Geno- and Phenotypic Characteristics of a Klebsiella pneumoniae ST20 Isolate with Unusual Colony Morphology. Microorganisms 2022; 10:microorganisms10102063. [PMID: 36296341 PMCID: PMC9606995 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms10102063] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2022] [Revised: 10/10/2022] [Accepted: 10/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a common member of the intestinal flora of vertebrates. In addition to opportunistic representatives, hypervirulent (hvKp) and antibiotic-resistant K. pneumoniae (ABR-Kp) occur. While ABR-Kp isolates often cause difficult-to-treat diseases due to limited therapeutic options, hvKp is a pathotype that can infect healthy individuals often leading to recurrent infection. Here, we investigated the clinical K. pneumoniae isolate PBIO3459 obtained from a blood sample, which showed an unusual colony morphology. By combining whole-genome and RNA sequencing with multiple in vitro and in vivo virulence-associated assays, we aimed to define the respective Klebsiella subtype and explore the unusual phenotypic appearance. We demonstrate that PBIO3459 belongs to sequence type (ST)20 and carries no acquired resistance genes, consistent with phenotypic susceptibility tests. In addition, the isolate showed low-level virulence, both at genetic and phenotypic levels. We thus suggest that PBIO3459 is an opportunistic (commensal) K. pneumoniae isolate. Genomic comparison of PBIO3459 with closely related ABR-Kp ST20 isolates revealed that they differed only in resistance genes. Finally, the unusual colony morphology was mainly associated with carbohydrate and amino acid transport and metabolism. In conclusion, our study reveals the characteristics of a Klebsiella sepsis isolate and suggests that opportunistic representatives likely acquire and accumulate antibiotic resistances that subsequently enable their emergence as ABR-Kp pathogens.

Abstract
This retrospective study aimed to clarify the interspecies differences in the clinical characteristics and risk factors of bloodstream infection (BSI) due to third-generation cephalosporin-resistant (3GC-R) Escherichia coli (EC) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC). KP BSI had more comorbidities and higher treatment failure rate than EC BSI. Non-alcoholic LC was a risk factor for treatment failure in EC, whereas it was not associated with KP. Risk factors for BSI due to 3GC-R strain were nosocomial infection in EC, and β-lactam/fluoroquinolone treatment ≤ 30 days in KP. These results could help predict outcomes of BSI and improve clinical practice.

Risk factors for colonization with multiple species of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing Enterobacterales: a case-case-control study. Antimicrob Resist Infect Control 2021; 10:153. [PMID: 34689820 PMCID: PMC8543947 DOI: 10.1186/s13756-021-01018-2] [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: 07/18/2021] [Accepted: 10/01/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Approximately 11% of patients colonized with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-PE) are colonized with more than one ESBL-producing species. We investigated risk factors associated with colonization with multiple ESBL-PE species. METHODS We performed a case-case-control study at the University Hospital Basel, Switzerland, including hospitalized patients colonized with ESBL-PE between 01/2008 and 12/2018. Patients colonized with multiple species of ESBL-PE during the same hospitalization were assigned to group 1. Group 2 consisted of patients with ESBL-PE and a newly acquired ESBL-PE-species identified during subsequent hospitalization. Controls (i.e., group 3) were patients with only one species of ESBL-PE identified over multiple hospitalizations. Controls were frequency-matched 3:1 to group 2 cases according to time-at-risk (i.e., days between ESBL-PE detection during first and subsequent hospitalizations) to standardize the duration of colonization. ESBL was identified with phenotypic assay and the presence of ESBL genes was confirmed by whole genome sequencing. RESULTS Among 1559 inpatients, 154 cases met eligibility criteria (67 in group 1, 22 in group 2, 65 in group 3). International travel within the previous 12 months (OR 12.57, 95% CI 3.48-45.45, p < 0.001) and antibiotic exposure within the previous 3 months (OR 2.96, 95% CI 1.37-6.41, p = 0.006) were independently associated with co-colonization with multiple ESBL-PE species. Admission from another acute-care facility was the only predictor of replacement of one ESBL-PE species with another during subsequent hospitalizations (OR 6.02, 95% CI 1.15-31.49, p = 0.003). CONCLUSION These findings point to strain-related factors being the main drivers of co-colonization with different ESBL-PE and may support stratification of infection prevention and control measures according to ESBL-PE species/strains.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae are pathogens of increasing importance in Canada and elsewhere in the world. The purpose of this study was to phenotypically and molecularly characterize ESBL-producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae clinical isolates obtained from patients attending Canadian hospitals over a 12 year period. METHODS Isolates were collected between January 2007 and December 2018 as part of an ongoing national surveillance study (CANWARD). ESBL production was confirmed using the CLSI (M100) phenotypic method. Susceptibility testing was carried out using custom broth microdilution panels, and all isolates underwent WGS. RESULTS In total, 671 E. coli and 141 K. pneumoniae were confirmed to be ESBL producers. The annual proportion of ESBL-producing isolates increased for both E. coli (from 3.3% in 2007 to 11.2% in 2018; P < 0.0001) and K. pneumoniae (from 1.3% in 2007 to 9.3% in 2018; P < 0.0001). The most frequent STs were ST131 for E. coli [62.4% (419/671) of isolates] and ST11 [7.8% (11/141)] and ST147 [7.8% (11/141)] for K. pneumoniae. Overall, 97.2% of ESBL-producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae isolates were MDR. blaCTX-M-15 predominated in both ESBL-producing E. coli (62.3% of isolates) and ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae (48.9% of isolates). CONCLUSIONS The proportion of ESBL-producing E. coli, especially ST131, and K. pneumoniae, especially ST11 and ST147, in Canada increased significantly from 2007 to 2018. Continued prospective surveillance of these evolving MDR and at times XDR pathogens is imperative.

Abstract
Background The burden of antimicrobial resistance is high in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. Among Swiss SOT recipients, we assessed temporal trends of ESBL-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E), identified risk factors for ESBL-E, and assessed the impact of resistance on patient outcome. Methods Data from the Swiss Transplant Cohort Study (STCS), a nationwide prospective cohort of SOT-recipients, were analysed. Temporal trends were described for ESBL-detection among Escherichia coli and non-Escherichia coli. In a nested case–control study, cases with ESBL-E infection were 1:1 matched (by time since transplantation, organ transplant, pathogen) to controls infected with non-ESBL-E. Factors associated with resistance and with unfavourable 30-day outcome (death, infection relapse, graft loss) were assessed. Results From 2012 to 2018, we identified 1′212 infection episodes caused by Enterobacterales in 1′074 patients, thereof 11.4% (138/1′212) caused by ESBL-E. The proportion of ESBL-production among Escherichia coli remained stable over time (p = 0.93) but increased for non-E. coli (p = 0.02) Enterobacterales. In the case–control study (n = 102), antibiotic pre-treatment was independently associated with ESBL-production (aOR = 2.6, 95%-CI: 1.0–6.8, p = 0.046). Unfavourable outcome occurred in 24/51 (47%) cases and 9/51 (18%) controls (p = 0.003). Appropriate empiric antibiotic therapy was the only modifiable factor associated with unfavourable outcome. Conclusions In Swiss SOT-recipients, proportion of infections with ESBL-producing non-E. coli Enterobacterales increased in recent years. Antibiotic pre-treatment represents a risk factor for ESBL-E. Improving appropriateness of empiric antibiotic treatment might be an important measure to reduce unfavourable outcome, which was observed in almost half of SOT-recipients with ESBL-E infections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Substantial scientific evidence shows that contamination of environmental surfaces in hospitals plays an important role in the transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). To date, studies have failed to identify the risk factors associated with environmental contamination. AIM To evaluate, compare, and identify factors associated with environmental contamination around carriers of different MDROs. METHODS This was a prospective cohort study from May 2018 to February 2020. A total of 125 patients were included, having been admitted to Avicenne Hospital and Hotel Dieu de France de Beyrouth Hospital who were faecal carriers of MDROs (extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-PE), carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE), vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE)). For each patient, quantification of MDRO in stool was undertaken, plus a qualitative evaluation of the presence of MDRO in six different environmental sites; and clinical data were collected. FINDINGS MDROs comprised ESBL-PE (34%), CPE (45%), and VRE (21%). The most frequent MDRO species was Escherichia coli. Contamination of at least one environmental site was observed for 22 (18%) patients. Only carriage of VanA was associated with a significantly higher risk of dissemination. Having a urinary catheter, carriage of OXA48 and E. coli were protective factors against environmental contamination. There were no significant differences in environmental contamination between E. coli and other Enterobacterales or between ESBL-PE and CPE. CONCLUSIONS Hospital environmental contamination rates are substantially higher for patients with VRE, compared to the low environment dissemination rates around ESBL-PE and CPE. Further studies on a larger scale are needed to confirm the validity of our findings.

Abstract
Background and purpose The clinical prognosis of Klebsiella pneumoniae(K. pneumoniae) bloodstream infection is poor, and the prevalence of drug-resistant bacteria makes clinical anti-infective treatment more challenging. This retrospective study evaluated the epidemiological characteristics of patients with K. pneumoniae, the risk factors for drug-resistant bacterial infection and death, and analyzed treatment options. Methods Clinical data of 297 patients diagnosed with K. pneumoniae bacteremia between June 2014 and June 2019 were collected. Results Intensive care unit hospitalization history, operation history, recent antibiotic use history, mechanical ventilation, and number of days hospitalized before bloodstream infection were found to be independent risk factors for drug-resistant bacterial infection. The risk of death for carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae infection was 2.942 times higher than that for carbapenem-sensitive K. pneumoniae infection. For extensively drug-resistant K. pneumoniae bacteremia patients, the mortality rate of combined anti-infective therapy was lower. Conclusions Clinicians should pay attention to patients with high-risk drug-resistant bacteria infection and administer timely anti-infection treatment. The findings of this study may provide some suggestions for early identification and standardized treatment of patients with K. pneumoniae bacteremia.

Risk factors of community-onset extended-spectrum β-lactamase Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteraemia: an 11-year population-based case-control-control study in Denmark. Clin Microbiol Infect 2020; 27:871-877. [PMID: 32781243 DOI: 10.1016/j.cmi.2020.08.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2020] [Revised: 07/27/2020] [Accepted: 08/03/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate and explore temporal changes in risk factors of community-onset extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteraemia in a region with low antibiotic resistance. METHODS Population-based case-control study including 223 cases hospitalized with a first-time community-onset ESBL-producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae bacteraemia, 2214 non-ESBL E. coli and K. pneumoniae bacteraemia controls, and 2228 population controls in the North Denmark Region between 2007 and 2017. We used a conditional logistic regression to compute crude and adjusted (age, gender and co-morbidity) odds ratios (aORs) and 95% CIs of risk factors and compared selected risk factors between 2007-2011 and 2016-2017. RESULTS Several conventional risk factors of ESBL E. coli or K. pneumoniae were identified compared with the population controls. Compared with the non-ESBL controls, use of fluoroquinolones (aOR 3.56, 95% CI 2.52-5.05), three or more admissions within the recent year (aOR 2.18, 95% CI 1.45-3.28), three or more antibiotic prescriptions within 15-365 days before the admission (aOR 2.18, 95% CI 1.53-3.10), male sex (aOR 2.01, 95% CI 1.50-2.69), admission within 1-91 days (aOR 1.84, 95% CI 1.37-2.48) and antibiotic within 15-91 days (aOR 1.82, 95% CI 1.37-2.42) inferred the highest risk. Assessment of temporal dynamics between 2007-2011 and 2016-2017 revealed a slight reduction in risk factors associated with direct health-care contact (e.g. hospital admission). CONCLUSIONS Recent and frequent hospitalization, and exposure to antibiotics, especially use of fluoroquinolones, appeared to be associated specifically with ESBL production, and focus and interventions should be directed towards these areas. Our results indicated a dissemination of ESBLs into the community.

Abstract
The rising burden of intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired infections due to extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) strengthens the requirement for efficient prevention strategies. The detection of intestinal carriage of ESBL-E through active surveillance cultures (ASC) and the implementation of contact precautions (CP) in carriers are currently advocated in most high-income countries, to prevent cross-transmission and subsequent ESBL-E infections in critically-ill patients. Yet, recent studies have challenged the benefit of ASC and CP in controlling the spread of ESBL-E in ICUs with high compliance to standard hygiene precautions and no ongoing outbreak of ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae or Enterobacter spp. Besides, given their debated performance to positively predict which patients are at risk of ESBL-E infections, ASC results appear of limited value to rationalize the empirical use of carbapenems in the ICU, emphasizing the urgent need for novel anticipatory and diagnostic approaches. This Viewpoint article summarizes the available evidence on these issues.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the prevalence, antimicrobial susceptibilities and molecular characteristics of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae infecting patients receiving care in Canadian hospitals from January 2007 to December 2016. METHODS Clinical isolates of E. coli (n = 8387) and K. pneumoniae (n = 2623) submitted to CANWARD, an ongoing Canadian national surveillance study, were tested using the CLSI reference broth microdilution method to determine their susceptibility to 15 antimicrobial agents. ESBL-producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae confirmed by the CLSI phenotypic method and putative AmpC-producing E. coli underwent PCR testing and DNA sequencing to identify resistance genes. Annual proportions of isolates harbouring ESBL and AmpC genes were assessed by the Cochran-Armitage test of trend. RESULTS The annual proportion of isolates of E. coli that were ESBL producing increased from 3.4% in 2007 to 11.1% in 2016 (P < 0.0001); >95% of ESBL-producing E. coli were susceptible to amikacin, colistin, ertapenem, meropenem and tigecycline. The proportion of isolates of K. pneumoniae that were ESBL producing increased from 1.3% in 2007 to 9.7% in 2016 (P < 0.0001); >95% of ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae were susceptible to amikacin and meropenem. CTX-M-15 was the predominant genotype in both ESBL-producing E. coli (64.2% of isolates) and ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae (51.0%). The annual proportion of isolates of E. coli that were AmpC producing [annual proportion mean 1.9% (range 0.3%-3.1%)] was unchanged from 2007 to 2016 (P > 0.5). CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of both ESBL-producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae increased significantly in Canada during the study period while the prevalence of AmpC-producing E. coli remained low and stable.

Abstract
Background Emergence and spread of β-lactamase resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae have posed a serious threat, especially in paediatric patients globally. The present study focuses on explore drug resistance profile and molecular characterization of carbapenemase and extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing K. pneumoniae isolated from paediatric patients in Shenzhen, China. Methods Present study, a total of 31 isolates of multi-drug resistant K. pneumoniae were collected from Shenzhen Children’s Hospital, China during Jan 2014 to December 2015. ESBLs production was confirmed by using the combination disc diffusion method followed by antimicrobial susceptibility. In addition, β-lactamase encoding genes were determined by PCR assay and sequencing. The genotypic diversity and phylogenetic relationship were determined by multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) method and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Results We examined 31, unique K. pneumoniae isolates collected from 2014 and 2015 in Shenzhen Children’s Hospital, China. All the 31 isolates 100% were resistant to ceftazidime, ertapenem, ampicillin, cefazolin and ampicillin-sulbactam followed by ceftriaxone 94% (n = 29), aztreonam 89% (n = 26), cefepime 84% (n = 26), nitrofurantoin 75% (n = 24), piperacillin 52% (n = 16), and levofloxacin 49% (n = 15). Of the 31 β-lactamase gene coding isolates, blaCTX-M was mainly detected in about 100% (n = 31), followed by blaKPC 71% (n = 22), blaSHV 61% (n = 19), blaNDM 25% (n = 8), blaCYM 13% (n = 4), blaOXA-48 9% (n = 3), blaGES 9% (n = 3) and blaTEM 6% (n = 2). Seventeen distinct sequences type were observed with ST20 being mostly identified 16% (n = 5). Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) typing showed that identical profile for the isolates recovered from the Department of Intensive Care Unit and Department of Neurology of our hospital. Plasmid replicon typing result indicates the presence of IncFIS type as highest in all isolates as 61% (n = 19), followed by IncFIB 23% (n = 7), IncFIA and IncFIC 16% (n = 5) each. Conclusion Our study reports the occurrence and spread of extended β-lactamase K. pneumoniae ST20 and ST2407 for the first time, in Shenzhen, particularly in paediatric patients. To prevent and control the infection by limiting the spread of infection-causing organisms it is very crucial to detect the presence of resistant genes at an early stage.

Is systematic fecal carriage screening of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae still useful in intensive care unit: a systematic review. CRITICAL CARE : THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE CRITICAL CARE FORUM 2019; 23:170.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) are disseminating worldwide leading to increased hospital length of stay and mortality in intensive care units (ICU). ESBL-E dissemination was first due to outbreaks in hospital settings which led to the implementation of systematic fecal carriage screening to improve hygiene procedures by contact precautions. ESBLs have since spread in the community, and the relevance of contact precautions is questioned. ESBL-E dissemination led to an overuse of carbapenems triggering the emergence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. Empirical antimicrobial therapy based on ESBL-E fecal carriage has been proposed but is debated as it could increase the consumption of carbapenems among ESBL-E carriers without any clinical benefit. Finally, selective decontamination among ESBL-E fecal carriers is evoked to decrease the risk for subsequent ESBL-E infection, but its efficacy remains debated. We propose to systematically review the evidence to recommend or not such systematic ESBL-E fecal carriage screening in adult ICU. METHODS Every article focusing on ESBL-E and ICU available on the MEDLINE database was assessed. Articles were included if focusing on cross-transmission, efficacy of hygiene procedures, link between ESBL-E colonization and infection or guidance of empirical therapy or selective decontamination efficacy. RESULTS Among 330 articles referenced on PubMed, 39 abstracts were selected for full-text assessment and 25 studies were included. Systematic screening of ESBL-E fecal carriage to guide contact precautions do not seem to decrease the rate of ESBL-E cross-transmission. It has a very good negative predictive value for subsequent ESBL-E infections but a positive predictive value between 40 and 50% and so does not help to spare carbapenems. Cessation of ESBL-E carriage systematic screening could decrease the use of carbapenems in ICU without any clinical harm. Nevertheless, further studies are needed to validate these results from monocentric before-after study. Selective decontamination strategy applied to ESBL-E fecal carriers could be helpful, but available data are conflicting. CONCLUSION Current knowledge lacks of high-quality evidence to strongly recommend in favor of or against a systematic ESBL-E fecal carriage screening policy for ICU patients in a non-outbreak situation. Further evaluation of selective decontamination or fecal microbiota transplantation among ESBL-E fecal carriers is needed.

Abstract
Antibiotic-resistance of hospital-acquired infections is a major public health issue. The worldwide emergence and diffusion of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae, including Escherichia coli (ESBL-EC) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (ESBL-KP), is of particular concern. Preventing their nosocomial spread requires understanding their transmission. Using Close Proximity Interactions (CPIs), measured by wearable sensors, and weekly ESBL-EC-and ESBL-KP-carriage data, we traced their possible transmission paths among 329 patients in a 200-bed long-term care facility over 4 months. Based on phenotypically defined resistance profiles to 12 antibiotics only, new bacterial acquisitions were tracked. Extending a previously proposed statistical method, the CPI network's ability to support observed incident-colonization episodes of ESBL-EC and ESBL-KP was tested. Finally, mathematical modeling based on our findings assessed the effect of several infection-control measures. A potential infector was identified in the CPI network for 80% (16/20) of ESBL-KP acquisition episodes. The lengths of CPI paths between ESBL-KP incident cases and their potential infectors were shorter than predicted by chance (P = 0.02), indicating that CPI-network relationships were consistent with dissemination. Potential ESBL-EC infectors were identified for 54% (19/35) of the acquisitions, with longer-than-expected lengths of CPI paths. These contrasting results yielded differing impacts of infection control scenarios, with contact reduction interventions proving less effective for ESBL-EC than for ESBL-KP. These results highlight the widely variable transmission patterns among ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae species. CPI networks supported ESBL-KP, but not ESBL-EC spread. These outcomes could help design more specific surveillance and control strategies to prevent in-hospital Enterobacteriaceae dissemination.

Abstract
Background The blaNDM-1 (New Delhi Metallo-β-lactamase-1) gene has disseminated around the globe. NDM-1 producers are found to co-harbour resistance genes against many antimicrobials, including fluoroquinolones. The spread of large plasmids, carrying both blaNDM and plasmid-mediated fluoroquinolone resistance (PMQR) markers, is one of the main reasons for the failure of these essential antimicrobials. Methods Enterobacteriaceae (n = 73) isolated from the blood of septicaemic neonates, admitted at a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in Kolkata, India, were identified followed by PFGE, antibiotic susceptibility testing and determination of MIC values for meropenem and ciprofloxacin. Metallo-β-lactamases and PMQRs were identified by PCR. NDM-positive isolates were studied for mutations in GyrA & ParC and for co-transmission of blaNDM and PMQR genes (aac(6′)-Ib-cr, qnrB, qnrS) through conjugation or transformation. Plasmid types, integrons, plasmid addiction systems, and genetic environment of the blaNDM gene in NDM-positive isolates and their transconjugants/ transformants were studied. Results Isolated Enterobacteriaceae comprised of Klebsiella pneumoniae (n = 55), Escherichia coli (n = 16), Enterobacter cloacae (n = 1) and Enterobacter aerogenes (n = 1). The rates of ciprofloxacin (90%) and meropenem (49%) non-susceptibility were high. NDM was the only metallo-β-lactamase found in this study. NDM-1 was the predominant metallo-β-lactamase but NDM-5, NDM-7, and NDM-15 were also found. There was no significant difference in ciprofloxacin non-susceptibility (97% vs 85%) and the prevalence of PMQRs (85% vs 77%) between NDM-positive and NDM-negative isolates. Among the PMQRs, aac(6′)-Ib-cr was predominant followed by qnrB1 and qnrS1. Twenty-nine isolates (40%) co-harboured PMQRs and blaNDM, of which 12 co-transferred PMQRs along with blaNDM in large plasmids of IncFIIK, IncA/C, and IncN types. Eighty-two percent of NDM-positive isolates possessed GyrA and/or ParC mutations. Plasmids carrying only blaNDM were of IncHIB-M type predominantly. Most of the isolates had ISAba125 in the upstream region of the blaNDM gene. Conclusion We hypothesize that the spread of PMQRs was independent of the spread of NDM-1 as their co-transfer was confirmed only in a few isolates. However, the co-occurrence of these genes poses a great threat to the treatment of neonates.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate risk factors for treatment failure in patients receiving in vitro-active therapy with β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor (BL/BLI) for Enterobacteriaceae bloodstream infection (E-BSI). This was a retrospective, single-centre study of patients diagnosed with E-BSI at an Italian centre over a 4-year period. Exclusion criteria were age <18 years, clinical data unavailable, polymicrobial BSI, failure to receive in vitro-active therapy and death within 72 h from drawing the index blood culture. Patients who received BL/BLI as appropriate empirical and/or definitive therapy for ≥50% of the total treatment duration were selected. The primary endpoint was all-cause 30-day mortality. The secondary endpoint was 90-day relapse. Of 1319 eligible patients, 835 were selected. A total of 714 received BL/BLI as appropriate empirical therapy, of whom 522 remained on BL/BLI as definitive therapy and 192 shifted to another antibiotic for <50% of the treatment duration; 121 received BL/BLI as definitive therapy only. Non-susceptibility to extended-spectrum cephalosporins (NS-ESCs) was detected in 207 episodes (24.8%). All-cause 30-day mortality was 6.8%. In multivariate analysis adjusted for NS-ESC, independent predictors of mortality were Charlson comorbidity index, septic shock, Proteus spp. and CVC-related BSI, whilst urinary source was a protective factor. The 90-day relapse rate was 4.2%. Immunosuppression was the main independent predictor for relapse. BL/BLI was the most common antibiotic administered to patients with E-BSI in this cohort. Among patients appropriately treated with BL/BLI, failure rates were low and were primarily associated with underlying diseases, clinical severity at BSI onset and infection source.

Abstract
Objectives To study the pathogenic bacterial profile and drug resistance in older patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in outpatients with fever, and provide evidence to diagnose and treat CAP timely and accurately. Methods We studied older (>60 years) patients with CAP in Beijing Shijitan Hospital from 2016 to 2017. Pathogenic bacteria from sputum of patients were isolated and identified and their resistance to antibiotics was tested. Risk factors for multidrug-resistant CAP (MDR-CAP) and clinical outcomes were analyzed. Results A total of 5563 outpatients with fever were recruited and 391 had CAP. A total of 117 isolates of pathogenic bacteria were obtained from 176 CAP cases. The main pathogenic bacteria were Klebsiella pneumoniae (27.4%), Escherichia coli (17.9%), Staphylococcus aureus (12.0%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (10.3%), and Streptococcus pneumoniae (9.4%). A drug sensitivity test (DST) showed that K. pneumoniae, E. coli, and P. aeruginosa had good sensitivity to imipenem, cefoperazone/sulbactam, piperacillin/tazobactam, and amikacin. Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae had strong sensitivity to vancomycin, linezolid, and levofloxacin. Previous multiple antibiotic treatment was an independent risk factor for MDR-CAP. Conclusions Gram-negative bacteria are the main pathogenic bacteria in older patients with CAP. Identification and DSTs of pathogens could enable accurate diagnosis and treatment of CAP.

Abstract
A predominance of the blaCTX-M-1/IncHI1 plasmid combination in horses has been reported in Czech-Republic, Denmark, and The Netherlands. To clarify a possible specific plasmid epidemiology of blaCTX-M-1 in horses in a European perspective, a collection of 74 extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli recovered from diseased horses in France and Sweden during the period 2009-2014 was investigated in respect of their genetic relatedness, plasmid content, and molecular features. Overall, 80% of E. coli isolates from diseased horses harbored blaCTX-M-1 on large IncHI1 plasmids with plasmid sequence type (pST) 2 and pST9 more prevalent in Sweden and France, respectively. In French isolates, IncI1/pST3 plasmids were also identified. The CTX-M-1-producing E. coli belonged principally to the clonal complex 10. ST641, together with its single locus variant, and ST1730 constituted two other major groups. The rep-PCR clustering highlighted a clonal dissemination of E. coli CTX-M-1 producers in different regions of the same country and during several years. The STs found in our isolates were also reported in The Netherlands, suggesting a common source of contamination in Europe, although only further cooperative investigation will clarify this issue. On the other hand, the spread of IncI1/pST3 plasmids among horses constitutes another worrisome issue considering their successful spread in other animal hosts such as chicken or bovines. Monitoring evolution and propagation of antimicrobial resistance in equine environment is a priority to avoid further propagation of antimicrobial resistance mechanisms threatening human and animal health.

Abstract
OBJECTIVETo compare the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and mortality of patients with bloodstream infections (BSI) caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-EC) versus ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (ESBL-KP) and to examine the differences in clinical characteristics and outcome between BSIs caused by isolates with CTX-M versus other ESBL genotypesMETHODSAs part of the INCREMENT project, 33 tertiary hospitals in 12 countries retrospectively collected data on adult patients diagnosed with ESBL-EC BSI or ESBL-KP BSI between 2004 and 2013. Risk factors for ESBL-EC versus ESBL-KP BSI and for 30-day mortality were examined by bivariate analysis followed by multivariable logistic regression.RESULTSThe study included 909 patients: 687 with ESBL-EC BSI and 222 with ESBL-KP BSI. ESBL genotype by polymerase chain reaction amplification of 286 isolates was available. ESBL-KP BSI was associated with intensive care unit admission, cardiovascular and neurological comorbidities, length of stay to bacteremia >14 days from admission, and a nonurinary source. Overall, 30-day mortality was significantly higher in patients with ESBL-KP BSI than ESBL-EC BSI (33.7% vs 17.4%; odds ratio, 1.64; P=.016). CTX-M was the most prevalent ESBL subtype identified (218 of 286 polymerase chain reaction-tested isolates, 76%). No differences in clinical characteristics or in mortality between CTX-M and non-CTX-M ESBLs were detected.CONCLUSIONSClinical characteristics and risk of mortality differ significantly between ESBL-EC and ESBL-KP BSI. Therefore, all ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae should not be considered a homogeneous group. No differences in outcomes between genotypes were detected.CLINICAL TRIALS IDENTIFIERClinicalTrials.gov.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the epidemiology and risk factors associated with community-onset urinary tract infections (CO-UTIs) due to extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (ESBL-Kp). A cohort study including all consecutive patients with K. pneumoniae CO-UTI identified from January 2010 to December 2014 was conducted. Patients with CO-UTI due to ESBL-Kp were then included as cases in a retrospective case-control-control study; controls were outpatients with CO-UTI caused by non-ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and K. pneumoniae (non-ESBL-Ec and non-ESBL-Kp, respectively). Each control was matched in a 2:1 ratio according to patient age, sex and year of isolation. Genotyping confirming ESBL was performed by multiplex PCR and sequencing. The prevalence of ESBL-Kp CO-UTIs, calculated among all K. pneumoniae CO-UTIs, increased from 2.4% in 2010 to 10.3% in 2014 (P = 0.01). Among cases, 63.8% were truly community-acquired, and CTX-M-15 was the predominant β-lactamase enzyme type (79.3%). A total of 83 cases and 319 controls were studied. Being a nursing home resident [odds ratio (OR) = 8.8, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.6-29.4] and previous cephalosporin use (OR = 4.01, 95% CI 1.8-9.2) were risk factors independently associated with CO-UTI due to ESBL-Kp. In conclusion, the prevalence of CO-UTIs due to ESBL-Kp is increasing. In most cases, ESBL-Kp CO-UTIs are community-acquired and produce CTX-M-15 β-lactamase. Exposure to cephalosporins and being a nursing home resident were risk factors associated with ESBL-Kp CO-UTIs. CTX-M-15-producing K. pneumoniae isolates are emerging in the community.

Antimicrob Resist Infect Control 2016; 5:57.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Asymptomatic carriage has been recognised as an important risk factor for infection caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria. A 14% global prevalence of Extended-Spectrum Beta-lactamase (ESBL) carriage was recently reported, but large intra-and interregional variations were observed. We investigated the faecal carriage rates of ESBL-, AmpC-producing and ciprofloxacin non-susceptible Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. in healthy Norwegians. METHODS Rectal samples were obtained from 284 volunteers, together with demographic data and information on recent travel history. The rectal samples were screened by selective plating and E. coli and Klebsiella spp. identified using MALDI-TOF. Phenotypic and molecular characterization of resistant isolates was also performed. RESULTS ESBL- or AmpC-producing E. coli and Klebsiella spp. were isolated from 4.9% and 3.2% of the study population, respectively. Carriage of ciprofloxacin non-susceptible isolates was detected in 9.9% of the volunteers. Molecular typing of ESBL/plasmid-mediated AmpC (pAmpC)-producing isolates suggested an allodemic situation rather than the dissemination of a specific clone in the Norwegian community. In concurrence with previous findings, travel to South-East Asia was associated with increased risk of carrying resistant E. coli or Klebsiella spp., highlighting the contribution of factors such as increased global mobility in erasing the boundaries between healthcare and community settings when it comes to spread of resistant bacteria. CONCLUSIONS Overall, our study recognised Norway as a low-incidence country for faecal carriage of resistant bacteria among healthy individuals. Furthermore, our work denoted the importance of healthy humans as a reservoir for transmission of antibiotic resistant E. coli and Klebsiella spp.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Observational studies have suggested that Escherichia coli sequence type (ST) 131 and Klebsiella pneumoniae ST258 have hyperendemic properties. This would be obvious from continuously high incidence and/or prevalence of carriage or infection with these bacteria in specific patient populations. Hyperendemicity could result from increased transmissibility, longer duration of infectiousness, and/or higher pathogenic potential as compared with other lineages of the same species. The aim of our research is to quantitatively estimate these critical parameters for E. coli ST131 and K. pneumoniae ST258, in order to investigate whether E. coli ST131 and K. pneumoniae ST258 are truly hyperendemic clones. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURES A systematic literature search was performed to assess the evidence of transmissibility, duration of infectiousness, and pathogenicity for E. coli ST131 and K. pneumoniae ST258. Meta-regression was performed to quantify these characteristics. RESULTS The systematic literature search yielded 639 articles, of which 19 data sources provided information on transmissibility (E. coli ST131 n=9; K. pneumoniae ST258 n=10)), 2 on duration of infectiousness (E. coli ST131 n=2), and 324 on pathogenicity (E. coli ST131 n=285; K. pneumoniae ST258 n=39). Available data on duration of carriage and on transmissibility were insufficient for quantitative assessment. In multivariable meta-regression E. coli isolates causing infection were associated with ST131, compared to isolates only causing colonisation, suggesting that E. coli ST131 can be considered more pathogenic than non-ST131 isolates. Date of isolation, location and resistance mechanism also influenced the prevalence of ST131. E. coli ST131 was 3.2 (95% CI 2.0 to 5.0) times more pathogenic than non-ST131. For K. pneumoniae ST258 there were not enough data for meta-regression assessing the influence of colonisation versus infection on ST258 prevalence. CONCLUSIONS With the currently available data, it cannot be confirmed nor rejected, that E. coli ST131 or K. pneumoniae ST258 are hyperendemic clones.

Abstract
Healthcare-related infections caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Klebsiella spp. are of major concern. To control transmission, deep understanding of the transmission mechanisms is needed. This systematic review aimed to identify risk factors and sources, clonal relatedness using molecular techniques, and the most effective control strategies for ESBL-producing Klebsiella spp. A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and Outbreak Database was performed. We identified 2771 articles from November 25th, 1960 until April 7th, 2014 of which 148 were included in the systematic review and 23 in a random-effects meta-analysis study. The random-effects meta-analyses showed that underlying disease or condition (odds ratio [OR] = 6.25; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.85 to 13.66) generated the highest pooled estimate. ESBL-producing Klebsiella spp. were spread through person-to-person contact and via sources in the environment; we identified both monoclonal and polyclonal presence. Multi-faceted interventions are needed to prevent transmission of ESBL-producing Klebsiella spp.

Abstract
Lemierre's syndrome is characterized by an oropharyngeal infection with internal jugular vein thrombosis followed by metastatic infections in other organs. This infection is usually caused by Fusobacterium spp. In this report, we present a rare case of Klebsiella pneumoniae-associated Lemierre's syndrome in a patient with poorly-controlled diabetes mellitus. The infection was complicated by septic emboli in many organs, which led to the patient's death, despite combined antibiotics, anticoagulant therapy, and surgical intervention. Therein, a literature review was performed for reported cases of Lemierre's syndrome caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae and the results are summarized here.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the molecular characteristics of extended-spectrum cephalosporin (ESC)-resistant Enterobacteriaceae collected during a cross-sectional study examining the prevalence and risk factors for faecal carriage of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae in humans living in areas with high or low broiler density. METHODS ESC-resistant Enterobacteriaceae were identified by combination disc-diffusion test. ESBL/AmpC/carbapenemase genes were analysed using PCR and sequencing. For E. coli, phylogenetic groups and MLST were determined. Plasmids were characterized by transformation and PCR-based replicon typing. Subtyping of plasmids was done by plasmid multilocus sequence typing. RESULTS 175 ESC-resistant Enterobacteriaceae were cultured from 165/1,033 individuals. The isolates were Escherichia coli(n=65), Citrobacter freundii (n=52), Enterobacter cloacae (n=38), Morganella morganii (n=5), Enterobacter aerogenes (n=4), Klebsiella pneumoniae (n=3), Hafnia alvei (n=2), Shigella spp. (n=2), Citrobacter amalonaticus (n=1), Escherichia hermannii (n=1), Kluyvera cryocrescens (n=1), and Pantoea agglomerans (n=1). The following ESBL genes were recovered in 55 isolates originating from 49 of 1,033 (4.7 %) persons: blaCTX-M-1 (n=17), blaCTX-M-15 (n=16), blaCTX-M-14 (n=9), blaCTX-M-2 (n=3), blaCTX-M-3 (n=2), blaCTX-M-24 (n=2), blaCTX-M-27 (n=1), blaCTX-M-32 (n=1), blaSHV-12 (n=2), blaSHV-65 (n=1) and blaTEM-52 (n=1). Plasmidic AmpC (pAmpC) genes were discovered in 6 out of 1,033 (0.6 %) persons. One person carried two different E. coli isolates, one with blaCTX-M-1 and the other with blaCMY-2 and therefore the prevalence of persons carrying Enterobacteriaceae harboring ESBL and/or pAmpC genes was 5.2 %. In eight E. coli isolates the AmpC phenotype was caused by mutations in the AmpC promoter region. No carbapenemase genes were identified. A large variety of E. coli genotypes was found, ST131 and ST10 being most common. CONCLUSIONS ESBL/pAmpC genes resembled those from patients in Dutch hospitals, indicating that healthy humans form a reservoir for transmission of these determinants to vulnerable people. The role of poultry in the transmission to humans in the community remains to be elucidated.
