Abstract
This study investigated the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in Nile tilapia from fresh markets and supermarkets. A total of samples (n = 828) were collected from Nile tilapia including fish flesh (n = 276), liver and kidney (n = 276), and intestine (n = 276). Overall prevalence of fecal coliforms (61.6%) and E. coli (53.0%) were observed. High prevalence of E. coli was found in the intestine (71.4%), followed by the liver and kidney (45.7%). The highest prevalence of resistance was commonly found against tetracycline (78.5%), ampicillin (72.8%), and sulfamethoxazole (45.6%) with resistance to only tetracycline (15.2%) as the most common antibiogram. The prevalence of multidrug resistance (MDR) (54.4%) and Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) (5.7%) were examined. The predominant virulence genes (n = 158) were st (14.6%), followed by eaeA (0.6%). The blaTEM (73.4%), tetA (65.2%), and qnrS (57.6%). There is statistical significance between Nile tilapia from fresh markets and supermarkets. Based on logistic regression analysis, ampicillin-resistant E. coli was statistically associated with the phenotypic resistance to tetracycline and trimethoprim, and the presence of blaTEM and tetA (p < 0.05). Further investigation of AMR transference and their mechanisms is needed for AMR control.

[PMID: 37854470 PMCID: PMC10581018 DOI: 10.2147/idr.s418455] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2023] [Accepted: 09/14/2023] [Indexed: 10/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective The emerging epidemic of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing E. coli (ESBL-EC) is a global public health crisis. ESBL-EC infections are increasing worldwide and contribute to morbidity and mortality among newborn infants. However, the antimicrobial resistance characteristics and clonal transmission of maternal and neonatal ESBL-EC isolates need to be further deciphered. Materials and Methods We performed phenotypic and genotypic characterization of 33 ESBL-EC isolates from pregnant women and newborn during 2019-2020. Results Minimum inhibitory concentrations of 17 antimicrobial agents showed that all isolates were multidrug-resistant (MDR) and had a resistance rate of 100% to ampicillin, and mild resistance to florfenicol, gentamicin, ceftazidime, and amoxicillin-clavulanate. Additionally, imipenem, meropenem, polymyxin, and tigecycline exhibited good activity against the tested ESBL-EC isolates with low MIC50 (0.06-1 μg/mL) and MIC90 (0.06-1 μg/mL). Whole genome sequencing indicated that ESBL-EC isolates contained diverse antimicrobial resistant genes (blaCTX-M, blaTEM, blaSHV, tetA, etc.) and toxin genes (ompA, csg, fimH, hybtA, etc.). blaCTX-M genes were the main ESBL genotype. ST1193 (18.2%) was the second most abundant ST among the ESBL-EC isolates (ST131 was the most common, with 30.3%), and this is the first report of its mother-to-infant colonization transmission in China. Conclusion These findings revealed the occurrence of high-risk ST1193 clone among ESBL-EC isolates from pregnant women and newborn colonization in China. Further national or regional multicenter studies are needed to assess the dissemination and evolution of ESBL-EC ST1193 clone as a nosocomial pathogen in China.

Infect Drug Resist 2023; 16:6061-6077. [PMID: 37719649 PMCID: PMC10503517 DOI: 10.2147/idr.s420898] [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: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 08/02/2023] [Indexed: 09/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose We aimed to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial effects of combination of cefepime/avibactam against carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumonia (CRKP) and explore the resistance mechanism of FEP/AVI. Patients and Methods This study explored the in vitro antibacterial activities of ceftazidime/avibactam (CAZ/AVI) and cefepime/avibactam (FEP/AVI) against 40 and 76 CRKP clinical isolates. Proteomics and metabolomics were employed to investigate the resistance mechanisms of CRKP to FEP/AVI. Results FEP/AVI (MIC50/MIC90 0.5/4-64/4 μg/mL, resistance rate 17.1%) showed better antibacterial activity against CRKP than CAZ/AVI (MIC50/MIC90 4/4-128/4 μg/mL, resistance rate 20%) in vitro. Bioinformatics analysis showed that the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were enriched in alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism, and ribosome. Remarkably, transcriptional and translational activity-related pathways were inhibited in FEP/AVI resistant CRKP. Overlap analysis suggested that H-NS might play an important role in resistance to FEP/AVI in CRKP. The mRNA levels of DEPs-related genes (adhE, gltB, purA, ftsI and hns) showed the same trends as DEPs in FEP/AVI susceptible and resistant strains. FEP/AVI resistant isolates demonstrated stronger biofilm formation capacity than susceptible isolates. Metabolomics results showed that disturbed metabolites were mainly lipids, and adenine was decreased in FEP/AVI resistant CRKP. Conclusion These results indicated that H-NS, GltB and SpoT may directly or indirectly promote biofilm formation of CRKP and led to FEP/AVI resistance, but inhibited ribosomal function. Our study provides a mechanistic insight into the acquisition of resistance to FEP/AVI in Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Infect Drug Resist 2023; 16:5627-5635. [PMID: 37662974 PMCID: PMC10473398 DOI: 10.2147/idr.s418969] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2023] [Accepted: 08/10/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) is a known significant opportunistic pathogen causing morbidity and mortality, particularly in those with cystic fibrosis, chronic granulomatous disease, or immunocompromising host. Mortality of Bcc bloodstream infections among non-cystic fibrosis patients remained high. The antibiotic treatment for Bcc infection is quite challenging due to its intrinsic resistance to most antibiotics, and the resistance to carbapenems was the biggest concern among them. We aimed to realize the mechanism of carbapenem resistance in Bcc. Patients and Methods Ten strains of Bcc were identified by the MALDI-TOF MS, and the drug susceptibility test was using VITEK 2 system. The Burkholderia cepacia complex genomes were sequenced via Nanopore GridIon. We also downloaded another ninety-five strains of Bcc from the National Center for Biotechnology Information database to evaluate the divergence between carbapenem-resistance and carbapenem-sensitive strains. Results The genetic organization between carbapenem-sensitive and carbapenem-resistant strains of Bcc showed no difference. However, in the carbapenem-sensitive strain, E151V substitution in PenR was detected. In addition, a novel specific OXA family subgroup, blaOXA-1043 in Burkholderia cenocepacia was discovered. Conclusion The E151V substitution in PenR may be associated with carbapenem-sensitive in Bcc. Moreover, the V151E mutation in PenR may be related to the activation of PenB, leading to Bcc resistance to carbapenems. Besides, a novel OXA family subgroup, blaOXA-1043, was found in Burkholderia cenocepacia, which differs from the previous OXA family.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to investigate the antibiotic resistance patterns and clinical distribution of blood culture-positive isolates at Suining Central Hospital between 2018 and 2021. The findings of this study can provide a basis for ensuring rational and effective use of antibiotic therapy in clinical settings. Methods This retrospective study analyzed the data of 3660 non-repeating strains that tested positive for clinical blood culture, collected from the microbiology laboratory of Suining Central Hospital between January 2018 and December 2021. The identification of bacterial species and their antibiotic resistance patterns were analyzed. Results The study found that 76.7% of the bacterial strains identified were Gram-negative bacteria, while 23.3% were Gram-positive bacteria. Escherichia coli (44.8%), Klebsiella spp. (19.2%), Staphylococcus aureus (9.2%), Enterococcus spp. (5.3%), and Enterobacter spp. were the top five bacterial ratios observed. These bacteria were detected most frequently in the Digestion Center, intensive care unit (ICU), Neurology Center, Urology Department, and Hematology Department. Among the Staphylococcus spp., methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MRCNS) were detected at rates of 39.3% and 71.8%, respectively. However, no vancomycin- or linezolid-resistant staphylococci were identified. Enterococcus faecalis showed higher susceptibility to most antibiotic than Enterococcus faecium, except for tetracycline. The resistance rates of E. coli and Klebsiella spp. to meropenem and imipenem were low, but the resistance rates for other antibiotic were above 40%. Conclusion The results of this study show a rising incidence of bacterial antibiotic resistance in positive blood culture specimens at Suining Central Hospital. Clinicians should carefully consider the importance of blood culture antibiotic susceptibility testing to ensure effective treatment. The Department of Microbiology at Suining Central Hospital should regularly analyze the distribution of pathogenic bacteria and antibiotic resistance in blood cultures to ensure the most effective treatment possible.

Abstract
Purpose The emergence of multi-drug resistant ESBL-producing E. coli poses a global health problem. In this study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of E. coli infections and their antibiotic susceptibility profiles in paediatric clinical cases in Shenzhen, China from Jan 1, 2014, to Jan 30, 2019, while also determining temporal trends, identifying ESBL-producing strains, and recommending potential empirical antibiotic therapy options. Methods We isolated a total of 4148 E. coli from different specimens from a single paediatric healthcare centre. Additionally, we obtained relevant demographic data from the hospital's electronic health records. Subsequently, we performed antimicrobial susceptibility testing for 8 classes of antibiotics and assessed ESBL production. Results Out of the 4148 isolates, 2645 were from males. The highest burden of E. coli was observed in the age group of 0-1 years, which gradually declined over the five-year study period. Antimicrobial susceptibility results indicated that 82% of E. coli isolates were highly resistant to ampicillin, followed by 52.36% resistant to cefazolin and 47.46% resistant to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. Notably, a high prevalence of ESBL production (49.54%) was observed among the E. coli isolates, with 60% of them displaying a multi-drug resistance phenotype. However, it is worth mentioning that a majority of the isolates remained susceptible to ertapenem and imipenem. Our findings also highlighted a decrease in E. coli infections in Shenzhen, primarily among hospitalized patients in the 0-1 year age group. However, this decline was accompanied by a considerably high rate of ESBL production and increasing resistance to multiple antibiotics. Conclusion Our study underscores the urgent need for effective strategies to combat multi-drug resistant ESBL-producing E. coli Infections.

Abstract
The adverse events related to sodium colistimethate have had variability regarding the prevalence of nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and less frequent respiratory depression. In recent years, its use has been relevant due to the increase of multidrug-resistant bacteria since it is considered the last-line drug, being its main adverse event and reason for discrepancies between authors' nephrotoxicity. The indiscriminate use of antibiotic therapy has generated multiple mechanisms of resistance, the most common being related to Colistin, the bactericidal escape effect. Based on the search criteria, no randomized clinical trials were identified showing safety and efficacy with the use of Colistin, inferring that the application of the appropriate dose is governed by expert opinion and retrospective and prospective observational studies, which confounding factors such as the severity of the patient and the predisposition to develop acute renal failure are constant. In this review, we focus on identifying the mechanism of nephrotoxicity and bacterial resistance, where much remains to be known.

Abstract
The occurrence of colistin resistance has increased rapidly among Enterobacterales around the world. We performed a national survey of plasmid-mediated colistin resistance in human clinical isolates through a retrospective analysis of samples from 2009 to 2017 and a prospective sampling in 2018-2020. The aim of this study was to identify and characterize isolates with mcr genes from various regions of the Czech Republic using whole genome sequencing (WGS). Of all 1932 colistin-resistant isolates analyzed, 73 (3.8%) were positive for mcr genes. Most isolates carried mcr-1 (48/73) and were identified as Escherichia coli (n = 44) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (n = 4) of various sequence types (ST). Twenty-five isolates, including Enterobacter spp. (n = 24) and Citrobacter freundii (n = 1) carrying the mcr-9 gene were detected; three of them (Enterobacter kobei ST54) co-harbored the mcr-4 and mcr-9 genes. Multi-drug resistance phenotype was a common feature of mcr isolates and 14% (10/73) isolates also co-harbored clinically important beta-lactamases, including two isolates with carbapenemases KPC-2 and OXA-48. Phylogenetic analysis of E. coli ST744, the dominant genotype in this study, with the global collection showed Czech isolates belonged to two major clades, one containing isolates from Europe, while the second composed of isolates from diverse geographical areas. The mcr-1 gene was carried by IncX4 (34/73, 47%), IncHI2/ST4 (6/73, 8%) and IncI2 (8/73, 11%) plasmid groups. Small plasmids belonging to the ColE10 group were associated with mcr-4 in three isolates, while mcr-9 was carried by IncHI2/ST1 plasmids (4/73, 5%) or the chromosome (18/73, 25%). We showed an overall low level of occurrence of mcr genes in colistin-resistant bacteria from human clinical samples in the Czech Republic.

Abstract
Post-neurosurgical infections caused by multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales are difficult to treat due to limited therapeutic options. Ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI), a combination of cephalosporin and a novel β-lactamase inhibitor, has exhibited potential activity against multi/extensive drug-resistant (MDR/XDR) gram-negative bacilli. Several reports have described the successful treatment of central infections caused by MDR/XDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Enterobacterales. However, data on the efficacy and effective drug distribution of CAZ-AVI in the central nervous system (CNS), particularly in children, are lacking. We report a case of a 4-year-old girl with post-neurosurgical meningitis and abscess caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli successfully treated with CAZ-AVI. CAZ-AVI therapeutic drug monitoring was performed to evaluate its efficacy and effective drug distribution in the CNS. We measured CAZ (15.6, 7.1, and 3.5 μg/mL) and AVI (4.0, 2.1, and 1.2 μg/mL) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples obtained 3, 5, and 7 h after the administration of the 15th CAZ-AVI dose (2.5 g, q8h, iv), respectively. We also measured CAZ (57.0 and 25.8 μg/mL) and AVI (11.3 and 4.5 μg/mL) in serum samples obtained 3 and 5 h after the administration, respectively. CAZ-AVI achieved an adequate CSF concentration throughout the drug interval. Our case provides evidence for using CAZ-AVI to treat CNS infections.

[PMID: 36597449 PMCID: PMC9805715 DOI: 10.2147/idr.s397872] [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: 11/18/2022] [Accepted: 12/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Limited data are available on the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of extended spectrum β-lactamase- (ESBL) and AmpC β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli in stray dogs. We aimed to investigate the genomic characteristics of ESBL/AmpC-producing E. coli isolated from stray dogs sheltered in Yangzhou, China. Methods We collected 156 samples including 115 fecal swabs, 35 kennel floor swabs, two breeder hand and shoe sole swabs, and four feed samples. The isolates were tested for resistance by antimicrobial susceptibility testing and further analyzed for cefotaxime-resistant E. coli isolates by whole genome sequencing. Results We identified 80 cefotaxime-resistant E. coli isolates (51.3%), 59 isolates (73.8%) from feces and 21 (26.2%) from the environment. Whole-genome sequencing analysis showed that bla CTX-M-15 (n=30) and bla CTX-M-55 (n=29) were the most prevalent genotypes. Two isolates only carried the AmpC β-lactamase gene bla CMY-2; one isolate had a combination of AmpC β-lactamase gene bla DHA-1 and ESBL β-lactamase gene bla CTX-M-14. Other important resistance genes such as bla OXA-10, bla TEM-1B, bla TEM-135, bla TEM-106, tet(A), qnrS1, qnrB4, and oqxAB were also detected. The serotype combination was highly abundant, with O10:H25 predominating (n=12). Most cefotaxime-resistant E. coli isolates belonged to phylogroup A (62.5%, n=50), followed by phylogroup B1 (26.3%, n=21). Thirty different sequence types (STs) and 27 distinct plasmid replicons were identified, among which ST2325 (n=12) and IncFII (n=38) was the most frequent ST and plasmid, respectively. ESBL/AmpC-producing isolates were divided into four major clades; clade IV was the primary lineage containing 37 isolates from feces and 13 from the environment. Three high-risk E. coli clone ST23 strains and one ST10 strain belonged to clades III and IV, respectively. Conclusion Our study provides a comprehensive overview of resistance profiles and genomic characteristics in ESBL/AmpC-producing E. coli and highlights the possible role of stray dogs as an antibiotic resistance gene reservoir.

Abstract
Purpose The increasing multi-drug carbapenem resistance among Enterobacterales are a severe health problem limiting therapeutic options and worsen the prognosis. This study characterizes carbapenemase genes and integrons among uropathogenic carbapenem resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) isolates recovered from Mansoura University Hospitals and evaluates the effect of colistin, fosfomycin and meropenem-vaborbactam on these isolates. Patients and Methods A total of 200 Enterobacterales isolates were collected from patients with urinary tract infections. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by the disc diffusion method. Colistin susceptibility was tested using the broth microdilution method and fosfomycin and meropenem/vaborbactam susceptibility were tested by MIC Test Strips. Carbapenem resistant isolates were screened for carbapenemase activity phenotypically using the modified carbapenem inactivation method and EDTA-modified carbapenem inactivation method and genotypically by multiplex PCR. Integrons class 1 and 2 and fosA gene were assayed by PCR. Data were statistically analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 16. The Chi-square or Fisher’s exact test was used to compare groups, as appropriate. Results Ninety-two Enterobacterales isolates were resistant to meropenem (46%); 52 E. coli and 40 K. pneumoniae strains. All CRE isolates were multi-drug resistant (MDR). Sensitivity of CRE isolates to colistin, fosfomycin and meropenem/vaborbactam were 67.4%, 82.6% and 58.7%, respectively. Carbapenemase genes were detected by multiplex PCR in 69.6% of CRE isolates (Carbapenemase producing Enterobacterales (CPE) mainly blaNDM (37%). CPE isolates were significantly more resistant to meropenem/vaborbactam than non-CPE isolates; 51.6% vs 17.8%, respectively (P = 0.003) especially blaNDM carrying isolates (70.6%). Class 1 integrons and fosA gene were detected in 91.3% and 11.9% of CRE isolates, respectively. Conclusion This study revealed that about half of the uropathogenic Enterobacterales isolates were MDR CRE. Carbapenemase gene blaNDM was the main gene among CRE isolates. Meropenem/vaborbactam sensitivity was significantly higher on non-CPE than CPE isolates and limited by the predominance of blaNDM.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Antibiotic prescription is a challenging issue in critical care settings. Different pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties, polypharmacy, drug interactions, and high incidence of multidrug-resistant microorganisms in this population can influence the selection, safety, and efficacy of prescribed antibiotics. AREAS COVERED In the current article, we searched PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar for estimating renal function in acute kidney injury, nephrotoxicity of commonly used antibiotics, and nephrotoxin stewardship in intensive care units. EXPERT OPINION Early estimation of kidney function with an accurate method may be helpful to optimize antimicrobial treatment in critically ill patients. Different antibiotic dosing regimens may be required for patients with acute kidney injury. In many low-resource settings, therapeutic drug monitoring is not available for antibiotics. Acute kidney injury may influence treatment effectiveness and patient outcome.

Abstract
Performances of the colistin antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) systems of Acinetobacter baumannii vary depending on the manufacturer, and data on colistin-resistant A. baumannii are limited. We evaluated the VITEK2 and Sensititre systems to determine colistin resistance and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for A. baumannii isolated from a clinical microbiology laboratory. A total of 213 clinical A. baumannii isolates were tested, including 81 colistin-resistant A. baumannii. ASTs were performed using the VITEK2 and Sensititre systems according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Reference MICs for colistin were determined using the manual broth microdilution method (BMD). The results of the two AST methods were compared with the BMD results. VITEK2 and Sensititre systems showed category agreements of 95.3% and 99.1%, respectively. VITEK2 had a relatively high very major error (VME) rate (9.9%). Sensititre reported higher MICs than the reference method for the susceptible isolates and showed low essential agreement. In conclusion, the automated systems investigated in this study showed good category agreements for colistin AST of A. baumannii. However, VITEK2 had a high VME rate, and Sensititre had differences in MIC results. Colistin AST remains a challenging task in the clinical laboratory.

Abstract
Background Colistin is a polymyxin antibiotic which has been used for treatment of Gram-negative infections, but it was withdrawn due to its nephrotoxicity. However, colistin has gained its popularity in recent years due to the reemergence of multidrug resistant Gram-negative infections and drug-induced toxicity is considered as the main obstacle for using this valuable antibiotic. Results In total, 30 articles, including 29 animal studies and one clinical trial were included in this study. These compounds, including aged black garlic extract, albumin fragments, alpha lipoic acid, astaxanthin, baicalein, chrysin, cilastatin, colchicine, curcumin, cytochrome c, dexmedetomidine, gelofusine, grape seed proanthocyanidin extract, hesperidin, luteolin, lycopene, melatonin, methionine, N-acetylcysteine, silymarin, taurine, vitamin C, and vitamin E exhibited beneficial effects in most of the published works. Conclusions In this review, the authors have attempted to review the available literature on the use of several compounds for prevention or attenuation of colistin-induced nephrotoxicity. Most of the studied compounds were potent antioxidants, and it seems that using antioxidants concomitantly can have a protective effect during the colistin exposure.

Abstract
Nosocomial pneumonia caused by carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria (CRGNB) is a growing threat due to the limited therapeutic choices and high mortality rate. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic factors for mortality in patients with nosocomial pneumonia caused by CRGNB and the impact of colistin-based therapy on the outcomes of intensive care unit (ICU) patients. We conducted a retrospective study of the ICUs in five tertiary teaching hospitals in Taiwan. Patients with nosocomial pneumonia caused by CRGNB from January 2016 to December 2016 were included. Prognostic factors for mortality were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression. The influence of colistin-based therapy on mortality and clinical and microbiological outcomes were evaluated in subgroups using different severity stratification criteria. A total of 690 patients were enrolled in the study, with an in-hospital mortality of 46.1%. The most common CRGNB pathogens were Acinetobacter baumannii (78.7%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (13.0%). Significant predictors (odds ratio and 95% confidence interval) of mortality from multivariate analysis were a length of hospital stay (LOS) prior to pneumonia of longer than 9 days (2.18, 1.53-3.10), a sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score of more than 7 (2.36, 1.65-3.37), supportive care with vasopressor therapy (3.21, 2.26-4.56), and escalation of antimicrobial therapy (0.71, 0.50-0.99). There were no significant differences between the colistin-based therapy in the deceased and survival groups (42.1% vs. 42.7%, p = 0.873). In the subgroup analysis, patients with multiple organ involvement (> 2 organs) or higher SOFA score (> 7) receiving colistin-based therapy had better survival outcomes. Prolonged LOS prior to pneumonia onset, high SOFA score, vasopressor requirement, and timely escalation of antimicrobial therapy were predictors for mortality in critically ill patients with nosocomial CRGNB pneumonia. Colistin-based therapy was associated with better survival outcomes in subgroups of patients with a SOFA score of more than 7 and multiple organ involvement.

Abstract
While fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems are ubiquitous in various applications from cell biology to aerodynamics, they involve huge computational overhead. In this paper, we adopt a machine learning (ML)-based strategy to bypass the detailed FSI analysis that requires cumbersome simulations in solving the Navier-Stokes equations. To mimic the effect of fluid on an immersed beam, we have introduced dissipation into the beam model with time-varying forces acting on it. The forces in a discretized set-up have been decoupled via an appropriate linear algebraic operation, which generates the ground truth force/moment data for the ML analysis. The adopted ML technique, symbolic regression, generates computationally tractable functional forms to represent the force/moment with respect to space and time. These estimates are fed into the dissipative beam model to generate the immersed beam's deflections over time, which are in conformity with the detailed FSI solutions. Numerical results demonstrate that the ML-estimated continuous force and moment functions are able to accurately predict the beam deflections under different discretizations.

Abstract
Background The increasing prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (CR-GNB) represents a global healthcare crisis. This study explored the efficacy and safety of Polymyxin B (PMB)-based regimens and factors influencing their effectiveness. Methods Patients with CR-GNB infections treated with PMB for more than three days were enrolled in this retrospective study from 1st June 2018 to 30th April 2020. Data were collected on patient characteristics, bacterial culture, and drug-sensitivity test results; anti-infection treatment regimens, particularly details of PMB use; and adverse drug reactions. Clinical and microbiological efficacy, mortality, and safety of PMB-based regimens in CR-GNB infected patients were evaluated. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to assess factors influencing efficacy and mortality. Results A total of 373 CR-GNB strains were cultured from 268 patients. About 41.04% of patients used PMB loading dose of 1.01 (0.84–1.69) mg/kg. Maintenance dose was 0.85 (0.82–1.00) mg/kg q12h. The clinical efficacy rate was 36.57% (98/268), the total bacterial clearance rate of PMB was 39.42%, and the all-cause mortality rate was 33.96%. The adverse drug reaction rate was 19.58%, among which the incidence of renal toxicity was highest (8.21%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that clinical efficacy, bacterial clearance rate, and all-cause mortality were associated with patient-related facts, including mechanical ventilation use, underlying diseases (such as respiratory disease), the type and site of CR-GNB infection, and PMB administration timing and loading dose. Conclusion PMB is a relatively safe and effective antibiotic drug for treatment of critically ill patients with CR-GNB infection; however, PMB use should be subject to guidelines recommendations for early administration, loading administration, and adequate administration, which could help to improve the clinical efficacy, microbiological efficacy, and mortality.

Front Vet Sci 2021; 8:663820. [PMID: 34277753 PMCID: PMC8282896 DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2021.663820] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2021] [Accepted: 05/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
The gut microbiome plays important roles in maintaining host health, and inappropriate use of antibiotics can cause imbalance, which may contribute to serious disease. However, despite its promise, using metagenomic sequencing to explore the effects of colistin on gut microbiome composition in pig has not been reported. Herein, we evaluated the roles of colistin in gut microbiome modulation in pigs. Metagenomic analysis demonstrated that overall microbial diversity was higher in the colistin group compared with the control group. Antibiotic Resistance Genes Database analysis demonstrated that following colistin treatment, expression levels of tsnr, ant6ia, tetq, oleb, norm, ant3ia, and mexh were significantly upregulated, indicating that colistin may induce transformation of antibiotic resistance genes. Colistin also affected the microbiome distribution patterns at both genus and phylum levels. In addition, at the species level, colistin significantly reduced the abundance of Prevotella copri, Phascolarctobacterium succinatutens, and Prevotella stercorea and enhanced the abundance of Treponema succinifaciens and Acidaminococcus fermentans compared to the control group. Gene Ontology analysis demonstrated that following treatment with colistin, metabolic process, cellular process, and single-organism process were the dominant affected terms. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis showed that oxidative phosphorylation, protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum, various types of N-glycan biosynthesis, protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum, pathogenic Escherichia coli infection, and mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway–yeast were the dominant signaling pathways in the colistin group. Overall, our results suggested that colistin affects microbial diversity and may modulate gut microbiome composition in pig, potentially providing novel strategy or antibiotic rationalization pertinent to human and animal health.

A Chimeric Cationic Peptide Composed of Human β-Defensin 3 and Human β-Defensin 4 Exhibits Improved Antibacterial Activity and Salt Resistance. Front Microbiol 2021; 12:663151. [PMID: 34025617 PMCID: PMC8137984 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2021.663151] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2021] [Accepted: 04/14/2021] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Human beta-defensins (hBDs) play an important role in the host defense against various microbes, showing different levels of antibacterial activity and salt resistance in vitro. It is of interest to investigate whether can chimeric hBD analogs enhanced antibacterial activity and salt resistance. In this study, we designed a chimeric human defensin, named H4, by combining sequences of human beta-defensin-3 (hBD-3) and human beta-defensin-4 (hBD-4), then evaluated its antibacterial activity, salt resistance, and cytotoxic effects. The result showed that the antibacterial activity of H4 against most tested strains, including Klebsiella pneumonia, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphyloccocus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia, and Acinetobacter baumannii was significantly improved compared to that of hBD-3 and hBD-4. Notably, H4 exhibited significantly better antibacterial activity against multidrug resistant isolate A. baumannii MDR-ZJ06 than commonly used antibiotics. Chimeric H4 still showed more than 80% antibacterial activity at high salt concentration (150 μM), which proves its good salt tolerance. The cytotoxic effect assay showed that the toxicity of H4 to Hela, Vero, A549 cells and erythrocytes at a low dose (<10 μg/ml) was similar to that of hBD-3 and hBD-4. In conclusion, given its broad spectrum of antibacterial activity and high salt resistance, chimeric H4 could serve as a promising template for new therapeutic antimicrobial agents.
