Management of intra-abdominal infections: recommendations by the Italian council for the optimization of antimicrobial use. World J Emerg Surg 2024; 19:23. [PMID: 38851757 PMCID: PMC11162065 DOI: 10.1186/s13017-024-00551-w] [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: 03/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/01/2024] [Indexed: 06/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Intra-abdominal infections (IAIs) are common surgical emergencies and are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in hospital settings, particularly if poorly managed. The cornerstones of effective IAIs management include early diagnosis, adequate source control, appropriate antimicrobial therapy, and early physiologic stabilization using intravenous fluids and vasopressor agents in critically ill patients. Adequate empiric antimicrobial therapy in patients with IAIs is of paramount importance because inappropriate antimicrobial therapy is associated with poor outcomes. Optimizing antimicrobial prescriptions improves treatment effectiveness, increases patients' safety, and minimizes the risk of opportunistic infections (such as Clostridioides difficile) and antimicrobial resistance selection. The growing emergence of multi-drug resistant organisms has caused an impending crisis with alarming implications, especially regarding Gram-negative bacteria. The Multidisciplinary and Intersociety Italian Council for the Optimization of Antimicrobial Use promoted a consensus conference on the antimicrobial management of IAIs, including emergency medicine specialists, radiologists, surgeons, intensivists, infectious disease specialists, clinical pharmacologists, hospital pharmacists, microbiologists and public health specialists. Relevant clinical questions were constructed by the Organizational Committee in order to investigate the topic. The expert panel produced recommendation statements based on the best scientific evidence from PubMed and EMBASE Library and experts' opinions. The statements were planned and graded according to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) hierarchy of evidence. On November 10, 2023, the experts met in Mestre (Italy) to debate the statements. After the approval of the statements, the expert panel met via email and virtual meetings to prepare and revise the definitive document. This document represents the executive summary of the consensus conference and comprises three sections. The first section focuses on the general principles of diagnosis and treatment of IAIs. The second section provides twenty-three evidence-based recommendations for the antimicrobial therapy of IAIs. The third section presents eight clinical diagnostic-therapeutic pathways for the most common IAIs. The document has been endorsed by the Italian Society of Surgery.

Whole genome sequencing analysis of seven unknown resistance mechanisms of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains resistance to ceftazidime-avibactam. J Appl Microbiol 2024; 135:lxae135. [PMID: 38849309 DOI: 10.1093/jambio/lxae135] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2024] [Revised: 05/21/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024]
Abstract
AIMS To investigate alternative resistance mechanisms among seven ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA)-resistant carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) strains lacking common antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) using whole genome sequencing. METHODS AND RESULTS ARG and virulence factors (VFs) were screened using the ARG database CARD and the VF database, respectively, and identified using genomic annotation data with BLAST+. Six strains were ST11 sequence types (STs), and one was ST2123. ST11 strains harbored more ARGs than the ST2123 strains. All seven strains carried multiple ARGs with efflux-mediated antibiotic resistance, including oqxA, oqxB, tet (A), qacEdltal, CRP, H-NS, Kpn-E, F, G, H, acrA, LptD, acrB, acrD, cpxA, mdtB, and mdtC. These efflux-mediated ARGs were identified in most strains and even all strains. Whole genome sequencing revealed that the ST11 strain carried multiple potential prophages, genomic islands, and integrative and conjugative elements, while the ST2123 strain carried an independent potential prophages and a genomic island. CONCLUSIONS Whole genome sequencing analysis revealed that these seven CZA-resistant CRKP strains lacking common ARGs exhibited efflux-mediated antibiotic resistance-associated ARGs. The main mechanism by which CRKP resists CZA is antibiotic inactivation. Except for tet (A), no ARGs and validation experiments related to efflux were found. This study's results provide a new possibility for the resistance mechanism of CRKP to CZA, and we will verify this conclusion through experiments in the future.

Sun X, Zou X, Zhou B, Yin T, Wang P. Comparison of bloodstream and non-bloodstream infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in the intensive care unit: a 9-year respective study. Front Med (Lausanne) 2023; 10:1230721. [PMID: 37795412 PMCID: PMC10547144 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1230721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 10/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Bloodstream infections (BSIs) caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) have received much attention. However, few studies have identified risk factors for CRKP BSIs in comparison to CRKP non-bloodstream infections (non-BSIs). This study aimed to compare the epidemiology, risk factors, and outcomes of CRKP BSIs and CRKP non-BSIs. Methods We conducted a retrospective study of patients infected with CRKP in the ICU from January 2012 to December 2020. Clinical characteristics and outcomes were compared between CRKP BSIs and CRKP non-BSIs. Predictors associated with 28-day all-cause mortality in CRKP-infected patients were also evaluated. Results 326 patients infected with CRKP were enrolled, including 96 patients with CRKP BSIs and 230 with CRKP non-BSIs. The rates of CRKP BSIs in CRKP infections were generally raised from 2012 (12.50%) to 2020 (45.76%). Multivariate logistic analysis indicated that the use of carbapenems within the prior 90 days was an independent risk factor for CRKP BSIs (p = 0.019). Compared to CRKP non-BSIs, CRKP isolates in the CRKP BSI group were found to be non-susceptible to more tested carbapenems (p = 0.001). Moreover, the CRKP BSI group exhibited a higher mortality rate (p = 0.036). The non-susceptibility of CRKP isolates to more tested carbapenems (p = 0.025), a high SOFA score (p = 0.000), and the use of antifungal drugs within the prior 90 days (p = 0.018) were significant factors for 28-day all-cause mortality in CRKP-infected patients. Conclusion The proportion of CRKP BSI increased progressively in CRKP-infected patients over 9 years. The use of carbapenems within the prior 90 days was an independent risk factor for the development of CRKP BSIs. The non-susceptibility of CRKP isolates to more tested carbapenems and a higher mortality rate were found in the CRKP BSI group.
