Abstract
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a common opportunistic pathogen that presents significant challenges in the treatment of infections due to its resistance to multiple antibiotics. In recent years, K. pneumoniae has been reported for the development of heteroresistance, a phenomenon where subpopulations of the susceptible bacteria exhibit resistance. This heteroresistance has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality rates. Complicating matters further, its definition and detection pose challenges, often leading to its oversight or misdiagnosis. Various mechanisms contribute to the development of heteroresistance in K. pneumoniae, and these mechanisms differ among different antibiotics. Even for the same antibiotic, multiple mechanisms may be involved. However, our current understanding of these mechanisms remains incomplete, and further research is needed to gain a more comprehensive understanding of heteroresistance. While the clinical recommendation is to use combination antibiotic therapy to mitigate heteroresistance, this approach also comes with several drawbacks and potential adverse effects. In this review, we discuss the definition, detection methods, molecular mechanisms, and treatment of heterogenic resistance, aiming to pave the way for more effective treatment and management in the future. However, addressing the problem of heteroresistance in K. pneumoniae represents a long and complex journey that necessitates comprehensive research efforts.

The colonization of Penicillium oxalicum SL2 on rice root surface increased Pb interception capacity of iron plaque and decreased Pb uptake by roots. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 925:171770.

Abstract
The exploration of microbial resources to reduce Pb accumulation in rice attracted great attention. In this study, we found Penicillium oxalicum SL2, a Pb-tolerant strain with good capability of dissolving phosphorus and stabilizing Pb in soil, was able to colonize on the root surface of rice seedlings without additional carbon sources, and promoted the secretion of metabolites related to amino acid metabolism, organic acid metabolism, signal transduction and other pathways in rhizosphere exudates, in which the secretion of oxalate increased by 47.7 %. However, P. oxalicum SL2 increased Fe(II) proportion and Fe availability on the root surface, resulting in iron plaque content decrease. Moreover, by converting root surface Pb from Pb-Fe state to PbC2O4 and Pb-P compounds, P. oxalicum SL2 increased Pb intercept capacity of iron plaque by 118.0 %. Furthermore, P. oxalicum SL2 regulated element distribution on the root surface, and reduced the relative content of Pb on the maturation zone of root tip, which was conducive to reducing Pb uptake by apoplastic pathway and the risk of Pb accumulation in root system. Our findings further revealed the interaction between P. oxalicum SL2 and rice root, providing a theoretical basis for the development and application of microbial agents in Pb-contaminated farmland.

Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2024; 68:e0154123. [PMID: 38319075 PMCID: PMC10916391 DOI: 10.1128/aac.01541-23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2023] [Accepted: 01/13/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Bacterial infections, including those caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, often lead to sepsis, necessitating effective antibiotic treatment like carbapenems. The key pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) index correlated to carbapenem efficacy is the fraction time of unbound plasma concentration above the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the pathogen (%fT > MIC). While multiple targets exist, determining the most effective one for critically ill patients remains a matter of debate. This study evaluated meropenem's bactericidal potency and its ability to combat drug resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa under three representative PK/PD targets: 40% fT > MIC, 100% fT > MIC, and 100% fT > 4× MIC. The hollow fiber infection model (HFIM) was constructed, validated, and subsequently inoculated with a substantial Pseudomonas aeruginosa load (1 × 108 CFU/mL). Different meropenem regimens were administered to achieve the specified PK/PD targets. At specified intervals, samples were collected from the HFIM system and subjected to centrifugation. The resulting supernatant was utilized to determine drug concentrations, while the precipitates were used to track changes in both total and drug-resistant bacterial populations over time by the spread plate method. The HFIM accurately reproduced meropenem's pharmacokinetics in critically ill patients. All three PK/PD target groups exhibited a rapid bactericidal response within 6 h of the initial treatment. However, the 40% fT > MIC and 100% fT > MIC groups subsequently showed bacterial resurgence and resistance, whereas the 100% fT > 4× MIC group displayed sustained bactericidal activity with no evidence of drug resistance. The HFIM system revealed that maintaining 100% fT > 4× MIC offers a desirable microbiological response for critically ill patients, demonstrating strong bactericidal capacity and effective prevention of drug resistance.

Abstract
PURPOSE With the escalating global challenge of antibiotic resistance, particularly the resistance rate of Acinetobacter baumannii, the need to rationalize carbapenem antibiotic use in clinical settings has become paramount. Our study tapped into a fishbone diagram to uncover the irrationalities in applying these antibiotics and highlight potential influencing factors. METHODS Based on these analyses, we initiated targeted intervention strategies. A PDCA cycle-based scientific management approach was implemented through the combined efforts of our antimicrobial stewardship team and relevant departments. RESULTS Our study showed a significant post-intervention increase in the rational use of carbapenem antibiotics (P < 0.01) and a concurrent decrease in the detection of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. CONCLUSION Our findings underscore that carbapenem usage can be effectively minimized with the continuous refinements offered by the PDCA cycle, leading to a reduction in multidrug-resistant bacteria, thus fostering rational drug use in healthcare.

Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2024; 17:257. [PMID: 38399472 PMCID: PMC10893297 DOI: 10.3390/ph17020257] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Valproic acid (VPA) is a broad-spectrum drug primarily used in the treatment of epilepsy and bipolar disorder. It is not an uncommon occurrence for VPA to cause intoxication. The established treatment of VPA poisoning includes supportive care, multiple doses of activated charcoal, levocarnitine and hemodialysis/hemoperfusion. There is a clinically significant interaction between carbapenem antibiotics and VPA. By affecting enterohepatic recirculation, carbapenems can increase the overall VPA clearance from the blood of intoxicated patients. It is suggested that carbapenems could successfully be used as antidotes in the treatment of acute VPA poisonings. THE AIM To evaluate the effectiveness of carbapenems in the treatment of patients acutely poisoned by VPA. PATIENTS AND METHODS This retrospective study included patients acutely poisoned by VPA and treated with carbapenems at the Department of Clinical Toxicology at the Military Medicinal Academy in Serbia for a two-year period. RESULTS After the admission, blood concentrations of VPA kept increasing, reaching their peak at 114-724 mg/L, while the mental state of the patients continued to decline, prompting a decision to introduce carbapenems. After the introduction of carbapenems, the concentrations of the drug dropped by 46-93.59% (average 72%) followed by rapid recovery of consciousness. Ten out of eleven patients had positive outcomes, while one patient died. The most commonly observed complication in our group of patients was bronchopneumonia. CONCLUSIONS The application of carbapenems for the management of acute VPA poisoning might be a useful and effective treatment option.

Abstract
Multidrug-resistant bacteria is one of the most important public health problems. Increasing rates of antibacterial resistance also affect the outcomes of medical approaches. Cancer treatment because of immune system deficiency (chemotherapy or steroids usage) commonly can cause infection. Lung cancer is the dominant cause of cancer-related deaths, and infection is the most common cause of death among those patients. In this study, it was aimed to determine the antimicrobial, antibiofilm, and anticancer activity of boron compounds. A549 lung cancer cell line was infected with Acinetobacter baumannii (ATCC 19606), Klebsiella pneumoniae (ATCC 700603), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853). In order to determine the fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) index, antibiotics and boron compound concentrations prepared according to the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values were determined by the checkerboard method. In our study results, the antibiofilm activity was an average of 46% in A. baumannii+boron compounds, 45% in P. aeruginosa+boron compounds, and 43% in K. pneumoniae. Cell culture analysis results show a decrease in viability and antioxidant capacity and an increase in total oxidant status after adding boron compounds to the culture. Immunofluorescence results show a correlation with MTT, and boron compounds increased 8-OHdG expression in comparison to antibiotic administration. In conclusion, boron compounds have promising effects on bacteria, especially in resistant bacteria spp.

Peptidoglycan biosynthesis-associated enzymatic kinetic characteristics and β-lactam antibiotic inhibitory effects of different Streptococcus pneumoniae penicillin-binding proteins. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 254:127784.

Abstract
Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) include transpeptidases, carboxypeptidases, and endopeptidases for biosynthesis of peptidoglycans in the cell wall to maintain bacterial morphology and survival in the environment. Streptococcus pneumoniae expresses six PBPs, but their enzymatic kinetic characteristics and inhibitory effects on different β-lactam antibiotics remain poorly understood. In this study, all the six recombinant PBPs of S. pneumoniae displayed transpeptidase activity with different substrate affinities (Km = 1.56-9.11 mM) in a concentration-dependent manner, and rPBP3 showed a greater catalytic efficiency (Kcat = 2.38 s-1) than the other rPBPs (Kcat = 3.20-7.49 × 10-2 s-1). However, only rPBP3 was identified as a carboxypeptidase (Km = 8.57 mM and Kcat = 2.57 s-1). None of the rPBPs exhibited endopeptidase activity. Penicillin and cefotaxime inhibited the transpeptidase and carboxypeptidase activity of all the rPBPs but imipenem did not inhibited the enzymatic activities of rPBP3. Except for the lack of binding of imipenem to rPBP3, penicillin, cefotaxime, and imipenem bound to all the other rPBPs (KD = 3.71-9.35 × 10-4 M). Sublethal concentrations of penicillin, cefotaxime, and imipenem induced a decrease of pneumococcal pbps-mRNA levels (p < 0.05). These results indicated that all six PBPs of S. pneumoniae are transpeptidases, while only PBP3 is a carboxypeptidase. Imipenem has no inhibitory effect on pneumococcal PBP3. The pneumococcal genes for encoding endopeptidases remain to be determined.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE The intestinal colonization of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is an important source of clinical infection. Our research showed that even single-day dose use of carbapenems caused CRKP colonization and continuous bacterial shedding, which reminds clinical doctors to prescribe carbapenems cautiously. Whenever possible, ertapenem should be the preferred choice over other carbapenems especially when the identified or highly suspected pathogens can be effectively targeted by ertapenem.

Abstract
Serratia marcescens is a Gram-negative bacterium presenting intrinsic resistance to polymyxins that has emerged as an important human pathogen. Although previous studies reported the occurrence of multidrug-resistance (MDR) S. marcescens isolates in the nosocomial settings, herein, we described isolates of this extensively drug-resistant (XDR) species recovered from stool samples of food-producing animals in the Brazilian Amazon region. Three carbapenem-resistant S. marcescens strains were recovered from stool samples of poultry and cattle. Genetic similarity analysis showed that these strains belonged to the same clone. Whole-genome sequencing of a representative strain (SMA412) revealed a resistome composed of genes encoding resistance to β-lactams [blaKPC-2, blaSRT-2], aminoglycosides [aac(6')-Ib3, aac(6')-Ic, aph(3')-VIa], quinolones [aac(6')-Ib-cr], sulfonamides [sul2], and tetracyclines [tet(41)]. In addition, the analysis of the virulome demonstrated the presence of important genes involved in the pathogenicity of this species (lipBCD, pigP, flhC, flhD, phlA, shlA, and shlB). Our data demonstrate that food-animal production can act as reservoirs for MDR and virulent strains of S. marcescens.

Octominin: An antimicrobial peptide with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activity against carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli both in vitro and in vivo. J Glob Antimicrob Resist 2023; 35:172-180. [PMID: 37716532 DOI: 10.1016/j.jgar.2023.09.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2023] [Revised: 08/26/2023] [Accepted: 09/07/2023] [Indexed: 09/18/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The emergence of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli (CREC) is a global concern as its prevalence restricts treatment options and poses a considerable threat to public health. In this study, in vitro and in vivo activity of the antimicrobial peptide Octominin against CREC was investigated to reveal possible mechanisms of action. Furthermore, its safety and factors influencing its antibacterial effect were assessed. Additionally, the anti-inflammatory effects of Octominin were examined. METHODS The antimicrobial activity of Octominin against 11 strains of CREC was determined using the broth microdilution method, growth curve, and time-kill assay. Its possible mechanism of action was unraveled using the propidium iodide and N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine fluorochrome and lipopolysaccharide-binding assays. To understand the safety and stability of Octominin, its cytotoxicity, hemolysis, and antibacterial activity under various conditions (i.e, temperature, ions) were estimated. Additionally, a Galleria mellonella infection model was utilized to evaluate the efficacy of Octominin in vivo, and qRT-PCR was performed to assess its effect on the expression of proinflammatory cytokines. RESULTS Octominin displayed a significant antibacterial effect, with MICs of 4-8 µg/mL and MBCs of 8-16 µg/mL. Octominin exerted its antibacterial effect by disrupting bacterial membranes. Cytotoxicity and hemolysis tests demonstrated the potential application of Octominin in vivo. The G. mellonella infection model asserted the in vivo efficacy of Octominin. Furthermore, Octominin inhibited the expression of proinflammatory cytokines. Although the temperature had little effect on its the activity, serum and ions reduced activity. CONCLUSION Octominin is a promising alternative agent with remarkable antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects for treating infections caused by CREC.

Abstract
Vegetables are crucial for a healthy human diet due to their abundance of essential macronutrients and micronutrients. However, there have been increased reports of antimicrobial-resistant Enterobacteriaceae isolated from vegetables. Enterobacteriaceae is a large group of Gram-negative bacteria that can act as commensals, intestinal pathogens, or opportunistic extraintestinal pathogens. Extraintestinal infections caused by Enterobacteriaceae are a clinical concern due to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). β-lactams have high efficacy against Gram-negative bacteria and low toxicity for eukaryotic cells. These antimicrobials are widely used in the treatment of Enterobacteriaceae extraintestinal infections. This review aimed to conduct a literature survey of the last five years (2018-2023) on the occurrence of β-lactam-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in vegetables. Research was carried out in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and LILACS (Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature) databases. After a careful evaluation, thirty-seven articles were selected. β-lactam-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, including extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs)-producing, AmpC β-lactamases, and carbapenemases, have been isolated from a wide variety of vegetables. Vegetables are vectors of β-lactam-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, contributing to the dissemination of resistance mechanisms previously observed only in the hospital environment.

Abstract
Among the various bacterial infections, tuberculosis (TB) remains a life-threatening infectious disease responsible as the most significant cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. The co-infection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in association with TB burdens the healthcare system substantially. Notably, M.tb possesses defence against most antitubercular antibiotic drugs, and the efficacy of existing frontline anti-TB drugs is waning. Also, new and recurring cases of TB from resistant bacteria such as multidrug-resistant TB (MDR), extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR), and totally drug-resistant TB (TDR) strains are increasing. Hence, TB begs the scientific community to explore the new therapeutic class of compounds with their novel mechanism. M.tb requires iron from host cells to sustain, grow, and carry out several biological processes. M.tb has developed strategic methods of acquiring iron from the surrounding environment. In this communication, we discuss an overview of M.tb iron-scavenging tools. Also, we have summarized recently identified MbtA and MbtI inhibitors, which prevent M.tb from scavenging iron. These iron-scavenging tool inhibitors have the potential to be developed as anti-TB agents/drugs.

Abstract
Carbapenems are a group of broad-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotics that in many cases are the last effective defense against infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria, such as some strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii. Resistance to carbapenems has emerged and is beginning to spread, becoming an ongoing public-health problem of global dimensions, causing serious outbreaks, and dramatically limiting treatment options. This paper reviews the role of flavin monooxygenases in antibiotic resistance, with a specific focus on carbapenem resistance and the recently discovered mechanism mediated by Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases. Flavin monooxygenases are enzymes involved in the metabolism and detoxification of compounds, including antibiotics. Understanding their role in antibiotic resistance is crucial. Carbapenems are powerful antibiotics used to treat severe infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria. However, the rise of carbapenem-resistant strains poses a significant challenge. This paper explores the mechanisms by which flavin monooxygenases confer resistance to carbapenems, examining molecular pathways and genetic factors. Additionally, this paper highlights the discovery of Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases' involvement in antibiotic resistance. These enzymes catalyze the insertion of oxygen atoms into specific chemical bonds. Recent studies have revealed their unexpected role in promoting carbapenem resistance. Through a comprehensive analysis of the literature, this paper contributes to the understanding of the interplay between flavin monooxygenases, carbapenem resistance, and Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases. By exploring these mechanisms, it aims to inform the development of strategies to combat antibiotic resistance, a critical global health concern.

Abstract
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) are important pathogens that can develop resistance via multiple molecular mechanisms, including hydrolysis or reduced antibiotic influx. Identifying these mechanisms can improve pathogen surveillance, infection control, and patient care. We investigated how resistance mechanisms influence the carbapenem inoculum effect (IE), a phenomenon where inoculum size affects antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). We demonstrated that seven different carbapenemases impart a meropenem IE in Escherichia coli. Across 110 clinical CRE isolates, the carbapenem IE strictly depended on resistance mechanism: all carbapenemase-producing CRE (CP-CRE) exhibited a strong IE, whereas porin-deficient CRE displayed none. Concerningly, 50% and 24% of CP-CRE isolates changed susceptibility classification to meropenem and ertapenem, respectively, across the allowable inoculum range in clinical guidelines. The meropenem IE, and the ratio of ertapenem to meropenem minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) at standard inoculum, reliably identified CP-CRE. Understanding how resistance mechanisms affect AST could improve diagnosis and guide therapies for CRE infections.

Abstract
Metallo-β-lactamases (MβLs) are the primary mechanism of resistance to carbapenem antibiotics. To elucidate how MβLs have evolved with the introduction and use of antibiotics, the mutation and evolution of SMB-1 from Serratia marcescens were investigated in microbial evolution plates containing discontinuous meropenem (MEM) concentration gradients. The results revealed 2-point mutations, A242G and S257R; 1 double-site mutation, C240G/E258G; and 3 frameshift mutations, M5, M12, and M13, which are all missense mutations situated at the C-terminus. Compared with that of the wild-type (WT), the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of MEM for A242G, C240G/E258G, M5, M12, and M13 increased at least 120-fold, and that of S257R increased 8-fold. The catalytic efficiency kcat/Km increased by 365% and 647%, respectively. Concerning the structural changes, the structure at the active site changed from an ordered structure to an unordered conformation. Simultaneously, the flexibility of loop 1 was enhanced. These changes increased the volume of the active site cavity; thus, this was more conducive to exposing the Zn2+ site, facilitating substrate binding and conversion to products. In A242G, structural changes in Gly-242 can be transmitted to the active region via a network of interactions between the side chains of Gly-242 and the amino acid side chains near the active pocket. Together, these results pointed to the process of persistent drug tolerance and resistance, the SMB-1 enzyme evolved into a more exquisite structure with increased flexibility and stability, and stronger hydrolysis activity via genetic mutations and structural changes.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:13751. [PMID: 37762057 PMCID: PMC10531396 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241813751] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Revised: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 08/30/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study, we established a novel capillary electrophoresis method for monitoring the concentration of doripenem in human plasma. As a time-dependent antibiotic, doripenem maximizes its antibacterial effects and minimizes the potential for antibiotic resistance through careful therapeutic drug monitoring. Two online preconcentration techniques, field-enhanced sample stacking (FESS) and sweeping, were coupled to enhance the detection sensitivity. Briefly, an uncoated fused silica capillary (40 cm × 50 μm i.d) was rinsed with a high conductivity buffer (HCB) composed of 150 mM phosphate buffer (NaH2PO4, pH 2.5) and 20% methanol. A large sample plug prepared in a low-conductivity phosphate buffer (50 mM NaH2PO4, pH 2.5) was then hydrodynamically injected (5 psi, 80 s) into the capillary. Under an applied voltage of -30 kV, the analyte was accumulated at the FESS boundary and swept by the negatively charged micelles toward the UV detector. Plasma samples were pretreated by solid-phase extraction (SPE) to eliminate endogenous interferences. The validation results demonstrated a high coefficient of determination (r2 > 0.9995) for the regression curve with impressive precision and accuracy: relative standard deviation (RSD) <5.86% and relative error <4.63%. The limit of detection (LOD, S/N = 3) for doripenem was determined to be 0.4 μg/mL. Compared to the conventional micellar electrokinetic chromatography method, our developed method achieved a sensitivity enhancement of up to 488-fold for doripenem. Furthermore, the newly developed method successfully quantified doripenem concentrations in plasma samples obtained from patients accepting doripenem regimens, proving its application potential in the clinical realm.

Abstract
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are emerging all the time, but the continued emergence of novel resistance genes and genetic structures is even more alarming. Tigecycline is currently the important last barrier in the treatment of multidrug-resistant (MDR) infections. tet(X), a resistance gene to tigecycline, is the most prevalent and constantly emerging novel variants. In this research, we characterized two MDR Acinetobacter indicus strains to tigecycline that were identified and analyzed by antimicrobial susceptibility testing, conjugation transfer, whole genome sequencing (WGS) and bioinformatics analysis, and gene function analysis. The results showed that three tet(X) variants were carried in BDT201, including tet(X6) on the chromosome, tet(X3) on the plasmid pBDT201-2, and a novel tet(X5) variant adjacent to the ISAba1 elements on the plasmid pBDT201-3. The novel Tet(X5) variant showed 98.7% amino acid identity with Tet(X5) and was named Tet(X5.4). By expressing tet(X5.4) gene, the tigecycline minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values for Escherichia coli JM109 increased 32- fold (from 0.13 to 4 mg/L). BDT2076 contained tigecycline and carbapenems resistance genes, such as tet(X3), blaOXA-58, blaNDM-3, and blaCARB-2. The continuous emergence of MDR bacteria and resistance genes is a global environmental health issue that can not be ignored and therefore needs to pay more urgent attention to it.

Beneficial herb-drug interaction of rhein in Jinhongtang and Imipenem/Cilastatin mediated by organic anion transporters. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 312:116449. [PMID: 37023835 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.116449] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2022] [Revised: 03/12/2023] [Accepted: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 05/08/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Jinhongtang as a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula, has been widely used as a clinical adjuvant in the treatment of acute abdominal diseases and sepsis. Clinical benefits of the concurrent use of Jinhongtang and antibiotics have been observed, however, the mechanism has not been fully understood. AIM OF THE STUDY The present study aimed to explore the effect of Jinhongtang on the antibacterial activity of Imipenem/Cilastatin and to clarify the underlying mechanism of herb-drug interaction (HDI). MATERIALS AND METHODS A mouse model of sepsis induced by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) was used to evaluate the pharmacodynamic interaction in vivo. In vitro antibacterial activity of Imipenem/Cilastatin was studied by determining minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC). Pharmacokinetic interaction was investigated by pharmacokinetic studies in rats and uptake assays using OAT1/3-HEK293 cells. The main constituents ingested into blood of rats were qualitatively identified by UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS. RESULTS Mice treated by Imipenem/Cilastatin and Jinhongtang exhibited higher survival rate, lower bacteria load and less inflammation in blood and lung tissues, compared with those treated by Imipenem/Cilastatin alone after injection of S. aureus. However, MIC and MBC of Imipenem/Cilastatin against S. aureus in vitro were not significantly changed in the presence of Jinhongtang. On the contrary, Jinhongtang increased the plasma concentration of Imipenem and decreased its urinary excretion in rats. CLr of Imipenem was reduced by 58.5%, while its half-life (t1/2) was prolonged for approximate 1.2 times after coadministered Jinhongtang. Furthermore, the extracts of Jinhongtang, single herb in the prescription, and main absorbable constituents inhibited cellular uptake of probe substrates and Imipenem by OAT1/3-HEK293 cells to different extents. Among them, rhein exhibited the strongest inhibition capacity with IC50 values of 0.08 ± 0.01 μM (OAT1) and 2.86 ± 0.28 μM (OAT3). Moreover, coadministration of rhein also significantly enhanced the antibacterial activity of Imipenem/Cilastatin in sepsis mice. CONCLUSION Concomitant administration of Jinhongtang enhanced antibacterial activity of Imipenem/Cilastatin in sepsis mice induced by S. aureus through reducing renal elimination of Imipenem via inhibition of OATs. Our investigation provided the insight of Jinhongtang as an effective supplement to enhance the antibacterial activity of Imipenem/Cilastatin and can be useful for future clinical studies.

Abstract
Carbapenems are considered a last resort for the treatment of multi-drug-resistant bacterial infections in humans. In this study, we investigated the occurrence of carbapenem-resistant bacteria in feedlots in Alberta, Canada. The presumptive carbapenem-resistant isolates (n = 116) recovered after ertapenem enrichment were subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing against 12 different antibiotics, including four carbapenems. Of these, 72% of the isolates (n = 84) showed resistance to ertapenem, while 27% of the isolates (n = 31) were resistant to at least one other carbapenem, with all except one isolate being resistant to at least two other drug classes. Of these 31 isolates, 90% were carbapenemase positive, while a subset of 36 ertapenem-only resistant isolates were carbapenemase negative. The positive isolates belonged to three genera; Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, and Stenotrophomonas, with the majority being Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 20) as identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Whole genome sequencing identified intrinsic carbapenem resistance genes, including blaOXA-50 and its variants (P. aeruginosa), blaOXA-265 (A. haemolyticus), blaOXA-648 (A. lwoffii), blaOXA-278 (A. junii), and blaL1 and blaL2 (S. maltophilia). The acquired carbapenem resistance gene (blaPST-2) was identified in P. saudiphocaensis and P. stutzeri. In a comparative genomic analysis, clinical P. aeruginosa clustered separately from those recovered from bovine feces. In conclusion, despite the use of selective enrichment methods, finding carbapenem-resistant bacteria within a feedlot environment was a rarity.

Abstract
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are the strains diverted from the intestinal status and account mainly for uropathogenicity. This pathotype has gained specifications in structure and virulence to turn into a competent uropathogenic organism. Biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance play an important role in the organism's persistence in the urinary tract. Increased consumption of carbapenem prescribed for multidrug-resistant (MDR) and Extended-spectrum-beta lactamase (ESBL)-producing UPECs, has added to the expansion of resistance. The World Health Organization (WHO) and Centre for Disease Control (CDC) placed the Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) on their treatment priority lists. Understanding both patterns of pathogenicity, and multiple drug resistance may provide guidance for the rational use of anti-bacterial agents in the clinic. Developing an effective vaccine, adherence-inhibiting compounds, cranberry juice, and probiotics are non-antibiotical approaches proposed for the treatment of drug-resistant UTIs. We aimed to review the distinguishing characteristics, current therapeutic options and promising non-antibiotical approaches against ESBL-producing and CRE UPECs.

Estimating the effect of increasing ambient temperature on antimicrobial resistance in China: A nationwide ecological study with the difference-in-differences approach. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 882:163518. [PMID: 37080321 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.163518] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2023] [Revised: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 04/11/2023] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and the possible consequences of rising ambient temperatures brought on by global warming have been extensively discussed. However, the epidemiological evidence on the effects of temperature on AMR is rare and little is known about the role of socioeconomic inequities. This ecological study obtained 31 provinces AMR data of Escherichia Coli (E. coli) from the China Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System (CARSS) over the period from 2014 to 2020, which were linked to the meteorological and socioeconomic data published in the China Statistical Yearbook. Modified difference-in-differences (DID) analyses were performed to estimate the effect of ambient temperature on AMR of E. coli to third-generation cephalosporins (ceftriaxone and cefotaxime), carbapenems, and quinolones, adjusting for variations in meteorological and socioeconomic factors. We estimated that every 1 °C increase in average ambient temperature was associated with 2.71 % (95 % confidence interval [CI]: 1.20-4.24), 32.92 % (95 % CI: 15.62-52.81), and 1.81 % (95 % CI: 0.47-3.16) increase in the prevalence of E. coli resistance to third-generation cephalosporins (ceftriaxone and cefotaxime), carbapenems and quinolones, respectively. The link was more profound in the regions with lower temperature and a median level of average humidity, and the regions with lower income, lower expenditure (in economics), lower health resources, and lower hospital admissions. Neither the replacement of the temperature variable nor the alternative approaches for confounding adjustment changed the positive association between ambient temperature and AMR. In general, there exists a positive association between ambient temperature and AMR, although the strength of such an association varies by socioeconomic and health services factors. The association is possibly nonlinear, especially for E. coli resistance to third-generation cephalosporins. The findings suggest that AMR control programs should explicitly incorporate weather patterns to increase their effectiveness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND New tetracycline derivatives exhibit broad-spectrum antimicrobial activities. This study aimed to assess the in vitro activity of eravacycline against common Enterobacterales. METHODS Clinical Enterobacterales isolates were collected between 2017 and 2021. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined using a broth microdilution test. RESULTS We identified Klebsiella pneumoniae (n = 300), Escherichia coli (n = 300), Klebsiella oxytoca (n = 100), Enterobacter cloacae complex (n = 100), Citrobacter freundii (n = 100), and Proteus mirabilis (n = 100). All P. mirabilis strains were resistant to eravacycline. Excluding P. mirabilis, the susceptibility rates to eravacycline, omadacycline, and tigecycline were 75.2%, 66.9%, and 73%, respectively. The MIC50 and MIC90 (mg/L) of eravacycline were 0.5 and 4 for K. pneumoniae, 0.5 and 1 for E. coli, 0.5 and 1 for K. oxytoca, 0.5 and 2 for E. cloacae complex, and 0.25 and 1 for C. freundii. In cefotaxime non-susceptible and meropenem susceptible Enterobacterales, excluding P. mirabilis, the susceptibility rates of eravacycline, omadacycline, and tigecycline were 69.7%, 57.1%, and 66.2%. We found decreased susceptibility rates of three new tetracycline derivatives against meropenem non-susceptible Enterobacterales (eravacycline: 47.1%, omadacycline: 39.4%, and tigecycline: 39.4%). Eravacycline showed a high susceptibility rate against cefotaxime non-susceptible and meropenem susceptible K. oxytoca (100%), C. freundii (93.2%), E. coli (85.9%), and meropenem non-susceptible E. coli (100%). CONCLUSION This study provides the MIC and susceptibility rate of eravacycline for common Enterobacterales. Eravacycline could be a therapeutic choice for cefotaxime non-susceptible or meropenem non-susceptible Enterobacterales, especially K. oxytoca, C. freundii, and E. coli.

Abstract
Among the various bacterial infections, tuberculosis continues to hold center stage. Its causative agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, possesses robust defense mechanisms against most front-line antibiotic drugs and host responses due to their complex cell membranes with unique lipid molecules. It is now well-established that bacteria change their membrane composition to optimize their environment to survive and elude drug action. Thus targeting membrane or membrane components is a promising avenue for exploiting the chemical space focussed on developing novel membrane-centric anti-bacterial small molecules. These approaches are more effective, non-toxic, and can attenuate resistance phenotype. We present the relevance of targeting the mycobacterial membrane as a practical therapeutic approach. The review highlights the direct and indirect targeting of membrane structure and function. Direct membrane targeting agents cause perturbation in the membrane potential and can cause leakage of the cytoplasmic contents. In contrast, indirect membrane targeting agents disrupt the function of membrane-associated proteins involved in cell wall biosynthesis or energy production. We discuss the chronological chemical improvements in various scaffolds targeting specific membrane-associated protein targets, their clinical evaluation, and up-to-date account of their ''mechanisms of action, potency, selectivity'' and limitations. The sources of anti-TB drugs/inhibitors discussed in this work have emerged from target-based identification, cell-based phenotypic screening, drug repurposing, and natural products. We believe this review will inspire the exploration of uncharted chemical space for informing the development of new scaffolds that can inhibit novel mycobacterial membrane targets.

Abstract
Gram-negative periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) has been poorly studied despite its rapidly increasing incidence. Treatment with one-stage revision using intra-articular (IA) infusion of antibiotics may offer a reasonable alternative with a distinct advantage of providing a means of delivering the drug in high concentrations. Carbapenems are regarded as the last line of defense against severe Gram-negative or polymicrobial infection. This study presents the results of one-stage revision using intra-articular carbapenem infusion for treating Gram-negative PJI, and analyzes the characteristics of bacteria distribution and drug sensitivity. We retrospectively reviewed 32 patients (22 hips and 11 knees) who underwent single-stage revision combined with IA carbapenem infusion between November 2013 and March 2020. The IA and intravenous (IV) carbapenem infusions were administered for a single Gram-negative infection, and IV vancomycin combined with IA carbapenems and vancomycin was applied for polymicrobial infection including Gram-negative bacteria. The bacterial community distribution, drug sensitivity, infection control rate, functional recovery, and complications were evaluated. Reinfection or death caused by PJI was regarded as a treatment failure. Gram-negative PJI was mainly caused by Escherichia coli (8/34), Enterobacter cloacae (7/34), and Klebsiella pneumoniae (5/34). Seven cases (7/32) involved polymicrobial PJIs. The resistance rates of penicillin, cephalosporin, quinolones, and sulfonamides were > 10%, and all penicillin and partial cephalosporins (first and second generation) were > 30%. Of 32 cases, treatment failed to eradicate infection in only three cases (9.4%), at a mean follow-up of 55.1 months (SD 25 to 90). The mean postoperative Harris Hip Score and Hospital for Special Surgery knee score at the most recent follow-up were 81 (62 to 91) and 79 (56 to 89), respectively. One patient developed a fistula, and another presented with a local rash on an infected joint. The use of IA carbapenem delivered alongside one-stage revision effectively controlled Gram-negative infection and obtained acceptable clinical outcomes with few complications. Notably, first- and second-generation cephalosporins and penicillin should be administrated with caution, due to a high incidence of resistance.

Abstract
An understanding of the changes in gut microbiome composition and its associated metabolic functions is important to assess the potential implications thereof on host health. Thus, to elucidate the connection between the gut microbiome and the fecal and plasma metabolomes, two poorly bioavailable carbapenem antibiotics (doripenem and meropenem), were administered in a 28-day oral study to male and female Wistar rats. Additionally, the recovery of the gut microbiome and metabolomes in doripenem-exposed rats were studied one and two weeks after antibiotic treatment (i.e., doripenem-recovery groups). The 16S bacterial community analysis revealed an altered microbial population in all antibiotic treatments and a recovery of bacterial diversity in the doripenem-recovery groups. A similar pattern was observed in the fecal metabolomes of treated animals. In the recovery group, particularly after one week, an over-compensation was observed in fecal metabolites, as they were significantly changed in the opposite direction compared to previously changed metabolites upon 28 days of antibiotic exposure. Key plasma metabolites known to be diagnostic of antibiotic-induced microbial shifts, including indole derivatives, hippuric acid, and bile acids were also affected by the two carbapenems. Moreover, a unique increase in the levels of indole-3-acetic acid in plasma following meropenem treatment was observed. As was observed for the fecal metabolome, an overcompensation of plasma metabolites was observed in the recovery group. The data from this study provides insights into the connectivity of the microbiome and fecal and plasma metabolomes and demonstrates restoration post-antibiotic treatment not only for the microbiome but also for the metabolomes. The importance of overcompensation reactions for health needs further studies.

Abstract
Due to the overuse of antibiotics, bacterial resistance has markedly increased to become a global problem and a major threat to human health. Fortunately, in recent years, various new antibiotics have been developed through both improvements to traditional antibiotics and the discovery of antibiotics with novel mechanisms with the aim of addressing the decrease in the efficacy of traditional antibiotics. This manuscript reviews the antibiotics that have been approved for marketing in the last 20 years with an emphasis on the antibacterial properties, mechanisms, structure-activity relationships (SARs), and clinical safety of these antibiotics. Furthermore, the current deficiencies, opportunities for improvement, and prospects of antibiotics are thoroughly discussed to provide new insights for the design and development of safer and more potent antibiotics.

Abstract
The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae is associated with high morbidity and mortality due to limited treatment options. This study attempts to biologically synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and investigate their effect on expression levels of virulence and biofilm-related genes in clinically isolated K. pneumoniae. In this study, biofilm formation ability, antibiotic resistance pattern, extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs), and carbapenemases production were investigated for 200 clinical isolates of K. pneumoniae using phenotypic methods. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect virulence and biofilm-related genes, ESBL-encoding genes, and carbapenem resistance genes. AgNPs were synthesized using the bio-reduction method. The antibacterial effects of AgNPs were investigated by microdilution broth. In addition, the cytotoxic effect of AgNPs on L929 fibroblast cell lines was determined. The effects of AgNPs on K. pneumoniae virulence and biofilm-related genes (fimH, rmpA, and mrkA) were determined using quantitative real-time PCR. Thirty percent of the isolates produced a strong biofilm. The highest and lowest levels of resistance were observed against amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (95.4%) and tigecycline (96%), respectively. About 31% of isolates were considered positive for carbapenemases, and 75% of the isolates produced an ESBLs enzyme. Different frequencies of mentioned genes were observed. The synthesized AgNPs had a spherical morphology and varied in size. AgNPs inhibited the growth of MDR K. pneumoniae at 128 µg/ml. In addition, AgNPs downregulated the expression of fimH, rmpA, and mrkA genes by 10, 7, and 14-fold, respectively (p < 0.05), also exerted no cytotoxic effect on L929 fibroblast cell lines. It was revealed that AgNPs lead to a decrease in expression levels of virulence and biofilm-related genes; therefore, it was concluded that AgNPs had an excellent antibacterial effect on MDR K. pneumoniae.

Abstract
Background The occurrence of extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing bacteria such as Escherichia coli has increasingly become recognized beyond hospital settings. Resistance to other types of antibiotics limits treatment options while the existence of such bacteria among humans, animals, and the environment is suggestive of potential zoonotic and reverse-zoonotic transmission. This study aimed to establish the antibiotic susceptibility profiles of the ESBL-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-EC) from human, animal, and environmental isolates obtained among farming households within Wakiso district using a One Health approach. Methods A total of 100 ESBL-EC isolates from humans 35/100 (35%), animals 56/100 (56%), and the environment 9/100 (9%) were tested for susceptibility to 11 antibiotics. This was done using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines. Data were analyzed in STATA ver. 16 and graphs were drawn in Microsoft excel ver. 10. Results Most of the ESBL-EC isolates (98%) were resistant to more than two antibiotics. ESBL-EC isolates were most susceptible to meropenem (MEM) (88.0%), and imipenem (82.0%) followed by gentamicin (72%). ESBL-EC isolates from humans were most susceptible to meropenem (MEM) followed by imipenem (IPM)> gentamicin (CN)> ciprofloxacin (CIP). Animal samples were more susceptible to MEM, IPM, and CN but were highly resistant to cefotaxime (CTX)> cefepime (FEP)>other antibiotics. Multidrug resistance (MDR) was mostly reported among households keeping goats under intensive husbandry practices. Seven percent of the isolates exhibited carbapenem resistance while 22% showed aminoglycoside resistance. Similar resistance patterns among humans, animals, and environmental samples were also reported. Conclusion Our study provides baseline information on non-hospital-based MDR caused by ESBL-EC using a One Health approach. ESBL-EC isolates were prevalent among apparently healthy community members, animals, and their environment. It is important to conduct more One Health approach studies to generate evidence on the drivers, resistance patterns, and transmission of ESBL-producing organisms at the human-animal-environmental interface.

Abstract
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has posed a severe global health threat. In this study, we screened an antibiotic and non-antibiotic combination that provides a viable strategy to solve this issue by broadening the antimicrobial spectrum. We found that chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) could synergistically act with carbapenem antibiotics to eradicate MRSA-related infections. This synergy specifically targets MRSA and was also validated using 25 clinical MRSA strains using time-kill analysis. We speculated that the underlying mechanism was associated with the interaction of penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). As a result, the synergistic efficiency of CDCA with carbapenems targeting PBP1 was better than that of β-lactams targeting PBPs. Moreover, we showed that CDCA did not affect the expression level of PBPs, but sensitized MRSA to carbapenems by disrupting the cell membrane. In our study, we have revealed a novel synergistic combination of antibiotics and non-antibiotics to combat potential bacterial infections.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Gram-negative bacilli (GNB) are common pathogens of infection in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), and their occurrence increases the mortality of SAP. Early identification of SAP severity and prognosis is of great significance to SAP treatment. This study explored risk factors for mortality in patients with SAP and GNB infection and established a model for early prediction of the risk of death in GNB-infected SAP patients. METHODS Patients diagnosed with SAP from January 1, 2016, to March 31, 2022, were included, and their baseline clinical characteristics were collected. Univariate logistic regression analysis was performed to screen for death related variables, and concurrently, a Boruta analysis was performed to identify potentially important clinical features associated with mortality. The intersection of the two results was taken for further multivariate logistic regression analysis. A logistic regression model was constructed according to the independent risk factor of death and then visualized with a nomogram. The performance of the model was further validated in the training and validation cohort. RESULTS A total of 151 patients with SAP developed GNB infections. Univariate logistic regression analysis identified 11 variables associated with mortality. The Boruta analysis identified 11 clinical features, and 4 out of 9 clinical variables: platelet counts (odds ratio [OR] 0.99, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.99-1.00; p = 0.007), hemoglobin (OR 0.96, 95% CI 0.92-1; p = 0.037), septic shock (OR 6.33, 95% CI 1.12-43.47; p = 0.044), and carbapenem resistance (OR 7.99, 95% CI 1.66-52.37; p = 0.016), shared by both analyses were further selected as independent risk factors by multivariate logistic regression analysis. A nomogram was used to visualize the model. The model demonstrated good performance in both training and validation cohorts with recognition sensitivity and specificity of 96% and 80% in the training cohort and 92.8% and 75% in the validation cohort, respectively. CONCLUSION The nomogram can accurately predict the mortality risk of patients with SAP and GNB infection. The clinical application of this model allows early identification of the severity and prognosis for patients with SAP and GNB infection and identification of patients requiring urgent management thus allowing rationalization of treatment options and improvements in clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Objectives The addition of novel β-lactamase inhibitors to carbapenems restores the activity against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. The aim of this study was to summarize the evidence on the efficacy and safety of novel carbapenem–β-lactamase inhibitor combinations. Methods We conducted a meta-analysis of clinical trials comparing novel carbapenem–β-lactamase inhibitor combinations with comparators to assess the clinical and microbiological responses, mortality, and adverse events (AEs). Results A total of 1,984 patients were included. The pooled risk ratios (RRs) of clinical cure, microbiological eradication, all-cause mortality, and 28-day mortality were 1.11 (95% CI: 0.98–1.26), 0.98 (95% CI: 0.82–1.16), 0.90 (95% CI: 0.49–0.94), and 0.68 (95% CI: 0.49–0.94) between the novel carbapenem–β-lactamase inhibitor combinations and control groups. Sensitivity analysis revealed that the phase II trial of imipenem–cilastatin/relebactam (ICR) against complicated urinary tract infections could be the most important factor of heterogeneity for the microbiological response. The therapeutic effect of novel carbapenem–β-lactamase inhibitor combinations was better in meropenem–vaborbactam (MEV), phase III trials, and number of patients less than 200. The RRs of AEs from any cause and serious adverse events (SAEs) for patients receiving novel carbapenem–β-lactamase inhibitor combinations were 0.98 (95% CI: 0.93–1.04) and 1.01 (95% CI: 0.75–1.36), respectively. Conclusions ICR and MEV were superior to comparators for clinical cure and survival rate in the treatment of complicated infections, and both were as tolerable as the comparators.

Abstract
Background The emergence of carbapenem and colistin co-resistant Escherichia coli poses a huge challenge to infection control. The purpose of this study was to clarify the mechanism of the carbapenems and colistin co-resistance in E. coli strains. Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility test was carried out by agar dilution methods and colistin resistance was confirmed by broth microdilution methods. Whole genome sequencing was carried out, and resistance genes, sequence types and virulence genes of carbapenems and colistin co-resistance E. coli isolates were analyzed. Results The results showed that among the 176 carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae strains, 5 multidrug resistant E. coli strains exhibiting coresistance to carbapenem and colistin. The main mechanism of 5 E. coli strains in this study was generating carbapenem. Four E. coli strains were mcr-positive, while one mcr-negative strain had a new MgrB mutation. The blaNDM-5, blaCTX-M-65, blaOXA-10, blaTEM-1 and mcr-1.1 genes were simultaneously detected in E. coli 20IR1127 strain belonging to ST156 lineage. Other antimicrobial resistance genes encoding aminoglycosides-, sulfonamide-, chloramphenicol-, tetracyclines- and macrolides resistance were also detected. Conclusion The main mechanisms of carbapenem and colistin resistance were encoded by blaNDM and mcr1.1, meanwhile mgrB mutations also contribute to colistin resistance. To our knowledge, this study is the first to report of E. coli ST156 strain in which the blaNDM-5, blaCTX-M-65, blaOXA-10, blaTEM-1 and mcr1.1 genes coexist. In addition, there is also an E. coli ST457 strain, which carries blaTEM-1, blaNDM-9, blaCTX-M-199 and is positive for mcr1.1 gene.

Abstract
The global emergence and spread of genes responsible for the production of ESBL (extended-spectrum beta-lactamases) and carbapenemases in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates poses a serious threat to public health. The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze the frequency of occurrence and drug resistance of selected alarm agents isolated from patients of the specialist hospital in Wrocław. A total of 13,528 clinical materials collected from patients of a specialist hospital in Wrocław were analyzed in the period from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020. Overall, 3894 bacterial strains were isolated from clinical materials, including 416 K. pneumoniae isolates. K. pneumoniae that showed resistance to ETP (ertapenem) and/or MEM (meropenem) were tested using phenotypic tests for the detection of KPC (carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella), MBL (metallo-β-lactamase) and OXA-48 (oxacilinase-48) carbapenemases. In the case of a positive or doubtful result of the phenotypic test, immunochromatographic tests and the CarbaNP test were performed. In total, 58 K. pneumoniae isolates resistant to 1 or more carbapenem antibiotics were isolated. Of the 58 strains, 16 (27.6%) were isolated from rectal swabs conducted on CPE (carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae) carriers. In the case of CRE (carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae) K. pneumoniae, carbapenemases were detected in 28/58 (48.3%) isolates. Notably, 23/28 K. pneumoniae isolates produced MBL/NDM (New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase) (82.1%), 5/28 produced VIM (Verona-intergon-encoded metallo-β-lactamase) (14.3%), and one produced MBL/NDM + OXA-48. Carbapenemases were detected in 13 of 16 (81.3%) carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae isolates derived from rectal swabs. The significant participation of CRE and CPE isolates in the infections proves the need to test patients admitted to hospital wards for their status as a CPE carrier in order to limit the emergence of new epidemic outbreaks.

Impact of Antibiotics as Waste, Physical, Chemical, and Enzymatical Degradation: Use of Laccases. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27144436.

Abstract
The first traces of Tetracycline (TE) were detected in human skeletons from Sudan and Egypt, finding that it may be related to the diet of the time, the use of some dyes, and the use of soils loaded with microorganisms, such as Streptomyces spp., among other microorganisms capable of producing antibiotics. However, most people only recognise authors dating between 1904 and 1940, such as Ehrlich, Domagk, and Fleming. Antibiotics are the therapeutic option for countless infections treatment; unfortunately, they are the second most common group of drugs in wastewaters worldwide due to failures in industrial waste treatments (pharmaceutics, hospitals, senior residences) and their irrational use in humans and animals. The main antibiotics problem lies in delivered and non-prescribed human use, use in livestock as growth promoters, and crop cultivation as biocides (regulated activities that have not complied in some places). This practice has led to the toxicity of the environment as antibiotics generate eutrophication, water pollution, nutrient imbalance, and press antibiotic resistance. In addition, the removal of antibiotics is not a required process in global wastewater treatment standards. This review aims to raise awareness of the negative impact of antibiotics as residues and physical, chemical, and biological treatments for their degradation. We discuss the high cost of physical and chemical treatments, the risk of using chemicals that worsen the situation, and the fact that each antibiotic class can be transformed differently with each of these treatments and generate new compounds that could be more toxic than the original ones; also, we discuss the use of enzymes for antibiotic degradation, with emphasis on laccases.

Abstract
Carbapenems are an applicable subclass of β-lactam drugs in the antibiotic therapy of anaerobic infections, especially for poly-microbial cases, due to their broad antimicrobial spectrum on aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Bacteroides fragilis is the most commonly recovered anaerobic bacteria in the clinical laboratories from mono- and poly-microbial infections. B. fragilis is relatively non-susceptible to different antibiotics, including β-lactams, tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones, and macrolides. Carbapenems are among the most effective drugs against B. fragilis strains with high-level resistance to different antibiotics. Increased antibiotic resistance of B. fragilis strains has been reported following the overuse of an antimicrobial agent. Earlier contact with carbapenems is linked with increased resistance to them that limits the options for treatment of B. fragilis caused infections, especially in cases caused by multidrug-resistant strains. Several molecular mechanisms of resistance to carbapenems have been described for different carbapenem-resistant bacteria. Understanding the mechanisms of resistance to antimicrobial agents is necessary for selecting alternative antimicrobial agents and the application of control strategies. In the present study, we reviewed the mechanisms contributing to resistance to carbapenems in B. fragilis strains.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Meropenem is a carbapenem antibiotic and commonly used with other antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections. It is primarily eliminated renally by glomerular filtration and renal tubular secretion. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the roles of renal uptake and efflux transporters in the excretion of meropenem and potential drug interactions mediated by renal drug transporters. METHOD Uptake and inhibition studies were conducted in human embryonic kidney 293 cells stably transfected with organic anion transporter (OAT) 1, OAT3, multidrug and toxin extrusion protein (MATE) 1 and MATE2K, as well as membrane vesicles containing breast cancer resistance-related protein (BCRP), multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1) and multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2). Probenecid and piperacillin were used to assess potential drug interactions with meropenem in rats. RESULTS We observed that meropenem was a low-affinity substrate of OAT1/3 and had a weak inhibitory effect on OAT1/3 and MATE2K. BCRP, MDR1, MRP2, MATE1 and MATE2K could not mediate renal excretion of meropenem. Moreover, meropenem was not an inhibitor of BCRP, MDR1, MRP2 or MATE1. Among five tested antibiotics, moderate inhibition on OAT3-mediated meropenem uptake was observed for linezolid (IC50 value was 69.2 μM), weak inhibition was observed for piperacillin, benzylpenicillin and tazobactam (IC50 values were 282.2, 308.0 and 668.1 μM, respectively), and no inhibition was observed for sulbactam. Although piperacillin had a relatively high drug-drug interaction index (ratio of maximal unbound plasma concentration to IC50 was 1.42) in vitro, it had no meaningful impact on the pharmacokinetics of meropenem in rats. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that clinically significant interactions between meropenem and these five antibiotics are low.

Alfei S, Schito AM. β-Lactam Antibiotics and β-Lactamase Enzymes Inhibitors, Part 2: Our Limited Resources. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 15:ph15040476.

Abstract
β-lactam antibiotics (BLAs) are crucial molecules among antibacterial drugs, but the increasing emergence of resistance to them, developed by bacteria producing β-lactamase enzymes (BLEs), is becoming one of the major warnings to the global public health. Since only a small number of novel antibiotics are in development, a current clinical approach to limit this phenomenon consists of administering proper combinations of β-lactam antibiotics (BLAs) and β-lactamase inhibitors (BLEsIs). Unfortunately, while few clinically approved BLEsIs are capable of inhibiting most class-A and -C serine β-lactamases (SBLEs) and some carbapenemases of class D, they are unable to inhibit most part of the carbapenem hydrolyzing enzymes of class D and the worrying metallo-β-lactamases (MBLEs) of class B. Particularly, MBLEs are a set of enzymes that catalyzes the hydrolysis of a broad range of BLAs by a zinc-mediated mechanism, and currently no clinically available molecule capable of inhibiting MBLEs exists. Additionally, new types of alarming “superbugs”, were found to produce the New Delhi metallo-β-lactamases (NDMs) encoded by increasing variants of a plasmid-mediated gene capable of rapidly spreading among bacteria of the same species and even among different species. Particularly, NDM-1 possesses a flexible hydrolysis mechanism that inactivates all BLAs, except for aztreonam. The present review provides first an overview of existing BLAs and the most clinically relevant BLEs detected so far. Then, the BLEsIs and their most common associations with BLAs already clinically applied and those still in development are reviewed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics of benapenem in subjects with mild to moderate renal impairment to provide a reference for benapenem dosing regimens in this patient population. METHODS Eighteen subjects were enrolled in this study. Each subject received a single dose of benapenem intravenously (1.0 g in 100 ml of 0.9% saline) followed by blood and urine collection to measure the concentrations of benapenem and its major metabolite. PK analysis was performed to evaluate the effect of varying degrees of renal impairment on the PK characteristics of benapenem. The safety of benapenem was also evaluated. RESULTS In subjects with normal renal function, mild renal impairment, and moderate renal impairment, the maximum plasma benapenem concentrations were 163 ± 6.58 mg/L, 138 ± 17.4 mg/L, and 134 ± 0.11 mg/L, respectively (15.3% and 17.8% lower in subjects with mild and moderate renal impairment, respectively, than in subjects with normal renal function). The areas under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC0-inf) were 1153.67 ± 143.2 mg·h/L, 1129.17 ± 241.41 mg·h/L, and 1316.46 ± 229.83 mg·h/L, respectively (P > 0.05); the cumulative urinary excretion rates at 72 h after dosing were 52.61 ± 8.58%, 39.42 ± 8.35%, and 29.84 ± 9.15%, respectively; and the metabolic ratio (AUC0-inf_KBP-3331/AUC0-inf_benapenem) were 3.96 ± 0.35%, 5.56 ± 0.82%, and 8.24 ± 0.85%, respectively. No drug-related adverse events (AEs), serious AEs, or AEs leading to withdrawal occurred in this study. CONCLUSION No adjustment to benapenem dosing is needed in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment.

Acinetobacter baumannii Isolates from COVID-19 Patients in a Hospital Intensive Care Unit: Molecular Typing and Risk Factors. Microorganisms 2022; 10:microorganisms10040722.

Abstract
Infections caused by Acinetobacter baumannii represent a major concern for intensive care unit (ICU) patients. However, the epidemiology of these infections among COVID-19 patients has not been fully explored. The aims of this study were (i) to characterize the clonal spread of A. baumannii among COVID-19 patients admitted to the ICU of the Umberto I hospital of Rome during the first year of the pandemic and (ii) to identify risk factors for its acquisition. Isolates were analysed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, and a multivariable regression model was constructed. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Overall, 193 patients were included, and 102 strains were analysed. All isolates had highly antibiotic-resistant profiles and derived from two genotypes. The cumulative incidence of A. baumannii acquisition (colonization or infection) was 36.8%. Patients with A. baumannii had higher mortality and length of stay. Multivariable analysis showed that previous carbapenem use was the only risk factor associated with A. baumannii acquisition (aOR: 4.15, 95% CI: 1.78–9.64). We documented substantial A. baumannii infections and colonization and high levels of clonal transmission. Given the limited treatment options, effective prevention and containment strategies to limit the spread of A. baumannii should be implemented.

Abstract
Klebsiella pneumoniae invasion syndrome (KPIS) is a critical multi-site infection that is usually caused by highly virulent Klebsiella pneumonia. It is relatively common in Asian patients with diabetes and leads to sepsis, which has a high mortality rate. We report the case of a man in his early 40s who presented to the hospital with blurred vision in his left eye of 7 days’ duration and fever of 1 day’s duration. After a complete examination, he was diagnosed with KPIS on the basis of his liver abscessation, lung abscessation, endophthalmitis of the left eye and brain abscessation. After needle puncture and drainage of the left eye and liver abscess and anti-bacterial treatment with meropenem, the patient recovered well. When KPIS is suspected, attention should be paid to the sites of infection and the selection of the most appropriate antibiotics, but the most important aim should be to drain the lesions in a timely manner to improve the patient’s prognosis.

Recommendations to Synthetize Old and New β-Lactamases Inhibitors: A Review to Encourage Further Production. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 15:ph15030384.

Abstract
The increasing emergence of bacteria producing β-lactamases enzymes (BLEs), able to inactivate the available β-lactam antibiotics (BLAs), causing the hydrolytic opening of their β-lactam ring, is one of the global major warnings. According to Ambler classification, BLEs are grouped in serine-BLEs (SBLEs) of class A, C, and D, and metal-BLEs (MBLEs) of class B. A current strategy to restore no longer functioning BLAs consists of associating them to β-lactamase enzymes inhibitors (BLEsIs), which, interacting with BLEs, prevent them hydrolyzing to the associated antibiotic. Worryingly, the inhibitors that are clinically approved are very few and inhibit only most of class A and C SBLEs, leaving several class D and all MBLEs of class B untouched. Numerous non-clinically approved new molecules are in development, which have shown broad and ultra-broad spectrum of action, some of them also being active on the New Delhi metal-β-lactamase-1 (NDM-1), which can hydrolyze all available BLAs except for aztreonam. To not duplicate the existing review concerning this topic, we have herein examined BLEsIs by a chemistry approach. To this end, we have reviewed both the long-established synthesis adopted to prepare the old BLEsIs, those proposed to achieve the BLEsIs that are newly approved, and those recently reported to prepare the most relevant molecules yet in development, which have shown high potency, providing for each synthesis the related reaction scheme.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacterium which is capable of developing a high level of antibiotic resistance. It has been placed on the WHO's critical priority pathogen list and it is commonly found in ventilator-associated pneumonia infections, blood stream infections and other largely hospital-acquired illnesses. These infections are difficult to effectively treat due to their increasing antibiotic resistance and as such patients are often treated with antibiotic combination regimens. METHODS We conducted a systematic search with screening criteria using the Ovid search engine and the Embase, Ovid Medline, and APA PsycInfo databases. RESULTS It was found that in many cases the combination therapies were able to match or outperform the monotherapies and none performed noticeably worse than the monotherapies. However, the clinical studies were mostly small, only a few were prospective randomized clinical trials and statistical significance was lacking. CONCLUSIONS It was concluded that combination therapies have a place in the treatment of these highly resistant bacteria and, in some cases, there is some evidence to suggest that they provide a more effective treatment than monotherapies.

High-Risk Clone of Klebsiella pneumoniae Co-Harbouring Class A and D Carbapenemases in Italy. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19052623.

Abstract
Background: Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-Kp) is endemic globally, causing severe infections in hospitalized patients. Surveillance programs help monitor and promptly identify the emergence of new clones. We reported the rapid spread of a novel clone of K. pneumoniae co-harbouring class A and D carbapenemases in colonized patients, and the potential risk factors involved in the development of infections. Methods: Rectal swabs were used for microbiological analyses and detection of the most common carbapenemase encoding genes by real-time PCR (i.e., blaKPC, blaOXA-48, blaNDM, blaVIM, and blaIMP). All strains co-harbouring KPC and OXA-48 genes were evaluated. For each patient, the following variables were collected: age, sex, length and ward of stay, device use, and outcome. Clonality of CR-Kp was assessed by preliminary pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), followed by multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) analyses. Results: A total of 127 isolates of K. pneumoniae co-harbouring KPC and OXA-48 were collected between September 2019 and December 2020. The median age (IQR) of patients was 70 (61–77). More than 40% of patients were admitted to intensive care unit (ICU). Around 25% of patients developed an invasive infection, the majority of which were respiratory tract infections (17/31; 54.8%). ICU stay and invasive infection increased the risk of mortality (OR: 5.39, 95% CI: 2.42–12.00; OR 6.12, 95% CI: 2.55–14.69, respectively; p-value ≤ 0.001). The antibiotic susceptibility test showed a resistance profile for almost all antibiotics considered. Monoclonal origin was confirmed by PFGE and MLST showing a similar restriction pattern and belonging to ST-512. Conclusions: We report the spread and the marked antibiotic resistance profiles of K. pneumoniae strains co-producing KPC and OXA-48. Further study could clarify the roles of clinical and microbiological variables in the development of invasive infection and increasing risk of mortality, in colonized patients.

Abstract
Bacteria employ numerous resistance mechanisms against structurally distinct drugs by the process of multidrug resistance. A study was planned to discover the antibacterial potential of a graphene oxide nanosheet (GO), a graphene oxide-zinc oxide nanocomposite (GO/ZnO), a graphene oxide-chitosan nanocomposite (GO-CS), a zinc oxide decorated graphene oxide-chitosan nanocomposite (GO-CS/ZnO), and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO) alone and in a blend with antibiotics against a PS-2 isolate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These nanocomposites reduced the MIC of tetracycline (TET) from 16 folds to 64 folds against a multidrug-resistant clinical isolate. Efflux pumps were interfered, as evident by an ethidium bromide synergy study with nanocomposites, as well as inhibiting biofilm synthesis. These nanoparticles/nanocomposites also decreased the mutant prevention concentration (MPC) of TET. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on nanomaterials as a synergistic agent via inhibition of efflux and biofilm synthesis.
