Analysis of Susceptibilities of Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacterales to Colistin in Intra-Abdominal, Respiratory and Urinary Tract Infections from 2015 to 2017.

ABSTRACT: Purpose:To evaluate the susceptibility rates of carbapenem-resistant (CR)-Enterobacterales strains from Chinese intra-abdominal infections (IAI), respiratory tract infections (RTI) and urinary tract infections (UTI) between 2015 and 2017 to colistin. Methods:In total, 7138 Enterobacterales including 1074 CR-Enterobacterales strains were isolated from IAI+UTI+RTI samples and collected in 21 hospitals across 7 regions of China. Antimicrobial susceptibilities were determined at a central laboratory using CLSI broth microdilution and interpretive standards. Results:From 2015 to 2017, E. coli (51.4%) and K. pneumoniae (30.0%) accounted for the majority of Enterobacterales isolated from IAIs, UTIs and RTIs. The percentage of CR strains within the species was highest for S. marcescens (27.9%), followed by K. pneumoniae (24.8%), P. mirabilis (22.6), K. oxytoca (19.5%), E. cloacae (17.7%), C. freundii (12.5%), K. aerogenes (11.0%) and lowest for E. coli (6.9%). Colistin susceptibilities were generally higher in CS than in CR isolates and were 83.5% for CR-E. coli, 88.6% for CR-K. pneumoniae, 79.2% for CR-E. cloacae and 87.5% for CR-K. aerogenes. For IAI and UTI isolates in particular, CR-E. coli and CR-K. pneumoniae showed a trend of decreasing susceptibility, which was especially noted for CR-E. coli in UTI isolates, and for both organisms in IAI isolates susceptibility dropped markedly in 2017. Conclusion:Colistin was a last resort antibiotics for empirical CR-Enterobacterales treatments, since especially the percentage of CR-K. pneumoniae was 30.0% of all IAI, UTI and RTI isolates, with an incidence of 24.8% CR strains, of which 88.6% were susceptible to colistin. Also other analyzed CR-Enterobacterales showed colistin susceptibilities of ?80.0%. However, resistance rates of IAI derived CR-K. pneumoniae and CR-E. coli, and CR-K. pneumoniae UTI isolates to colistin increased between 2015 and 2017, which should further be closely monitored.

Project description:The rise in resistant Gram-negative pathogens continues to challenge clinicians treating infections. These resistant infections have inspired the development of new antimicrobial agents, including ceftolozane-tazobactam, a novel ?-lactam/?-lactamase inhibitor combination approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs) and complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAIs) in combination with metronidazole. Ceftolozane exhibits bactericidal activity by inhibiting penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), with high affinity for PBP1b, PBP1c, and PBP3. The addition of tazobactam protects ceftolozane from hydrolysis by irreversibly binding to some ?-lactamase enzymes. Ceftolozane-tazobactam is active against a wide range of Gram-negative pathogens, including extended-spectrum ?-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae and multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa, several streptococcal species, and Bacteroides fragilis. When anaerobic coverage is needed, it should be used in combination with metronidazole. Ceftolozane demonstrates linear pharmacokinetics, low protein binding, and minimal accumulation with repeated dosing. The major pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic index for ceftolozane is the percentage of the dosing interval in which the plasma free drug concentration remains higher than the minimum inhibitory concentration (%T.MIC). Phase III clinical trials for the treatment of cUTIs and cIAIs have been completed, showing that it is an effective and safe alternative for the treatment of these infections. The approved dose for cUTIs and cIAIs is 1.5 g (1 g ceftolozane and 500 mg tazobactam) infused over 1 hour every 8 hours. A higher 3 g dose is currently in Phase III trials for the treatment of ventilated nosocomial pneumonia. Dosage adjustments are necessary for patients with moderate-to-severe renal impairment. Current data suggest that ceftolozane-tazobactam is a promising carbapenem-sparing alternative agent for the treatment of cUTIs and cIAIs, including those caused by ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae and MDR P. aeruginosa.

Project description:Colistin is increasingly used as an antibiotic of last resort for the treatment of carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative infections. The plasmid-borne colistin resistance gene mcr-1 was initially identified in animal and clinical samples from China and subsequently reported worldwide, including in the United States. Of particular concern is the spread of mcr-1 into carbapenem-resistant bacteria, thereby creating strains that approach pan-resistance. While several reports of mcr-1 have involved carbapenem-resistant strains, no such isolates have been described in the United States. Here, we report the isolation and identification of an Escherichia coli strain harboring both mcr-1 and carbapenemase gene blaNDM-5 from a urine sample in a patient without recent travel outside the United States. The isolate exhibited resistance to both colistin and carbapenems, but was susceptible to amikacin, aztreonam, gentamicin, nitrofurantoin, tigecycline, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. The mcr-1- and blaNDM-5-harboring plasmids were completely sequenced and shown to be highly similar to plasmids previously reported from China. The strain in this report was first isolated in August 2014, highlighting an earlier presence of mcr-1 within the United States than previously recognized. Colistin has become the last line of defense for the treatment of infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria resistant to multiple classes of antibiotics, in particular carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE). Resistance to colistin, encoded by the plasmid-borne gene mcr-1, was first identified in animal and clinical samples from China in November 2015 and has subsequently been reported from numerous other countries. In April 2016, mcr-1 was identified in a carbapenem-susceptible Escherichia coli strain from a clinical sample in the United States, followed by a second report from a carbapenem-susceptible E. coli strain originally isolated in May 2015. We report the isolation and identification of an E. coli strain harboring both colistin (mcr-1) and carbapenem (blaNDM-5) resistance genes, originally isolated in August 2014 from urine of a patient with recurrent urinary tract infections. To our knowledge, this is the first report in the United States of a clinical bacterial isolate with both colistin and carbapenem resistance, highlighting the importance of active surveillance efforts for colistin- and carbapenem-resistant organisms.
