[PMID: 38641225 DOI: 10.1016/j.jgar.2024.03.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2023] [Revised: 03/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/21/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The blaNDM gene was prevalent among children and became the predominant cause of severe infection in infants and children. This study aimed to investigate the epidemiology and molecular characteristics of blaNDM in Enterobacteriaceae among children in China. METHODS Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) were collected in the Children's Hospital of Fudan University from January 2016 to December 2022. Five carbapenemase genes (blaKPC, blaNDM, blaVIM, blaIMP, blaOXA-48) were screened by PCR method. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) was conducted for phylogenetic analyses. blaNDM-carrying plasmids were typed by PCR-based Incompatibility (Inc) typing method. Moreover, plasmid comparison was performed with 213 publicly available IncX3 plasmids. RESULTS A total of 330 CRE strains were enrolled, 96.4% of which carried carbapenemase genes. blaNDM gene accounted for 64.8% (214 strains) and included four variants, including blaNDM-1 (59.8%), blaNDM-5 (39.3%), blaNDM-7 (0.5%), and blaNDM-9 (0.5%). There were no predominant MLST lineages of blaNDM carrying strains. IncX3 was the major plasmid carrying blaNDM-1 (68.0%) and blaNDM-5 (72.6%) and was dominant in blaNDM-Klebsiella penumoniae (79.8%), blaNDM-Escherichia coli (58.2%), and blaNDM-Enterobacter cloacae (61.0%), respectively. Most (79.0%) clinical IncX3 plasmids in the world carried blaNDM, and the prevalence of blaNDM in IncX3 plasmids was more common in China (95.8%) than other countries (58.1%, P <0.01). CONCLUSION blaNDM is highly prevalent in CRE among children in China. The spread of blaNDM was mainly mediated by IncX3 plasmids. Surveillance and infection control on the spread of blaNDM among children are important.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The management of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) represents a major challenge in the field of infectious diseases. It is associated with a high rate of nosocomial infections with a mortality rate that reaches approximately 50%, even when using an effective antimicrobial therapy. Therefore, combined actions addressing infection control and antibiotic stewardship are required to delay the emergence of resistance. Since new antimicrobial agents targeting MDR-GNB bacteria have been produced during the last years and are now available for physicians to treat MDR, it is fundamental to choose appropriate antimicrobial therapy for K. pneumoniae infection. AREAS COVERED The PubMed database was searched to review the most significant recent literature on the topic, including data from articles coming from endemic areas and from the current European and American Guidelines. EXPERT OPINION We explore the most effective strategies for prevention of MDR-KP spread and the currently available treatment options, focusing on comparing old strategies and new compounds. We reviewed data concerning newly developed drugs that could play an important role in the future; we also propose a treatment algorithm that could be useful for physicians in daily clinical practice.

Abstract
SCOPE These ESCMID guidelines address the targeted antibiotic treatment of 3rd generation cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacterales (3GCephRE) and carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, focusing on the effectiveness of individual antibiotics and on combination vs. monotherapy. METHODS An expert panel was convened by ESCMID. A systematic review was performed including randomized controlled trials and observational studies, examining different antibiotic treatment regimens for the targeted treatment of infections caused by the 3GCephRE, carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE), carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) and carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumanni (CRAB). Treatments were classified as head-to-head comparisons between individual antibiotics and monotherapy vs. combination therapy regimens, including defined monotherapy and combination regimens only. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality, preferably at 30 days and secondary outcomes included clinical failure, microbiological failure, development of resistance, relapse/recurrence, adverse events and length of hospital stay. The last search of all databases was conducted in December 2019, followed by a focused search for relevant studies up until ECCMID 2021. Data were summarized narratively. The certainty of the evidence for each comparison between antibiotics and between monotherapy vs. combination therapy regimens was classified by the GRADE recommendations. The strength of the recommendations for or against treatments was classified as strong or conditional (weak). RECOMMENDATIONS The guideline panel reviewed the evidence per pathogen, preferably per site of infection, critically appraising the existing studies. Many of the comparisons were addressed in small observational studies at high risk of bias only. Notably, there was very little evidence on the effects of the new, recently approved, beta-lactam beta-lactamase inhibitors on infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Most recommendations are based on very-low and low certainty evidence. A high value was placed on antibiotic stewardship considerations in all recommendations, searching for carbapenem-sparing options for 3GCephRE and limiting the recommendations of the new antibiotics for severe infections, as defined by the sepsis-3 criteria. Research needs are addressed.

Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole as de-escalation in ventilator-associated pneumonia: a cohort study subanalysis. Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis 2021; 40:1511-1516. [PMID: 33625621 PMCID: PMC7902240 DOI: 10.1007/s10096-021-04184-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2020] [Accepted: 02/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Purpose This is a subanalysis of a previous study which compared the effectiveness of trimetoprim-sulfametoxazole (TMP-SMX) with all other regimens for treatment of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Aim of the current study was to focus on the effectiveness of a strategy based on TMP-SMX as de-escalation from β-lactam including regimens. Methods Retrospective cohort study including patients who were hospitalized for VAP from 2011 to 2019. Patients were distributed in two groups: NO SWITCH TO TMP-SMX group, including patients who received β-lactams for all treatment duration, and SWITCH TO TMP-SMX group, which included patients who switched to TMP-SMX from a β-lactam including regimen after microbiology diagnosis. Three clinical outcomes were analyzed: mortality at 30 days from the start of the antibiotic treatment (T30), mortality at the end of treatment (EoT), and acquisition of multidrug-resistant bacteria during hospitalization in intensive care unit. Results Overall, 70 patients were included in the current study, 32/70 (45.7%) in NO SWITCH TO TMP-SMX group and 38/70 (54.3%) in SWITCH TO TMP-SMX group, 37/70 (52.8%) had been already included in the previous study. No significant differences in clinical outcomes and patient’s characteristics were found when the two groups were compared. Conclusions De-escalation to TMP-SMX for VAP treatment was not associated with higher mortality at EoT and T30 than standard treatment with β-lactam. Monotherapy with TMP-SMX as de-escalation from broad-spectrum empirical regimens is a β-lactam sparing strategy worthy to be further investigated in either multicenter cohort studies or randomized clinical trials.

Abstract
In December 2019, the Antibacterial Resistance Leadership Group (ARLG) was awarded funding for another seven-year cycle to support a clinical research network on antibacterial resistance. ARLG 2.0 has three overarching research priorities: (1) infections caused by antibiotic resistant (AR) Gram-negative bacteria; (2) infections caused by AR Gram-positive bacteria, and (3) diagnostic tests to optimize use of antibiotics. To support the next generation of AR researchers, the ARLG offers three mentoring opportunities: the ARLG Fellowship, Early Stage Investigator Seed Grants, and the Trialists in Training Program. The purpose of this article is to update the scientific community on the progress made in the original funding period and to encourage submission of clinical research that addresses one or more of the research priority areas of ARLG 2.0.

Abstract
Infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) present an important therapeutic problem, as there are limited number of effective therapeutic alternatives available. In this study, phenotypic and genotypic methods were used to characterize carbapenemase-production and other resistance-determinants (AmpC and ESBL-production, efflux pump-overexpression) in 50 isolates (Klebsiella spp. n = 35, Escherichia coli n = 12 and Enterobacter cloacae complex n = 3) collected at the Albert Szent-Györgyi Clinical Center (University of Szeged) between 2014 and 2017. Minimum inhibitory concentrations of meropenem, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, tigecycline, amikacin, moxifloxacin, colistin and fosfomycin were also determined. 24% of isolates were AmpC-producers, while 30% carried blaCTX-M ESBL-genes. Carbapenemase-genes were detected in 18 (36%) of the tested isolates: in 2 isolates blaNDM, in 6 isolates blaOXA-48-like and in 12 isolates, blaVIM was detected by PCR. The species-distribution for isolates positive for carbapenemase-genes was the following: Klebsiella pneumoniae n = 11, Klebsiella oxytoca n = 1, E. coli n = 5, E. cloacae complex n = 1. Efflux pump-overexpression based on the PAβN-screening agar was shown in n = 3 of the tested strains. In nine isolates (18%), carbapenemase and ESBL-genes were detected simultaneously. Highest levels of resistance were noted for fosfomycin (74%) and moxifloxacin (70%), while all isolates were susceptible to colistin. Among applied phenotypic tests in this study the modified carbapenem inactivation method (mCIM) proved to be the most accurate one compared to that of PCR results.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are extremely common. Millions of people, particularly healthy women, are affected worldwide every year. One-in-two women will have a recurrence within 12-months of an initial UTI. Inadequate treatment risks worsening infection leading to acute pyelonephritis, bacteremia and sepsis. In an era of increasing antimicrobial resistance, it is critical to provide optimized antimicrobial treatment. AREAS COVERED Literature was searched using PubMed and Google Scholar (up to 06/2020), examining the etiology, diagnosis and oral antimicrobial therapy for uncomplicated UTIs, with emphasis on urinary antimicrobial pharmacokinetics (PK) and the application of dynamic in vitro models for the pharmacodynamic (PD) profiling of pathogen response. EXPERT OPINION The majority of antimicrobial agents included in international guidelines were developed decades ago without well-described dose-response relationships. Microbiology laboratories still apply standard diagnostic methodology that has essentially remained unchanged for decades. Furthermore, it is uncertain how relevant standard in vitro susceptibility is for predicting antimicrobial efficacy in urine. In order to optimize UTI treatments, clinicians must exploit the urine-specific PK of antimicrobial agents. Dynamic in vitro models are valuable tools to examine the PK/PD and urodynamic variables associated with UTIs, while informing uropathogen susceptibility reporting, optimized dosing schedules, clinical trials and treatment guidelines.

Abstract
The emergence of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) as a major cause of invasive infection both within the UK and internationally poses a very real concern for all providers of healthcare. The burden of morbidity and mortality associated with CPE infections is well described. The need for early, targeted, effective and safe antimicrobial therapy remains key for the management of these infected patients yet reliable antimicrobial treatment options remain scarce. In the absence of a universal treatment for these CPE invasive infections, individual treatment options tailored to susceptibilities and severity of infection are required. This working group from within the UK Clinical Pharmacy Association (UKCPA) Pharmacy Infection Network has developed evidence-based treatment recommendations to support infection specialists in managing these complex infections. A systematic review of peer-reviewed research was performed and analysed. We report consensus recommendations for the management of CPE-associated infections. The national expert panel makes therapeutic recommendations regarding the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of the drugs and pharmacokinetic targets, dosing, dosage adjustment and monitoring of parameters for novel and established antimicrobial therapies with CPE activity. This manuscript provides the infection specialist with pragmatic and evidence-based options for the management of CPE infections.

Abstract
Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae represent an increasing global threat worldwide and Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing K. pneumoniae (KPC-KP) has become one of the most important contemporary pathogens, especially in endemic areas. Risk stratification and rapid diagnostics laboratory workflows are of paramount importance and indication for therapy of KPC-KP infection must be individualized according to the baseline characteristics of the patient and severity of infection. The optimal treatment of infection because of KPC-KP organisms is uncertain and antibiotic options are limited. The knowledge of the patient's pathophysiology, infection site, and application of the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic principles on the basis of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) has progressively gained major relevance. Combination therapies including high-dose meropenem, colistin, fosfomycin, tigecycline, and aminoglycosides are widely used, with suboptimal results. In the past few years, new antimicrobials targeting KPC-KP have been developed and are now at various stages of clinical research. However, their optimal use should be guaranteed in the long term for delaying, as much as possible, the emergence of resistance. Strict infection control measures remain necessary. The aim of this review is to discuss the challenges in the management and treatment of patients with infections because KPC-KP and provide an expert opinion.

Abstract
We report on the genomic characterization of 47 multi-drug resistant, carbapenem resistant and ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae isolates from the influent (I) and effluent (E) of three wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and from Romanian hospital units which are discharging the wastewater in the sampled WWTPs. The K. pneumoniae whole genome sequences were analyzed for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), virulence genes and sequence types (STs) in order to compare their distribution in C, I and E samples. Both clinical and environmental samples harbored prevalent and widely distributed ESBL genes, i.e. blaSHV, blaOXA, blaTEM and blaCTX M. The most prevalent carbapenemase genes were blaNDM-1, blaOXA-48 and blaKPC-2. They were found in all types of isolates, while blaOXA-162, a rare blaOXA-48 variant, was found exclusively in water samples. A higher diversity of carbapenemases genes was seen in wastewater isolates. The aminoglycoside modifying enzymes (AME) genes found in all types of samples were aac(6’), ant(2'')Ia, aph(3'), aaD, aac(3) and aph(6). Quinolone resistance gene qnrS1 and the multi-drug resistance oqxA/B pump gene were found in all samples, while qnrD and qnrB were associated to aquatic isolates. The antiseptics resistance gene qacEdelta1 was found in all samples, while qacE was detected exclusively in the clinical ones. Trimethroprim-sulfamethoxazole (dfrA, sul1 and sul2), tetracyclines (tetA and tetD) and fosfomycin (fosA6, known to be located on a transpozon) resistance genes were found in all samples, while for choramphenicol and macrolides some ARGs were detected in all samples (catA1 and catB3 / mphA), while other (catA2, cmIA5 and aac(6’)Ib / mphE and msrE) only in wastewater samples. The rifampin resistance genes arr2 and 3 (both carried by class I integrons) were detected only in water samples. The highly prevalent ARGs preferentially associating with aquatic versus clinical samples could ascribe potential markers for the aquatic (blaSHV-145, qacEdelta1, sul1, aadA1, aadA2) and clinical (blaOXA-1, blaSHV-106,blaTEM-150, aac(3)Iia, dfrA14, oqxA10; oqxB17,catB3, tetD) reservoirs of AR. Moreover, some ARGs (oqxA10; blaSHV-145; blaSHV-100, aac(6')Il, aph(3')VI, armA, arr2, cmlA5, blaCMY-4, mphE, msrE, oqxB13, blaOXA-10) showing decreased prevalence in influent versus effluent wastewater samples could be used as markers for the efficiency of the WWTPs in eliminating AR bacteria and ARGs. The highest number of virulence genes (75) was recorded for the I samples, while for E and C samples it was reduced to half. The most prevalent belong to three functional groups: adherence (fim genes), iron acquisition (ent, fep, fyu, irp and ybt genes) and the secretion system (omp genes). However, none of the genes associated with hypervirulent K. pneumoniae have been found. A total of 14 STs were identified. The most prevalent clones were ST101, ST219 in clinical samples and ST258, ST395 in aquatic isolates. These STs were also the most frequently associated with integrons. ST45 and ST485 were exclusively associated with I samples, ST11, ST35, ST364 with E and ST1564 with C samples. The less frequent ST17 and ST307 aquatic isolates harbored blaOXA-162, which was co-expressed in our strains with blaCTX-M-15 and blaOXA-1.
