Abstract
A groundbreaking approach has been developed for synthesizing 2,4-disubstituted thiazoles using an eco-friendly and metal-free approach. This novel method utilizes methyl aryl ketones, N-bromo-succinimide (NBS), and thioamides in water as a green reaction medium under visible light irradiation. Using NBS as a bromine source, the reaction takes place through an in situ α-bromination method. This approach does not require any catalyst, which makes it exceptionally beneficial for the environment. The advantages of this efficient approach are manifold and include the use of greener conditions, absence of metals, easy isolation of products, cost-effectiveness, non-toxicity, and reliance on renewable energy sources like visible light. Moreover, this technique offers higher product purity and excellent yield, enhancing itsappeal.

Evaluation of predictors of third-generation cephalosporin non-susceptibility and factors affecting recurrence or death in bacteremia caused by Citrobacter freundii complex , Enterobacter cloacae complex, and Klebsiella aerogenes. J Chemother 2024:1-11.

Abstract
Factors involved in the susceptibility of third-generation cephalosporins (3GCs) to bacteremia caused by Citrobacter freundii complex, Enterobacter cloacae complex, and Klebsiella aerogenes were investigated based on a case-case-control design. Antimicrobial therapy administered 30 days prior to bacteremia and hospitalization within 90 days were common risk factors for the 3GC susceptible and 3GC non-susceptible groups, while hospitalization from an institution or another hospital was a specific risk factor for the 3GC non-susceptible group. We also attempted to examine the factors affecting the clinical outcome of bacteremia. Hospitalization more than 14 days before the onset of bacteremia was an independent factor indicating poor clinical outcome. In contrast, the implementation of source control was an independent predictor of successful treatment. Although a longer hospital stay before the onset of bacteremia was associated with worse clinical outcomes, implementation of source control may have contributed to improved treatment outcomes for bacteremia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The incidence of Serratia endocarditis is increasing, yet optimal treatment has not been defined. Our objective was to investigate the outcomes of patients with Serratia endocarditis by treatment strategy. METHODS We reviewed adult patients with definitive Serratia endocarditis at two independent health systems between July 2001 and April 2023. Combination therapy was defined as receipt of ≥2 in vitro active agents for ≥72 h. RESULTS Seventy-five patients were included; 64% (48/75) were male and 85% (64/75) were people who inject drugs. Compared with monotherapy, receipt of combination therapy was associated with lower rates of microbiological failure (0% versus 15%, P = 0.026) and 90 day all-cause mortality (11% versus 31%, P = 0.049). Antimicrobial discontinuation due to an adverse event was more common among patients receiving combination therapy compared with monotherapy (36% versus 8%, P = 0.058). CONCLUSIONS In the largest series of Serratia endocarditis to date, combination antibiotic treatment was associated with improved outcomes. However, larger, prospective studies are warranted.

Clinical Outcomes of Third-Generation Cephalosporin Definitive Therapy for Bloodstream Infections Due to Enterobacterales with Potential AmpC Induction: A Single-Center Retrospective Study. Pathogens 2023; 12:1152. [PMID: 37764960 PMCID: PMC10537439 DOI: 10.3390/pathogens12091152] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2023] [Revised: 09/05/2023] [Accepted: 09/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The recommended therapy for severe infections caused by AmpC-inducible Enterobacterales (AmpC-E) typically involves cefepime or carbapenems. In an era of emerging resistance to these antimicrobials, we aim to assess the impact of third-generation cephalosporins (3GCs) vs. alternative antibiotics on clinical outcomes in bloodstream infections (BSIs) due to AmpC-E. We retrospectively included hospitalized adult patients with BSIs caused by 3GC-susceptible AmpC-E between 2012 and 2022, comparing the outcomes of 3GC and non-3GC definitive therapies. The primary outcome was overall treatment failure (OTF), encompassing 90-day all-cause mortality, 90-day reinfection, and 90-day readmission. Secondary outcomes comprised components of the OTF, in-hospital all-cause mortality, and length-of-stay. Within a total cohort of 353 patients, OTF occurred in 46.5% and 41.5% in the 3GC- and non-3GC-therapy groups, respectively (p = 0.36). The 3GC-therapy group exhibited a longer length-of-stay (38 vs. 21 days, p = 0.0003) and higher in-hospital mortality (23.3% vs. 13.4%, p = 0.019). However, the 90-day mortality, 90-day reinfection, and 90-day readmission were comparable between the therapy groups. Subgroup analyses involving high-risk AmpC-E and 3GC vs. standard-of-care yielded similar conclusions. Overall, our findings suggest that 3GC definitive therapy may not result in poorer clinical outcomes for the treatment of BSIs caused by AmpC-E.

Clinical outcome of wild-type AmpC-producing Enterobacterales infection in critically ill patients treated with β-lactams: a prospective multicenter study. Ann Intensive Care 2022; 12:107.

Abstract
Background β-lactams are the main antibiotics used against wild-type AmpC-producing Enterobacterales (wtAE). However, they may fail or select AmpC-overproducing mutants. Our aim was to assess factors associated with clinical failure of β-lactams in the treatment of wtAE infection. Methods From September 2017 to December 2020, we prospectively included all consecutive patients treated by definitive β-lactams therapy for wtAE infection in four university ICUs. Clinical failure was defined as inadequate response to antimicrobial therapy leading to death or to the switch for a broader-spectrum antibiotic. Results 177 patients were included and 29.4% progressed to clinical failure. E. cloacae was the most prevalent species (42.4%) and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) was the most frequent wtAE infection (69.5%). Cefepime and cefotaxime were used as definitive antibiotic treatment in 42.9% and 27.7% of patients, respectively. Occurrence of AmpC-overproduction was documented in 5.6% of patients and was associated with clinical failure (p = 0.004). In multivariate analysis, VAP (p < 0.001, OR 11.58 [95% CI 3.11–43.02] and K. aerogenes (p = 0.030, OR 3.76 [95% CI 1.13–12.46]) were independently associated with clinical failure. Conversely, cefotaxime as definitive treatment was found inversely associated with the risk of clinical failure (p = 0.022, OR 0.25 [95% CI 0.08–0.82]). After inverse probability weighting, cefotaxime showed a 20% risk reduction of clinical failure (95% CI 5–35%, p = 0.007) whatever the location of infection, the SOFA score on the day of wtAE infection, or the bacterial species. Conclusions Clinical failure in the treatment of wtAE infections is associated with the infection site and the causal microorganism. Additionally, cefotaxime use is probably protective against clinical failure in wtAE infection.

Abstract
Background Third-generation cephalosporins (3GCs) may be susceptible in vitro to Enterobacter spp. and Klebsiella aerogenes. However, treatment with mainly fourth-generation cephalosporins or carbapenems is currently recommended. Diversification of antimicrobial agents in therapy is required to avoid the selection pressure of resistant organisms by broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents. Aims This study investigated the clinical efficacy of 3GC therapy for Enterobacter spp. and Klebsiella aerogenes bacteremia in a multicenter, retrospective, observational study. Methods Patients with Enterobacter spp. or Klebsiella aerogenes detected in blood cultures and treated with a susceptible antimicrobial agent were included in the study. Propensity score matching was performed to align patient background bases, and clinical outcomes between the 3GC and non-3GC groups were compared. Treatment success was defined as having no need for treatment escalation or the addition of other antimicrobial agents, no recurrence, or no death within 30 days. Results The study included 188 cases, of which 57 and 131 were included in the 3GC and non-3GC treatment groups, respectively; 53 patients in each group were matched by propensity score matching. There were no significant differences between groups in rates of switching to a susceptible antimicrobial or adding another agent, relapse within 30 days, or death within 30 days. In the 3GC group, source control was associated with favorable clinical outcomes. Conclusions Definitive 3GC therapy for susceptible Enterobacter spp. and Klebsiella aerogenes bacteremia is as clinically effective and valuable a targeted therapy as non-3GC therapy and can be implemented under conditions in which infection source control measures are in place.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) is committed to providing up-to-date guidance on the treatment of antimicrobial-resistant infections. A previous guidance document focused on infections caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E), carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa with difficult-to-treat resistance (DTR-P. aeruginosa). Here, guidance is provided for treating AmpC β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (AmpC-E), carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB), and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia infections. METHODS A panel of six infectious diseases specialists with expertise in managing antimicrobial-resistant infections formulated questions about the treatment of AmpC-E, CRAB, and S. maltophilia infections. Answers are presented as suggestions and corresponding rationales. In contrast to guidance in the previous document, published data on optimal treatment of AmpC-E, CRAB, and S. maltophilia infections are limited. As such, guidance in this document is provided as "suggested approaches" based on clinical experience, expert opinion, and a review of the available literature. Because of differences in the epidemiology of resistance and availability of specific anti-infectives internationally, this document focuses on the treatment of infections in the United States. RESULTS Preferred and alternative treatment suggestions are provided, assuming the causative organism has been identified and antibiotic susceptibility results are known. Approaches to empiric treatment, duration of therapy, and other management considerations are also discussed briefly. Suggestions apply for both adult and pediatric populations. CONCLUSIONS The field of antimicrobial resistance is highly dynamic. Consultation with an infectious diseases specialist is recommended for the treatment of antimicrobial-resistant infections. This document is current as of September 17, 2021 and will be updated annually. The most current versions of IDSA documents, including dates of publication, are available at www.idsociety.org/practice-guideline/amr-guidance-2.0/.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to quantify incidence and determine predictors of Gram-negative bacilli (GNB) in people who inject drugs (PWID) with injection-drug use (IDU)-related infections. The investigation was a retrospective cohort of hospitalized PWID from January 2017 to December 2019. Inclusion criteria were age of ≥18 years, active IDU, treated IDU-attributable infection, and organism growth from microbiology cultures. Infection types included infective endocarditis (IE), acute bacterial skin/skin structure infection (ABSSSI), osteoarticular infection (OAI), and other bloodstream infections (BSI). Primary outcome was GNB identification from microbiologic culture; descriptive statistics were used to describe the cohort. Multivariable regression was used to identify variables associated with GNB infection. A total of 230 PWID were included, 65 (28%) with GNB infections and 165 (72%) with Gram-positive infections. The median (interquartile range [IQR]) population age was 38 (31 to 45) years. Most patients were women (56%); 37% had no insurance. Infection types were as follows: IE, 41%; ABSSSI, 37%; OAI, 20%; and other BSI, 2%. A total of 278 organisms were isolated from 230 patients. The most common organisms were methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (43%), Streptococcus spp. (19%), methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (17%), and Serratia marcescens (8%); 10% of infections were mixed GNB and Gram-positive infections. A total of 80% of patients received empirical Pseudomonas aeruginosa coverage; only 7% had P. aeruginosa infections. In multivariable regression, age of >50 years (adjusted odds ratio [adjOR], 2.9; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.2 to 7.2), prior hospitalization within 90 days (adjOR, 2.2; 95% CI, 1.2 to 4.3), and OAI (adjOR, 3.2; 95% CI, 1.5 to 6.6) were associated with GNB infection. GNB in PWID with IDU-attributable infections were more frequently observed in recently hospitalized, older patients with OAI. The majority of patients received empirical antipseudomonal antibiotic coverage, but P. aeruginosa was infrequent. PWID are a potential population to target improved empirical antibiotic use.

Abstract
Objectives: Chromosomally mediated AmpC-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CAE) display high susceptibility to fluoroquinolones; minimal clinical data exist supporting comparative clinical outcomes. The objective of this study was to compare treatment outcomes between fluoroquinolone and nonfluoroquinolone definitive therapy of bloodstream infections caused by CAE. Methods: This retrospective cohort assessed adult patients with positive blood cultures for CAE that received inpatient treatment for ≥48 h. The primary outcome was difference in clinical failure between patients who received fluoroquinolone (FQ) versus non-FQ treatment. Secondary endpoints included microbiological cure, infection-related length of stay, 90-day readmission, and all-cause inpatient mortality. Results: 56 patients were included in the study (31 (55%) received a FQ as definitive therapy; 25 (45%) received non-FQ). All non-FQ patients received a beta-lactam (BL). Clinical failure occurred in 10 (18%) patients, with 4 (13%) in the FQ group and 6 (24%) in the BL group (p = 0.315). Microbiological cure occurred in 55 (98%) patients. Median infection-related length of stay was 10 (6–20) days, with a significantly longer stay occurring in the BL group (p = 0.002). There was no statistical difference in 90-day readmissions between groups (7% FQ vs. 17% BL; p = 0.387); one patient expired. Conclusion: These results suggest that fluoroquinolones do not adversely impact clinical outcomes in patients with CAE. When alternatives to beta-lactam therapy are needed, fluoroquinolones may provide an effective option.
