BSIs caused by E. coli. Three hundred forty-two cases of E. coli BSIs were collected during the study period (from January 2016 to December 2017). The percentage of resistance to third generation cephalosporins was 25.7%. In multivariate analysis, the variables recent endoscopic procedures, culture-positive surveillance rectal swabs for multidrug-resistant bacteria, antibiotic prophylaxis with fluoroquinolones, and prolonged neutropenia were independently associated with bloodstream infections caused by a third generation cephalosporins resistant E. coli. The overall 30-day mortality rate was 7.1%. Cox regression revealed that significant predictors of mortality were acute hepatic failure, septic shock, male sex, refractory/relapsed HM, and third generation cephalosporins resistance by E. coli isolate. In conclusion, resistance to third generation cephalosporins adversely affected the outcomes of bloodstream infections caused by E. coli in our cohort of HM patients. We also found a significant correlation between prophylaxis with fluoroquinolones and resistance to third generation cephalosporins by E. coli isolates.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the predictive value of procalcitonin (PCT) in Gram-negative bloodstream infections (BSIs) in hematological patients with febrile neutropenia. A total of 1466 samples (396 blood culture (BC)-positive, 1052 BC-negative, and 18 contaminated specimens) were included, comprising 268 Gram-negative, 88 Gram-positive, 19 fungal, and 21 polymicrobial BSIs. Median PCT value (0.72 ng/mL; IQR: 0.23-3.87) was significantly higher in Gram-negative than Gram-positive (0.34 ng/mL; IQR: 0.14-2.23; p < .01), or fungal (0.27 ng/mL; IQR: 0.13-0.40; p < .01) BSIs. In mono-microbial BSIs, the best PCT cutoff distinguishing Gram-negative BSIs from all other fever causes was 0.56 ng/ml, with a specificity of 76.8%. PCT levels were significantly higher in BSIs from multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative strains than from non-MDR (p < .01). This study confirms that elevated PCT may predict Gram-negative BSIs in hematological patients with febrile neutropenia, and demonstrates higher PCT levels in MDR Gram-negative BSIs in these patients.

Abstract
Patients with neutropenia are vulnerable to serious infections. During the last decade, increased prevalence of extended-spectrum ß-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae has affected immunocompromised patients. We conducted a single-center case-control study to evaluate factors associated with ESBL-positive bacteremia among neutropenic patients, and its clinical impact. The study included adult patients with hematologic or oncologic diseases diagnosed with ESBL-positive and ESBL-negative Escherichia coli or Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteremia during febrile neutropenia between January 2010 and October 2017 at the Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel. Analyses included risk factors for ESBL-positive bacteremia, appropriateness of empiric antibiotics, mortality, length of stay, and intensive care unit (ICU) admission. Univariate and multivariate models were constructed. The cohort (80 patients), consisted of 54 ESBL-negative and 26 ESBL-positive Gram-negative bacteremia. Multivariate analysis suggested ESBL-positive bacteremia to be associated with long-term central venous catheter (CVC) (odds ratio (OR), 8.7; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.6-48.1; P=0.01], index culture obtained 48 h post-admission (OR, 3.6; 95% CI, 1-12.3; P=0.04), and exposure to previous antimicrobial therapy (OR, 12.6; 95% CI, 2.1-74; P<0.01). There were no significant differences between groups with regard to length of stay, ICU admission, or mortality rates. Mortality was associated with high Pitt bacteremia score but not inappropriate empirical therapy. Previous antimicrobial therapy, long-term CVC, and hospital-acquired bacteremia were associated with ESBL bacteremia. Neutropenic patients with ESBL bacteremia have increased morality due to other factors than ESBL status. These findings should be validated in other centers and with larger populations.
