A comprehensive evaluation of risk factors for mortality, infection and colonization associated with CRGNB in adult solid organ transplant recipients: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Ann Med 2024; 56:2314236. [PMID: 38442299 PMCID: PMC10916923 DOI: 10.1080/07853890.2024.2314236] [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: 12/03/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 03/07/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The burden of carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria (CRGNB) among solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients has not been systematically explored. Here, we discern the risk factors associated with CRGNB infection and colonization in SOT recipients. METHODS This study included observational studies conducted among CRGNB-infected SOT patients, which reported risk factors associated with mortality, infection or colonization. Relevant records will be searched in PubMed, Embase and Web of Science for the period from the time of database construction to 1 March 2023. RESULTS A total of 23 studies with 13,511 participants were included, enabling the assessment of 27 potential risk factors. The pooled prevalence of 1-year mortality among SOT recipients with CRGNB was 44.5%. Prolonged mechanical ventilation, combined transplantation, reoperation and pre-transplantation CRGNB colonization are salient contributors to the occurrence of CRGNB infections in SOT recipients. Renal replacement therapy, post-LT CRGNB colonization, pre-LT liver disease and model for end-stage liver disease score increased the risk of infection. Re-transplantation, carbapenem use before transplantation and ureteral stent utilization increaesd risk of CRGNB colonization. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated that SOT recipients with CRGNB infections had a higher mortality risk. Invasive procedure may be the main factor contribute to CRGNB infection.

Abstract
Solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients are particularly susceptible to infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) and are often the first to be affected by an emerging resistant pathogen. Unfortunately, their prevalence and impact on morbidity and mortality according to the type of graft is not systematically reported from high-as well as from low and middle-income countries (HIC and LMIC). Thus, epidemiology on MDRO in SOT recipients could be subjected to reporting bias. In addition, screening practices and diagnostic resources may vary between countries, as well as the availability of new drugs. In this review, we aimed to depict the burden of main Gram-negative MDRO in SOT patients across HIC and LMIC and to provide an overview of current diagnostic and therapeutic resources.

The impact of colonization by multidrug resistant bacteria on graft survival, risk of infection, and mortality in recipients of solid organ transplant: systematic review and meta-analysis. Clin Microbiol Infect 2024:S1198-743X(24)00167-8. [PMID: 38608872 DOI: 10.1016/j.cmi.2024.03.036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 03/14/2024] [Accepted: 03/31/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Global increase in colonization by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria poses a significant concern. The precise impact of MDR colonization in solid organ transplant recipients (SOTR) remains not well established. OBJECTIVES To assess the impact of MDR colonization on SOTR's mortality, infection, or graft loss. METHODS AND DATA SOURCES Data from PROSPERO, OVID Medline, OVID EMBASE, Wiley Cochrane Library, ProQuest Dissertations, Theses Global, and SCOPUS were systematically reviewed, spanning from inception until 20 March 2023. The study protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42022290011) and followed the PRISMA guidelines. STUDY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA, PARTICIPANTS, INTERVENTIONS, AND ASSESSMENT OF RISK OF BIAS: Cohorts and case-control studies that reported on adult SOTR colonized by Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) or carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. (CRE), or MDR-pseudomonas, and compared to noncolonized, were included. Two reviewers assessed eligibility, conducted a risk of bias evaluation using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, and rated certainty of evidence using the GRADE approach. METHODS OF DATA SYNTHESIS We employed RevMan for a meta-analysis, using random-effects models to compute pooled odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Statistical heterogeneity was determined using the I2 statistic. RESULTS 15,202 SOTR (33 cohort, six case-control studies) were included, where liver transplant and VRE colonization (25 and 14 studies) were predominant. MDR colonization significantly increased posttransplant 1-year mortality (OR, 2.35; 95% CI, 1.63-3.38) and mixed infections (OR, 10.74; 95% CI, 7.56-12.26) across transplant types (p < 0.001 and I2 = 58%), but no detected impact on graft loss (p 0.41, I2 = 0). Subgroup analysis indicated a higher association between CRE or ESBL colonization with outcomes (CRE: death OR, 3.94; mixed infections OR, 24.8; ESBL: mixed infections OR, 10.3; no mortality data) compared to MRSA (Death: OR, 2.25; mixed infection: OR, 7.75) or VRE colonization (Death: p 0.20, mixed infections: OR, 5.71). CONCLUSIONS MDR colonization in SOTR, particularly CRE, is associated with increased mortality. Despite the low certainty of the evidence, actions to prevent MDR colonization in transplant candidates are warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cirrhotic patients are highly exposed to healthcare services and antibiotics. Although pre-liver transplantation (LT) infections are directly related to the worsening of liver function, the impact of these infections on LT outcomes is still unclear. This study aimed to identify the effect of multidrug-resistant microorganism (MDRO) infections before LT on survival after LT. METHODS Retrospective study that included patients who underwent LT between 2010 and 2019. Variables analyzed were related to patients' comorbidities, underlying diseases, time on the waiting list, antibiotic use, LT surgery, and occurrences post-LT. Multivariate analyses were performed using logistic regression, and Cox regression for survival analysis. RESULTS A total of 865 patients were included; 351 infections were identified in 259 (30%) patients, of whom 75 (29%) had ≥1 pre-LT MDRO infection. The most common infection was spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (34%). The agent was identified in 249(71%), 53(15%) were polymicrobial. The most common microorganism was Klebsiella pneumoniae (18%); the most common MDRO was ESBL-producing Enterobacterales (16%), and carbapenem-resistant (CR) Enterobacterales (10%). Factors associated with MDRO infections before LT were previous use of therapeutic cephalosporin (p = .001) and fluoroquinolone (p = .001), SBP prophylaxis (p = .03), ACLF before LT (p = .03), and days of hospital stay pre-LT (p < .001); HCC diagnosis was protective (p = .01). Factors associated with 90-day mortality after LT were higher MELD on inclusion to the waiting list (p = .02), pre-LT MDRO infection (p = .04), dialysis after LT (p < .001), prolonged duration of LT surgery (p < .001), post-LT CR-Gram-negative bacteria infection (p < .001), and early retransplantation (p = .004). CONCLUSION MDRO infections before LT have an important impact on survival after LT.

Abstract
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) remain a significant public health threat, and, despite recent approvals, new antibiotics are needed. Severe infections caused by CRE, such as nosocomial pneumonia and bloodstream infections, are associated with a relatively high risk of morbidity and mortality. The recent approval of ceftazidime-avibactam, imipenem-relebactam, meropenem-vaborbactam, plazomicin, eravacycline and cefiderocol has broadened the armamentarium for the treatment of patients with CRE infections. Cefiderocol is a siderophore cephalosporin with overall potent in vitro activity against CRE. It is taken up via iron transport channels through active transport, with some entry into bacteria through traditional porin channels. Cefiderocol is relatively stable against hydrolysis by most serine- and metallo-beta-lactamases, including KPC, NDM, VIM, IMP and OXA carbapenemases-the most frequent carbapenemases detected in CRE. The efficacy and safety of cefiderocol has been demonstrated in three randomised, prospective, parallel group or controlled clinical studies in patients at risk of being infected by multidrug-resistant or carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. This paper reviews the in vitro activity, emergence of resistance, preclinical effectiveness, and clinical experience for cefiderocol, and its role in the management of patients with CRE infections.

[PMID: 37063937 PMCID: PMC10103785 DOI: 10.2147/idr.s403135] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2022] [Accepted: 03/23/2023] [Indexed: 04/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and Objective An increasing number of cases of neonatal sepsis due to extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing multi-drug resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli (E. coli) have been reported worldwide. The aim of this study was to explore the risk factors associated with ESBL-producing MDR E. coli among neonates with culture-confirmed E. coli sepsis and thereby to help selection of appropriate empirical antibiotics. Patients and Methods All newborn infants with a confirmed pathogen isolated from blood or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from 2016 to 2021 were identified and those with E. coli infection were included in this analysis. We compared a group of neonatal patients with ESBL-producing MDR E. coli sepsis (n=69) to a group with ESBL-negative E. coli (n=70) based on antimicrobial susceptibility reports. We used multivariable regression analysis to determine the risk factors associated with ESBL-producing MDR E. coli strains among the neonates with culture-confirmed E. coli sepsis. Results ESBL-producing MDR E. coli sepsis was more common in premature infants and newborns with hospital-acquired late-onset sepsis (HALOS). The mortality rate of neonatal sepsis caused by ESBL-producing E. coli was about twice as that of sepsis caused by ESBL-negative E. coli. Antepartum exposure to cephalosporins (OR=25.191, 95% CI: 3.184-199.326, P<0.01) and parenteral nutrition for more than 1 week (OR=4.495, 95% CI: 2.009-10.055, P<0.01) were independent risk factors for neonatal infection with ESBL-producing stains among infants with E. coli sepsis. Conclusion E. coli remains the most common Gram-negative bacterial pathogen causing neonatal sepsis. A higher proportion of ESBL-producing MDR E. coli is seen in premature infants and those newborns with HALOS and is associated with higher mortality. Antepartum use of cephalosporins and prolonged use of parenteral nutrition may be important factors to consider in the selection of empirical antibiotics for use in neonatal sepsis caused by gram-negative rods prior to the availability of the results of antimicrobial susceptibility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical outcomes associated with, and risk factors for, carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) bloodstream infections (BSIs) in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients remain ill-defined. METHODS A multicenter retrospective cohort study was performed, including SOT recipients with an Enterobacterales BSI between 2005 and 2018. Exposed subjects were those with a CRE BSI. Unexposed subjects were those with a non-CRE BSI. A multivariable survival analysis was performed to determine the association between CRE BSI and risk of all-cause mortality within 60 d. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to determine independent risk factors for CRE BSI. RESULTS Of 897 cases of Enterobacterales BSI in SOT recipients, 70 (8%) were due to CRE. On multivariable analysis, CRE BSI was associated with a significantly increased hazard of all-cause mortality (adjusted hazard ratio, 2.85; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.68-4.84; P < 0.001). Independent risk factors for CRE BSI included prior CRE colonization or infection (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 9.86; 95% CI, 4.88-19.93; P < 0.001)' liver transplantation (aOR, 2.64; 95% CI, 1.23-5.65; P = 0.012)' lung transplantation (aOR, 3.76; 95% CI, 1.40-10.09; P = 0.009)' and exposure to a third-generation cephalosporin (aOR, 2.21; 95% CI, 1.17-4.17; P = 0.015) or carbapenem (aOR, 2.80; 95% CI, 1.54-5.10; P = 0.001) in the prior 6 months. CONCLUSIONS CRE BSI is associated with significantly worse outcomes than more antibiotic-susceptible Enterobacterales BSI in SOT recipients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) are prevalent in transplant recipients and associated with poor outcomes. We review recent cases of phage therapy used to treat recalcitrant infections in transplant recipients and explore the future role of such therapy in this setting. RECENT FINDINGS Individual case reports and small case series suggest possible efficacy of phage therapy for the treatment of MDRO infections in pre and posttransplant patients. Importantly, there have been no serious safety concerns in the reported cases that we reviewed. There are no applicable randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to better guide phage therapy at this time. SUMMARY Given the safety and possibility of successful salvage therapy of MDRO infections using bacteriophages, it is reasonable to pursue phage therapy for difficult-to-treat infections on a compassionate use basis, but RCT data are critically needed to better inform management.

Extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales bloodstream infection after solid organ transplantation: Recent trends in epidemiology and therapeutic approaches. Transpl Infect Dis 2022; 24:e13881. [PMID: 35691028 PMCID: PMC9540422 DOI: 10.1111/tid.13881] [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: 02/03/2022] [Revised: 04/08/2022] [Accepted: 05/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
Background Infections caused by multidrug‐resistant gram‐negative bacilli (MDR GNB), in particular extended‐spectrum β‐lactamase‐producing (ESBL‐E) and carbapenem‐resistant Enterobacterales (CRE), pose a major threat in solid organ transplantation (SOT). Outcome prediction and therapy are challenging due to the scarcity of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) or well‐designed observational studies focused on this population. Methods Narrative review with a focus on the contributions provided by the ongoing multinational INCREMENT‐SOT consortium (ClinicalTrials identifier NCT02852902) in the fields of epidemiology and clinical management. Results The Spanish Society of Transplantation (SET), the Group for Study of Infection in Transplantation of the Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology (GESITRA‐SEIMC), and the Spanish Network for Research in Infectious Diseases (REIPI) recently published their recommendations for the management of MDR GNB infections in SOT recipients. We revisit the SET/GESITRA‐SEIMC/REIPI document taking into consideration new evidence that emerged on the molecular epidemiology, prognostic stratification, and treatment of post‐transplant ESBL‐E and CRE infections. Results derived from the INCREMENT‐SOT consortium may support the therapeutic approach to post‐transplant bloodstream infection (BSI). The initiatives devoted to sparing the use of carbapenems in low‐risk ESBL‐E BSI or to repurposing existing non‐β‐lactam antibiotics for CRE in both non‐transplant and transplant patients are reviewed, as well as the eventual positioning in the specific SOT setting of recently approved antibiotics. Conclusion Due to the clinical complexity and relative rarity of ESBL‐E and CRE infections in SOT recipients, multinational cooperative efforts such as the INCREMENT‐SOT Project should be encouraged. In addition, RCTs focused on post‐transplant serious infection remain urgently needed.

Performance of two methods of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales surveillance on a kidney transplant ward: selective culture of and real-time PCR directly from rectal swabs. Infection 2022; 50:1525-1533. [PMID: 35534755 DOI: 10.1007/s15010-022-01839-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2022] [Accepted: 04/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Infection with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) is associated with a high mortality rate in kidney transplant recipients, and colonization with CRE is one of the major risk factors for CRE infection. There is, therefore, a need to improve the capacity to detect colonization with CRE among inpatients. METHODS In this prospective study, we compared the performance of real-time PCR for carbapenemase directly from rectal swabs with that of conventional CRE surveillance culture in all patients admitted to a kidney transplant ward between February 2019 and March 2020. Surveillance culture and real-time PCR were performed at admission and weekly until hospital discharge. Two perineum-rectal swabs were collected: one for culture and one for PCR. RESULTS We collected 905 paired samples for CRE surveillance from 399 patients, of whom 347 (87.0%) were kidney transplant recipients and 52 were waiting list patients. CRE was detected by culture and/or PCR in 75 patients (18.8%). Positivity for CRE was identified by PCR in 62 (15.5%) of the 399 patients and by culture in 55 (13.8%); 20 (5.0%) of the patients tested positive only on PCR, and 13 (3.3%) tested positive only on culture. The most common carbapenemase and species were, respectively, blaKPC (in 85.5%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (in 80.0%). Infection with CRE occurred in 21.6% of the colonized patients, those cases occurred only among kidney transplant recipients. None of the patients who tested negative on culture developed CRE infection. CONCLUSION In conclusion, the two methods are complementary and could be useful in a scenario of high CRE prevalence.
