Introduction: Bloodstream infection (BSI) caused by Enterobacteriaceae is associated with mortality in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. The aim of this study is to identify the risk factors and outcomes related to BSIs caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae in cancer patients. Methodology: Hematology/oncology patients, who were diagnosed with BSIs caused by Enterobacteriaceae by positive blood cultures were evaluated retrospectively. Patients were divided into two groups by ESBL-positive and ESBL-negative Enterobacteriaceae bacteremia. Patients' demographic features, underlying conditions, comorbidity, neutrophil count, duration of neutropenia, antibiotic use in the previous three months before infection, mechanical ventilation, steroid use, central venous catheter implementation, total parenteral nutrition (TPN), hospitalization in the past three months, stay in intensive care unit, quinolone prophylaxis, and history of infection with ESBL-producing Enterobactericeae were evaluated. Risk factors related to BSIs caused by ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae and mortality were assessed. Results: A total of 122 patients were evaluated retrospectively. Quinolone propyhlaxis, TPN, infection with Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase positive ESBL-P Enterobacteriaceae during the previous three months, treatment with piperasillin-tazobactam or carbapenems in the previous three months were found to be independent risk factors for ESBL-P BSIs. Longer duration of neutropenia before BSI and complication at the beginning of BSI were found to be independent risk factors for mortality related to infection. Conclusions: ESBL-producing Enterobacteriacea should be treated with an appropriate antibiotic that is associated with better outcomes in hematology/oncology patients with BSIs. History of broad-spectrum antibiotic use and stay in hospital in the previous three months should be taken into consideration upon commencing antibiotic therapy.

Introduction: Bloodstream infection caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing pathogens has become a serious concern worldwide. The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors for bacteremia due to ESBL-producing Escherichia coli in a Turkish hospital. Methodology: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with E. coli bacteremia in a tertiary care centre from January 2007 to October 2011. Data from patients such as demographic features, underlying conditions, and antibiotic exposure were analysed. Results: A total of 113 patients with bacteremia due to E. coli were included and data from patients with ESBL-producing E. coli (case patients) were compared to those with non-ESBL-producing E. coli (control patients). The frequency of ESBL producers was 38.9% (44/113). Exposure to fluoroquinolones and cephalosporins, history of intra-abdominal surgery intervention, and presence of central venous catheteter and urinary catheteter were more frequently detected among case patients (P < 0.05). Independent risk factors for bacteremia due to ESBL-producing E. coli were exposure to fluoroquinolones (OR 13.39, 95% CI 1.28-140.03) and cephalosporins (OR 3.48, 95% CI 1.03-11.74). Conclusions: Previous use of fluoroquinolone and cephalosporin in patients with bacteremia caused by E. coli increased the risk for ESBL-producing strains.

AbstractBackgroundVarious bacterial putative virulence factors are involved in the pathogenesis of bacterial infection. However, the effect of comorbidities or infection syndrome in the association of virulence factors and mortality remains inconclusive.MethodThis study addressed whether specific sequence type (ST) and virulence factors of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase–producingEscherichia coli(ESBL-EC) are associated with different outcomes in patients with bloodstream infection.121 adults from southern Taiwan with ESBL-producingE. colibloodstream infections were enrolled during a 6-year period. Demographic data, including infection syndromes, underlying disease and outcomes, were collected. The virulence factors in isolates were analyzed by PCR and multilocus sequence typing.ResultPositivity for the virulence genes iha,hlyD,sat,iut,fyu,malX,ompT,uspandtraTwas associated with ST131 positivity (P<0.05). Some ESBL-EC virulence genes associated with urinary tract infection (UTI) were revealed. Positivity for ST405 and the virulence genesiroNandisswas significantly associated with increased 30-day mortality (death within 30 days) on univariate analysis (P<0.05). Independent risk factors of 30-day mortality in bacteremic patients with UTI included underlying chronic liver disease and malignancy. ST131 was borderline associated with 30-day mortality. Independent risk factors associated with 30-day mortality among bacteremic patients without UTI included comorbidities andiroNpositivity.ConclusionIn bacteremic patients with UTI, and the ST131 clone was borderline associated with mortality. Positivity for the virulence geneiroNmay be linked to mortality in bacteremic patients without UTI.

The aim of the present study was to monitor the presence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing E. coli on farm A with the history of previous use of ceftiofur in suckling pigletsand to analyse the risk factors of selection and dissemination of ESBL producers in the production herd. In the year of 2014, a total of 411 samples (rectal swabs or faeces)from pigs of various age categories (sows, gilts and suckling piglets) were collected. The sampling was performed more than 24 months after the ban of ceftiofur on the farm.The sows and gilts were sampled repeatedly before and after farrowing. All collected samples were directly cultivated on MacConkey agar (MCA) containing cefotaxime (2 mg/l) and obtained sub-cultures were tested for ESBL production by double disc synergy test. According to our results, all gilts were negative for ESBL-producing E. coli in the introduction period, however, the excretion of ESBL-producing E. coli was observed before and after delivery. Most of the new-born piglets from positive sows and gilts shed ESBL-producing E. coli early after birth. All tested ESBL-producing isolates were resistant to multiple antimicrobials, suggesting that antibiotics from other groups used for therapy co-select for ESBL producers in pigs on the studied farm. Intestinal colonization of lactating sows and their offspring as well as survival of ESBL-producing E. coli in the farm environment should be recognised as important risk factors of circulation and long-time persistence of ESBL producers in the herd.

Abstract Background Community-acquired extended-spectrum beta-lactamase–producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL) infections are an evolving public health problem. Identifying predictive risk factors may improve patient management. Methods We identified 251 adult inpatients admitted to a 22-hospital system with an ESBL urinary tract infection (UTI) between 2001 and 2016. Cases were matched 1:1 with controls who had a UTI at admission with non-ESBL Enterobacteriaceae. Cases with a history of ESBL infections or hospitalization within 3 months of index admission were excluded. Univariate and multiple logistic regression were used to identify risk factors associated with ESBL UTIs. Results In univariate analysis, history of repeated UTIs, neurogenic bladder, urinary catheter presence at admission, and exposure to outpatient third-generation cephalosporins or fluoroquinolones within 3 months were associated with higher risk of ESBL UTIs. When controlling for severity of illness and comorbid conditions, history of repeated UTIs (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 6.40; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.42–12.66; P &lt; .001), presence of urinary catheter at admission (aOR, 2.36; 95% CI, 1.15–4.98; P &lt; .05), and prior antibiotic exposure (aOR, 7.98; 95% CI, 2.92–28.19; P &lt; .001) remained associated with risk of ESBL infection. Conclusions Patients in the community with indwelling urinary catheters, history of recurrent UTIs, or recent antimicrobial use are at higher risk for de novo ESBL Enterobacteriaceae UTIs.

In South Western Indian ocean (IO), Extended-Spectrum &beta;-Lactamase producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL) are a main public health issue. In livestock, ESBL burden was unknown. The aim of this study was estimating the prevalence of ESBL on commercial farms in Reunion, Mayotte and Madagascar and genes involved. Secondly, risk factors of ESBL occurrence in broiler, beef cattle and pig farms were explored. In 2016-2017, commercial farms were sampled using boot swabs and samples stored at 4&deg;C before microbiological analysis for phenotypical ESBL and gene characterization. A semi-directive questionnaire was performed. Prevalences observed in all production types and territories were elevated, except for beef cattle in Reunion which differed significantly. The most common ESBL gene was the CTX-M-1 subtype. Generalized linear models explaining ESBL occurrence varied between livestock production sectors and allowed identifying main protective (e.g., water quality control and detergent use for cleaning) and risk factors (e.g., recent antibiotic use, other farmers visiting the exploitation, pet presence). This study is the first to explore tools for antibiotic resistance management in IO farms. It provides interesting hypothesis to explore about antibiotic use in IO and ESBL transmission between pig, beef cattle and humans in Madagascar.
