Abstract Background The EK-189 study evaluates the clinical impact of T2 magnetic resonance (T2MR) for rapid detection of bloodstream infections (BSI) caused by ESKAPE-pathogens (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumanii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli) compared with blood culture (BC). Here we present preliminary results from this ongoing study. Methods Patients newly admitted to an infectious diseases department with suspected blood stream infection with ESKAPE pathogens (based on predefined criteria) are included and randomized into BSI diagnosis with (a) T2MR and blood culture or (b) blood culture alone. Routine diagnostic workup including chest X-ray, complete laboratory workup (including blood count, C-reactive protein, interleukin-6) is performed in all patients. Antibiotic regimens are selected empirically based on suspected pathogens and are switched to targeted therapy at the discretion of the treating physician once a pathogen is detected. Outcome parameters include time to targeted (predefined) antibiotic therapy and time to discharge. Test characteristics of the T2MR compared with BC are also assessed. Results So far 44 patients were included (22 in each group). In 9/22 patients (41%) in the T2MR-group a pathogen was detected (4 Escherichia coli, 2 Klebsiella pneumoniae, 1 Staphylococcus aureus, 1 Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 1 Acinetobacter baumanii) and in 3/22 (14%) patients in the BC-group (all E. coli). The comparison of T2MR vs. BC is depicted in Table 1. Sensitivity and specificity of T2MR in comparison to BC were 100% and 64.7%. All positive results in T2MR were considered true positive results. The days until clinical improvement, the need for admission at ICU and the in-hospital mortality were similar in both groups. Conclusion The results from this preliminary analysis show that in patients with suspected BSI with ESKAPE pathogens, T2MR detects more pathogens than BC and potentially provides a quicker detection and shorter time to targeted therapy. Further analyses of this ongoing study with a larger sample size are needed to evaluate the impact of the use of T2MR on patient’s outcome Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.

Background. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a terminal disease requiring hemodialysis. Hemodialysis requires vascular access using a double lumen catheter (DLC). However, the use of DLC may increase complications mainly infection, either infection of exit site or bloodstream. This study is aimed to seek risk factors contributing to the incidence of central catheter-related infections in CKD patients with DLC undergoing HD at Dr. M. Djamil Hospital, Padang. Methods. This study is a prospective study on patients undergoing HD at Dr. M. Djamil Hospital, Padang. This study using consecutive sampling technique. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25.0. Results. This study involved 40 CKD patients undergoing HD. Majority of the samples had bloodstream infections (67.5%). Clinical manifestations of purulent secretion, duration of catheter used, and hypoalbuminemia had significant differences in the incidence of DLC infection based on bloodstream infection and exit site infection (p<0.05). The most common bacterial found was Pseudomonas aeruginosa (22.5%) which was sensitive to ceftazidime, cefepime, meropenem, amikacin, gentamicin, ciprofloxacin. Conclusion. Factors contributing to the incidence of DLC-related infections at Dr. M. Djamil Hospital are duration of catheter use and hypoalbuminemia. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most common cause of DLC-related infections.

Abstract Background Ceftolozane–tazobactam (C-T) is an antibacterial combination of a novel antipseudomonal cephalosporin and a β-lactamase inhibitor. C-T was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2014 and by the European Medicines Agency in 2015 to treat complicated urinary tract infections, acute pyelonephritis, and complicated intra-abdominal infections. The Program to Assess Ceftolozane-Tazobactam Susceptibility (PACTS) monitors Gram-negative (GN) isolates resistant to C-T worldwide. In the current study, isolates were collected from patients hospitalized with bloodstream infections (BSIs) from 2015 to 2017 within the United States. Methods A total of 3,377 prevalence-based BSI GN isolates, including Escherichia coli (EC; 1,422), Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPN, 630), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PSA; 344), were collected during 2015 to 2017 from 32 PACTS hospitals in the United States. Isolates were tested for C-T susceptibility by CLSI broth microdilution method in a central monitoring laboratory (JMI Laboratories). Other antibiotics tested were amikacin (AMK), cefepime (FEP), ceftazidime (CAZ), colistin (COL), levofloxacin (LVX), meropenem (MEM), and piperacillin–tazobactam (TZP). Antibiotic-resistant phenotypes analyzed (CLSI, 2018) for EC and KPN included carbapenem-R (CR) and non-CR extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL); as well as CAZ-nonsusceptible (CAZ-NS), MEM-NS, and COL-NS PSA. Results Of the 3,377 BSI GN isolates, 3,219 (95.3%) had a C-T MIC ≤ 4 mg/L. The three most prevalent GN species isolated from BSIs were EC (42.1%), KPN (18.7%), and PSA (10.2%). The %S of C-T and comparators for the top three pathogens are shown in the table. C-T showed activity against these isolates with %S of ≥96.0% against all three species. Of the comparators tested, AMK and COL also had high %S against these isolates. Conclusion C-T demonstrated activity against the most prevalent contemporary GN isolates from BSIs in the US. C-T was the only beta-lactam that had ≥96%S against all three species: EC, KPN, and PSA. For PSA, C-T maintained activity (&gt;90%S) against isolates resistant to CAZ, TZP, and MEM. These data suggest that C-T may be a useful treatment for GN BSI. Disclosures S. J. R. Arends, Merck: Research Contractor, Research support. D.

Abstract Background To assess the mortality dynamics of patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa bloodstream infections (BSIs) and the influence of OprD deficiencies of the microorganism on early mortality. Methods A prospective multicentre observational study was conducted with 120 patients with P. aeruginosa BSIs occurring between May 2016 and April 2017 in six general hospitals in South Korea. PCR and sequencing were carried out to identify the alterations in oprD and the presence of virulence factors. Cox regression was used to estimate the risk factors for mortality at each timepoint and Kaplan–Meier survival analyses were performed to determine the mortality dynamics. Results During the 6 week follow-up, 10.8% (13/120) of the patients with P. aeruginosa BSIs died in 2 weeks, 14.2% (17/120) in 4 weeks and 20.0% (24/120) in 6 weeks, revealing a steep decrease in cumulative survival between the fourth and sixth weeks. ICU admission and SOFA score were risk factors for mortality in any weeks after BSI onset and causative OprD-defective P. aeruginosa had a risk tendency for mortality within 6 weeks. Among the 120 P. aeruginosa blood isolates, 14 were XDR, nine produced either IMP-6 or VIM-2 MBL, and 21 had OprD deficiency. Conclusions BSIs caused by OprD-defective P. aeruginosa resulted in a 2-fold higher 6 week mortality rate (33.3%) than that of BSIs caused by OprD-intact P. aeruginosa (17.2%), likely due to the decreased susceptibility to carbapenems and bacterial persistence in clinical settings.

ABSTRACT Whether multidrug resistance (MDR) is associated with mortality in patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa bloodstream infections (BSI) remains controversial. Here, we explored the prognostic factors of P. aeruginosa BSI with emphasis on antimicrobial resistance and virulence. All P. aeruginosa BSI episodes in a 5-year period were retrospectively analyzed. The impact in early (5-day) and late (30-day) crude mortality of host, antibiotic treatment, and pathogen factors was assessed by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Of 243 episodes, 93 (38.3%) were caused by MDR-PA. Crude 5-day (20%) and 30-day (33%) mortality was more frequent in patients with MDR-PA (34.4% versus 11.3%, P < 0.001 and 52.7% versus 21.3%, P < 0.001, respectively). Early mortality was associated with neutropenia (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 9.21; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.40 to 24.9; P < 0.001), increased Pitt score (aOR, 2.42; 95% CI, 1.34 to 4.36; P = 0.003), respiratory source (aOR, 3.23; 95% CI,2.01 to 5.16; P < 0.001), inadequate empirical therapy (aOR, 4.57; 95% CI, 1.59 to 13.1; P = 0.005), shorter time to positivity of blood culture (aOR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.80 to 0.97; P = 0.010), an exoU-positive genotype (aOR, 3.58; 95% CI, 1.31 to 9.79; P = 0.013), and the O11 serotype (aOR, 3.64; 95% CI, 1.20 to 11.1; P = 0.022). These risk factors were similarly identified for late mortality, along with an MDR phenotype (aOR, 2.18; 95% CI, 1.04 to 4.58; P = 0.040). Moreover, the O11 serotype (15.2%, 37/243) was common among MDR (78.4%, 29/37) and exoU-positive (89.2%, 33/37) strains. Besides relevant clinical variables and inadequate empirical therapy, pathogen-related factors such as an MDR phenotype, an exoU-positive genotype, and the O11 serotype adversely affect the outcome of P. aeruginosa BSI.
