Abstract

BACKGROUND

Antimicrobial Resistance, a global concern, worsened with the COVID-19 pandemic that caused a surge of critically ill patients, increased antimicrobial consumption, and the spread of infections with multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs (ASP) aim to optimize antimicrobial utilization to fight resistance. We aim to describe the ASP experience and to study antimicrobial consumption and MDRO rates among COVID-19 patients at a tertiary care center in Beirut.

METHODS

We compiled the ASP interventions, defined as ASP team recommendations, from January 2019 until December 2021. Data on antimicrobial consumption, expressed as a defined daily dose (DDD) per 100 patient days, was collected per quarter for all antimicrobials and restricted antimicrobials per ASP guidance. Our primary objective was to report on the ASP experience, and the secondary objective was to reflect on the rates of MDROs among hospitalized COVID-19 patients with respiratory or bloodstream bacterial co-infections between March 2020 and September 2021.

RESULTS

9922 ASP interventions were documented during this study period, with a noticeable correlation between COVID-19 surges in Lebanon and the number of ASP interventions. Acceptance rates for these recommendations improved over time, with a noticeable decrease in the proportion of interventions related to de-escalation and discontinuation of broad-spectrum antimicrobials. We noted an increase in all antimicrobial consumption after the onset of the pandemic, peaking in Q4 2020 (142.8 DDD of anti-infectives/100 patient days) and Q1 2021 (79.1 DDD of restricted anti-infectives/100 patient days). As expected, MDROs, particularly ESKAPE organisms (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae) accounted for 24% of isolates obtained from this cohort.

CONCLUSION

This study highlights the experience of the ASP as we adapted to the COVID-19 pandemic. The ASP team maintained its operations and continued to monitor antibiotic consumption and provide recommendations to limit antibiotic misuse in an effort to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on antimicrobial resistance.

Abstract

BACKGROUND

Acinetobacter baumannii is a major nosocomial pathogen capable of causing life-threatening infections. This bacterium is highly resistant to antibiotics and associated with high mortality rates. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate A. baumannii's susceptibility patterns to antimicrobials, assess the appropriateness of the initiated antimicrobial therapy, determine the mortality rate, and identify predictors associated with mortality.

METHODS

A retrospective observational study was conducted among patients infected with A. baumannii at a university hospital in Lebanon through the revision of medical records. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and log-rank tests were used to analyze time-to-mortality. Binary logistic regression was performed to identify predictors of mortality.

RESULTS

The records of 188 patients were screened, and 111 patients with A. baumannii infection were enrolled. Almost all isolates were resistant to carbapenem, and 43% of the isolates were extensively-drug resistant. Almost half of the patients received initial inappropriate antimicrobial therapy (n = 50, 45.1%). The 30-day mortality rate associated with A. baumannii infection was 71.2% (79/111). The time to mortality in patients who received inappropriate antimicrobial therapy (5.70 ± 1.07 days) was significantly shorter than in those who received appropriate antimicrobial therapy (12.43 ± 1.01 days, P < 0.01). Binary logistic regression revealed that inappropriate antimicrobial therapy (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 16.22, 95% CI 2.68-9.97, P = 0.002), mechanical ventilation (AOR = 14.72, 95% CI 3.27-6.61, P < 0.001), and thrombocytopenia (AOR = 8.82, 95% CI 1.12-9.75, P = 0.003) were more likely associated with mortality.

CONCLUSIONS

A. baumannii exhibits an alarming mortality rate among infected patients. Thrombocytopenia, mechanical ventilation, and inappropriate antibiotic administration are associated with mortality in patients infected with A. baumannii. The prompt initiation of appropriate antimicrobial therapy, infection control measures, and effective stewardship program are crucial to reduce the incidence of A. baumannii and improve the treatment outcomes.

Abstract

This work discloses a unique, comprehensive proteomic dataset of Acinetobacter baumannii strains, both resistant and non-resistant to polymyxin B, isolated in Brazil generated using Orbitrap Fusion Lumos. From nearly 4 million tandem mass spectra, the software DiagnoMass produced 240,685 quality-filtered mass spectral clusters, of which PatternLab for proteomics identified 44,553 peptides mapping to 3479 proteins. Crucially, DiagnoMass shortlisted 3550 and 1408 unique mass spectral clusters for the resistant and non-resistant strains, respectively, with only about a third with sequences (and PTMs) identified by PatternLab. Further open-search attempts via FragPipe yielded an additional ∼20% identifications, suggesting the remaining unidentified spectra likely arise from complex combinations of post-translational modifications and amino-acid substitutions. This highlights the untapped potential of the dataset for future discoveries, particularly given the importance of PTMs, which remain elusive to nucleotide sequencing approaches but are crucial for understanding biological mechanisms. Our innovative approach extends beyond the identifications that are typically subjected to the bias of a search engine; we discern which spectral clusters are differential and subject them to increased scrutiny, akin to spectral library matching by comparing captured spectra to themselves. Our analysis reveals adaptations in the resistant strain, including enhanced detoxification, altered protein synthesis, and metabolic adjustments. SIGNIFICANCE: We present comprehensive proteomic profiles of non-resistant and resistant Acinetobacter baumannii from Brazilian Hospitals strains, and highlight the presence of discriminative and yet unidentified mass spectral clusters. Our work emphasizes the importance of exploring this overlooked data, as it could hold the key to understanding the complex dynamics of antibiotic resistance. This approach not only informs antimicrobial stewardship efforts but also paves the way for the development of innovative diagnostic tools. Thus, our findings have profound implications for the field, as far as methods for providing a new perspective on diagnosing antibiotic resistance as well as classifying proteomes in general.
