Genotypic Evolution of Klebsiella pneumoniae Sequence Type 512 during Ceftazidime/Avibactam, Meropenem/Vaborbactam, and Cefiderocol Treatment, Italy.

ABSTRACT: In February 2022, a critically ill patient colonized with a carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae producing KPC-3 and VIM-1 carbapenemases was hospitalized for SARS-CoV-2 in the intensive care unit of Policlinico Umberto I hospital in Rome, Italy. During 95 days of hospitalization, ceftazidime/avibactam, meropenem/vaborbactam, and cefiderocol were administered consecutively to treat 3 respiratory tract infections sustained by different bacterial agents. Those therapies altered the resistome of K. pneumoniae sequence type 512 colonizing or infecting the patient during the hospitalization period. In vivo evolution of the K. pneumoniae sequence type 512 resistome occurred through plasmid loss, outer membrane porin alteration, and a nonsense mutation in the cirA siderophore gene, resulting in high levels of cefiderocol resistance. Cross-selection can occur between K. pneumoniae and treatments prescribed for other infective agents. K. pneumoniae can stably colonize a patient, and antimicrobial-selective pressure can promote progressive K. pneumoniae resistome evolution, indicating a substantial public health threat.

Project description:Background: Avibactam, relebactam and vaborbactam are β-lactamase inhibitors that proved their efficiency against KPC-producing Enterobacterales. Regarding their inhibitor activity towards Ambler’s class A extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) and Ambler’s class C cephalosporinase (AmpC), they should be active on most of the carbapenem-resistant non-carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CR non-CPE). Objectives: Determine the in vitro activity of ceftazidime-avibactam, imipenem-relebactam and meropenem-vaborbactam and comparators against CR non-CPE. Methods: MICs to ceftazidime/avibactam, imipenem/relebactam, meropenem/vaborbactam, but also temocillin, ceftolozane/tazobactam, ertapenem, colistin, eravacycline and tigecycline were determined by broth microdilution (ThermoFisher) on a collection of 284 CR non-CPE (inhibition zone diameter < 22 mm to meropenem). Whole genome sequencing was performed on 90 isolates to assess the genetic diversity as well as resistome. Results: According to EUCAST breakpoints, susceptibility rates of ceftazidime, imipenem, meropenem and ertapenem used at standard dose were 0.7%, 45.1%, 14.8% and 2.5%, respectively. Increased exposure of ceftazidime, imipenem and meropenem led to reach 3.5%, 68.3% and 67.7% susceptibility, respectively. Using the EUCAST clinical breakpoints, susceptibility rates of ceftazidime/avibactam, imipenem/relebactam and meropenem/vaborbactam were 88.4%, 81.0% and 80.6%, respectively. Susceptibility rates of temocillin, ceftolozane/tazobactam, tigecycline, eravacycline, and colistin were 0%, 4.6%, 27.8%, 54.9% and 90.1%. MICs distributions with and without the presence of the inhibitor demonstrated a better ability of avibactam and relebactam compared to vaborbactam to restore susceptibility to the associated β-lactam. Conclusions: This study demonstrated the in vitro efficacy of ceftazidime/avibactam, imipenem/relebactam and to a lesser extent meropenem/vaborbactam against CR non-CPE. Moreover, to test all β-lactams/β-lactamases inhibitors combinations without a priori for CRE, non-CPE is crucial since resistance to one of the β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations does not predict resistance to another molecule, depending on the resistance mechanisms involved.
