Abstract
BACKGROUND The epidemiological features of the Klebsiella pneumoniae causing bloodstream infections in Hong Kong and their potential threats to human health remained unknown. METHODS K. pneumoniae strains collected from four hospitals in Hong Kong during the period of 2009-2018 were subjected to molecular typing, string test, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, whole genome sequencing and analysis. Clinical data of patients from whom these strains were isolated were analyzed retrospectively using univariate and multivariate logistic regression approaches. FINDINGS The 240 Klebsiella spp. strains belonged to 123 different STs and 63 different capsule loci (KLs), with KL1 and KL2 being the major type. 86 out of 212 BSI-KP (40.6%) carried at least one of the virulence genes iuc, iro, rmpA or rmpA2. Virulence plasmid correlated well with the string test positive result, yet 8 strains without rmp genes were also hypermucoviscous, which was due to wzc mutation. The mortality rate of bloodstream infection patients was 43.0%. Univariant analysis showed that factors including renal replacement therapy (FDR adjusted p = 0.0007), mechanical ventilation (FDR adjusted p < 0.0001) and respiratory sepsis (FDR adjusted p < 0.0001) were found to pose the highest risk of death upon infection by Klebsiella spp. INTERPRETATION This study revealed the high mortality rate and risk factors associated with bloodstream infections caused by K. pneumoniae in Hong Kong, which warrants immediate action to develop effective solution to tackle this problem.

Longitudinal monitoring reveals the emergence and spread of bla GES-5-harboring carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella quasipneumoniae in a Hong Kong hospital wastewater discharge line. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 903:166255. [PMID: 37574056 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.166255] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2023] [Revised: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/10/2023] [Indexed: 08/15/2023]
Abstract
Testing hospital wastewater (HWW) is potentially an effective, long-term approach for monitoring trends in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns in health care institutions. Over a year, we collected wastewater samples from the clinical and non-clinical sites of a tertiary hospital and from a downstream wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). We focused on the extent of carbapenem resistance among Enterobacteriaceae isolates given their clinical importance. Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. were the most frequently isolated Enterobacteriaceae species at all sampling sites. Additionally, a small number of isolates belonging to ESKAPE pathogens (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species), except K. pneumoniae, were detected. Of the 232 Klebsiella spp. isolates, 100 (43.1 %) were multi-drug resistant (MDR), with 46 being carbapenem-resistant. Most of these carbapenem-resistant isolates were K. quasipneumoniae (CRKQ) (n = 44). All CRKQ isolates were isolated from the wastewater of a clinical site that includes intensive care units, which also yielded significantly more multi-drug resistant isolates compared to all other sampling sites. Among the CRKQ isolates, blaGES-5 genes (n = 42) were the primary genetic determinant of carbapenem resistance. Notably, three different CRKQ isolates, collected within the same month in HWW and the influent and effluent flow of the WWTP, shared >99 % sequence similarity between their blaGES-5 genes and between their flanking regions and upstream integron-integrase region. The influent isolate was phylogenetically close to K. quasipnuemoniae isolates from wastewater collected in Japan. Its blaGES-5 gene and surrounding sequences were > 99 % identical to blaGES-24 genes found in the Japanese isolates. Our results suggest that testing samples from sites located closer to hospitals could support antibiotic stewardship programs compared to samples collected further downstream. Moreover, testing samples collected regularly from WWTPs may reflect the local and global spread of pathogens and their resistances.

Abstract
Infections due to Klebsiella pneumoniae have been increasing in intensive care units (ICUs) in the last decade. Such infections pose a serious problem, especially when antimicrobial resistance is present. We created a task force of experts, including specialists in intensive care medicine, anaesthesia, microbiology and infectious diseases, selected on the basis of their varied experience in the field of nosocomial infections, who conducted a comprehensive review of the recently published literature on the management of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) infections in the intensive care setting from 2012 to 2022 to summarize the best available treatment. The group established priorities regarding management, based on both the risk of developing infections caused by K. pneumoniae and the risk of poor outcome. Moreover, we reviewed and updated the most important clinical entities and the new antibiotic treatments recently developed. After analysis of the priorities outlined, this group of experts established a series of recommendations and designed a management algorithm.

Abstract
Introduction Bloodstream infections are associated with high mortality rates and contribute substantially to healthcare costs, but a consensus on the prognostic benefits of appropriate empirical antimicrobial therapy (EAT) for bacteraemia is lacking. Methods We performed a systematic search of the PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases through July 2021. Studies comparing the mortality rates of patients receiving appropriate and inappropriate EAT were considered eligible. The quality of the included studies was assessed using Joanna Briggs Institute checklists. Results We ultimately assessed 198 studies of 89,962 total patients. The pooled odds ratio (OR) for the prognostic impacts of inappropriate EAT was 2.06 (P < 0.001), and the funnel plot was symmetrically distributed. Among subgroups without between-study heterogeneity (I2 = 0%), those of patients with severe sepsis and septic shock (OR, 2.14), Pitt bacteraemia scores of ≥4 (OR, 1.88), cirrhosis (OR, 2.56), older age (OR, 1.78), and community-onset/acquired Enterobacteriaceae bacteraemia infection (OR, 2.53) indicated a significant effect of inappropriate EAT on mortality. The pooled adjusted OR of 125 studies using multivariable analyses for the effects of inappropriate EAT on mortality was 2.02 (P < 0.001), and the subgroups with low heterogeneity (I2 < 25%) exhibiting significant effects of inappropriate EAT were those of patients with vascular catheter infections (adjusted OR, 2.40), pneumonia (adjusted OR, 2.72), or Enterobacteriaceae bacteraemia (adjusted OR, 4.35). Notably, the pooled univariable and multivariable analyses were consistent in revealing the negligible impacts of inappropriate EAT on the subgroups of patients with urinary tract infections and Enterobacter bacteraemia. Conclusion Although the current evidence is insufficient to demonstrate the benefits of prompt EAT in specific bacteraemic populations, we indicated that inappropriate EAT is associated with unfavorable mortality outcomes overall and in numerous subgroups. Prospective studies designed to test these specific populations are needed to ensure reliable conclusions.

Abstract
Background: Bloodstream infections (BSIs) are recognized as important nosocomial infections. Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the major causes of bacteremia. This retrospective study focused on drug susceptibility and molecular epidemiology of K. pneumoniae isolated from intensive care unit (ICU) patients with BSI in Shanghai, China. Methods: Consecutive K. pneumoniae isolates were collected from ICU patients. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was conducted by the broth microdilution method. PCR was performed to detect antimicrobial resistance genes. We also completed multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and GoeBURST was used to analyze the result of MLST. Results: A total of 78 K. pneumoniae isolates were enrolled. K. pneumoniae from ICU-BSIs were highly resistant to almost all common antibiotics. The most frequent resistance determinants responsible for extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producers were blaCTX−M−14, blaCTX−M−15, and blaCTX−M−55. KPC was the only enzyme, which was detected by the carbapenemase producers. The most principal sequence types (STs) were ST11, ST15, and ST23. Conclusion: This study presents for the first time the antibiotic resistance phenotype and molecular epidemiology of K. pneumoniae isolated from ICU patients with BSIs in Shanghai. ICU-BSI K. pneumoniae is characteristic of a high resistance rate. The occurrence of the KPC-2 enzyme may result from nosocomial clonal dissemination of ST11 K. pneumoniae.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although several models to predict intensive care unit (ICU) mortality are available, their performance decreases in certain subpopulations because specific factors are not included. Moreover, these models often involve complex techniques and are not applicable in low-resource settings. We developed a prediction model and simplified risk score to predict 14-day mortality in ICU patients infected with Klebsiella pneumoniae. METHODOLOGY A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data of ICU patients infected with Klebsiella pneumoniae at the largest tertiary hospital in Northern Vietnam during 2016-2018. Logistic regression was used to develop our prediction model. Model performance was assessed by calibration (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve-AUC) and discrimination (Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test). A simplified risk score was also constructed. RESULTS Two hundred forty-nine patients were included, with an overall 14-day mortality of 28.9%. The final prediction model comprised six predictors: age, referral route, SOFA score, central venous catheter, intracerebral haemorrhage surgery and absence of adjunctive therapy. The model showed high predictive accuracy (AUC = 0.83; p-value Hosmer-Lemeshow test = 0.92). The risk score has a range of 0-12 corresponding to mortality risk 0-100%, which produced similar predictive performance as the original model. CONCLUSIONS The developed prediction model and risk score provide an objective quantitative estimation of individual 14-day mortality in ICU patients infected with Klebsiella pneumoniae. The tool is highly applicable in practice to help facilitate patient stratification and management, evaluation of further interventions and allocation of resources and care, especially in low-resource settings where electronic systems to support complex models are missing.

Abstract
Background Studies have demonstrated that higher rates of antibiotic resistance are found in countries with higher antibiotic consumption. The global increase in antibiotic consumption is a major public health concern. Objectives The objective of this study was to describe the antibiotic dispensing patterns in public hospitals in Hong Kong from 2000 to 2015. Methods We acquired data on all hospital admissions with any antibiotics dispensed from 2000 to 2015 from the Hong Kong public hospitals. The annual proportion of hospital admissions with antibiotics dispensed was estimated and stratified by age group. An interrupted time series analysis was conducted to examine any potential change in tetracycline dispensing after the release of the new clinical practice guideline. Results A total of 35,535,506 antibiotic prescriptions were dispensed among 2,161,360 unique hospitalized patients from 2000 to 2015. Antibiotics were dispensed in 29.2% of all hospital admissions in the public hospitals, the annual proportions of hospital admissions with antibiotics dispensed increased over the study period from 27.87% in 2000 to 31.39% in 2015, ranging from 27.17 to 31.39%. However, a significant increase was only observed in age groups of 5–19, 20–44, and 85 years or above when stratifying by age. In the interrupted time series analysis, a change in trend was detected for tetracycline dispensing that coincided with the time of publication of the new clinical practice guideline. Conclusions We found that the overall volume of antibiotic use increased between 2000 and 2015. The rise in the dispensing of carbapenems in our study is concerning. The significant change in tetracycline use after being recommended as one of the preferred regimens demonstrated that the change in the clinical practice guideline had an immediate effect on the antibiotic prescribing practice in Hong Kong public hospitals.

Abstract
Background Polymicrobial Klebsiella pneumoniae bloodstream infection (KP-BSI) has been reported to account for more than 10% of all KP-BSI, but few studies have characterized polymicrobial KP-BSI. Our study investigated the clinical characteristics, risk factors, and outcomes of polymicrobial KP-BSI by comparing with monomicrobial KP-BSI. Methods We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study of patients with KP-BSI from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2018 and collected the clinical data by reviewing electronic medical records. Results Of the 818 patients with KP-BSI recruited, 13.9% (114/818) were polymicrobial KP-BSI. The severity of illness in polymicrobial and monomicrobial KP-BSI was similar, while the rate of resistance to carbapenems was obviously higher in polymicrobial KP-BSI (78.1% vs. 65.6%, p = 0.009). On multivariate analysis, hospitalization in burn ward (odds ratio (OR) 6.13, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.00-18.76, p = 0.001) and intensive care unit (OR 2.39, 95% CI 1.05-5.43, p = 0.038) was independently associated with polymicrobial KP-BSI. Gram-negative bacteria accounted for the highest proportion (68.9%) among copathogens of polymicrobial KP-BSI, whereas gram-positive bacteria (22.9%) and Candida (8.2%) ranked the second and the third, respectively, with Acinetobacter baumannii being the most common (23.0%). Patients with polymicrobial KP-BSI had longer hospital days after BSI onset and total hospital days than patients with monomicrobial KP-BSI (median (interquartile range (IQR)), 19 (5, 39) vs. 12 (6, 25), 37 (21, 67) vs. 29 (16, 53), respectively, p < 0.05). The mortality did not differ between polymicrobial KP-BSI and monomicrobial KP-BSI (all p > 0.05). Conclusions It was observed that polymicrobial KP-BSI accounted for a significant proportion among all KP-BSI in the current study. Hospitalization in burn ward and intensive care unit was an independent risk factor for the development of polymicrobial KP-BSI. The patients with polymicrobial KP-BSI had a higher rate of carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae and might have poor outcomes compared to monomicrobial KP-BSI.

Variation of effect estimates in the analysis of mortality and length of hospital stay in patients with infections caused by bacteria-producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases: a systematic review and meta-analysis. BMJ Open 2020; 10:e030266.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the variation of effect estimates in the analysis of mortality and length of stay (LOS) in patients with infections caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis METHODS: Literature search for clinical studies from 1 January 1960 to 1 October 2018 was conducted in PubMed. Primary outcomes were risk ratios (RRs) of all-cause and attributable mortality and weighted mean differences (WMDs) in LOS in patients with bloodstream infections (BSIs) and non-invasive infections. Any change in the effect estimates was assessed by grouping studies according to design, setting, economy-based country classification, reporting period, microbiological aetiology, infection type and adjustment for appropriateness of empirical treatment. The impact of ESBL production was calculated using random-effect meta-analysis and heterogeneity was evaluated by I2 statistics and metaregression. RESULTS Eighty-four studies including 22 030 patients and 149 outcome measures were included in the meta-analysis. Most studies were retrospective cohorts from high-income countries, providing unadjusted estimates. ESBL production in patients with BSIs (56 studies) increased the RR for all-cause mortality by a factor of 1.70 (95% CI 1.52 to 1.90; p<0.001), attributable mortality (16 studies) by 1.75 (95% CI 1.448 to 2.108; p<0.001) and WMD in the intensive care unit by 3.07 days (95% CI 1.61 to 4.54; p<0.001). WMD in hospital LOS was significantly higher in BSIs (4.41 days; 95% CI 3.37 to 5.46; p<0.001) and non-invasive (2.19 days; 95% CI 1.56 to 2.81; p<0.001). Subgroup analyses showed variation of estimates by study design, population, strain and assessment of appropriateness of empiric treatment. High heterogeneity was observed in all analyses. CONCLUSIONS Current evidence of the clinical burden of infections caused by ESBL-producing bacteria is highly heterogeneous and based mainly on unadjusted estimates derived from retrospective studies. Despite these limitations, ESBL production in strains causing BSIs seems associated with higher all-cause and attributable mortality and longer hospitalisation.

Antimicrobial resistance and virulence factors of Klebsiella pneumoniae affecting 30 day mortality in patients with bloodstream infection. J Antimicrob Chemother 2020; 74:190-199.

Abstract
Objectives To investigate the risk factors of patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) bloodstream infection (BSI) with a focus on antimicrobial resistance and virulence factors. Methods All KP BSI patients (n = 579) from six general hospitals during a 1 year period were included in this study. The risk factors of hosts and causative KP isolates were assessed to determine associations with the 30 day mortality of KP BSI patients by multivariate Cox hazards modelling. Results The 30 day mortality rate of KP BSI patients was 16.9% (98/579). Among the host-associated factors, increased SOFA score and leucopenia status exhibited strong associations with increased 30 day mortality. Among the pathogenic factors, carriage of the pks gene cluster (adjusted HR 1.80; 95% CI 1.16-2.79) was a risk factor, especially when accompanied by MDR. In this regard, KP isolates of the wzi50 capsular type (n = 22) frequently harboured pks (63.6%, 14/22) and ybtA (68.2%, n = 15) and mostly exhibited MDR (63.6%, n = 14), resulting in increased 30 day mortality. In contrast, hypermucoviscous KP isolates showed an inverse association with 30 day mortality (adjusted HR 0.55; 95% CI 0.33-0.90). Conclusions Despite the reported virulence of hypermucoviscous KP strains, they were associated with good prognoses in KP BSI patients. Importantly, carriage of the pks gene cluster, which is responsible for the synthesis of colibactin, was a relevant marker of early mortality.

Clinical and virulence factors related to the 30-day mortality of Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteremia at a tertiary hospital: a case-control study. Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis 2019; 38:2291-2297. [PMID: 31605255 DOI: 10.1007/s10096-019-03676-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2019] [Accepted: 08/08/2019] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteremia is a critical clinical presentation that is associated with high mortality. However, extremely few studies have investigated the virulence factors related to mortality of K. pneumoniae bacteremia in patients. The present study elucidated clinical and virulence factors associated with the 30-day mortality of K. pneumoniae bacteremia at a tertiary hospital. The medical records of 129 patients with K. pneumoniae bacteremia admitted to Osaka City University Hospital between January 2012 and December 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Patient background characteristics, antimicrobial regimens, and prognosis were evaluated. Additionally, virulence factors were assessed using multiplex polymerase chain reaction to elucidate their association with K. pneumoniae. The 30-day mortality was 10.9% in patients with K. pneumoniae bacteremia. The male-to-female ratio, age, and underlying disease did not differ between the non-survivor and survivor groups. Multivariate analysis showed that sepsis (odds ratio (OR), 7.46; p = 0.005) and iutA (OR, 4.47; p = 0.046) were independent predictors associated with the 30-day mortality of K. pneumoniae bacteremia. Despite the relatively low 30-day mortality of patients with K. pneumoniae bacteremia, the treatment of those with sepsis and those infected with K. pneumoniae harboring iutA may require careful management for improving their outcomes.

Antimicrobial resistance and risk factors for mortality of pneumonia caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae among diabetics: a retrospective study conducted in Shanghai, China. Infect Drug Resist 2019; 12:1089-1098. [PMID: 31123410 PMCID: PMC6511257 DOI: 10.2147/idr.s199642] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2019] [Accepted: 03/23/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose: To investigate antimicrobial resistance and risk factors for mortality of Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) pneumonia in diabetics and nondiabetics. Patients and methods: A retrospective study was conducted among inpatients of KP pneumonia via electronic medical records in a territory hospital between January 2016 and June 2018. Antimicrobial resistance in KP pneumonia was compared between diabetics and nondiabetics. Independent risk factors for mortality in KP pneumonia were identified by univariate and multivariate logistic regression among diabetics and nondiabetics separately. Results: In this study, 456 patients with KP pneumonia were included. There were 156 cases with diabetes and 300 without diabetes. KP showed a lower antimicrobial resistance to a multitude of antimicrobials in pneumonia among diabetics than nondiabetics, namely aztreonam, cefotetan, sulperazone, meropenem, amikacin, tobramycin, sulfamethoxazole, and fosfomycin. In addition, carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) was more prevalent among nondiabetics than diabetics who were admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) (63.0% vs 45.1%, P = 0.038). Multivariable analysis showed that independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality (IHM) in KP pneumonia among diabetics differed from that among nondiabetics as well. Independent predictors for IHM of KP pneumonia among diabetics were male (OR: 5.89, 95% CI: 1.34-25.93, P = 0.019), albumin (ALB) < 35 g/L (OR: 7.00, 95% CI: 2.02-24.28, P = 0.002), bloodstream infection (BSI) (OR: 21.14, 95% CI: 3.18-140.72, P = 0.002), and invasive ventilation during hospitalization (OR: 8.00, 95% CI: 2.99-21.42, P < 0.001). In nondiabetics, independent predictors were higher CURB-65 score (OR: 1.92, 95% CI: 1.29-2.86, P = 0.001), CRKP (OR: 2.72, 95% CI: 1.07-6.90, P = 0.035), BSI (OR: 4.98, 95% CI: 1.34-18.50, P = 0.017), and ICU admission (OR: 4.06, 95% CI: 1.57-10.47, P = 0.004). Conclusion: In KP pneumonia, diabetics showed lower antimicrobial resistance and different independent risk factors for mortality compared with nondiabetics, in line with previous studies. Importantly, further attention should be paid on rational and effective antibiotic and supportive treatments in order to reduce mortality without aggravating antimicrobial resistance and metabolic damage among diabetics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to describe the epidemiological features of bacterial infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria in cirrhotic patients and their impact on mortality. METHODS A retrospective study of cirrhotic patients with culture-confirmed bacterial infections was performed between 2011 and 2017. RESULTS A total of 635 episodes in 563 patients with cirrhosis were included. Bacterial infections caused by MDR isolates accounted for 44.1% (280/635) of the episodes, nearly half of which were hospital acquired (48.4%). The most common MDR isolation site was the respiratory tract (36.4%, 102 episodes), followed by the abdominal cavity (35.4%, 99 episodes). Of the MDR isolates, carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) (91 episodes) were the most common. Patients infected with MDR bacteria had significantly higher mortality than those not infected (25.1% vs 17.4%, p = 0.025). However, this increased mortality could be largely attributed to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). After adjustment for age, sex, and the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score, only MRSA infection was an independent risk factor for 28-day mortality in the multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression model analysis (HR, 2.964, 95% CI (1.175-7.478), p = 0.021). CONCLUSIONS MDR bacterial infections, especially CRE, have become frequent in patients with cirrhosis in recent years, with MRSA infections significantly increasing short-term mortality.
