Risk Factors for Mortality among Patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa Bloodstream Infections: What Is the Influence of XDR Phenotype on Outcomes?

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to assess the impact of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) phenotype on mortality in Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteremia. A retrospective cohort study was performed in a tertiary hospital from January 2000 to December 2018. All consecutive prospectively recorded P. aeruginosa bacteremia in adult patients were assessed. In this study, 382 patients were included, of which 122 (31.9%) due to XDR P. aeruginosa. Independent factors associated with 14-day mortality were as follows: high-risk source of bacteremia (hazard ratio (HR) 3.07, 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.73-5.46), septic shock (HR 1.75, 95% CI, 1.12-2.75), and higher Pitt scores (one-point increments; HR 1.25, 95% CI, 1.12-1.38). Otherwise, the appropriateness of definitive antibiotic therapy was a protective factor (HR 0.39, 95% CI, 0.24-0.62). The same variables were also associated with 30-day mortality. XDR phenotype was not associated with 14- or 30-day mortality. In a subanalysis considering only high-risk source cases, combined antimicrobial therapy was independently associated with 14-day favorable outcome (HR 0.56, 95% CI, 0.33-0.93). In conclusion, XDR phenotype was not associated with poor prognosis in patients with P. aeruginosa bacteremia in our cohort. However, source of infection, clinical severity, and inappropriate definitive antibiotic therapy were risk factors for mortality. Combined antimicrobial therapy should be considered for high-risk sources.

Project description:Gram-negative bloodstream infections (GNBSI) are confirmed by the presence of gram-negative bacteria in the bloodstream and pose a significant healthcare issue as they increase the risk of sepsis and mortality. In England, the aim is to reduce GNBSI cases and further deterioration through enhanced population surveillance of patients with a laboratory-confirmed GNBSI to inform on healthcare policies. The objective of this study was to evaluate the factors associated with in-hospital mortality in patients with a laboratory-confirmed Escherichia coli, Klebsiella or Pseudomonas aeruginosa GNBSIs, with data obtained from the enhanced data capture for the surveillance of GNBSIs. All patients with a laboratory-confirmed GNBSI at a single centre, admitted between April 2017 and March 2019, were included in this retrospective observational study. Demographic and recent exposure to healthcare risk factors were collected and assessed for the association with in-hospital mortality. In 1113 patients with laboratory-confirmed GNBSIs, the in-hospital mortality rate was 13%. Multivariable analysis confirmed that patients with respiratory (OR = 3.73, 95%CI = 2.05-6.76), gastrointestinal (2.61; 1.22-5.58) or skin (3.61; 1.24-10.54) infection primary focus had a greater risk of in-hospital mortality, compared to upper urinary tract infections. Increased risk of in-hospital mortality was also observed in patients with hospital-onset GNBSIs (OR = 1.87; 1.17-2.97) compared with community-onset healthcare acquired GNBSIs, or who were on dialysis at the time of the GNBSI (3.28; 1.01-10.14), as well as in patients who had recently been discharged from hospital (1.55; 1.01-2.38), or had a vascular device recently manipulated (2.41; 1.01-5.74). Results confirm that the data obtained from the enhanced data capture for GNBSIs in England can predict in-hospital mortality in patients with a GNBSI. Several factors associated with an increased risk of in-hospital mortality have been identified. Results should be reported back to clinicians in order to identify patients at a greater risk of dying in-hospital who may benefit from further monitoring.

Project description:BackgroundBloodstream infections (BSIs) caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR)-Pseudomonas aeruginosa are associated with poor clinical outcomes, at least partly due to delayed appropriate antimicrobial therapy. The characteristics of MDR-P. aeruginosa bloodstream isolates have not been evaluated in Qatar. Our study aimed to examine in vitro susceptibility, clinical and molecular characteristics, and mechanisms of resistance of MDR-P. aeruginosa bloodstream isolates from Qatar.Materials and methodsWe included all MDR-P. aeruginosa isolated from blood cultures taken between October 2014 and September 2017. Blood cultures were processed using BD BACTEC™ FX automated system. BD Phoenix™ was used for identification, Liofilchem® MIC Test Strips for MIC determination. Whole-genome sequencing was performed using the Illumina-HiSeq-2000.ResultsOut of 362 P. aeruginosa bloodstream isolates, 16 (4.4%) were MDR. The median patient age was 55 years (range 43-81) and all patients presented with septic shock. Most patients received meropenem (12/16) and/or colistin (10/16). Clinical response was achieved in eight patients, and five patients died within 30-days. MDR-P. aeruginosa isolates belonged to 13 different sequence types. All isolates were non-susceptible to cefepime and ciprofloxacin. The most active agents were colistin (16/16) and aztreonam (10/16). Seven isolates produced blaVIM, and four possessed genes encoding extended-spectrum β-lactamases. Aminoglycoside modifying enzymes were present in 15/16, transferable qnr-mediated quinolone resistance gene was detected in 3/16, and the novel ciprofloxacin modifying enzyme CrpP-encoding gene in one isolate.ConclusionMDR-P. aeruginosa BSIs are relatively uncommon in Qatar but are highly resistant, harbour multiple resistance genes, and are commonly associated with unfavourable clinical outcomes. Colistin was the only agent with consistent activity against the study isolates.Key messagesMDR-P. aeruginosa constituted <5% of P. aeruginosa blood isolates over three years.Typical risk factors for MDR infections were highly prevalent in the study population and overall clinical outcomes are consistent with those previously reported.Colistin was the only agent with consistent antibacterial activity against the study isolates.

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative rod and an etiological factor of opportunistic infections. The infections of this etiology appear mostly among hospitalized patients and are relatively hard to treat due to widespread antimicrobial resistance. Many virulence factors are involved in the pathogenesis of P. aeruginosa infection, the coexistence of which have a significant impact on the course of an infection with a particular localization. The aim of this study was to assess the antimicrobial susceptibility profiles and the frequency of genes encoding selected virulence factors in clinical P. aeruginosa strains isolated from bloodstream infections (BSIs). The following genes encoding virulence factors of enzymatic activity were assessed: lasB, plC H, plC N, nan1, nan2, aprA and phzM. The frequency of the genes encoding the type III secretion system effector proteins (exoU and exoS) and the genes encoding pilin structural subunits (pilA and pilB) were also investigated. The occurrence of virulence-factor genes was assessed using polymerase chain reactions, each in a separate reaction. Seventy-one P. aeruginosa strains, isolated from blood samples of patients with confirmed bacteremia hospitalized at the University Hospital No. 1 of Dr. Antoni Jurasz in Bydgoszcz, Poland, were included in the study. All the investigated strains were susceptible to colistin, while the majority of the strains presented resistance to ticarcillin/clavulanate (71.8%), piperacillin (60.6 %), imipenem (57.7%) and piperacillin/tazobactam (52.1%). The presence of the lasB and plC H genes was noted in all the tested strains, while the plC N, nan2, aprA, phzM and nan1 genes were identified in 68 (95.8%), 66 (93.0%), 63 (88.7%), 55 (77.5%) and 34 (47.9%) isolates, respectively. In 44 (62.0%) and 41 (57.7%) strains, the presence of the exoU and exoS genes was confirmed, while the pilA and pilB genes were noted only in 14 (19.7%) and 3 (4.2%) isolates, respectively. This may be due to the diverse roles of these proteins in the development and maintenance of BSIs. Statistically significant correlations were observed between particular gene pairs' coexistence (e.g., alkaline protease and neuraminidase 2). Altogether, twenty-seven distinctive genotypes were observed among the studied strains, indicating the vast variety of genetic compositions of P. aeruginosa strains causing BSIs.
