Efficacy and Safety Factors Related to Plasma Concentration-Optimized Polymyxin B Therapy in Treating Carbapenem-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacterial Infections in China. Infect Drug Resist 2024; 17:3057-3071. [PMID: 39050834 PMCID: PMC11268568 DOI: 10.2147/idr.s468890] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 07/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Polymyxin B (PMB)-based combination therapies are used to treat severe carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacterial (CR-GNB) infections. This observational study investigated the relationship between clinical factors, including PMB concentration, and clinical efficacy and safety. Patients and Methods Polymyxin B regimens were optimized through therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC). In all, 382 samples were tested from 130 patients. Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationships between variables with clinical efficacy and 30-day mortality factors were analyzed by Cox regression. The sensitivity and specificity of Cmin and AUC for the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) were determined by ROC curve analysis. Results The clinical effectiveness of PMB was 65.4%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that lung infection, continuous renal replacement therapy, and C-reactive protein were independent factors significantly associated with efficacy. AKI occurred in 14.6% of the patients during treatment; age > 73 years (OR: 3.63; 95% CI: 1.035-12.727; P = 0.044), Cmin greater than 2.3 µg/mL (OR: 7.37; 95% CI: 1.571-34.580; P = 0.011), combined vancomycin (OR: 9.47; 95% CI: 1.732-51.731; P = 0.009), and combined piperacillin-tazobactam (OR: 21.87; 95% CI: 3.139-152.324; P = 0.002) were independent risk factors. The identified PMB cut-offs for predicting AKI were Cmin = 2.3 µg/mL and AUC = 82.0 mg h/L. Conclusion Polymyxin B-based combination regimens are effective in treating CR-GNB infections, particularly bloodstream infections, but have shown unsatisfactory for lung infections. Cmin ≥ 2.3 µg /mL and AUC ≥ 82.0 mg h/L may increase PMB-associated AKI incidence. PMB dose should be adjusted based on TDM to ensure efficacy.

Ji B, Ye W. Prevention and control of hospital-acquired infections with multidrug-resistant organism: A review. Medicine (Baltimore) 2024; 103:e37018. [PMID: 38277558 PMCID: PMC10817162 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000037018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 01/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Multidrug-resistant is defined as nonsusceptibility to at least 1 agent in 3 or more antimicrobial categories. Controlling the spread of drug-resistant organisms is a key step in the management of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). To review the progress of research on the prevention and control of HAIs with multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) in the past 5 years, and to provide reference for the development of comprehensive measures for the prevention and control of HAIs with MDRO. We conducted a search in the PUBMED database for studies related to MDRO and HAIs from 2018 to 2023, then integrated this data with information sourced from the U.S.A. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Utilizing information technology to monitor and provide feedback on hand hygiene practices can enhance compliance. Environmental disinfection techniques such as ultraviolet or hydrogen peroxide demonstrate potential in reducing MDRO transmission. While some studies support that contact isolation measures for MDRO-infected or colonized patients can reduce HAIs, others do not confirm this outcome. Approaches for MDRO colonization among patients or physicians may mitigate MDRO transmission risk. Implementing clusterization interventions proves to enhance efficiency and cost-effectiveness in preventing and controlling MDRO. Early screening for pathogen species emerges as a valuable strategy aiding in antimicrobial use control. Combined with evidence from the literature, implementing clusterization interventions that include measures such as monitoring and feedback on hand hygiene and improved environmental disinfection techniques can help prevent and control HAIs with MDRO. However, further clinical studies are needed to validate the optimal clusterization intervention.

The nosocomial infection survey among patients suffering from the Coronavirus disease-2019 hospitalized in Ayatollah Rouhani Hospital, Babol. CASPIAN JOURNAL OF INTERNAL MEDICINE 2024; 15:509-518. [PMID: 39011447 PMCID: PMC11246687 DOI: 10.22088/cjim.15.3.509] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Revised: 11/26/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 07/17/2024]
Abstract
Background Having a weakened immune system can make patients easily get nosocomial infection (NI) with multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria and put them in a dangerous situation. It causes long hospital stays, disability, economic burden, and even death. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of NI in patients suffering from COVID-19. Methods In this retrospective study, the information on 250 patients suffering from COVID-19 in the intensive care unit (ICU) (2020 to 2021) was considered. For statistical analysis, analysis of variance (ANOVA), paired samples t-test, and chi-square using SPSS-23 software were used (p<0.05). Results Two hundred and fifty hospitalized (107 females and 143 males, mean ± standard deviation (SD) of age; 56.50 ± 17.20) patients were considered. The most (97.60%) medicine prescribed was remdesivir. Candida spp. (two females), Escherichia coli (two females), Acinetobacter spp. (one female), Citrobacter spp. (one female), Pseudomonas spp. (one male), Sphingomonas spp. (one male), Stenotrophomonas spp. (one male) and Enterobacter spp. (one male) were isolated from the patient's specimens. Four of seven bacterial isolates were positive for MDR. NI was diagnosed in six patients. There was no significant relationship between the age with the isolated microbes (P=0.154) and MDR (P=0.987) and also between gender with common microbes (P=0.576) and MDR (P=0.143). Conclusion The coexistence of bacteria and NI was observed in patients. Remdesivir was prescribed for most patients. Most bacteria were resistant to antibiotics, especially, β-lactams.

Antibiotic-Resistant ESKAPE Pathogens and COVID-19: The Pandemic beyond the Pandemic. Viruses 2023; 15:1843. [PMID: 37766250 PMCID: PMC10537211 DOI: 10.3390/v15091843] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 08/26/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Antibacterial resistance is a renewed public health plague in modern times, and the COVID-19 pandemic has rekindled this problem. Changes in antibiotic prescribing behavior, misinformation, financial hardship, environmental impact, and governance gaps have generally enhanced the misuse and improper access to antibiotics during the COVID-19 pandemic. These determinants, intersected with antibacterial resistance in the current pandemic, may amplify the potential for a future antibacterial resistance pandemic. The occurrence of infections with multidrug-resistant (MDR), extensively drug-resistant (XDR), difficult-to-treat drug-resistant (DTR), carbapenem-resistant (CR), and pan-drug-resistant (PDR) bacteria is still increasing. The aim of this review is to highlight the state of the art of antibacterial resistance worldwide, focusing on the most important pathogens, namely Enterobacterales, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Klebsiella pneumoniae, and their resistance to the most common antibiotics.
