Abstract
Background Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most significant challenges to global public health and the risk factors in severe pneumonia are constantly growing. Therefore, this study aimed to identify factors associated with antimicrobial resistance and conduct survival analysis of severe pneumonia patients with single and multiple pathogens in the National Referral Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia. Methods A retrospective method was used, and secondary data were collected from severe pneumonia patients admitted to the intensive care unit at Cipto Mangunkusumo National Referral Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia, from January 2016 to December 2022. Respiratory specimens were collected through bronchial washing. Furthermore, univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to analyze factors associated with antimicrobial resistance. Kaplan‒Meier survival curves were generated with the log-rank test to compare 30-day mortality between patients infected with single, dual, and multiple pathogens. Results The results showed that a total of 333 patients from 415 enrolled were analyzed. Klebsiella pneumoniae (35.4%), Acinetobacter baumannii (29.3%), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (15.4%) were the most frequently isolated Gram-negative pathogens. Factors associated with resistance to aminoglycoside, carbapenem, and quinolone were sepsis, cerebrovascular disease, and ventilator-associated pneumonia, as indicated by p < 0.05. In addition, the Kaplan-Meier curves showed that multiple pathogens influenced the survival rate of severe pneumonia patients (p < 0.05). Conclusions Sepsis, cerebrovascular disease, and ventilator-associated pneumonia were associated with antimicrobial resistance in severe pneumonia patients. The survival rate of patients infected with multiple pathogens was low. This suggests the importance of further awareness regarding empirical antibiotic stewardship and mortality assessment in severe pneumonia patients.

Abstract
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a common healthcare-associated disease in intensive care units, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. This systematic review aims to investigate the prevalence, risk factors, and prevention strategies for VAP in the Middle East. PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, Science Direct, and Google Scholar were systematically searched to include the relevant literature. Rayyan QCRI was used throughout this systematic approach. Ten studies, involving a total of 6295 patients diagnosed with VAP, were included in this review. Among these patients, 336 (5.3%) developed VAP. The prevalence of VAP in children and neonates in the Middle East was relatively low. Risk factors associated with VAP development included prematurity, low birth weight, prolonged mechanical ventilation, enteral feeding, intrusive devices such as umbilical catheters, and cardiac operations. All reviewed studies emphasized the importance of infection control measures in reducing the risk of VAP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to summarise the prevalence of atypical pathogens in patients with severe pneumonia to understand the prevalence of severe pneumonia caused by atypical pathogens, improve clinical decision-making and guide antibiotic use. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. DATA SOURCES PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Library were searched through November 2022. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA English language studies enrolled consecutive cases of patients diagnosed with severe pneumonia, with complete aetiological analysis. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS We conducted literature retrieval on PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and The Cochrane Library to estimate the prevalence of Chlamydia, Mycoplasma and Legionella in patients with severe pneumonia. After double arcsine transformation of the data, a random-effects model was used for meta-analyses to calculate the pooled prevalence of each pathogen. Meta-regression analysis was also used to explore whether the region, different diagnostic method, study population, pneumonia categories or sample size were potential sources of heterogeneity. RESULTS We included 75 eligible studies with 18 379 cases of severe pneumonia. The overall prevalence of atypical pneumonia is 8.1% (95% CI 6.3% to 10.1%) In patients with severe pneumonia, the pooled estimated prevalence of Chlamydia, Mycoplasma and Legionella was 1.8% (95% CI 1.0% to 2.9%), 2.8% (95% CI 1.7% to 4.3%) and 4.0% (95% CI 2.8% to 5.3%), respectively. We noted significant heterogeneity in all pooled assessments. Meta-regression showed that the pneumonia category potentially influenced the prevalence rate of Chlamydia. The mean age and the diagnostic method of pathogens were likely moderators for the prevalence of Mycoplasma and Legionella, and contribute to the heterogeneity of their prevalence. CONCLUSIONS In severe pneumonia, atypical pathogens are notable causes, especially Legionella. The diagnostic method, regional difference, sample size and other factors contribute to the heterogeneity of prevalence. The estimated prevalence and relative heterogeneity factors can help with microbiological screening, clinical treatment and future research planning. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42022373950.

Ventilator-associated pneumonia is linked to a worse prognosis than community-acquired pneumonia in children. PLoS One 2022; 17:e0271450. [PMID: 35834521 PMCID: PMC9282450 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0271450] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2021] [Accepted: 06/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Around 12-20% of patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) require critical care. Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the second cause of nosocomial infection in Paediatric Intensive Care Units (PICU). As far as we know, there are no studies comparing both types of pneumonia in children, thus it remains unclear if there are differences between them in terms of severity and outcomes. OBJECTIVE The aim was to compare clinical and microbiological characteristics and outcomes of patients with severe CAP and VAP. METHODS A retrospective descriptive study, including patients diagnosed of VAP and CAP, with a positive respiratory culture and under mechanical ventilation, admitted to the PICU from 2015 to 2019. RESULTS 238 patients were included; 163 (68.4%) with CAP, and 75 (31.5%) with VAP. Patients with VAP needed longer mechanical ventilation (14 vs. 7 days, p<0.001) and more inotropic support (49.3 vs. 30.7%, p = 0.006). Patients with VAP had higher mortality (12 vs. 2.5%, p = 0.005). Enterobacterales were more involved with VAP than with CAP (48 vs. 9%, p<0.001). Taking into account only the non-drug sensitive microorganisms, patients with VAP tended to have more multidrug-resistant bacteria (30 vs. 10.8%, p = 0.141) than patients with CAP. CONCLUSION Patients with VAP had worse prognosis than patients with CAP, needing longer mechanical ventilation, more inotropic support and had higher mortality. Patients with VAP were mainly infected by Enterobacterales and had more multidrug resistant microorganisms than patients with CAP.

Abstract
Bacterial pneumonia is one of the most serious public health issues owing to its medical and economic costs, which result in increased morbidity and mortality in people of all ages around the world. Furthermore, antimicrobial resistance has risen over time, and the advent of multi-drug resistance in GNB complicates therapy and has a detrimental impact on patient outcomes. The current review aimed to summarize bacterial pneumonia with an emphasis on gram-negative etiology, pathogenesis, risk factors, resistance mechanisms, treatment updates, and vaccine concerns to tackle the problem before it causes a serious consequence. In conclusion, the global prevalence of GNB in CAP was reported 49.7% to 83.1%, whereas in VAP patients ranged between 76.13% to 95.3%. The most commonly reported MDR-GNB causes of pneumonia were A. baumannii, K. pneumoniae, and P. aeruginosa, with A. baumannii isolated particularly in VAP patients and the elderly. In most studies, ampicillin, tetracyclines, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, cephalosporins, and carbapenems were shown to be highly resistant. Prior MDR-GNB infection, older age, previous use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, high frequency of local antibiotic resistance, prolonged hospital stays, ICU admission, mechanical ventilation, and immunosuppression are associated with the MDR-GNB colonization. S. maltophilia was reported as a severe cause of HAP/VAP in patients with mechanically ventilated and having hematologic malignancy due to its ability of biofilm formation, site adhesion in respiratory devices, and its intrinsic and acquired drug resistance mechanisms. Effective combination therapies targeting PDR strains and drug-resistant genes, antibiofilm agents, gene-based vaccinations, and pathogen-specific lymphocytes should be developed in the future.

Abstract
Streptococcus pneumoniae remains an important bacterial pathogen, particularly for young children in low- and middle-income countries. A systematic review was conducted of peer-reviewed literature from PubMed published as of May 13, 2020, to identify articles relevant to invasive pneumococcal disease, pneumonia, otitis media (OM), nasopharyngeal carriage (NPC), antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and vaccination coverage in Egypt, with particular focus on children ≤ 18 years of age. A total of 16 relevant articles spanning three decades were included in this review. Among studies reviewed, S. pneumoniae was the causative agent of meningitis in 21–30% of cases among hospitalized children between 1983 and 2003. One study showed that serotypes 6A and 6B predominated among meningitis cases of pediatric patients aged < 5 years. This review also revealed that S. pneumoniae was the most commonly identified bacterial pathogen of acute mastoiditis, a severe complication of acute OM, among children aged 9 months to 11 years. NPC studies showed that approximately 30% of Egyptian children were carriers of S. pneumoniae. AMR, especially to penicillin, continues to be a growing concern in low- and middle-income countries, including among Egyptian children. Several predominant serotypes were identified to be associated with penicillin resistance, such as 6B, 1, 19A, 23F, and 6A. Currently available pneumococcal vaccines (PCVs) such as PCV10 and PCV13 may provide coverage against the most prevalent circulating serotypes among Egyptian children. Comprehensive disease surveillance and immunization programs are needed to ensure that this vulnerable population is sufficiently protected against pneumococcal disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The advanced-generation, broad-spectrum, intravenous (IV) cephalosporin, ceftobiprole, is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for adults with hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) or community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), but its effects in pediatric patients have not been established. METHODS In this multicenter, investigator-blinded, active-controlled, phase 3 study, patients 3 months to <18 years old with HAP or CAP requiring hospitalization were randomized (2:1) to ceftobiprole versus standard-of-care (SoC) IV cephalosporin treatments (ceftazidime or ceftriaxone), with or without vancomycin. After at least 3 days' IV treatment, patients demonstrating clinical improvement could be switched to an oral antibiotic, to complete a minimum of 7 days' treatment. RESULTS Overall, 138 patients were randomized to ceftobiprole (n = 94) or a SoC cephalosporin (n = 44). Median time to oral switch was 6.0 days in the ceftobiprole group and 8.0 days in the SoC cephalosporin group. While on IV therapy, adverse events and treatment-related adverse events were reported by 20.2% and 8.5% of ceftobiprole-treated patients and 18.2% and 0% of SoC cephalosporin-treated patients. Early clinical response rates at day 4 in the intention-to-treat population were 95.7% and 93.2% (between-group difference, 2.6%; 95% confidence interval, -5.5% to 14.7%) in the ceftobiprole and comparator groups, and clinical cure rates at the test-of-cure visit were 90.4% and 97.7% (between-group difference, -7.3%; 95% confidence interval, -15.7% to 3.6%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Ceftobiprole was well tolerated and, in this small phase 3 study, demonstrated similar efficacy to SoC cephalosporins in pediatric patients with HAP or CAP requiring hospitalization.

Abstract
Over the last decades, there has been a dramatic global increase in multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens particularly among Gram-negative bacteria (GNB). Pseudomonas aeruginosa is responsible for various health care-associated infections, while MDR P. aeruginosa causes significant morbidity and mortality. Middle East and North Africa (MENA) represent an unexplored geographical region for the study of drug resistance since many of these countries are at crossroads of high volume of travel, diverse expatriate populations, as well as high antibiotic consumption despite attempts to implement antimicrobial stewardship programs. This minireview analyzes epidemiology, microbiological, and genomic characteristics of MDR P. aeruginosa in the MENA region. Published data on MDR P. aeruginosa prevalence, antimicrobial resistance patterns, and genetic profiles from studies published during the past 10 years from 19 MENA countries have been included in this minireview. There is wide variation in the epidemiology of MDR P. aeruginosa in the MENA region in terms of prevalence, antimicrobial characteristics, as well as genetic profiles. Overall, there is high prevalence of MDR P. aeruginosa seen in the majority of the countries in the MENA region with similarities between neighboring countries, which might reflect comparable population and antibiotic-prescribing cultures. Isolates from critical care units are significantly resistant particularly from certain countries such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Libya, Syria, and Lebanon with high-level resistance to cephalosporins, carbapenems, and aminoglycosides. Colistin susceptibility patterns remains high apart from countries with high-level antibiotic resistance such as Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Egypt.

Abstract
Background The risk factors for multi-drug resistant infection (MDRI) in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) remain unclear. It’s necessary to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics and risk factors for MDRI in PICU, to provide insights into the prophylaxis of MDRI clinically. Methods Clinical data of 79 PICU children with MDRI were identified, and 80 children in PICU without MDRI in the same period were selected as control group. The related children’s characteristics, clinical care, microbiologic data, treatments provided, and outcomes of the patients with were reviewed and collected. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the potential risks of MDRI in PICU. Results Of the diagnosed 79 cases of MDRI, there were28 cases of CR-AB, 24 cases of MRSA, 22 cases of PDR-PA,3 cases of VRE and 2 cases of CRE respectively. Univariate analyses indicated that the length of PICU stay, the duration of mechanical ventilation > 5 days, parenteral nutrition, coma, urinary catheter indwelling, invasive operation, 2 or more antibiotics use were associated with MDRIs (all p < 0.05); The logistic multiple regression analyses indicated that coma, parenteral nutrition, 2 or more antibiotics use and the duration of mechanical ventilation > 5 days were independent risk factors associated with MDRI (all p < 0.05). Conclusions This present study has identified several potentially modifiable risk factors for MDRI in PICU, it’s conducive to take appropriate measures targeting risk factors of MDRI for health care providers to reduce MDRI.
