Antibacterial Activity and Optimal Treatment of Ceftazidime-Avibactam and Aztreonam-Avibactam Against Bloodstream Infections Caused by Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: This work was to investigate the activity and optimal treatments of ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) and aztreonam-avibactam (AZA) against bloodstream infections caused by carbapenem resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (BSIs-CRKP). Methods: A total of 318 nonduplicate BSIs-CRKP isolates were collected from Blood Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System (BRICS) program. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of CZA and AZA were determined by agar dilution method. Carbapenemase genes and multilocus sequence typing were amplified by PCR. Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) was conducted to calculate cumulative fraction of response (CFR) of different CZA or AZA administrations. Results: The MIC₉₀ of CZA and AZA were 128/4 and 1/4 mg/L, respectively. There are 87.4 and 3.5% isolates carried bla _KPC-2 and bla _NDM-1. A total of 68 ST types were identified and 29 novel ST types. ST11 accounted for 66.6%. Further MCS showed CFR of CZA using two-step infusion therapy (rapid first-step 0.5 h infusion and slow second-step 3 h infusion, TSIT) (2.5 g 0.5 h, 3.75 g every 8 h with 3 h infusion and 3.75 g 0.5 h, 2.5 g every 8 h with 3 h infusion) was above 89%. The CFR of AZA with TSIT was above 96%. Conclusion: TSIT with sufficient pharmacokinetic conditions could be useful for enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of CZA and AZA against BSIs-CRKP.

Project description:This research focused on evaluating the clinical results of patients suffering from pneumonia caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP), who received treatment with either ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) alone or in combination with other antibiotics. From January 2020 to December 2023, we retrospectively analyzed CRKP-related pneumonia patients treated in two Chinese tertiary hospitals. Mortality was measured at 14 and 30 days as the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes included the 14-day microbiological cure rate and the 14-day clinical cure rate. Factors contributing to clinical failure were evaluated via both univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression. To account for confounding factors, propensity score matching (PSM) was utilized. Among the 195 patients with CRKP infections, 103 (52.8 %) received CZA combination therapy, and 92 (47.2 %) patients received CZA monotherapy. The combination therapy group exhibited superior clinical and microbiological cure rates compared to the monotherapy group, with a 14-day clinical cure rate of 60.1 % vs. 45.7 % (P = 0.042) and a 14-day microbiological cure rate of 72.8 % vs. 58.6 % (P = 0.038), respectively. Combination therapy reduced mortality rates at 14 days (7.8 % vs. 17.4 %, P = 0.041), but not at 30 days (14.6 % vs. 25.0 %, P = 0.066). Even after using PSM, the group treated with the CZA combination continued to had a lower mortality rate at 14 days (5.9 % vs. 17.6 %, P = 0.039). The 14-day clinical cure rate for the combination therapy group was 63.2 %, and the 14-day microbial cure rate was 77.9 %. Both of these statistics were notably greater than those observed in the monotherapy group. Furthermore, the multivariate logistic regression model indicated a significant link between combination therapy and a decrease in clinical failure. Carbapenems were noted to be the most effective class of concomitant agents. Our findings indicate that patients with pneumonia due to CRKP benefit from combination treatment of CZA rather than monotherapy; administering carbapenem in combination with CZA in the early stages could provide considerable survival benefits.

Project description:IntroductionCeftazidime/avibactam-resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPC-Kp) is a topic of great interest for epidemiological, diagnostic, and therapeutical reasons. However, data on its prevalence and burden on mortality in patients with bloodstream infection (BSI) are lacking. This study was aimed at identifying risk factors for mortality in patients suffering from ceftazidime/avibactam-resistant KPC-Kp BSI.MethodsAn observational retrospective study (January 2018-December 2022) was conducted at a tertiary hospital including all consecutive hospitalized adult patients with a ceftazidime/avibactam-resistant KPC-Kp BSI. Data on baseline clinical features, management, and admission outcomes were analyzed.ResultsOver the study period, among all the KPC-Kp BSI events recorded, 38 (10.5%) were caused by ceftazidime/avibactam-resistant KPC-Kp strains, 37 events being finally included. The ceftazidime/avibactam-resistant KPC-Kp strains revealed susceptibility restoration to at least one carbapenem in more than 60% of cases. In-hospital and 30-day all-cause mortality rates were 22% and 16.2%, respectively. Non-survivors suffered from more baseline comorbidities and experienced a more severe ceftazidime/avibactam-resistant KPC-Kp BSI presentation (i.e., both the Pitt Bacteremia and INCREMENT-CPE scores were significantly higher). Presenting with a higher Charlson Comorbidity Index, chronic kidney disease-KDIGO stage 3A or worse-having recently gone through renal replacement therapy, having suffered from an acute kidney injury following the ceftazidime/avibactam-resistant KPC-Kp BSI, and being admitted for cardiac surgery were the strongest predictors of mortality.ConclusionCeftazidime/avibactam resistance in KPC-Kp BSI easily emerged in our highly KPC-Kp endemic area with remarkable mortality rates. Our findings might provide physicians possibly actionable information when managing patients with a ceftazidime/avibactam-resistant KPC-Kp BSI.
