[PMID: 35551638 PMCID: PMC9334480 DOI: 10.1007/s40121-022-00649-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2022] [Accepted: 04/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria, in particular carbapenem-resistant organisms (CRO), pose a great threat to liver transplant (LT) recipients. Understanding the risk factors for Gram-negative and CRO infections and the drug resistance of corresponding bacteria will help guide the prevention and treatment of these infections. Methods Data on the composition, distribution and drug resistance of Gram-negative bacteria and CRO among LT recipients were collected. The risk factors for Gram-negative and CRO infections were identified via univariate and multivariate analysis. Results A total of 45 episodes of Gram-negative infection, including 20 episodes of CRO infection, occurred in 19.9% (27/136) of LT recipients. Klebsiella pneumoniae was the dominant pathogenic bacteria (14/45; 31.1%). The most common site of infection was the abdominal cavity/bile duct (11/27; 40.7%). Eleven (8.1%) patients died within 2 months after LT, and two deaths were related to Gram-negative infection. Gram-negative bacteria were relatively sensitive to tigecycline and polymyxin B, with resistance of 26.7 and 11.1%, respectively. CRO had lower resistance to ceftazidime/avibactam (45.5%) and polymyxin B (10%). A univariate analysis showed that male sex, infection within 2 months prior to LT, duration of surgery ≥ 400 min, reoperation, indwelling urethral catheter use ≥ 3 days and elevated alanine aminotransferase on day 1 post-LT were associated with Gram-negative infection. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that infection within 2 months prior to LT [odds ratio (OR) = 4.426, 95%CI: 1.634–11.99, P = 0.003], duration of surgery ≥ 400 min [OR = 3.047, 95%CI: 1.194–7.773, P = 0.02] and indwelling urethral catheter use ≥ 3 days [OR = 5.728, 95%CI: 1.226–26.763, P = 0.026] were independent risk factors for Gram-negative infection after LT, and that only carbapenem use ≥ 3 days within 15 days prior to infection [OR = 14, 95%CI: 1.862–105.268, P = 0.01] was related to the occurrence of CRO infections. Conclusion The incidence of Gram-negative and CRO infections was high in the early post-LT period. The most common infection site was the abdominal cavity/bile duct, and the dominant pathogen was K. pneumoniae. Patients with infections within 2 months prior to LT, prolonged surgery time or delayed urethral catheter removal were prone to Gram-negative infection. Carbapenem exposure was correlated with CRO infections.

Abstract
Advances in surgical techniques and immunosuppressive agents have made solid organ transplant (Tx) an important strategy for treatment of end-stage organ failures. However, the incidence of infections following Tx due to Gram-negative pathogens is on the rise. These infections are associated with increased mortality and morbidity in patients following transplantation, including liver Tx. Thus, managing infections in liver Tx recipients is a big challenge, requiring prompt medical attention. Considering the important effect of Gram-negative bacterial infections on the outcomes of liver Tx recipients, the most prevalent Gram-negative pathogens including Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli will be discussed in this review.

Abstract
Background Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) have been a challenging concern of health-care associated infections. The aim of the current study was to investigate the molecular epidemiology and clonal dissemination of CRAB isolates in a Chinese teaching hospital. Methods Non-duplicate clinical A. baumannii isolates were collected from inpatients, and we measured the minimal inhibitory concentrations to determine antimicrobial susceptibility. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing were performed to detect carbapenem-resistance genes and occurrence of transposons among CRAB isolates. Moreover, the genetic diversity among isolates and clonal dissemination were determined by repetitive element PCR-mediated DNA fingerprinting (rep-PCR) and multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Results A total of 67 CRAB isolates displayed resistance to most of the antibiotics tested in this study, except tigecycline. We detected blaOXA-23, blaOXA-51, blaOXA-58, and blaVIM genes in 94.0%, 100.0%, 1.5%, and 80.6% of the CRAB isolates, respectively. Nevertheless, 74.6% of the CRAB isolates co-harbored the blaOXA-23 and blaVIM. Only one type of transposons was detected: Tn2008 (79.1%, 53/67). Although 12 distinctive types (A-L) were determined (primarily A type) ST195 was the most prevalent sequence type (ST). ST368, ST210, ST90, ST829, and ST136 were also detected, and all belonged to clonal complex 208 (CC208) and global complex 2 (GC2). Conclusion The blaOXA-23 and blaVIM genes contributed to the resistance among CRAB isolates collected in our study. Notably, most of the CRAB strains co-harbored blaOXA-23 and blaVIM genes, as well as Tn2008, which could contribute to clonal dissemination. The prevalence of such organisms may underlie hospital acquired infections.

Abstract
Background We aimed to investigate blood and urine cultures of donated after cardiac death (DCD) donors and report the cases of confirmed (proven/probable) transmission of bacterial or fungal infection from donors to kidney recipients. Material/Methods Seventy-eight DCD donors between 2010 and 2016 were included. Sixty-one DCD donors underwent blood cultures and 22 episodes of bacteremias developed in 18 donors. Forty-three donors underwent urine cultures and 14 donors experienced 17 episodes of urinary infections. Results Seven of 154 (4.5%) kidney recipients developed confirmed donor-derived bacterial or fungal infections. Inappropriate use of antibiotics in donor was a risk factor for donor-derived infection (p=0.048). The use of FK506 was more frequent in recipients without donor-derived infection than those with donor-derived infection (p=0.033). Recipients with donor-derived infection were associated with higher mortality and graft loss (42.9% and 28.6%, respectively), when compared with those without donor-derived infection (4.8% each). Three kidney recipients with donor-derived infection died; one death was due to multi-organ failure caused by Candida albicans, and two were related to rupture of the renal artery; two of them did not receive appropriate antimicrobial therapy after infection. Conclusions Our kidney recipients showed high occurrence rates of donor-derived infection. Recipients with donor-derived infection were associated with higher mortality and graft loss than those without donor-derived infection. The majority of recipients with donor-derived infection who died did not receive appropriate antimicrobial therapy after infection.

Abstract
Background Although multidrug-resistant (MDR) gram-negative bacteremia (GNB) has been recognized as an important cause of morbidity and mortality among abdominal solid organ transplant (ASOT) recipients, there are no data on its prognostic factors after an interim standard definition of MDR was proposed in 2012. The objective of this study was to describe the epidemiology, microbiology, and predictors of infection-related 30-day mortality in ASOT recipients with MDR GNB. Methods We performed a retrospective, double-center analysis of ASOT patients with MDR GNB over a 13-year study period. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify the risk factors for mortality. Results During the observational period, 2169 subjects underwent ASOT. Ninety-nine episodes of MDR GNB were diagnosed in 91 (4.6%) ASOT recipients, with a predominance of E.coli (29 isolates, 29.3%) and A.baumanii (24 isolates, 24.2%). The median age of these 91 recipients was 45 years (interquartile range 35–54). Mortality after the first episode of MDR GNB was 39.6% (36 deaths). The univariate analysis identified the following variables as predictors of MDR GNB-related mortality: lung focus (P = 0.001),nosocomial origin (P = 0.002), graft from donation after cardiac death or deceased donors (P = 0.023), presence of other concomitant bloodstream infection (P < 0.001), temperature of 40 °C or greater at the onset of MDR GNB (P = 0.039), creatinine > 1.5 mg/dl (P = 0.006), albumin < 30 g/L (P = 0.009), platelet count < 50,000/mm3 (P < 0.001), and septic shock (P < 0.001). In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, septic shock (odds ratio (OR) = 160.463, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 19.377–1328.832, P < .001), as well as creatinine > 1.5 mg/dl (OR = 24.498, 95% CI = 3.449–173.998, P = 0.001), nosocomial origin (OR = 23.963, 95% CI = 1.285–46.991, P = 0.033), and presence of other concomitant bloodstream infections (OR = 27.074, 95% CI = 3.937–186.210, P = 0.001) were the variables associated with MDR GNB-related 30-day mortality. Conclusions MDR GNB was associated with high morbidity and mortality in ASOT recipients, with a predominant causative organisms being E.coli and A.baumanii. Nosocomial origin, as well as presence of other concomitant bloodstream infections, increased creatinine level and septic shock were the main predictors of MDR GNB-related 30-day mortality.

Abstract
Background Multi-drug resistance (MDR) is the main cause of tumor failure to chemotherapy. This study aims to explore the influence of MDR1 methylation on curative effect of interventional embolism chemotherapy for cervical cancer. Methods Sixty-seven patients with cervical cancer receiving embolism chemotherapy were selected, and 45 normal cervical tissues were included as a control. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the level of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in cervical cancer, and to make an analysis compared with normal tissues. The methylation status of the MDR1 gene promoter region 16 CpG units was analyzed by using kilobase-specific cracking and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry. Results The results indicated that the positive expression rates of P-gp were 0% (0/45) in normal cervical tissue, and 61.19% (41/67) and 77.61% (52/67) before and after interventional embolism chemotherapy in cervical cancer tissues, respectively. There were significant differences compared with normal cervical tissues (χ2=4.2523, 0.0392). The positive expression rate of P-gp before chemotherapy was negatively correlated with efficacy of chemotherapy (r=−0.340, P=0.005). Methylation rate of 13 CpG units in normal tissues was significantly greater than cervical tissues (P<0.05). In cervical cancer tissue, methylation rate of six CpG units before interventional embolism chemotherapy was higher than after chemotherapy, but that of one CpG unit was lower than after chemotherapy (P<0.05). The methylation rate of one CpG unit with effective chemotherapy before chemotherapy was significantly higher than ineffective chemotherapy (P<0.05), and the other CpG units were similar (P>0.05). Conclusion P-gp expression level coded by MDR1, methylation status of partial MDR1 gene promoter regions CpG island, is closely related to the efficacy of interventional embolism chemotherapy for cervical cancer before the operation.

Abstract
Acinetobacter baumannii can cause a serious infection in solid-organ transplant (SOT) recipients, and more data on A. baumannii infection is needed. We sought to investigate the epidemiology and distribution of A. baumannii isolates in SOT recipients. We also investigated the risk factors for overall in-hospital mortality and infection-related 30-day mortality using multivariate logistic regression analysis. A double-center retrospective study of SOT recipients who were infected with A. baumannii between January 2003 and January 2015 was conducted. A total of 71 individuals developed 93 episodes of A. baumannii infection, with a mean age of 44.5 years (44.5±11.9 years). Ninety percent of recipients had nosocomial origin A. baumannii infection, with the bloodstream as the most common site of infection (32.4%). Septic shock developed in 23.9% (17 of 71) of all recipients with A. baumannii infection. Morbidity and mortality rates of A. baumannii infections were high in SOT recipients. The incidence rate of A. baumannii infection in SOT recipients was 3.9% (71 of 1,821). Overall in-hospital mortality and infection-related 30-day mortality were 53.5% (38 of 71) and 40.8% (29 of 71), respectively. Risk factors independently associated with overall in-hospital mortality were mechanical ventilation at onset of A. baumannii infection (odds ratio [OR] 6.29, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.48–26.85; P=0.013), liver or liver–kidney transplantation (OR 15.33, 95% CI 1.82–129.18; P=0.012), and late-onset A. baumannii infection (OR 7.61, 95% CI 1.07–54.36; P=0.043). A platelet count <50,000/mm3 (OR 12.76, 95% CI 1.28–126.81; P=0.030) and mechanical ventilation at onset of A. baumannii infection (OR 189.98, 95% CI 13.23–2,728.81; P<0.001) were identified as independent risk factors for infection-related 30-day mortality. In conclusion, the morbidity and mortality rates of A. baumannii infections were high in SOT recipients. Mechanical ventilation at onset of A. baumannii infection was associated with higher overall in-hospital mortality and infection-related mortality. For overall in-hospital mortality, liver or liver–kidney transplantation and late-onset A. baumannii infection, and for infection-related mortality, thrombocytopenia were also risk factors, respectively.
