Epidemiology and Genomic Characteristics of Bloodstream Infection Caused by Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae With Decreased Susceptibility to Aztreonam/Avibactam in China.

ABSTRACT: Aztreonam/avibactam (AZA), as one of the novel β-lactamases and β-lactamase inhibitor combinations, is considered to be a promising option for bloodstream infection (BSI) of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-Kp). However, decreased susceptibility of AZA activity in Enterobacterales has been reported. The aim of this study was to identify the mechanisms of BSI CR-Kp with decreased susceptibility of AZA (minimal inhibitory concentration above 16/4 mg/L) (AZAH-Kp). Nine BSI AZAH-Kp isolates were screened from 317 CR-Kp isolates in Blood Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System (BRICS) program. Whole genome sequencing, bioinformatics analysis, and the relative expression of bla_KPC , ompK35, and ompK37 were explored for CR-Kp with decreased susceptibility to AZA. The results revealed that elevated inhibitory concentration of AZA has emerged in CR-Kp before previous clinical exposure. In addition, decreased AZA susceptibility was associated with higher KPC expression and changes in OmpK35-37.

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

Project description: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.

Global Dissemination of blaKPC into Bacterial Species beyond Klebsiella pneumoniae and In Vitro Susceptibility to Ceftazidime-Avibactam and Aztreonam-Avibactam.

Project description:The Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC), first described in the United States in 1996, is now a widespread global problem in several Gram-negative species. A worldwide surveillance study collected Gram-negative pathogens from 202 global sites in 40 countries during 2012 to 2014 and determined susceptibility to ?-lactams and other class agents by broth microdilution testing. Molecular mechanisms of ?-lactam resistance among carbapenem-nonsusceptible Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were determined using PCR and sequencing. Genes encoding KPC enzymes were found in 586 isolates from 22 countries (76 medical centers), including countries in the Asia-Pacific region (32 isolates), Europe (264 isolates), Latin America (210 isolates), and the Middle East (19 isolates, Israel only) and the United States (61 isolates). The majority of isolates were K. pneumoniae (83.4%); however, KPC was detected in 13 additional species. KPC-2 (69.6%) was more common than KPC-3 (29.5%), with regional variation observed. A novel KPC variant, KPC-18 (KPC-3[V8I]), was identified during the study. Few antimicrobial agents tested remained effective in vitro against KPC-producing isolates, with ceftazidime-avibactam (MIC90, 4 ?g/ml), aztreonam-avibactam (MIC90, 0.5 ?g/ml), and tigecycline (MIC90, 2 ?g/ml) retaining the greatest activity against Enterobacteriaceae cocarrying KPC and other ?-lactamases, whereas colistin (MIC90, 2 ?g/ml) demonstrated the greatest in vitro activity against KPC-positive P. aeruginosa This analysis of surveillance data demonstrated that KPC is widely disseminated. KPC was found in multiple species of Enterobacteriaceae and P. aeruginosa and has now become a global problem.

In vitro selection of aztreonam/avibactam resistance in dual-carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:To examine the in vitro selection of aztreonam/avibactam resistance among MBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae and to understand the mechanism of increased resistance. METHODS:The MICs of aztreonam were determined with and without avibactam (4?mg/L) using a broth microdilution method. Single-step and multi-step mutant selection was conducted on five MBL-producing K. pneumoniae strains, including two dual carbapenemase producers. Genomic sequencing and gene cloning were performed to investigate the mechanism of increased resistance. RESULTS:We examined the MICs for 68 MBL-producing K. pneumoniae isolates, including 13 dual carbapenemase producers. Compared with aztreonam alone, the addition of avibactam (4?mg/L) reduced the MICs for all isolates by >128-fold, with MIC50 and MIC90 values of 0.25 and 1?mg/L, respectively. One NDM-1-, OXA-48-, CTX-M-15- and CMY-16-positive ST101 K. pneumoniae strain was selected to be resistant to aztreonam/avibactam, with a >16-fold increase in MIC (>128?mg/L). WGS revealed that the resistant mutants lost the blaNDM-1 gene, but acquired amino acid substitutions in CMY-16 (Tyr150Ser and Asn346His). Construction of blaCMY-16 mutants confirmed that the substitutions (Tyr150Ser and Asn346His) were primarily responsible for the decreased susceptibility to aztreonam/avibactam. In addition, transfer of blaCMY-16 mutant (Tyr150Ser and Asn346His) plasmid constructs into certain clinical carbapenemase-producing isolates demonstrated >64-fold increased MICs of aztreonam/avibactam and aztreonam/avibactam/ceftazidime. CONCLUSIONS:Aztreonam in combination with avibactam showed potent in vitro activity against MBL-producing K. pneumoniae. However, our study suggested the likelihood of aztreonam/avibactam resistance among MBL- and AmpC-co-producing strains and clinical practice should beware of the possibility of the emerging resistance.

<i>In Vitro</i> Activity Comparison of Ceftazidime-Avibactam and Aztreonam-Avibactam Against Bloodstream Infections With Carbapenem-Resistant Organisms in China.

Project description:ObjectivesThe aim of this work was to investigate the activity of ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) and aztreonam-avibactam (AZA) against bloodstream infections caused by carbapenem-resistant organisms (CROs).MethodsNon-duplicate CROs, including 56 carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli (CR-Eco), 318 carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-Kpn), and 65 carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CR-Pae), were collected using the Blood Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System (BRICS) program in China. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 24 antibiotics were tested. Carbapenemase genes were amplified for CZA-resistant CROs by PCR. The MICs of CZA and AZA were further determined with avibactam at 8 and 16 mg/L, respectively.ResultsThe resistance rate of polymyxin B against CROs was less than 5%. Only one CR-Kpn was resistant to tigecycline. The resistance rates of CZA against CR-Eco, CR-Kpn, and CR-Pae were 75.0%, 12.6%, and 18.5%, respectively. The MIC90 values of AZA against CR-Eco, CR-Kpn, and CR-Pae were 2/4, 1/4, and 64/4 mg/L, respectively. Among the CZA-resistant CROs, 42 (100%) CR-Eco, 24 (60%) CR-Kpn, and 1 (8.3%) CR-Pae isolates harbored metallo-β-lactamase genes. The increase of avibactam concentration enhanced the susceptibility of CZA and AZA against CROs, especially for CR-Eco and CR-Kpn.ConclusionsThe in vitro activity of AZA was superior to that of CZA against CR-Eco and CR-Kpn, whereas CZA showed better effect against CR-Pae.

Successful treatment of infective endocarditis due to pandrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae with ceftazidime-avibactam and aztreonam.

Project description:Pandrug-resistant (PDR) K. pneumoniae refractory to conventional treatment has been reported worldwide, causing a huge burden on the healthcare system, patient safety and the economy. K. pneumoniae is a prominent opportunistic pathogen causing hospital-acquired and community-acquired infections, but is rarely associated with infective endocarditis. Currently, there are sparse data guiding the optimal regimen when commonly used antibiotics fail, notably for the treatment of endocarditis infections. Here we report our experience in treating a 40-year-old female with PDR K. pneumoniae infection of cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) and right-sided infective endocarditis. Initial susceptibility testing of the incriminated pathogen showed an apparent susceptibility to colistin but the prolonged course of colistin, gentamicin and meropenem did not resolve the infection. However, the synergistic combinations of aztreonam with ceftazidime-avibactam was able to overcome resistance and clear the infection rapidly. Genome sequencing showed that the PDR K. pneumoniae isolate belongs to the international high-risk clone ST14. The isolate harbored genes encoding NDM-1, OXA-48, CTX-M-14b, SHV-28 and OXA-1, explaining resistance to all β-lactams, including carbapenems. It carried the armA gene conferring resistance to all clinically important aminoglycosides and had alterations in GyrA, ParC and MgrB, explaining resistance to ciprofloxacin and colistin.

Avibactam Sensitizes Carbapenem-Resistant NDM-1-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae to Innate Immune Clearance.

Project description:Infections caused by New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-producing strains of multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae are a global public health threat lacking reliable therapies. NDM is impervious to all existing β-lactamase inhibitor (BLI) drugs, including the non-β-lactam BLI avibactam (AVI). Though lacking direct activity against NDMs, AVI can interact with penicillin-binding protein 2 in a manner that may influence cell wall dynamics. We found that exposure of NDM-1-producing K. pneumoniae to AVI led to striking bactericidal interactions with human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide LL-37, a frontline component of host innate immunity. Moreover, AVI markedly sensitized NDM-1-producing K. pneumoniae to killing by freshly isolated human neutrophils, platelets, and serum when complement was active. Finally, AVI monotherapy reduced lung counts of NDM-1-producing K. pneumoniae in a murine pulmonary challenge model. AVI sensitizes NDM-1-producing K. pneumoniae to innate immune clearance in ways that are not appreciated by standard antibiotic testing and that merit further study.

Epidemiology of Bloodstream Infections Caused by Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae That Are Piperacillin-Tazobactam-Nonsusceptible but Ceftriaxone-Susceptible.

Project description:Background:Piperacillin-tazobactam-nonsusceptible (TZP-NS) Enterobacteriaceae are typically also resistant to ceftriaxone. We recently encountered bacteremias due to Escherichia coli (Ec) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) that were TZP-NS but ceftriaxone-susceptible (CRO-S). Methods:We reviewed all Ec and Kp bacteremias from 2011 to 2015 at our center and assessed the prevalence, antimicrobial susceptibilities, genetic profiles, patient characteristics, treatments, and outcomes of TZP-NS/CRO-S infections. We identified risk factors for TZP-NS/CRO-S infections compared with Ec and Kp bacteremias that were TZP-S and CRO-S (Control Group 1) and compared outcomes of patients with TZP-NS/CRO-S bacteremias, Control Group 1, and patients bacteremic with extended-spectrum ?-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Ec and Kp. Results:There were 1857 Ec and Kp bacteremia episodes, of which 78 (4.2%) were TZP-NS/CRO-S (Ec: 50/1227 [4.1%]; Kp: 28/630 [4.4%]). All TZP-NS/CRO-S isolates were also ampicillin-sulbactam-NS. Of 32 TZP-NS/CRO-S isolates that were sequenced, 28 (88%) harbored bla TEM-1 or bla SHV-1, none had an ESBL or AmpC ?-lactamase gene, and many sequence types were represented. Independent risk factors for TZP-NS/CRO-S bacteremia were exposure to ?-lactam/?-lactamase inhibitors (BL/BLIs; adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 5.5; P < .001) and cephalosporins (aOR, 3.0; P = .04). Thirty-day mortality after TZP-NS/CRO-S bacteremia was 25%, which was similar to control groups and was similar in patients treated empirically with BL/BLIs compared with those treated with cephalosporins or carbapenems. Targeted therapy with cephalosporins did not yield a higher 30-day mortality rate than carbapenem therapy. Conclusions:TZP-NS/CRO-S Ec and Kp are emerging causes of bacteremia, and further research is needed to better understand the epidemiology, resistance mechanisms, and clinical impact of these strains.

Emergence of Resistance to Colistin During the Treatment of Bloodstream Infection Caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenemase-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Project description:We report the emergence of colistin resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae after 8 days of colistin-based therapy, resulting in relapse of bloodstream infection and death. Disruption of the mgrB gene by insertion of a mobile genetic element was found to be the mechanism, which was replicated in vitro after exposure to subinhibitory concentrations of colistin and meropenem.
