Strong Homology Between Colonizing and Bloodstream Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter Spp.: Implications for Empiric Antibiotic Therapy in Hematological Patients.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to assess the impact of colonization status on the outcomes of Acinetobacter spp. bloodstream infection (BSI) and investigate the homology and within-host evolution between colonizing and bloodstream carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter spp. (CRA) to inform antibiotic therapeutic decisions. Methods We analyzed clinical outcomes of 46 hematological patients with Acinetobacter spp. BSI and performed whole-genome sequencing on the remaining CRA isolates. Results Among the patients, 39.1% (n=18) had prior Acinetobacter spp. colonization. Colonized patients had higher rates of polymicrobial BSI (50.0% vs 21.4%, P=0.044) and CRA BSI (72.2% vs 17.9%, P<0.001), resulting in elevated inflammatory markers and increased 30-day mortality. Each of the eight pairs of the remaining respiratory colonizing and bloodstream CRA strains belonged to the same genomospecies. Each pair exhibited definitive agreement in at least 21 of the 22 most representative antibiotic susceptibility tests. The minimum spanning tree based on multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and phylogenetic trees based on MLST and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) all indicated that each pair shared the same minimum branch. Very few non-synonymous SNPs in genic regions were identified during the transition from respiratory colonization to bloodstream infection, with minimal changes in virulence genes. Homology analysis suggested that CRA BSI originated from colonizing isolates in the respiratory tract. Conclusion Strict infection control measures are needed to manage Acinetobacter spp. colonisation in hematological patients. Appropriate empirical therapy can be administered for suspected CRA BSI based on the antimicrobial minimum inhibitory concentration of CRA colonising the respiratory tract.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study investigated the clinical and antimicrobial characteristics of Acinetobacter spp. bloodstream infection (BSI) in hematological patients. Risk factors for 30-day mortality and carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter spp. (CRA) BSI acquisition were also identified. METHODS We reviewed forty hematological patients with Acinetobacter spp. BSI in a large Chinese blood disease hospital between 2013 and 2022. The remaining CRA isolates were subjected to whole-genome sequencing. RESULTS The 30-day mortality rate was high at 35%. Hematological patients with Acinetobacter spp. BSI often presented with severe conditions and co-infections at multiple sites. All strains were colistin-susceptible and 40.0% were CR. Multivariate analysis identified several risk factors associated with CRA BSI acquisition, including previous exposure to carbapenems within 30 days and CRA colonization. Very severe aplastic anaemia, tetracycline-resistant Acinetobacter spp. BSI, and unresolved neutropenia after infection were closely associated with 30-day mortality. Non-survivors often presented with higher median PCT and CRP levels and severe complications, such as intracranial infection, cardiac dysfunction, respiratory failure, and severe sepsis or septic shock. Our study also identified inappropriate empirical antibiotic therapy as an independent predictor of 30-day mortality (OR: 11.234, 95% CI: 1.261-20.086, P = 0.030). This study was the first to report A. oleivorans as a human pathogen, and to identify its unique oxacillinase, OXA-325. CONCLUSION An environment-originated non-pathogenic species can become pathogenic when the body's immunity is compromised. Our results also highlighted the importance of improving neutropenia after infection, treating severe organ dysfunction, and administering appropriate empirical antibiotic therapy to reduce mortality in this patient population.

Socioeconomic burden of pneumonia due to multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Korea. Sci Rep 2022; 12:13934. [PMID: 35978016 PMCID: PMC9385716 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-18189-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2022] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
We aimed to estimate the socioeconomic burden of pneumonia due to multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MRAB) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MRPA). We prospectively searched for MRAB and MRPA pneumonia cases and matched them with susceptible-organism pneumonia and non-infected patients from 10 hospitals. The matching criteria were: same principal diagnosis, same surgery or intervention during hospitalisation, age, sex, and admission date within 60 days. We calculated the economic burden by using the difference in hospital costs, the difference in caregiver costs, and the sum of productivity loss from an unexpected death. We identified 108 MRAB pneumonia [MRAB-P] and 28 MRPA pneumonia [MRPA-P] cases. The estimated number of annual MRAB-P and MRPA-P cases in South Korea were 1309–2483 and 339–644, with 485–920 and 133–253 deaths, respectively. The annual socioeconomic burden of MRAB-P and MRPA-P in South Korea was $64,549,723–122,533,585 and $15,241,883–28,994,008, respectively. The results revealed that MRAB-P and MRPA-P occurred in 1648–3127 patients, resulted in 618–1173 deaths, and caused a nationwide socioeconomic burden of $79,791,606–151,527,593. Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) impose a great clinical and economic burden at a national level. Therefore, controlling the spread of MDRO will be an effective measure to reduce this burden.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bacteremia is a life-threatening condition with a high mortality rate in critical care and emergency settings. The current study investigated the trend of mortality and developed predictive models of mortality for adults with bacteremia at emergency departments (EDs). METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study of adults with bacteremia at the ED of China Medical University Hospital. Patient data were obtained from the Clinical Research Data Repository, and mortality information was obtained from the National Death Registry. We developed a new model to predict 7-day mortality in the derivation population and compared the model performance of the new model with Pitt Bacteremia Score (PBS) and Bloodstream Infection Mortality Risk Score (BSIMRS) in the validation population. RESULTS We identified 14625 adult patients with first-time bacteremia at the ED, of whom 8.4% died within 7 days. From 2003 to 2016, both the cumulative incidence and 7-day mortality rate of bacteremia decreased significantly. The ED bacteremia mortality (ED-BM) model included PBS parameters, age, infection source, baseline steroid use, and biochemical profiles (estimated glomerular filtration rate, platelet, blood urea nitrogen, potassium, and hemoglobin) for predicting 7-day mortality. The discrimination performance of the ED-BM model (area under curve [AUC], 0.903) was significantly better than that of PBS (AUC, 0.848) or BSIMRS (AUC, 0.885). CONCLUSIONS Although the cumulative incidence and mortality of ED bacteremia decreased, its mortality burden remains critical. The proposed ED-BM model had significantly better model performance than other scoring systems in predicting short-term mortality for adult patients with bacteremia at EDs.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of the proportion and associated mortality of polymicrobial (vs monomicrobial) pulmonary and bloodstream infections by Acinetobacter baumannii complex.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Differentiating Acinetobacter baumannii complex (ABC) infection from colonization remains difficult and further complicated in polymicrobial infections. PURPOSE To assess the frequency of polymicrobial ABC infections and associated mortality. We hypothesized a lower mortality in polymicrobial infections if ABC isolation reflects colonization in some polymicrobial infections. METHODS A systematic review was conducted in PubMed, Scopus and CENTRAL for studies reporting ABC pulmonary and bloodstream infections. The proportion of infections that were polymicrobial and the magnitude of the association between polymicrobial (vs monomicrobial) infection and mortality were estimated with meta-analyses. RESULTS Based on 80 studies (9759 infections) from 23 countries, the pooled proportion of polymicrobial infection was 27% (95% CI 22-31%) and was similarly high for bloodstream and pulmonary infections. Polymicrobial infection was variably and insufficiently defined in most (95%) studies. Considerable heterogeneity (I2 = 95%) was observed that persisted in subgroup analyses and meta-regressions. Based on 17 studies (2675 infections), polymicrobial infection was associated with lower 28-day mortality (OR = 0.75, 95% CI 0.58-0.98, I2 = 36%). However, polymicrobial infection was not associated with in-hospital mortality (OR = 0.97, 95% CI 0.69-1.35, I2 = 0%) based on 14 studies (953 infections). The quality of evidence (GRADE) for the association of polymicrobial (vs monomicrobial) infection with mortality was low and at high risk of bias. CONCLUSION Polymicrobial ABC infections are common and may be associated with lower 28-day mortality. Considering the heterogeneity of polymicrobial infections and limitations of the available literature, more research is required to clarify the clinical impact of polymicrobial (vs monomicrobial) ABC infection.

Abstract
Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) is one of the most commonly reported nosocomial infections in cancer patients and could be fatal because of suboptimal immune defenses in these patients. We aimed to compare clinical response, microbiological response, nephrotoxicity, and 30-day mortality between cancer patients who received short (<14 days) and long (≥14 days) courses of colistin for treatment of CRAB infection. A retrospective cohort study was conducted in cancer patients with CRAB infection who received short or long courses of colistin between 2015 to 2017 at Chiang Mai University Hospital (CMUH). A total of 128 patients met the inclusion criteria. The results of this study show that patients who received long course of colistin therapy had a higher rate of clinical response; adjusted odds ratio (OR) was 3.16 times in patients receiving long-course colistin therapy (95%CI, 1.37–7.28; p value = 0.007). Microbiological response in patients with long course was 4.65 times (adjusted OR) higher than short course therapy (95%CI, 1.72–12.54; p value = 0.002). Moreover, there was no significant difference in nephrotoxicity (adjusted OR, 0.91, 95%CI, 0.39–2.11; p value = 0.826) between the two durations of therapy. Thirty-day mortality in the long-course therapy group was 0.11 times (adjusted OR) compared to the short-course therapy group (95%CI, 0.03–0.38; p value = 0.001). Propensity score analyses also demonstrated similar results. In conclusion, cancer patients who received a long course of colistin therapy presented greater clinical and microbiological responses and lower 30-day mortality but similar nephrotoxicity as compared with those who a received short course. Therefore, a long course of colistin therapy should be considered for management of CRAB infection in cancer patients.

Clinical Efficacy and Nephrotoxicity of Colistin Alone versus Colistin Plus Vancomycin in Critically Ill Patients Infected with Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis. Pharmaceutics 2021; 13:pharmaceutics13020162.

Abstract
Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as a significant concern worldwide. The mortality rate of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CRAB) is increasing, especially in the intensive care unit (ICU). Thus, the objective of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of colistin plus vancomycin for the treatment of critically ill patients with CRAB in Chiang Mai University Hospital. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of critically ill patients in the ICU with CRAB infection who received colistin alone or colistin-vancomycin combination therapy at Chiang Mai University Hospital. A total of 365 critically ill patients met the inclusion criteria. The results in this study showed that after propensity score matching, colistin plus vancomycin showed no significant differences in the 30-day mortality compared to colistin alone. Likewise, for colistin plus vancomycin, compared with colistin therapy alone, there were no significant differences in the clinical response, microbiological response and nephrotoxicity. In conclusion, colistin plus vancomycin was no significant differences in 30-day mortality, clinical response, microbiological response compared to colistin alone for infections due to CRAB. The nephrotoxicity rates were similar for both groups, so colistin combination with vancomycin was not necessary for the management of infection caused by CRAB.

Abstract
Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB), an important nosocomial pathogen, occurs particularly in the intensive care unit (ICU). Thus, the aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of documented treatment with colistin monotherapy versus colistin plus meropenem in critically ill patients with CRAB infections at Chiang Mai University Hospital (CMUH). We conducted a retrospective cohort study of critically ill patients with CRAB infections in an ICU from 2015 to 2017, who received colistin monotherapy versus colistin plus meropenem. After propensity score matching, an adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of a 30-day mortality rate in patients who received colistin plus meropenem was 0.43 compared to those who received colistin monotherapy (95% CI, 0.23–0.82, p = 0.01). aORs of clinical response and microbiological response were also higher in patients who received colistin plus meropenem (1.81, 95% CI 1.01–3.26, p = 0.048 and 2.08, 95% CI 1.11–3.91, p = 0.023, respectively). There was no significant difference in nephrotoxicity (aOR, 0.76, 95% CI, 0.43–1.36, p = 0.363) between colistin monotherapy and colistin plus meropenem. In conclusion, the addition of meropenem to colistin caused a reduction in 30-day mortality, higher clinical and microbiological responses, and did not increase nephrotoxicity compared to colistin monotherapy. Furthermore, 30-day mortality was significantly related with age, receiving vasopressor, having malignancy, and the APACHE II score.

Risk factors associated with bloodstream infection among patients colonized by multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii: A 7-year observational study in a general hospital. Am J Infect Control 2020; 48:581-583. [PMID: 31540833 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajic.2019.07.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2019] [Revised: 07/30/2019] [Accepted: 07/31/2019] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
We studied bloodstream infection by multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii among patients in a medical intensive care unit. Over a 7-year period, 47 of 441 colonized patients developed a bloodstream infection.. Endotracheal intubation (odds ratio [OR], 5.88), ventilator support (OR, 3.70), and central venous catheterization (OR, 3.48) were identified as risk factors.

Abstract
The prevalence of acinetobacter baumannii (AB) as a cause of hospital infections has been rising. Unfortunately, emerging colistin resistance limits therapeutic options and affects the outcome. The aim of the study was to confirm our clinically-driven hypothesis that intensive care unit (ICU) patients with AB resistant-to-colistin (ABCoR) bloodstream infection (BSI) develop fulminant septic shock and die. We conducted a 28-month retrospective observational study including all patients developing AB infection on ICU admission or during ICU stay. From 622 screened patients, 31 patients with BSI sepsis were identified. Thirteen (41.9%) patients had ABCoR BSI and 18/31 (58.1%) had colistin-susceptible (ABCoS) BSI. All ABCoR BSI patients died; of them, 69% (9/13) presented with fulminant septic shock and died within the first 3 days from its onset. ABCoR BSI patients compared to ABCoS BSI patients had higher mortality (100% vs. 50%, respectively (p = 0.001)), died sooner (p = 0.006), had lower pH (p = 0.004) and higher lactate on ICU admission (p = 0.0001), and had higher APACHE II (p = 0.01) and Charlson Comorbidity Index scores (p = 0.044). In conclusion, we documented that critically ill patients with ABCoR BSI exhibit fulminant septic shock with excessive mortality. Our results highlight the emerging clinical problem of AB colistin resistance among ICU patients.

Abstract
Aims: Acinetobacter baumannii has become an important nosocomial pathogen that causes invasive infections. We conducted a retrospective study to evaluate the risk factors for mortality due to A. baumannii bacteremia in children. Materials and Methods: We reviewed data from Seoul National University Children's Hospital from 2002 to 2013 for children with A. baumannii bacteremia, including age, gender, underlying disease, associated site of infection, duration of hospitalization, presence of neutropenia, and antibiotic susceptibility data. The outcome measures were the 7- and 30-day mortality rates. Results: Among 74 A. baumannii bacteremia cases, 35.1% were carbapenem nonsusceptible. Common comorbidities were malignancy or hematologic diseases (28.4%), followed by gastrointestinal/hepatobiliary diseases (21.6%). A total of 47.3% of patients had isolated bacteremia, and in 33.8% of patients, pneumonia accompanied bacteremia. The mortality rates were 18.9% at 7 days and 35.1% at 30 days. The significant associated factors for 30-day mortality were carbapenem nonsusceptibility (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 1.28, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.10-11.82, p = 0.034), neutropenia (aHR: 1.68, 95% CI: 1.60-18.03, p = 0.007), and prior intensive care unit (ICU) admission (aHR: 1.15, 95% CI: 1.03-9.73, p = 0.045). The mortality rate among neutropenic patients with inappropriate empirical antibiotics was higher than that among patients with appropriate empirical antibiotics (90.1% vs. 33.3%, p = 0.031). Conclusions: We identified carbapenem nonsusceptibility, neutropenia, and prolonged ICU stay as independent risk factors for mortality due to A. baumannii bacteremia in children. An early administration of appropriate antibiotics should be enacted, especially in patients with neutropenia.
