In vitro antimicrobial susceptibility of clinical respiratory isolates to ceftazidime-avibactam and comparators (2016-2018).

ABSTRACT:

Background

This antimicrobial surveillance study reports in vitro antimicrobial activity and susceptibility data for a panel of agents against respiratory isolates of Enterobacterales and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Methods

Isolates from respiratory specimens were collected in Africa/Middle East, Asia/South Pacific, Europe and Latin America between 2016 and 2018, as part of the Antimicrobial Testing Leadership and Surveillance (ATLAS) program. Broth microdilution methodology was used to quantify minimum inhibitory concentrations, from which rates of susceptibility were determined using EUCAST breakpoints (version 10). Rates of subsets with genes encoding β-lactamases (extended-spectrum β-lactamases [ESBLs], serine carbapenemases and metallo-β-lactamases [MBLs]) were also determined, as well as rates of multidrug-resistant (MDR) P. aeruginosa.

Results

Among all respiratory Enterobacterales isolates, susceptibility to ceftazidime-avibactam, meropenem, colistin and amikacin was ≥94.4% in each region. For Enterobacterales isolates that were ESBL-positive or carbapenemase-positive/MBL-negative, ceftazidime-avibactam susceptibility was 93.6 and 98.9%, respectively. Fewer than 42.7% of MBL-positive Enterobacterales isolates were susceptible to any agents, except colistin (89.0% susceptible). Tigecycline susceptibility was ≥90.0% among Citrobacter koseri and Escherichia coli isolates, including all β-lactamase-positive subsets. ESBL-positive Enterobacterales were more commonly identified in each region than isolates that were ESBL/carbapenemase-positive; carbapenemase-positive/MBL-negative; or MBL-positive. Among all respiratory P. aeruginosa isolates, the combined susceptibility rates (susceptible at standard dosing regimen plus susceptible at increased exposure) were highest to ceftazidime-avibactam, colistin and amikacin (≥82.4% in each region). Susceptibility to colistin was ≥98.1% for all β-lactamase-positive subsets of P. aeruginosa. The lowest rates of antimicrobial susceptibility were observed among MBL-positive isolates of P. aeruginosa (≤56.6%), with the exception of colistin (100% susceptible). MDR P. aeruginosa were most frequently identified in each region (18.7-28.7%), compared with the subsets of ESBL-positive; carbapenemase-positive/MBL-negative; or MBL-positive isolates.

Conclusions

Rates of susceptibility among the collections of respiratory Enterobacterales and P. aeruginosa isolates were highest to ceftazidime-avibactam, colistin and amikacin in each region. Tigecycline was active against all subsets of C. koseri and E. coli, and colistin was active against all subsets of P. aeruginosa. The findings of this study indicate the need for continued antimicrobial surveillance among respiratory Gram-negative pathogens, in particular those with genes encoding MBLs.

Project description:BackgroundIncreases in resistance to fluoroquinolones have been correlated with the use of levofloxacin in the treatment of infections caused by Escherichia coli. The analysis presents the in vitro activity of ceftazidime-avibactam and comparator agents against 10,840 levofloxacin-resistant E. coli isolates collected from four geographic regions (Africa/Middle East, Europe, Asia/South Pacific, Latin America) between 2012 and 2018.MethodsNon-duplicate clinical isolates of E. coli were collected from participating centres and shipped to IHMA, Inc., (Schaumburg, IL, USA). Susceptibility testing was performed with frozen broth microdilution panels manufactured by IHMA, according to CLSI guidelines. Levofloxacin-resistance was defined at a minimum inhibitory concentration of ≥ 2 mg/L. Isolates collected between 2012 and 2015 were tested for extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) activity by determining susceptibility to cefotaxime, cefotaxime-clavulanate, ceftazidime, and ceftazidime-clavulanate as recommended by CLSI guidelines. Isolates collected between 2016 and 2018 were identified as ESBL-positive by genotype using multiplex polymerase chain reaction assays.ResultsA total of 74.8% of levofloxacin-resistant E. coli isolates in the analysis were from three culture sources: urinary tract infections (N = 3229; 29.8%), skin and skin structure infections (N = 2564; 23.7%) and intra-abdominal infections (N = 2313; 21.3%). Susceptibility rates to ceftazidime-avibactam were consistently high in all regions against both ESBL-positive (97.0% in Asia/South Pacific to 99.7% in Africa/Middle East and Latin America) and ESBL-negative isolates (99.4% in Asia/South Pacific to 100% in Latin America). Susceptibility was also high in each region among ESBL-positive and ESBL-negative isolates to colistin (≥ 98.5%), imipenem (≥ 96.5%), meropenem (≥ 96.5%) and tigecycline (≥ 94.1%).ConclusionsAntimicrobial susceptibility to ceftazidime-avibactam among levofloxacin-resistant E. coli isolates, including ESBL-positive isolates, collected from four geographical regions between 2012 and 2018 was consistently high. Susceptibility to the comparator agents colistin, tigecycline, imipenem and meropenem was also high.

Project description:This study evaluated the in vitro activity of cefepime-zidebactam in comparison with that of ceftazidime-avibactam and other comparators against clinically significant Gram-negative bacillus isolates. A total of 3,400 nonduplicate Gram-negative clinical isolates were collected from 45 medical centers across China in the CHINET Program in 2018, including Enterobacterales (n = 2,228), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 657), and Acinetobacter baumannii (n = 515). The activities of cefepime-zidebactam and 20 comparators were determined by broth microdilution as recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. Cefepime-zidebactam demonstrated potent activity against almost all Enterobacterales (MIC50/90, 0.125/1 mg/liter) and good activity against P. aeruginosa (MIC50/90, 2/8 mg/liter). Among the 373 carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae isolates, 57.3% (213/373) and 15.3% (57/373) were positive for blaKPC-2 and blaNDM, respectively. Cefepime-zidebactam showed a MIC of ≤2 mg/liter for 92.0% (196/213) of blaKPC-2 producers and 79.7% (47/59) of blaNDM producers. Ceftazidime-avibactam showed good in vitro activity against Enterobacterales (MIC50/90, 0.25/2 mg/liter; 94.0% susceptible) and P. aeruginosa (MIC50/90, 4/16 mg/liter; 86.9% susceptible). Ceftazidime-avibactam was active against 9.1% of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli isolates (63.6% were blaNDM producers) and 84.6% of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates (74.3% were blaKPC producers). Most (90.1%) blaKPC-2 producers were susceptible to ceftazidime-avibactam. Cefepime-zidebactam demonstrated limited activity (MIC50/90, 16/32 mg/liter) against the 515 A. baumannii isolates (79.2% were carbapenem resistant), and ceftazidime-avibactam was less active (MIC50/90, 64/>64 mg/liter). Cefepime-zidebactam was highly active against clinical isolates of Enterobacterales and P. aeruginosa, including blaKPC-2-positive Enterobacterales and blaNDM-positive Enterobacterales and carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa And ceftazidime-avibactam was highly active against blaKPC-2-positive Enterobacterales and carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa.

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:BACKGROUND:Detection of ceftazidime/avibactam (CAZ/AVI) antibacterial activity is absolutely vital with the rapid growth of carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE). But now, there is no available automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing card for CAZ/AVI, so Kirby-Bauer has become an economical and practical method for detecting CAZ/AVI antibacterial activity against Enterobacteriaceae. RESULT:In this study, antimicrobial susceptibility testing of CAZ/AVI against 386 Enterobacteriaceae (188 Klebsiella pneumoniae, 122 Escherichia coli, 76 Enterobacter cloacae) isolated from clinical patients was performed by broth microdilution. Of the 386 strains, 54 extended spectrum β lactamases negative (ESBL(-)), 104 extended spectrum β lactamases positive (ESBL(+)), 228 CRE. 287 isolates were susceptible to CAZ/AVI and 99 isolates were resistant to CAZ/AVI. At the same time, to obtain optimal content avibactam (AVI) disk containing ceftazidime (30 μg), inhibition zone diameter of four kinds of ceftazidime (30 μg) disk containing different AVI content (0 μg, 10 μg, 25 μg, 50 μg) were tested by Kirby-Bauer method. The microdilution broth method interpretation was used as the standard to estimate susceptible or resistance and then coherence analysis was carried out between Kirby-Bauer and broth microdilution. The result shows the inhibition zone diameter of 30 μg/50 μg disk, susceptible isolates: 20.5 mm-31.5 mm, resistance isolates: 8.25 mm-21.5 mm. The inhibition zone diameter of 30 μg/25 μg disk, susceptible isolates: 19.7 mm-31.3 mm, resistance isolates: 6.5 mm-19.2 mm. The inhibition zone diameter of 30 μg/10 μg disk, susceptible isolates: 19.5 mm-31 mm, resistance isolates: 6.5 mm-11 mm. The inhibition zone diameter of ceftazidime (30 μg), susceptible isolates: 6.5 mm-27.5 mm, resistance isolates 6.5 mm. CONCLUSION:Our results show that 30 μg/50 μg, 30 μg/25 μg, 30 μg/10 μg CAZ/AVI disk have significant statistical differences to determinate CAZ/AVI antibacterial activity, but for 30 μg/50 μg disk, there has a cross section between susceptible isolates (minimum 20.5 mm) and resistance isolates (maximum 21.5 mm). For 30 μg/25 μg disk, it is hard to distinguish the difference between susceptible isolates (minimum 19.7 mm) and resistance isolates (maximum 19.2 mm), so 30 μg/10 μg CAZ/AVI disk is more conducive to determinate antibacterial activity.
