Persistent bloodstream infection with Kocuria rhizophila related to a damaged central catheter.

ABSTRACT: A case of persistent bloodstream infection with Kocuria rhizophila related to a damaged central venous catheter in a 3-year-old girl with Hirschsprung's disease is reported. The strain was identified as K. rhizophila by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry. Arbitrarily primed PCR analysis showed a clonal strain. The repeated septic episodes were resolved with the catheter repair.

Project description:Mycobacterium brumae is a rapidly growing environmental mycobacterial species identified in 1993; so far, no infections by this organism have been reported. Here we present a catheter-related M. brumae bloodstream infection in a 54-year-old woman with breast cancer. The patient presented with high fever (39.7 degrees C), and >1,000 colonies of M. brumae grew from a quantitative culture of blood drawn through the catheter. A paired peripheral blood culture was negative, however, suggesting circulational control of the infection. The patient was treated empirically with meropenem and vancomycin, and the fever resolved within 24 h. The catheter was removed a week later, and from the tip M. brumae was isolated a second time, suggesting catheter colonization. The organism was identified by colonial morphology, sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene, and biochemical tests.

Establishing catheter-related bloodstream infection surveillance to drive improvement.

Project description:BackgroundCatheter-related blood stream infections (CRBSI) are an important complication of central venous access devices but are often poorly measured. This article describes the journey of one hospital trust to set up a surveillance process for CRBSI across all specialties of the trust and to reduce CRBSI.MethodUsing a locally adapted CRBSI criteria and root cause analysis (RCA) for investigation we identified a number of opportunities for a quality improvement programme.FindingsOver a 5-year period we saw a significant and sustained reduction in the rate of CRBSI from 5 per 1000 catheter days to 0.23 per 1000 catheter days.ConclusionsThe surveillance enabled rates of CRBSI to be monitored across the trust and the success of our improvements to be measured.

Predicting outcomes in central venous catheter salvage in pediatric central line-associated bloodstream infection.

Project description:ObjectiveCentral line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) are a common, costly, and hazardous healthcare-associated infection in children. In children in whom continued access is critical, salvage of infected central venous catheters (CVCs) with antimicrobial lock therapy is an alternative to removal and replacement of the CVC. However, the success of CVC salvage is uncertain, and when it fails the catheter has to be removed and replaced. We describe a machine learning approach to predict individual outcomes in CVC salvage that can aid the clinician in the decision to attempt salvage.Materials and methodsOver a 14-year period, 969 pediatric CLABSIs were identified in electronic health records. We used 164 potential predictors to derive 4 types of machine learning models to predict 2 failed salvage outcomes, infection recurrence and CVC removal, at 10 time points between 7 days and 1 year from infection onset.ResultsThe area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve varied from 0.56 to 0.83, and key predictors varied over time. The infection recurrence model performed better than the CVC removal model did.ConclusionsMachine learning-based outcome prediction can inform clinical decision making for children. We developed and evaluated several models to predict clinically relevant outcomes in the context of CVC salvage in pediatric CLABSI and illustrate the variability of predictors over time.

Complete genome sequence of the soil actinomycete Kocuria rhizophila.

Project description:The soil actinomycete Kocuria rhizophila belongs to the suborder Micrococcineae, a divergent bacterial group for which only a limited amount of genomic information is currently available. K. rhizophila is also important in industrial applications; e.g., it is commonly used as a standard quality control strain for antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Sequencing and annotation of the genome of K. rhizophila DC2201 (NBRC 103217) revealed a single circular chromosome (2,697,540 bp; G+C content of 71.16%) containing 2,357 predicted protein-coding genes. Most of the predicted proteins (87.7%) were orthologous to actinobacterial proteins, and the genome showed fairly good conservation of synteny with taxonomically related actinobacterial genomes. On the other hand, the genome seems to encode much smaller numbers of proteins necessary for secondary metabolism (one each of nonribosomal peptide synthetase and type III polyketide synthase), transcriptional regulation, and lateral gene transfer, reflecting the small genome size. The presence of probable metabolic pathways for the transformation of phenolic compounds generated from the decomposition of plant materials, and the presence of a large number of genes associated with membrane transport, particularly amino acid transporters and drug efflux pumps, may contribute to the organism's utilization of root exudates, as well as the tolerance to various organic compounds.

Effect of sutureless securement on hemodialysis catheter-related bloodstream infection.

Project description:The use of sutureless securement devices during catheterization might reduce the risk of catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) by suppressing catheter-exit infection and catheter dislodgement. However, the effectiveness of these devices in reducing CRBSI risk when securing hemodialysis catheters has not been explored. This single-center retrospective observational study examined 211 non-tunneled hemodialysis catheters (NTHCs) from 110 hemodialysis inpatients, of which 121 were secured using conventional skin sutures (Suture group) and 90 with GRIP-LOK (GRIP-LOK group). The stabilized inverse probability of treatment (SIPT)-weighting method was used to generate a new population (SIPT-weighted model) without group differences for each of the 12 predictors of CRBSI development (i.e., age, sex, dialysis history, concomitant acute kidney injury or diabetes, concurrent use of immunosuppressant drugs or aspirin, NTHC insertion site, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, carriage, bacteremia event within 3 months before catheterization, hemoglobin level, and serum albumin titer). The effect of GRIP-LOK compared with sutures on CRBSI in the SIPT-weighted model was evaluated using univariate SIPT-weighted Cox proportional regression analysis, which showed a significant CRBSI suppression effect of GRIP-LOK compared with sutures (hazard ratio: 0.17 [95% CI 0.04-0.78], p = 0.023).　GRIP-LOK affords a lower risk of CRBSI due to indwelling NTHCs than conventional securement using sutures.

Appropriate duration of peripherally inserted central catheter maintenance to prevent central line-associated bloodstream infection.

Project description:Background/aimProlonged maintenance of central venous catheters, including peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs), is a major risk factor for central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI). This study was conducted to evaluate the appropriate duration of PICC maintenance to prevent CLABSI.MethodsA single-center retrospective study was conducted at an 824-bed tertiary hospital in Korea between January 2010 and December 2017. All hospitalized patients who underwent ultrasound-guided PICC insertion were enrolled. CLABSI was diagnosed according to the definitions of the National Health Safety Network. CLABSI caused by PICC was defined as PICC-associated bloodstream infection (PABSI). To identifying statistical correlations between catheter days and PABSI, the odds ratio for PABSI on the basis of the continuous value of catheter days was analyzed using restricted cubic spline splits with five knots. The optimal cut-off value for catheter days was identified by maximizing the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC).ResultsA total of 1,053 patients underwent ultrasound-guided PICC insertion during the study period. Among them, 36 were confirmed as having a PABSI (3.5%, 36/1014; 1.14 per 1000 catheter days). In the restricted cubic spline regression, catheter days showed a dose-dependent relationship with the risk of PABSI. The AUC of the ROC curve for developing a PABSI according to the duration of catheter maintenance was 0.715 (95% CI, 0.639-0.790); the calculated optimal cut-off value was 25 days.ConclusionThe incidence of PABSI was 1.14 per 1000 catheter days and the optimal cut-off value of catheter days to avoid a PABSI was 25 days.

Cluster-Randomized Trial of Devices to Prevent Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infection.

Project description:Central venous catheters (CVCs) contribute disproportionately to bloodstream infection (BSI) and, by extension, to infection-related hospitalization, mortality, and health care costs in patients undergoing dialysis. Recent product advancements may reduce BSIs, but a sufficiently powered comparative-effectiveness study is needed to facilitate evidence-based patient care decisions. In a 13-month, prospective, cluster-randomized, open-label trial, we compared BSI rates in facilities using ClearGuard HD antimicrobial barrier caps (ClearGuard group) with those in facilities using Tego hemodialysis connectors plus Curos disinfecting caps (Tego+Curos group). Forty DaVita dialysis facilities in the United States were pair-matched by BSI rate, number of patients using CVCs, and geographic location, and then cluster randomized 1:1. We enrolled all adult patients undergoing dialysis with CVCs at these facilities, except those allergic to heparin or chlorhexidine. Overall, 1671 patients participated in the study, accruing >183,000 CVC-days. The study outcome was positive blood culture (PBC) rate as an indicator of BSI rate. We calculated results at the cluster level and adjusted for the facility cluster effect. During a 3-month run-in period immediately before study interventions, the groups had similar BSI rates (P=0.8). During the 13-month intervention period that immediately followed, the ClearGuard group had a BSI rate significantly lower than that of the Tego+Curos group (0.28 versus 0.75 PBCs per 1000 CVC-days, respectively; P=0.001). No device-related adverse events were reported. In conclusion, compared with Tego connectors plus Curos caps, ClearGuard HD antimicrobial barrier caps significantly lowered the rate of catheter-related BSIs in patients undergoing hemodialysis using CVCs, representing an important advancement in hemodialysis patient care.

The first case of catheter-related bloodstream infection caused by Nocardia farcinica.

Project description:Nocardia farcinica is an emerging pathogen in immunocompromised hosts. Even though several species of Nocardia have been reported as causative pathogens of catheter-related blood stream infections (CRBSI), CRBSI caused by N. farcinica has not been reported. A 70-yr-old man with a tunneled central venous catheter (CVC) for home parenteral nutrition was admitted with fever for two days. Norcardia species was isolated from the blood through CVC and peripheral bloods and identified to N. farcinica by 16S rRNA and rpoB gene sequence analyses. This report emphasizes the rapid and correct identification of causative agents in infectious diseases in the selection of antimicrobial agents and the consideration of catheter removal.
