Impact of extensive antibiotic treatment on faecal carriage of antibiotic-resistant enterobacteria in children in a low resistance prevalence setting.

ABSTRACT: We prospectively studied the consequences of extensive antibiotic treatment on faecal carriage of antibiotic-resistant enterobacteria in a cohort of children with cystic fibrosis (CF) and a cohort of children with cancer compared to healthy children with no or low antibiotic exposure. The study was conducted in Norway in a low resistance prevalence setting. Sixty longitudinally collected faecal samples from children with CF (n = 32), 88 samples from children with cancer (n = 45) and 127 samples from healthy children (n = 70) were examined. A direct MIC-gradient strip method was used to detect resistant Enterobacteriaceae by applying Etest strips directly onto agar-plates swabbed with faecal samples. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) data were analysed to identify resistance mechanisms in 28 multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli isolates. The prevalence of resistance to third-generation cephalosporins, gentamicin and ciprofloxacin was low in all the study groups. At inclusion the prevalence of ampicillin-resistant E. coli and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole-resistant E. coli in the CF group compared to healthy controls was 58.6% vs. 28.4% (p = 0.005) and 48.3% vs. 14.9% (p = 0.001), respectively, with a similar prevalence at the end of the study. The prevalence of resistant enterobacteria was not significantly different in the children with cancer compared to the healthy children, not even at the end of the study when the children with cancer had been treated with repeated courses of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Children with cancer were mainly treated with intravenous antibiotics, while the CF group mainly received peroral treatment. Our observations indicate that the mode of administration of antibiotics and the general level of antimicrobial resistance in the community may have an impact on emergence of resistance in intestinal enterobacteria during antibiotic treatment. The WGS analyses detected acquired resistance genes and/or chromosomal mutations that explained the observed phenotypic resistance in all 28 multidrug-resistant E. coli isolates examined.

Project description:Background: Gastrointestinal carriage of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (CRGN) constitutes a major public health concern as it may be followed by clinical infection development or lead to intra-hospital dissemination. Detection of carriers and implementation of infection control measures are essential in every hospital. In this study we determined the point prevalence of VRE and CRGN in the fecal flora of the inpatients of a tertiary university hospital in Greece. We determined risk factors for carriage and examined the impact of carriage on hospital outcomes. Materials/Methods: A point prevalence study of VRE/CRGN rectal carriage of inpatients was conducted on March 2018. Specimens were selectively cultured for VRE/CRGN, microorganisms were biochemically identified, submitted to antibiotic susceptibility testing, and tested for carbapenemase production. Data on potential risk factors and hospital outcomes were collected at the time of culture and until hospital discharge. Multivariable logistic and linear regression models were used, adjusting for confounders. Results: Four hundred ninety-one patients were enrolled in the study. Of them, 64 (13.0%) were positive for VRE carriage, 40 (8.2%) for CRGN, and 10 patients (2.1%) for both VRE and CRGN. VRE carriage was independently associated with age over 65 years (adjusted OR: 2.4 [95%CI: 1.3, 4.5]) and length of stay (LOS) before rectal sampling (OR: 1.1 [95%CI: 1.0, 1.1]). Carriage of CRGN was associated with 11 days increase of LOS after rectal sampling (?-coef: 11.4 [95%CI: 1.6, 21.2]), with a 3.5-fold increased risk of acquiring a resistant pathogen after rectal swabbing (RR: 3.5 [95%CI 1.2, 9.9]) and with a 6-fold increased risk of mortality (RR: 6.1 [95%CI: 2.1, 17.9]), after adjusting for sex, age, and comorbidity index. Conclusions: High prevalence rates were found for VRE and CRGN carriage among the inpatients of our hospital. Prolonged hospitalization and age were independent risk factors for VRE carriage, while CRGN carriage was associated with increased risk of acquiring a resistant pathogen, prolonged hospital stay, and increased mortality.

Project description:This study was conducted in order to know the colonization rate of MDR enterobacteria in neonates during their hospitalization in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Furthermore, we investigated risk factors for potential colonization and molecular epidemiology of isolated resistant bacteria. This prospective study was carried out in the neonatology and intensive care unit department of the University Hospital of Fez (Morocco) from February 2013 to July 2015. All consecutive admitted newborns were screened for intestinal and nasal carriage of MDR enterobacteria at admission of the babies and during the hospitalization. During the study period, a total of 641 Enterobacteriaceae were isolated and Klebsiella pneumoniae was the predominated bacteria. Bacterial identification and antibiograms were performed according to the international standards. On admission, 455 newborns were screened. A median age of these newborns was 1 day with an extended 147 days and their average weight was 2612 ± 1023 grams. 22.4% of neonates were found colonized by an ESBL producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E), 8.7% by a carbapenemases producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE). During hospitalization, 207 of newborns were included in the acquisition study. 59.4% of newborns acquired an ESBL-E during their stay, 12.5% has acquired CPE. The blaCTXM-15 gene was the most frequently detected (81.2%) among ESBL-E. While, all CPE has expressed the blaOXA-48 gene exclusively. Two risk factors have been significantly associated with MDR enterobacteria colonization at admission which are newborns admission from maternity of the university hospital (95% CI, 1.859-5.129, P = 0.000) and neurological distress (95% CI, 1.038 to 4.694, P = 0.040). During hospitalization, the none risk factor was significantly associated with the carriage of MDR-E. The high rate of colonization, the MDR enterobacteria and the resistance genes found represent good indicator of cross-transmission in the NICU. An active strategy to control the spread of MDR enterobacteria should be applied.

Project description:Gram-negative multidrug-resistant organisms (GN-MDRO) producing ?-lactamases (ESBL, plasmid-mediated AmpC ?-lactamases and carbapenemases) are increasingly reported throughout Asia. The aim of this surveillance study was to determine the rate of bacterial colonization in patients from two hospitals in the Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar. Rectal swabs were obtained from patients referred to the National Traumatology and Orthopaedics Research Centre (NTORC) or the Burn Treatment Centre (BTC) between July and September 2014, on admission and again after 14 days. Bacteria growing on selective chromogenic media (CHROMagar ESBL/KPC) were identified by MALDI-ToF MS. We performed susceptibility testing by disk diffusion and PCR (blaIMP-1, blaVIM, blaGES, blaNDM, blaKPC, blaOXA-48, blaGIM-1, blaOXA-23, blaOXA-24/40, blaOXA-51, blaOXA-58, blaOXA-143, blaOXA-235, blaCTX-M, blaSHV blaTEM and plasmid-mediated blaAmpC). Carbapenemase-producing isolates were additionally genotyped by PFGE and MLST. During the study period 985 patients in the NTORC and 65 patients in the BTC were screened on admission. The prevalence of GN-MDRO-carriage was 42.4% and 69.2% respectively (p<0.001). Due to the different medical specialities the two study populations differed significantly in age (p<0.029) and gender (p<0.001) with younger and more female patients in the burn centre (BTC). We did not observe a significant difference in colonization rate in the respective age groups in the total study population. In both centres most carriers were colonized with CTX-M-producing E. coli, followed by CTX-M-producing K. pneumoniae and CTX-M-producing E. cloacae. 158 patients from the NTORC were re-screened after 14 days of whom 99 had acquired a new GN-MDRO (p<0.001). Carbapenemases were detected in both centres in four OXA-58-producing A. baumannii isolates (ST642) and six VIM-2-producing P. aeruginosa isolates (ST235). This study shows a high overall prevalence of GN-MDRO in the study population and highlights the importance of routine surveillance, appropriate infection control practice and antibiotic prescribing policies to prevent further spread especially of carbapenemases.
