JAC Antimicrob Resist 2021; 3:dlab140. [PMID: 34514410 PMCID: PMC8419367 DOI: 10.1093/jacamr/dlab140] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2021] [Accepted: 08/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Antibiotic resistance (ABR) is recognized as an increasing threat to global health. Haiti declared ABR an emerging public health threat in 2018, however, the current surveillance system is limited. We described the microbiological data from a Médecins Sans Frontières trauma hospital, to increase knowledge on ABR in Haiti for similar facilities. Methods A retrospective cross-sectional analysis of routine microbiological data of samples taken from patients admitted to the inpatient ward or followed up in the outpatient clinic of the trauma hospital from March 2012 to December 2018. Resistance trends were analysed per isolate and compared over the 7 year period. Results Among 1742 isolates, the most common samples were pus (53.4%), wound swabs (30.5%) and blood (6.9%). The most frequently detected bacteria from these sample types were Staphylococcus aureus (21.9%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (20.9%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (16.7%). MDR bacteria (32.0%), ESBL-producing bacteria (39.1%), MRSA (24.1%) and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) species (2.6%) were all detected. Between 2012 and 2018 the number of ESBL isolates significantly increased from 3.2% to 42.9% (P = 0.0001), and resistance to clindamycin in MSSA isolates rose from 3.7% to 29.6% (P = 0.003). Two critical WHO priority pathogens (ESBL-producing CRE and carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa) were also detected. Conclusions Over a 7 year period, a high prevalence of MDR bacteria was observed, while ESBL-producing bacteria showed a significantly increasing trend. ABR surveillance is important to inform clinical decisions, treatment guidelines and infection prevention and control practices.

Impact of a restrictive antibiotic policy on the acquisition of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in an endemic region: a before-and-after, propensity-matched cohort study in a Caribbean intensive care unit. CRITICAL CARE : THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE CRITICAL CARE FORUM 2021; 25:261. [PMID: 34311760 PMCID: PMC8311634 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-021-03660-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2021] [Accepted: 06/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND High-level antibiotic consumption plays a critical role in the selection and spread of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) in the ICU. Implementation of a stewardship program including a restrictive antibiotic policy was evaluated with respect to ESBL-E acquisition (carriage and infection). METHODS We implemented a 2-year, before-and-after intervention study including all consecutive adult patients admitted for > 48 h in the medical-surgical 26-bed ICU of Guadeloupe University Hospital (French West Indies). A conventional strategy period (CSP) including a broad-spectrum antibiotic as initial empirical treatment, followed by de-escalation (period before), was compared to a restrictive strategy period (RSP) limiting broad-spectrum antibiotics and shortening their duration. Antibiotic therapy was delayed and initiated only after microbiological identification, except for septic shock, severe acute respiratory distress syndrome and meningitis (period after). A multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression model adjusted on propensity score values was performed. The main outcome was the median time of being ESBL-E-free in the ICU. Secondary outcome included all-cause ICU mortality. RESULTS The study included 1541 patients: 738 in the CSP and 803 in the RSP. During the RSP, less patients were treated with antibiotics (46.8% vs. 57.9%; p < 0.01), treatment duration was shorter (5 vs. 6 days; p < 0.01), and administration of antibiotics targeting anaerobic pathogens significantly decreased (65.3% vs. 33.5%; p < 0.01) compared to the CSP. The incidence of ICU-acquired ESBL-E was lower (12.1% vs. 19%; p < 0.01) during the RSP. The median time of being ESBL-E-free was 22 days (95% CI 16-NA) in the RSP and 18 days (95% CI 16-21) in the CSP. After propensity score weighting and adjusted analysis, the median time of being ESBL-E-free was independently associated with the RSP (hazard ratio, 0.746 [95% CI 0.575-0.968]; p = 0.02, and hazard ratio 0.751 [95% CI 0.578-0.977]; p = 0.03, respectively). All-cause ICU mortality was lower in the RSP than in the CSP (22.5% vs. 28.6%; p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Implementation of a program including a restrictive antibiotic strategy is feasible and is associated with less ESBL-E acquisition in the ICU without any worsening of patient outcome.

Antibiotic-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in Low-Income Countries (2000-2020): Twenty-One Years and Still below the Radar, Is It Not There or Can They Not Afford to Look for It? Antibiotics (Basel) 2021; 10:antibiotics10070764. [PMID: 34201723 PMCID: PMC8300836 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics10070764] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2021] [Revised: 06/21/2021] [Accepted: 06/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Acinetobacter baumannii is an emerging pathogen, and over the last three decades it has proven to be particularly difficult to treat by healthcare services. It is now regarded as a formidable infectious agent with a genetic setup for prompt development of resistance to most of the available antimicrobial agents. Yet, it is noticed that there is a gap in the literature covering this pathogen especially in countries with limited resources. In this review, we provide a comprehensive updated overview of the available data about A. baumannii, the multi-drug resistant (MDR) phenotype spread, carbapenem-resistance, and the associated genetic resistance determinants in low-income countries (LIICs) since the beginning of the 21st century. The coverage included three major databases; PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Only 52 studies were found to be relevant covering only 18 out of the 29 countries included in the LIC group. Studies about two countries, Syria and Ethiopia, contributed ~40% of the studies. Overall, the survey revealed a wide spread of MDR and alarming carbapenem-resistance profiles. Yet, the total number of studies is still very low compared to those reported about countries with larger economies. Accordingly, a discussion about possible reasons and recommendations to address the issue is presented. In conclusion, our analyses indicated that the reported studies of A. baumannii in the LICs is far below the expected numbers based on the prevailing circumstances in these countries. Lack of proper surveillance systems due to inadequate financial resources could be a major contributor to these findings.

J Glob Antimicrob Resist 2019; 19:338-347. [PMID: 31212106 DOI: 10.1016/j.jgar.2019.06.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2018] [Revised: 05/26/2019] [Accepted: 06/10/2019] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Maternal colonisation with extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing micro-organisms can lead to transmission of such pathogens to neonates, resulting in considerable morbidity. The aim of this study was to determine the global prevalence of maternal colonisation with ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E). METHODS A systematic review of PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science and ProQuest databases as well as the grey literature was performed. Studies reporting the prevalence of ESBL-E colonisation during pregnancy or postpartum period were included. Prevalence data were grouped by geographic region. The pooled prevalence and 95% confidence interval (CI) was estimated by meta-analysis using a random-effects model. RESULTS Nineteen studies with reports from 16 countries (seven studies from Africa, one study from South America, two studies from Asia and nine studies from Europe) reporting data for 7352 pregnant/postpartum women were included. The pooled prevalence of ESBL-E colonisation was 8% (95% CI 5-10%). Prevalence estimates were 15% (95% CI 5-24%) in Africa, 6% (95% CI 4-10%) in South America, 5% (95% CI 4-6%) in Asia and 4% (95% CI 2-5%) in Europe. The pooled prevalence was higher in studies with low risk of bias (10%; 95% CI 7-13%) compared with those with high risk of bias (3%; 95% CI 2-3%). CONCLUSION There was heterogeneity regarding ESBL-E colonisation rates in different continents. The pooled prevalence rate was higher in Africa compared with other areas. Given that the highest rate was observed in Africa, implementing screening efforts for ESBL-E colonisation during pregnancy may be justified.
