Bloodstream infection due to Enterobacter ludwigii, correlating with massive aggregation on the surface of a central venous catheter.

ABSTRACT: We report a case of catheter associated bloodstream infection due to Enterobacter ludwigii with a massive aggregation on the outside surface of a central venous catheter (CVC). The 57 years old patient with a history of spondylodiscitis and Staphylococcus aureus-associated endocarditis was admitted to the intensive care unit for acute cerebral infarction. The patient developed signs of infections and the CVC was removed 11 days after placement. The infectious agent was identified by standard diagnostics to the genus level as belonging to the Enterobacter cloacae complex, and additional molecular testing determined the species as E. ludwigii. The catheter was selected for a study aiming to identify the influence of blood components on the formation of central venous catheter-associated biofilms. In this course a massive biofilm was recognized and is presented here.

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.

Central Venous Catheter-related Bloodstream Infections Caused by Enterobacterales in Pediatric Oncology Patients: Catheter Salvage or Removal.

Project description:BackgroundThe aim was to determine whether salvage treatment with systemic antibiotics is a safe and effective strategy for Enterobacterales bloodstream infections (BSI) in pediatric oncology patients with a central venous catheter (CVC).MethodsA retrospective study was performed on oncology and stem cell recipient patients with a CVC and blood culture with Enterobacterales, at the Princess Máxima Centre for Pediatric Oncology, Utrecht, the Netherlands. Analyses were performed for all BSI and for episodes meeting central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) criteria. The cumulative incidence of an event (ie, removal, intensive care admission or death) was estimated after blood culture collection for episodes primarily treated with antibiotics. The effect of prognostic factors on the hazard of the event of interest was assessed by estimating a Cox proportional hazard regression model.ResultsIn total, 95 CVC-related Enterobacterales BSIs in 82 patients were included; 12 (13%) BSIs required immediate CVC removal and for 83 (87%) BSIs CVC salvage was attempted. The cumulative incidence of events at 60 days was 53.0% [95% confidence interval (CI): 41.7-63.1] for BSIs (n = 83), and 64.4% (95% CI: 48.3-76.7) for CLABSIs (n = 45). The events occurred after a median of 6 (Q1-Q3: 2-15) and 6 (Q1-Q3: 2-20) days for BSIs and CLABSIs, respectively. Intensive care admission after salvage treatment was required in 16% of the BSIs and CLABSIs, resulting in death in 5% and 2% of cases, respectively. No significant association between risk factors and events was found.ConclusionsThe cumulative incidence of an event at 60 days after salvage treatment for Enterobacterales CLABSIs and BSIs in pediatric oncology patients is high. Immediate CVC removal appears recommendable for this patient group.

Misplaced subclavian central venous catheter.

Project description:Percutaneous Central Venous Catheter (CVC) insertion using internal jugular and Subclavian veins routes is common procedure for all intensive care admitted patients and some patients in the ward as demand arises in central and referral hospitals of Botswana. This is a case report of a patient on whom a third attempt of re-inserting a CVC for fluid and total parenteral nutrition (TPN) was made. X-ray showed that left Subclavian inserted catheter was mis-directed to internal jugular vein of the same side creating discomfort to the patient. Ultra sound is recommended for routine investigation to confirm proper Central venous catheter placement as it can reduce failure, minimize complication and reduce cost of treatment.

The Seasonality of Peripheral Venous Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infections.

Project description:IntroductionAlthough the seasonality of infectious diseases has been widely reported, the seasonality of peripheral venous catheter-related bloodstream infection (PV-CRBSI) has not been investigated. This study investigated the seasonality of PV-CRBSI and its relationship with meteorological conditions.MethodsA retrospective cohort study of PV-CRBSI at Tokyo Medical University Hospital (Tokyo, Japan), from 2009 to 2019, provided the data for descriptive and time series analyses used to evaluate the number of PV-CRBSI cases per 1000 admissions that occurred each month for each causative organism. By performing univariate and multivariate analyses, the researchers investigated the seasonality of cases and the relationships between meteorological conditions, other external factors, and PV-CRBSIs.ResultsThis study included a total of 184 PV-CRBSI cases. The mean numbers of PV-CRBSI cases per 1000 admissions caused by all organisms, Bacillus cereus, Gram-positive cocci, and Gram-negative rods were 0.67, 0.15, 0.37, and 0.16 per month, respectively, during the study period. The time series analysis showed that the incidences of PV-CRBSI cases associated with B. cereus and Gram-negative rods were significantly different in the winter/spring from those in the summer/autumn (P < 0.05). The incidence of PV-CRBSI cases caused by B. cereus peaked during summer. The incidence of PV-CRBSI cases caused by B. cereus was significantly positively associated with average monthly temperature, whereas the incidence of PV-CRBSIs caused by Gram-negative rods was significantly negatively associated with average daylight hours.ConclusionThe incidence of PV-CRBSIs caused by B. cereus showed seasonality, peaking during the summer, and a significant correlation was found between PV-CRBSIs caused by B. cereus and average monthly temperature.

The TyrR regulon of Enterobacter ludwigii UW5

Project description:The TyrR transcription factor controls the expression of genes for the uptake and biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids in Escherichia coli. In the plant-associated and clinically significant proteobacterium Enterobacter ludwigii UW5, the TyrR orthologue was previously shown to regulate genes that encode enzymes for synthesis of the plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid and gluconeogenesis, indicating a broader function for the transcription factor. This study aimed to delineate the TyrR regulon of E. ludwigii by comparing the transcriptomes of the wild-type and a tyrR deletion strain. Our data show that TyrR regulates the expression of over 150 genes positively or negatively. The findings suggest that the E. ludwigii TyrR regulon has diverged from that of E. coli to include genes for survival in the diverse environments that this bacterium inhabits, and illustrate the expansion and plasticity of transcription factor regulons.

Central venous catheter repair is associated with an increased risk of bacteremia and central line-associated bloodstream infection in pediatric patients.

Project description:Repair of broken central venous catheters (CVCs) is common in pediatric patients. We hypothesized that this practice predisposes to bacteremia and central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI).We conducted a retrospective case-crossover study of pediatric patients 1 month to 21 years of age with CVC breakages who underwent a first-time repair at our institution, using repair kits provided by CVC manufacturers. We compared rates of bacteremia and CLABSI (defined by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria) in the 30 days prerepair (control period) and the 30 days postrepair (exposure period), with adjustment for within-patient correlation using conditional Poisson regression.The mean prerepair rate of bacteremia was 9.9 per 1000 catheter-days, which increased to 24.5 postrepair, resulting in an adjusted incidence rate ratio (IRR) of 1.87 (95% CI: 1.05-3.33, P = 0.034). Risk of CLABSI demonstrated a greater than 2-fold increase (IRR: 2.15, 95% CI: 1.02-4.53, P = 0.045) when all catheter-days were included, and a 4-fold increase when days on antibiotics were excluded (IRR: 4.07, 95% CI: 1.43-11.57, P = 0.008).We found that repair of a broken CVC was associated with a 2- to 4-fold higher risk of developing CLABSI within 30 days of repair in pediatric patients. Further studies are needed to determine interventions to reduce this risk and to better define the relative merits of CVC repair compared with replacement in selected patient populations.

Incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infections following ultrasound-guided central venous catheterization: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Project description:BackgroundUltrasonographic guidance is widely used for central venous catheterization. Several studies have revealed that ultrasound-guided central venous catheterization increases the rate of success during the first attempt and reduces the procedural duration when compared to the anatomical landmark-guided insertion technique, which could result in protection from infectious complications. However, the effect of ultrasound-guided central venous catheterization on catheter-related bloodstream infections remains unclear. We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the value of ultrasound guidance in preventing catheter-related bloodstream infections and catheter colonization associated with central venous catheterization.MethodsThe Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) and MEDLINE (via PubMed) were searched up to May 9, 2022 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing ultrasound-guided and anatomical landmark-guided insertion techniques for central venous catheterization. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 (RoB 2) tool for RCTs. A meta-analysis was performed for catheter-related bloodstream infections and catheter colonization, as primary and secondary outcomes, respectively.ResultsFour RCTs involving 1268 patients met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. Ultrasound-guided central venous catheterization was associated with a slightly lower incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infections (risk ratio, 0.46; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.16-1.32) and was not associated with a lower incidence of catheter colonization (risk ratio, 1.36; 95% CI, 0.57-3.26).ConclusionUltrasound-guided central venous catheterization might reduce the incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infections. Additional RCTs are necessary to further evaluate the value of ultrasound guidance in preventing catheter-related bloodstream infections with central venous catheterization.

Increased Peripheral Venous Catheter Bloodstream Infections during COVID-19 Pandemic, Switzerland.

Project description:Studies suggest that central venous catheter bloodstream infections (BSIs) increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. We investigated catheter-related BSIs in Switzerland and found peripheral venous catheter (PVC) BSI incidence increased during 2021-2022 compared with 2020. These findings should raise awareness of PVC-associated BSIs and prompt inclusion of PVC BSIs in surveillance systems.
