In Vitro Activity of Ceftazidime-Avibactam and Aztreonam-Avibactam against OXA-48-Carrying Enterobacteriaceae Isolated as Part of the International Network for Optimal Resistance Monitoring (INFORM) Global Surveillance Program from 2012 to 2015.

ABSTRACT: Enterobacteriaceae producing the Ambler class D OXA-48 carbapenemase, combined with additional resistance mechanisms, such as permeability defects or cocarriage of class A, B, or C ?-lactamases, can become highly resistant to most ?-lactams currently in use, including carbapenems. A total of 45,872 Enterobacteriaceae clinical isolates collected in 39 countries as part of the International Network for Optimal Resistance Monitoring (INFORM) global surveillance study in 2012 to 2015 were tested for susceptibility to ?-lactams and comparator agents using the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute broth microdilution methodology and screened for the presence of ?-lactamases. The bla OXA-48 and bla OXA-48-like genes were detected in 333 isolates across 14 species of Enterobacteriaceae collected in 20 countries across the globe. Few agents tested were effective in vitro against the overall collection of OXA-48-producers (n = 265), with tigecycline (MIC90, 2?µg/ml; 92.5% susceptible), ceftazidime-avibactam (MIC90, 4?µg/ml; 92.5% susceptible), and aztreonam-avibactam (MIC90, 0.5?µg/ml; 99.6% of isolates with MIC ?8?µg/ml) demonstrating the greatest activity. Similarly, colistin (MIC90, 1?µg/ml; 94.2% susceptible), tigecycline (MIC90, 2?µg/ml; 92.6% susceptible), ceftazidime-avibactam (MIC90, >128?µg/ml; 89.7% susceptible), and aztreonam-avibactam (MIC90, 4?µg/ml; 100% of isolates with MIC ?8?µg/ml) were most active against OXA-48-like-positive isolates (n = 68). The in vitro activity of ceftazidime-avibactam was improved against the subset of metallo-?-lactamase (MBL)-negative, OXA-48- and OXA-48-like-positive isolates (99.2% and 100% susceptible, respectively). The data reported here support the continued investigation of ceftazidime-avibactam and aztreonam-avibactam for the treatment of infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae carrying OXA-48 and OXA-48-like ?-lactamases in combination with serine- or metallo-?-lactamases.

Project description:Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Enterobacteriaceae isolates have been increasingly reported worldwide, and therapeutic options to treat infections caused by these organisms are limited. We evaluated the activity of ceftazidime-avibactam and comparators against 456 Enterobacteriaceae isolates carrying blaKPC collected from 79 U.S. hospitals during 2012 to 2015. Overall, ceftazidime-avibactam (MIC50/90, 0.5/2 μg/ml; 99.3% susceptible) and tigecycline (MIC50/90, 0.5/1 μg/ml; 98.9% susceptible at ≤2 μg/ml) were the most active agents. Only 80.5% and 59.0% of isolates were susceptible to colistin and amikacin, respectively. All three isolates (0.7%) displaying resistance to ceftazidime-avibactam (K. pneumoniae; MICs, ≥16 μg/ml) were evaluated using whole-genome sequencing analysis and relative quantification of expression levels of porins and efflux pump. Two isolates carried metallo-β-lactamase genes, blaNDM-1 or blaVIM-4, among other β-lactam resistance mechanisms, and one displayed a premature stop codon in ompK35 and decreased expression of ompK36 Ceftazidime-avibactam was active against 100.0 and 99.3% of isolates carrying blaKPC-3 (n = 221) and blaKPC-2 (n = 145), respectively. Isolates carrying blaKPC were more commonly recovered from pneumonia (n = 155), urinary tract (n = 93), and skin/soft tissue (n = 74) infections. Ceftazidime-avibactam (97.8 to 100.0% susceptible) was consistently active against isolates from all infection sites. K. pneumoniae (83.3% of the collection) susceptibility rates were 99.2% for ceftazidime-avibactam, 98.9% for tigecycline, and 80.1% for colistin. Ceftazidime-avibactam susceptibility did not vary substantially when comparing isolates from intensive care unit (ICU) patients to those from non-ICU patients. Ceftazidime-avibactam was active against this large collection of isolates carrying blaKPC and represents a valuable addition to the armamentarium currently available for the treatment of infections caused by KPC-producing Enterobacteriaceae.

Project description:Infections due to carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative pathogens are associated with limited treatment options and consequently lead to increased mortality and morbidity. In response, combinations of existing ?-lactams and novel ?-lactamase inhibitors, such as ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI), have been developed as alternative treatment options. To understand the development of resistance and evolutionary trajectories under CAZ-AVI exposure, we studied the effects of ceftazidime (CAZ) and CAZ-AVI on the carbapenemase OXA-48 and the epidemic OXA-48 plasmid in Escherichia coli Exposure of CAZ and CAZ-AVI resulted in single (P68A) and double (P68A,Y211S) amino acid substitutions in OXA-48, respectively. The antimicrobial susceptibility data and enzyme kinetics showed that the P68A substitution was responsible for an increased activity toward CAZ, whereas P68A,Y211S led to a decrease in the inhibitory activity of AVI. X-ray crystallography and molecular modeling of the mutants demonstrated increased flexibility within the active site, which could explain the elevated CAZ hydrolysis and reduced inhibitory activity of AVI. Interestingly, these substitutions resulted in collateral effects compromising the activity of OXA-48 toward carbapenems and penicillins. Moreover, exposure to CAZ-AVI selected for mutations within the OXA-48-encoding plasmid that severely reduced fitness in the absence of antimicrobial selection. These evolutionary trade-offs may contribute to limit the evolution of OXA-48-mediated CAZ and CAZ-AVI resistance, as well as potentially resensitize isolates toward other therapeutic alternatives.IMPORTANCE The recent introduction of novel ?-lactam/?-lactamase inhibitor combinations like ceftazidime-avibactam has increased our ability to treat infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, including carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales However, the increasing number of cases of reported resistance to ceftazidime-avibactam is a concern. OXA-48 is a carbapenemase that has no significant effect on ceftazidime, but is inhibited by avibactam. Since isolates with OXA-48 frequently harbor extended-spectrum ?-lactamases that are inhibited by avibactam, it is likely that ceftazidime-avibactam will be used to treat infections caused by OXA-48-producing Enterobacterales. Our data show that exposure to ceftazidime-avibactam can lead to changes in OXA-48, resulting in increased ability to hydrolyze ceftazidime and withstand the inhibitory effect of avibactam. Thus, resistance toward ceftazidime-avibactam among OXA-48-producing Enterobacterales should be monitored. Interestingly, the compromising effect of the amino acid substitutions in OXA-48 on other ?-lactams and the effect of ceftazidime-avibactam exposure on the epidemic OXA-48 plasmid indicate that the evolution of ceftazidime-avibactam resistance comes with collateral effects.

Project description:Broth microdilution antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed for ceftazidime-avibactam and comparator agents against 7,062 clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa collected from 2012 to 2014 in four geographic regions (Europe, Asia/South Pacific, Latin America, Middle East/Africa) as part of the International Network for Optimal Resistance Monitoring (INFORM) global surveillance program. The majority of isolates were susceptible to ceftazidime-avibactam, with the proportions susceptible differing marginally across the four regions (MIC90, 8 to 16 ?g/ml; 88.7 to 93.2% susceptible), in contrast to lower susceptibilities to the following comparator ?-lactam agents: ceftazidime (MIC90, 32 to 64 ?g/ml; 71.5 to 80.8% susceptible), meropenem (MIC90, >8 ?g/ml; 64.9 to 77.4% susceptible), and piperacillin-tazobactam (MIC90, >128 ?g/ml; 62.3 to 71.3% susceptible). Compared to the overall population, susceptibility to ceftazidime-avibactam of isolates that were nonsusceptible to ceftazidime (n = 1,627) was reduced to between 56.8% (Middle East/Africa; MIC90, 64 ?g/ml) and 68.9% (Asia/South Pacific; MIC90, 128 ?g/ml), but these percentages were higher than susceptibilities to other ?-lactam agents (0 to 44% susceptible, depending on region and agent; meropenem MIC90, >8 ?g/ml; 26.5 to 43.9% susceptible). For this subset of isolates, susceptibilities to amikacin (MIC90, >32 ?g/ml; 53.2 to 80.0% susceptible) and colistin (MIC90, 1 ?g/ml; 98.5 to 99.5% susceptible) were comparable to or higher than that of ceftazidime-avibactam. A similar observation was made with isolates that were nonsusceptible to meropenem (n = 1,926), with susceptibility to ceftazidime-avibactam between 67.8% (Middle East/Africa; MIC90, 64 ?g/ml) and 74.2% (Europe; MIC90, 32 ?g/ml) but again with reduced susceptibility to comparators except for amikacin (MIC90, >32 ?g/ml; 56.8 to 78.7% susceptible) and colistin (MIC90, 1 ?g/ml; 98.9 to 99.3% susceptible). Of the 8% of isolates not susceptible to ceftazidime-avibactam, the nonsusceptibility of half could be explained by their possession of genes encoding metallo-?-lactamases. The data reported here are consistent with results from other country-specific and regional surveillance studies and show that ceftazidime-avibactam demonstrates in vitro activity against globally collected clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa, including isolates that are resistant to ceftazidime and meropenem.

Project description:Oxacillinases (OXA)-48-like β-lactamases are one of the most common resistance determinants among carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales reported globally. Moreover, there is no standard treatment available against organisms producing OXA-48-like enzymes, and they are sometimes difficult to detect, making treatment challenging. The objective of this study was to evaluate the distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility of blaOXA-48-like Enterobacterales isolates against ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI) and a panel of comparators collected worldwide from 2016 to 2020 as a part of the Antimicrobial Testing Leadership and Surveillance program. Among all the Enterobacterales isolates collected, 1.8% (1,690/94,052) carried blaOXA-48-like, and a majority of those were identified as K. pneumoniae (86.5%, 1,462/1,690). Among all the blaOXA-48-like isolates, 88.9% (1,502/1,690) were extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-positive, 20.7% (350/1,690) were metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-positive, and 8.9% (150/1,690) were ESBL- and MBL-negative. There were 10 different variants of the OXA-48-like family of enzymes detected, with the major variant being blaOXA-48 (50.2%, 848/1,690), blaOXA-232 (29.3%, 496/1,690), and blaOXA-181 (18.0%, 304/1,690). Overall, all the blaOXA-48-like isolates showed a susceptibility of 78.6% to CAZ-AVI. Importantly, high susceptibility to CAZ-AVI was shown by all the blaOXA-48 type, MBL-negative isolates (n = 1,380, ≥99.0%), and all the MBL-negative isolates (n = 1,300, ≥97.6%) of the major variants (blaOXA-48, blaOXA-232, and blaOXA-181) studied. Among the comparator agents, all isolates showed good susceptibility to only tigecycline (>95.0%) and colistin (>78.6%). Considering the limited treatment options available, CAZ-AVI could be considered as a potential treatment option against blaOXA-48-like Enterobacterales. However, routine surveillance and appropriate stewardship strategies for these organisms may help identify emerging resistance mechanisms and effective treatment of infections.ImportanceResistance to carbapenems among Enterobacterales is often due to the production of enzymes that are members of the oxacillinases (OXA)-48-like family. These organisms can also be resistant to other classes of drugs and are difficult to identify and treat. This study evaluated the activity of the drug ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI) and other comparator agents against a global collection of Enterobacterales that produce OXA-48-like enzymes. CAZ-AVI was active against blaOXA-48-like Enterobacterales, and only colistin and tigecycline were similarly active among the comparator agents, highlighting the limited treatment options against these organisms. Continued surveillance of the distribution of these OXA 48-like producing Enterobacterales and monitoring of resistance patterns along with the implementation of antimicrobial stewardship measures to guide antibiotic use and appropriate treatment are necessary to avoid drug resistance among these organisms.

Project description:The International Network for Optimal Resistance Monitoring (INFORM) global surveillance program collected clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae (n = 7,665) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 1,794) from 26 medical centers in six Latin American countries from 2012 to 2015. The in vitro activity of ceftazidime-avibactam and comparators was determined for the isolates using the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) reference broth microdilution method. Enterobacteriaceae were highly susceptible (99.7%) to ceftazidime-avibactam, including 99.9% of metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-negative isolates; 87.4% of all P. aeruginosa isolates and 92.8% of MBL-negative isolates were susceptible to ceftazidime-avibactam. Susceptibility to ceftazidime-avibactam ranged from 99.4% to 100% for Enterobacteriaceae and from 79.1% to 94.7% for P. aeruginosa when isolates were analyzed by country of origin. Ceftazidime-avibactam inhibited 99.6% to 100% of Enterobacteriaceae isolates that carried serine β-lactamases, including extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs), AmpC cephalosporinases, and carbapenemases (KPC and OXA-48-like) as well as 99.7%, 99.6%, 99.5%, and 99.2% of MBL-negative isolates demonstrating ceftazidime-nonsusceptible, multidrug-resistant (MDR), meropenem-nonsusceptible, and colistin-resistant phenotypes, respectively. Among carbapenem-nonsusceptible isolates of P. aeruginosa (n = 750), 14.7% carried MBLs with or without additional acquired serine β-lactamases, while in the majority of isolates (70.0%), no acquired β-lactamase was identified. Ceftazidime-avibactam inhibited 89.5% of carbapenem-nonsusceptible P. aeruginosa isolates in which no acquired β-lactamase was detected. Overall, clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae collected in Latin America from 2012 to 2015 were highly susceptible to ceftazidime-avibactam, including isolates that exhibited resistance to ceftazidime, meropenem, colistin, or an MDR phenotype. Country-specific variations were noted in the susceptibility of P. aeruginosa isolates to ceftazidime-avibactam.

Project description:The in vitro activities of ceftazidime-avibactam and comparators against 9,149 isolates of Enterobacteriaceae and 2,038 isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa collected by 42 medical centers in nine countries in the Asia-Pacific region from 2012 to 2015 were determined as part of the International Network for Optimal Resistance Monitoring (INFORM) global surveillance program. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was conducted by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) broth microdilution, and isolate subset analysis was performed on the basis of the resistant phenotypes and β-lactamase content. Ceftazidime-avibactam demonstrated potent in vitro activity (MIC, ≤8 μg/ml) against all Enterobacteriaceae tested (99.0% susceptible) and was the most active against isolates that were metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) negative (99.8% susceptible). Against P. aeruginosa, 92.6% of all isolates and 96.1% of MBL-negative isolates were susceptible to ceftazidime-avibactam (MIC, ≤8 μg/ml). The rates of susceptibility to ceftazidime-avibactam ranged from 97.0% (Philippines) to 100% (Hong Kong, South Korea) for Enterobacteriaceae and from 83.1% (Thailand) to 100% (Hong Kong) among P. aeruginosa isolates, with lower susceptibilities being observed in countries where MBLs were more frequently encountered (Philippines, Thailand). Ceftazidime-avibactam inhibited 97.2 to 100% of Enterobacteriaceae isolates, per country, that carried serine β-lactamases, including extended-spectrum β-lactamases, AmpC cephalosporinases, and carbapenemases (KPC, GES, OXA-48-like). It also inhibited 91.3% of P. aeruginosa isolates that were carbapenem nonsusceptible in which no acquired β-lactamase was detected. Among MBL-negative Enterobacteriaceae isolates that were ceftazidime nonsusceptible, meropenem nonsusceptible, colistin resistant, and multidrug resistant, ceftazidime-avibactam inhibited 96.1, 87.7, 100, and 98.8% of isolates, respectively, and among MBL-negative P. aeruginosa isolates that were ceftazidime nonsusceptible, meropenem nonsusceptible, colistin resistant, and multidrug resistant, ceftazidime-avibactam inhibited 79.6, 83.6, 83.3, and 68.2% of isolates, respectively. Overall, clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae and P. aeruginosa collected in nine Asia-Pacific countries from 2012 to 2015 were highly susceptible to ceftazidime-avibactam.
