Incidence and molecular characterization of the extended spectrum beta lactamase-producing Escherichia coli isolated from urinary tract infections in Eastern Saudi Arabia.

ABSTRACT: To find the prevalence of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli)-producing extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) at King Fahd Military Medical Complex in Dhahran (KFMMC) and to detect the genes responsible for its production. In addition, we determined the pattern of multi-drug resistance among isolates. Methods: A total of 117 uropathogenic E. coli isolates were collected from KFMMC over a period of 4 months from March 2014 to June 2014. These were received in the Microbiology Laboratory at Prince Sultan Military College of Health Sciences (PSMCHS), Dhahran, Saudi Arabia for analysis. The isolates were screened for ESBL using VITEK® 2 Compact. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) examination was used to determine TEM, SHV, and CTX-M genes. Results: Our findings indicated that there is a high incidence of ESBLs among the E. coli isolated from UTI (23.1%). Our study also indicated that CTX-M genes are the most prevalent among the isolates at KFMMC followed by TEM class (6%), but there was also a higher percentage E. coli (3.4%) simultaneously harboring TEM and CTX genes. None of our isolates harbored the SHV genes. Conclusion: The findings document the threat of ESBL among E. coli isolates from UTI especially the CTX-M class in our hospital with the occurrence of these strains as etiologic agents of infection in the hospital and community.

Efficacy of Noncarbapenem β-Lactams Compared to Carbapenems for Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacterales Urinary Tract Infections.

Project description:BackgroundExtended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales are frequent causes of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Severe infections caused by ESBL Enterobacterales are often treated with carbapenems, but optimal treatment for less severe infections such as UTIs is unclear.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study included patients admitted to 4 hospitals in an academic healthcare system with an ESBL UTI treated with either a noncarbapenem β-lactam (NCBL) or a carbapenem for at least 48 hours from 1 April 2014 to 30 April 2018. Those who received an NCBL were compared to those receiving a carbapenem, with a primary outcome of hospital length of stay (LOS) and secondary outcomes of clinical and microbiological response, days until transition to oral therapy, rate of relapsed infection, and rate of secondary infections with a multidrug-resistant organism.ResultsCharacteristics were similar among patients who received carbapenems (n = 321) and NCBLs (n = 171). There was no difference in LOS for the NCBL group compared to the carbapenem group (13 days vs 15 days, P = .66). The NCBL group had higher rates of microbiologic eradication (98% vs 92%, P = .002), shorter time to transition to oral therapy (5 days vs 9 days, P < .001), shorter overall durations of therapy (7 days vs 10 days, P < .001), and lower rates of relapsed infections (5% vs 42%, P = .0003).ConclusionsPatients treated with NCBLs had similar LOS, higher rates of culture clearance, and shorter durations of antibiotic therapy compared to patients treated with carbapenems, suggesting that treatment for ESBL UTIs should not be selected solely based on phenotypic resistance.

Molecular characterization of Extended-spectrum ? lactamase- producing E. coli recovered from community-acquired urinary tract infections in Upper Egypt.

Project description:Treatment of community urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by extended-spectrum ? lactamase (ESBL)- producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) is more expensive than treating ESBL-negative opposites. Evaluation of the prevalence of ESBL-production among urinary E. coli isolates is crucial due to its great impact on the choice of proper antimicrobials. Accordingly, the aim of this work was to detect and characterize ESBL-producing E. coli isolated from outpatients with signs of UTIs in Upper Egypt. Urinary E. coli isolates were identified by 16S rRNA and their ESBL-production was confirmed by Modified Double Disc Synergy Test (MDDST) and ESBL- CHROMagar media. Isolates were then subjected to Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for new Clermont phylogrouping, ESBL genes detection and CTX-M typing. The study enrolled 583 patients with clinically diagnosed UTIs. Uropathogens were found in 400 urine samples (68.6%) out of which 134 E. coli isolates were identified. Among the examined uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC), 80 (59.7%) were recognized as ESBL-producers. Greater than half of the ESBL-producers were multi-drug resistant (MDR) (62%). All of them were susceptible to meropenem. Most of the E. coli isolates were distributed in 4 phylogenetic groups: B2?=?42 (52.5%), F?=?17 (21.25%) and Clade I or II?=?10 (12.5%). The predominant gene types were TEM 60 (75%) and CTX-M gene 45 (56.25%). The CTX-M-1 group was the most prevalent (62.2%), including the CTX-M-15 enzyme, followed by the CTX-M-2 group, CTX-M-8 group and CTX-M-9 group. In conclusion, the results present alarming evidence of a serious spread of ESBL genes in Egypt, especially the epidemiological CTX-M 15, with the potential for the dissemination of MDR UPEC strains in the community.

Febrile urinary-tract infection due to extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in children: A French prospective multicenter study.

Project description:To assess the management of febrile urinary-tract infection (FUTIs) due to extended-spectrum ?-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) in children, the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Group of the French Pediatric Society set up an active surveillance network in pediatric centers across France in 2014.We prospectively analysed data from 2014 to 2016 for all children < 18 years old who received antibiotic treatment for FUTI due to ESBL-E in 24 pediatric centers. Baseline demographic, clinical features, microbiological data and antimicrobials prescribed were collected.301 children were enrolled in this study. The median age was 1 year (IQR 0.02-17.9) and 44.5% were male. These infections occurred in children with history of UTIs (27.3%) and urinary malformations (32.6%). Recent antibiotic use was the main associated factor for FUTIs due to ESBL-E, followed by a previous hospitalization and travel history. Before drug susceptibility testing (DST), third-generation cephalosporins (3GC) PO/IV were the most-prescribed antibiotics (75.5%). Only 13% and 24% of children received amikacine alone for empirical or definitive therapy, respectively, whereas 88.7% of children had isolates susceptible to amikacin. In all, 23.2% of children received carbapenems in empirical and/or definitive therapy. Cotrimoxazole (24.5%), ciprofloxacin (15.6%) and non-orthodox clavulanate-cefixime combination (31.3%) were the most frequently prescribed oral options after obtaining the DST. The time to apyrexia and length of hospital stay did not differ with or without effective empirical therapy.We believe that amikacin should increasingly take on a key role in the choice of definitive therapy of FUTI due to ESBL-E in children by avoiding the use of carbapenems.

Antimicrobial susceptibility and integrons detection among extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing Enterobacteriaceae isolates in patients with urinary tract infection

Project description:Background Integrons are bacterial mobile genetic components responsible for mediating the antibiotic resistance process by carrying and spreading antimicrobial resistance genes among bacteria through horizontal gene transfer. Objectives This cross-sectional hospital-based study aimed to find the prevalence of antibiotic resistance patterns and to detect integrons classes (I, II, and III) among bacterial isolates in patients with urinary tract infections (UTI) in Sulaimani, Iraq. Patients and Methods Mid-stream urine samples (no. = 400) were collected from patients with UTI at three different Hospitals from Sulaimani, Iraq, between September 2021 to January 2022. Urine samples were cultured on various agar media, and grown bacteria were isolated. Antibiotic susceptibility test (AST) and an extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) screen were done for isolated bacteria. Then, integrons classes were screened using conventional PCR with gene sequencing and uploaded to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). Results The frequency rate of Enterobacteriaceae was 67.03% among positive urine cultures. E. coli (no. = 86) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (no. = 32) isolates were identified. The most sensitive antibiotics were the carbapenem group (85.3%) and nitrofurantoin (NFN) (64.2%), while the most resistant antibiotics were nalidixic acid (NA) and 3rd generation cephalosporin. The occurrence rate of ESBL was 56.6% with a predominance of class I integron (54.2%), then class II (15.8%) and no positive record for class III integron were observed. Conclusion Most bacterial isolates from patients with UTI produced class I and II integrons genes with favourable ESBL properties.

Relative fecal abundance of extended-spectrum-?-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli strains and their occurrence in urinary tract infections in women.

Project description:Extended-spectrum-beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL E. coli) strains are of major concern because few antibiotics remain active against these bacteria. We investigated the association between the fecal relative abundance (RA) of ESBL-producing E. coli (ESBL-RA) and the occurrence of ESBL E. coli urinary tract infections (UTIs). The first stool samples passed after suspicion of UTI from 310 women with subsequently confirmed E. coli UTIs were sampled and tested for ESBL-RA by culture on selective agar. Predictive values of ESBL-RA for ESBL E. coli UTI were analyzed for women who were not exposed to antibiotics when the stool was passed. ESBL E. coli isolates were characterized for ESBL type, phylogroup, relatedness, and virulence factors. The prevalence of ESBL E. coli fecal carriage was 20.3%, with ESBL E. coli UTIs being present in 12.3% of the women. The mean ESBL-RA (95% confidence interval [CI]) was 13-fold higher in women exposed to antibiotics at the time of sampling than in those not exposed (14.3% [range, 5.6% to 36.9%] versus 1.1% [range, 0.32% to 3.6%], respectively; P < 0.001) and 18-fold higher in women with ESBL E. coli UTI than in those with another E. coli UTI (10.0% [range, 0.54% to 100%] versus 0.56% [range, 0.15% to 2.1%[, respectively; P < 0.05). An ESBL-RA of <0.1% was 100% predictive of a non-ESBL E. coli UTI. ESBL type, phylogroup, relatedness, and virulence factors were not found to be associated with ESBL-RA. In conclusion, ESBL-RA was linked to the occurrence of ESBL E. coli UTI in women who were not exposed to antibiotics and who had the same clone of E. coli in urine samples and fecal samples. Especially, a low ESBL-RA appeared to be associated with a low risk of ESBL E. coli infection.

Molecular characterization, antimicrobial resistance and clinico-bioinformatics approaches to address the problem of extended-spectrum ?-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli in western Saudi Arabia.

Project description:The goal of this study was to genotypically characterize extended-spectrum ?-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli isolates from the western region of Saudi Arabia and to identify active antibiotics against these isolates using phenotypic and molecular modeling. In total, 211 ESBL-producing E. coli isolates recovered from heterogeneous clinical specimens were identified by MALDI-TOF. Thirty-two sequence types (STs) were identified from a multilocus sequence typing (MLST) analysis of ESBL-producing E. coli, including a novel ST (ST8162). The most common ST in the Saudi and expatriate population was ST131, followed by ST38. All the isolates were multidrug resistant (MDR), and >95% of the isolates were resistant to third-generation (ceftriaxone and ceftazidime) and fourth-generation (cefepime) cephalosporins. The ESBL-positive E. coli isolates primarily harbored the blaCTX-M and blaTEM genes. No resistance was observed against the carbapenem antibiotic group. All the ESBL-producing E. coli isolates were observed to be susceptible to a ceftazidime/avibactam combination. Molecular interaction analyses of the docked complexes revealed the amino acid residues crucial for the binding of antibiotics and inhibitors to the modeled CTX-M-15 enzyme. Importantly, avibactam displayed the most robust interaction with CTX-M-15 among the tested inhibitors in the docked state (?G?=?-6.6?kcal/mol). The binding free energy values for clavulanate, tazobactam and sulbactam were determined to be -5.7, -5.9 and -5.2?kcal/mol, respectively. Overall, the study concludes that 'ceftazidime along with avibactam' should be carefully used as a treatment option against only carbapenem-resistant MDR ESBL-producing E. coli in this region.

Effectiveness of cefmetazole versus meropenem for invasive urinary tract infections caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing <i>Escherichia coli</i>.

Project description:Cefmetazole is active against extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (ESBLEC) and is a potential candidate for carbapenem-sparing therapy. This multicenter, observational study included patients hospitalized for invasive urinary tract infection due to ESBLEC between March 2020 and November 2021 at 10 facilities in Japan, for whom either cefmetazole or meropenem was initiated as a definitive therapy within 96 h of culture collection and continued for at least 3 d. Outcomes included clinical and microbiological effectiveness, recurrence within 28 d, and all-cause mortality (14 d, 30 d, in-hospital). Outcomes were adjusted for the inverse probability of propensity scores for receiving cefmetazole or meropenem. Eighty-one and forty-six patients were included in the cefmetazole and meropenem groups, respectively. Bacteremia accounted for 43% of the cefmetazole group, and 59% of the meropenem group. The crude clinical effectiveness, 14 d, 30 d, and in-hospital mortality for patients in the cefmetazole and meropenem groups were 96.1% vs 90.9%, 0% vs 2.3%, 0% vs 12.5%, and 2.6% vs 13.3%, respectively. After propensity score adjustment, clinical effectiveness, the risk of in-hospital mortality, and the risk of recurrence were similar between the two groups (P = 0.54, P = 0.10, and P = 0.79, respectively). In all cases with available data (cefmetazole : n = 61, meropenem : n = 22), both drugs were microbiologically effective. In all isolates, bla CTX-M was detected as the extended-spectrum β-lactamase gene. The predominant CTX-M subtype was CTX-M-27 (47.6%). Cefmetazole showed clinical and bacteriological effectiveness comparable to meropenem against invasive urinary tract infection due to ESBLECs.

Occurrence and characteristics of extended-spectrum-β-lactamase- and pAmpC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from companion animals with urinary tract infections.

Project description:This study examined 70 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates derived from companion animals with urinary tract infections in Taiwan. Overall, 81% (57/70) of the isolates carried extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) and/or plasmid-encoded AmpC (pAmpC) genes. ESBL genes were detected in 19 samples, with blaCTX-M-1, blaCTX-M-9, and blaSHV being the predominant groups. pAmpC genes were detected in 56 isolates, with blaCIT and blaDHA being the predominant groups. Multilocus sequence typing revealed that sequence types (ST)11, ST15, and ST655 were prevalent. wabG, uge, entB, mrkD, and fimH were identified as primary virulence genes. Two isolates demonstrated a hypermucoviscosity phenotype in the string test. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing exhibited high resistance to β-lactams and fluoroquinolones in ESBL-positive isolates but low resistance to aminoglycosides, sulfonamides, and carbapenems. Isolates carrying pAmpC genes exhibited resistance to penicillin-class β-lactams. These findings provide valuable insights into the role of K. pneumoniae in the context of the concept of One Health.

Relay oral therapy in febrile urinary tract infections caused by extended spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in children: A French multicenter study.

Project description:ObjectivesWe need studies assessing therapeutic options for oral relay in febrile urinary tract infection (FUTI) due to ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) in children. Amoxicillin-clavulanate/cefixime (AC-cefixime) combination seems to be a suitable option. We sought to describe the risk of recurrence at 1 month after the end of treatment for FUTI due to ESBL-E according to the oral relay therapy used.Materials and methodsWe retrospectively identified children <18 years who were included in a previous prospective observational multicentric study on managing FUTI due to ESBL-E between 2014 and 2017 in France. We collected whether children who received cotrimoxazole, ciprofloxacin or the AC-cefixime combination as the oral relay therapy reported a recurrence within the first month after the end of treatment. Then, we analyzed the susceptibility drug-testing of the strains involved.ResultsWe included 199 children who received an oral relay therapy with cotrimoxazole (n = 72, 36.2%), ciprofloxacin (n = 38, 19.1%) or the AC-cefixime combination (n = 89, 44.7%). Nine (4.5%) patients had a recurrence within the first month after the end of treatment, with no difference between the 3 groups of oral relay (p = 0.8): 4 (5.6%) cotrimoxazole, 2 (5.3%) ciprofloxacin and 3 (3.4%) AC-cefixime combination. Phenotype characterization of 249 strains responsible for FUTI due to ESBL-E showed that 97.6% were susceptible to the AC-cefixime combination.ConclusionsThe AC-cefixime combination represents an interesting therapeutic option for oral relay treatment of FUTI due to ESBL-E as the recurrence rate at 1 month after the end of treatment was the same when compared to cotrimoxazole and ciprofloxacin.
