A Prospective Study

Objective: To study the prevalence and incidence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase -producing microorganisms, microbiological characteristics and antimicrobial-susceptibility patterns. Methods: A prospective study involving all cases of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase -producing microorganisms among all bacteriological samples collected over a 1-year period from 11 November 2015 to 10 November 2016, in the Clinical and Molecular Microbiology Laboratory at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah. Detection of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing microorganisms and antimicrobial-susceptibility profiles were done using automated Vitek 2 system. Clinical data such as recent use of antibiotics or invasive devices were investigated as risk factors for multidrug resistance. Results: The prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing microorganisms was 5.4% (95% CI = 4.7% – 6.2%); for an incidence = 54 per 1,000 isolates-years. Distribution by species showed 70.0% Escherichia coli, 28.5% Klebsiella pneumoniae and 1.5% Proteus mirabilis. Vitek 2 system showed 6% of false positive ESBL detections by reference to confirmatory E-test. Antimicrobial- susceptibility tests showed that 86.5% of beta-lactamase-producing strains were resistant to ≥ 1 other antimicrobial class and 20% were multidrug resistant. Univariate logistic regression showed that the presence of multidrug resistance was significantly predicted by age (OR = 1.02; P = 0.026), use of urinary catheter (OR = 2.05; P = 0.046) and number of devices used (OR = 1.60; P = 0.046); only age (OR = 1.02; P = 0.022) was significant in the multivariate model. Conclusion: Clinicians and microbiologists should maintain a high level of alertness and contribute for effective screening and adequate treatment of infections caused by beta-lactamase-producing organisms according to international guidelines and the local epidemiological picture.

Esbl Producers

Background: In recent years, Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing microorganisms have complicated treatment of infections due to resistance of ESBL producing strains to a wide range of antimicrobials. Objective: Target of this study was to determine the prevalence of ESBL producing gramnegative bacteria in neonatal sepsis cases and to reveal the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of those isolated ESBL producers. Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study was carried out in Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) over a period of 12 months from January to December in 2016. Following isolation and identification of gram-negative bacteria from blood samples of suspected septicemic neonates, antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed by Kirby Bauer disk-diffusion method and ESBL producers were detected by Double Disk Synergy (DDS) test. Results: Among 52 Gram-negative bacteria isolated from 106 blood samples, 34.61% ESBL producers were detected and Enterobacter spp. (45%) was predominant followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (33.33%). None of the ESBL producers was resistant to colistin and tigecycline. All ESBL producing Acinetobacter baumannii, 77.78% and 66.67% of ESBL producing Enterobacter spp and Klebsiella spp. respectively showed resistance to meropenem. All ESBL producers were resistant to piperacillintazobactam. Conclusion: Appropriate measures should be taken to prevent the spread of ESBL producing strains by combining strategies for infection prevention, control and rational use of antibiotics.

ABSTRACT From 2002 to 2008, there was a significant increase in extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-positive Escherichia coli isolates in European intra-abdominal infections, from 4.3% in 2002 to 11.8% in 2008 (P < 0.001), but not for ESBL-positive Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates (16.4% to 17.9% [P > 0.05]). Hospital-associated isolates were more common than community-associated isolates, at 14.0% versus 6.5%, respectively, for E. coli (P < 0.001) and 20.9% versus 5.3%, respectively, for K. pneumoniae (P < 0.01). Carbapenems were consistently the most active drugs tested.

Abstract Background The use of antibiotic agents in the treatment of infectious diseases has greatly contributed to the decrease in morbidity and mortality, but these great advances in treatment are being undermined by the rapidly increasing antimicrobial resistant organisms. Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases are enzymes hydrolyzing the beta lactam antibiotics, including third generation cephalosporins and monobactams but not cephamycins and carbapenems. They pose a serious global health threat and have become a challenge for health care providers. The aim of this research was to assess the prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing Escherichia coli in University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital Ituku-Ozalla Enugu and to detect the risk factors for acquisition of the resistant organism. To proffer advice on antibiotic stewardship in clinical practice and public health interventions, to curb the spread of the resistant organisms in the hospital. Results Out of the 200 E. coli isolates, 70 (35.00%) were confirmed positive for extended-spectrum beta-lactamase production. Fifty-three (75.7%) were from hospital acquired infections. All the isolates were resistant to ampicillin, tetracycline and chloramphenicol while 68 (97.14%) of the 70 isolates were susceptible to imipenem. BlaTEM, blaSHV and blaTEM were detected in 66 (94%) of the 70 isolates. The ESBL bla genes detected were blaCTX-M (n = 26; 37.14%), blaTEM (n = 7; 10.00%), blaSHV (n = 2; 2.86%), blaCTX-M/TEM (n = 7; 10.0%), blaCTX-M/SHV (n = 14; 20.0%) and blaCTX-M/TEM/SHV (n = 10; 14.29%). The three bla genes were not detected in 4 (5.71%) of the isolates. Recent surgery, previous antibiotic and intensive care unit admission were the associated risk factors to infections caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing E. coli. Conclusion There is a high rate of infections caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing E. coli. Recent surgery, previous antibiotic and intensive care unit admission were associated risk factors.
