    Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae among kidney transplant recipients - insights on the risk of acquisition and CRE infection
    (2021) FREIRE, Maristela P.; CARVALHO, Laina B.; REUSING JR., Jose Otto; SPADAO, Fernanda; LOPES, Max Igor B. F.; NAHAS, William C.; DAVID-NETO, Elias; PIERROTTI, Ligia C.
    Background Kidney transplant recipients are a risk group for carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae infection. Objectives This study aimed to identify risk factors for CRE acquisition and infection among kidney transplant recipients. Methods We conducted a case-control study; we defined the case as kidney transplant recipient with positive culture for carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae identified between January 2010 and February 2019. Controls were chosen among kidney transplant recipients hospitalized in the same period of cases (1:2). Surveillance culture for carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae was performed at admission and weekly during hospital stay. The risk factors analysis for carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae infection was performed among patients colonized by these bacteria. Results We identified 331 patients colonized with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae; The median time from transplantation to first carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae positive culture was 42 days (range from 3 to 7399 days); 125(37.8%) patients developed infection; the most common site was urinary tract. Risk factors for carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae acquisition were recipient age >45-year, diabetes nephropathy, donor age >55-year, ureteral stent at kidney transplantation, delay of graft function, median lymphocytes count <800cells/mm(3), and acute cellular rejection. Risk factors for carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae infection were recipient age at CRE acquisition >50-year; median lymphocytes count <= 700 cells/mm(3), carbapenem use, and colonization by polymyxin-resistant strain. Patients colonized by polymyxin and carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae strain who used carbapenem had a 93.8% probability of developing infection by this agent. Conclusion Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae acquisition after kidney transplant is related to graft conditions, immunosuppression degree. Among carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae colonized patients, special attention is needed for those harbouring polymyxin-resistant strains.

    Institutional protocol adherence in the incidence of recurrent urinary tract infection after kidney transplantation
    (2020) FREIRE, Maristela P.; MARTINHO, Lorena; V, Clara Mendes; SPADAO, Fernanda; PAULA, Flavio Jota De; NAHAS, William C.; DAVID-NETO, Elias; PIERROTTI, Ligia C.
    Objectives: Recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTIs) occur frequently after kidney transplantation (KT), however their optimal management remains undefined. This study aimed to identify risk factors for rUTI and to validate a protocol for UTI and rUTI treatment after KT. Methods: This retrospective cohort study involved patients undergoing KT between January 2013 and July 2016. Patients were followed-up from day of KT until graft loss, death or end of follow-up (31 December 2018). We analysed all episodes of symptomatic UTI. The main outcome measure was rUTI after KT. Analysis was done per episode in a multilevel approach; patient features were considered in the distal level and UTI features in the proximal level. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed by Cox regression. A propensity score was used to adjust the risk of patients with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. Results: During the study period, 787 patients underwent KT, of whom 152 (19.3%) developed 356 UTI episodes. The most common micro-organisms wereEscherichia coli (165/356; 46.3%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (101/356; 28.4%). Multidrug-resistant micro-organisms were isolated in 161 UTIs (45.2%). Risk factors for rUTI were diabetic nephropathy as the cause of end-stage renal disease (P = 0.02), UTI in first 180 days after KT (P = 0.04), anatomic alteration of the urinary tract at UTI diagnosis (P = 0.004) and length of time to effective therapy (P = 0.002); UTI treatment duration according to institutional protocol (P = 0.04) was the only protective factor identified. Conclusion: Appropriate therapy duration has an impact on rUTI prevention after KT. (C) 2020 The Authors.

    Critical points and potential pitfalls of outbreak of IMP-1-producing carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa among kidney transplant recipients: a case-control study
    (2021) FREIRE, M. P.; CAMARGO, C. H.; YAMADA, A. Y.; NAGAMORI, F. O.; JUNIOR, J. O. Reusing; SPADAO, F.; CURY, A. P.; ROSSI, F.; NAHAS, W. C.; DAVID-NETO, E.; PIERROTTI, L. C.
    Background: Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) infection after kidney transplantation (KT) is associated with high mortality. Aim: To analyse an outbreak of infection/colonization with IMP-1-producing CRPA on a KT ward. Methods: A case-control study was conducted. Cases were identified through routine surveillance culture and real-time polymerase chain reaction for carbapenemase performed directly from rectal swab samples. Controls were randomly selected from patients hospitalized on the same ward during the same period, at a ratio of 3:1. Strain clonality was analysed through pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), and whole-genome sequencing was performed for additional strain characterization. Findings: CRPA was identified in 37 patients, in 51.4% through surveillance cultures and in 49.6% through clinical cultures. The median persistence of culture positivity was 42.5 days. Thirteen patients (35.1%) presented a total of 15 infections, of which seven (46.7%) were in the urinary tract; among those, 30-day mortality rate was 46.2%. PFGE analysis showed that all of the strains shared the same pulsotype. Multilocus sequence typing analysis identified the sequence type as ST446. Risk factors for CRPA acquisition were hospital stay >10 days, retransplantation, urological surgical reintervention after KT, use of carbapenem or ciprofloxacin in the last three months and low median lymphocyte count in the last three months.

    (2023) PEREZ-NADALES, Elena; FERNANDEZ-RUIZ, Mario; NATERA, Alejandra M.; GUTIERREZ-GUTIERREZ, Belen; MULARONI, Alessandra; RUSSELLI, Giovanna; PIERROTTI, Ligia Camera; FREIRE, Maristela Pinheiro; FALCONE, Marco; TISEO, Giusy; TUMBARELLO, Mario; RAFFAELLI, Francesca; ABDALA, Edson; BODRO, Marta; GERVASI, Elena; FARINAS, Maria Carmen; SEMINARI, Elena M.; CASTON, Juan Jose; MARIN-SANZ, Juan Antonio; GALVEZ-SOTO, Victor; RANA, Meenakshi M.; LOECHES, Belen; MARTIN-DAVILA, Pilar; PASCUAL, Alvaro; RODRIGUEZ-BANO, Jesus; AGUADO, Jose Maria; MARTINEZ-MARTINEZ, Luis; TORRE-CISNEROS, Julian; REIPI INCREMENT-SOT Study Grp
    We aimed to compare the efficacy of ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI) versus the best available therapy (BAT) in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients with bloodstream infection caused by carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (CPKP-BSI). A retrospective (2016-2021) observational cohort study was performed in 14 INCREMENT-SOT centers (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02852902; Impact of Specific Antimicrobials and MIC Values on the Outcome of Bloodstream Infections Due to ESBL-or Carbapenemaseproducing Enterobacterales in Solid Organ Transplantation: an Observational Multinational Study). Outcomes were 14-day and 30-day clinical success (complete resolution of attributable manifestations, adequate source control, and negative follow-up blood cultures) and 30-day all-cause mortality. Multivariable logistic and Cox regression analyses adjusted for the propensity score to receive CAZ-AVI were constructed. Among 210 SOT recipients with CPKP-BSI, 149 received active primary therapy with CAZ-AVI (66/149) or BAT (83/ 149). Patients treated with CAZ-AVI had higher 14-day (80.7% vs 60.6%, P =.011) and 30 day (83.1% vs 60.6%, P = .004) clinical success and lower 30-day mortality (13.25% vs 27.3%, P =.053) than those receiving BAT. In the adjusted analysis, CAZ-AVI increased the probability of 14-day (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 2.65; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.036.84; P = .044) and 30-day clinical success (aOR, 3.14; 95% CI, 1.17-8.40; P = .023). In contrast, CAZ-AVI therapy was not independently associated with 30-day mortality. In the CAZ-AVI group, combination therapy was not associated with better outcomes. In conclusion, CAZ-AVI may be considered a first-line treatment in SOT recipients with CPKP-BSI.

    Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae Acquired Before Liver Transplantation: Impact on Recipient Outcomes
    (2017) FREIRE, Maristela Pinheiro; OSHIRO, Isabel C. V. S.; PIERROTTI, Ligia C.; BONAZZI, Patricia R.; OLIVEIRA, Larissa M. de; SONG, Alice T. W.; CAMARGO, Carlos H.; HEIJDEN, Inneke M. van der; ROSSI, Flavia; COSTA, Silvia F.; D'ALBUQUERQUE, Luiz A. C.; ABDALA, Edson
    Background. Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) is an emergent microorganism of infections after liver transplant (LT). The aim of this study was to analyze the risk factors for CRE acquisition and infection after LT. Methods. This was a prospective cohort study involving patients who underwent LT in the 2010 to 2014 period. Surveillance cultures for CRE were collected immediately before LT and weekly thereafter until hospital discharge. Results. We analyzed 386 patients undergoing a total of 407 LTs. Before LT, 68 (17.6%) patients tested positive for CRE, 11 (16.2%) of those patients having CRE infection, whereas 119 (30.8%) patients acquired CRE after LT. Post-LT CRE infection was identified in 59 (15.7%) patients: Klebsiella pneumoniae was isolated in 83.2%; surgical site infection was the most common type of infection (46.7%). Multivariate analysis showed that post-LT dialysis was the only risk factor for post-LT CRE acquisition. Eighty-two percent of patients who underwent 3 or more post-LT dialysis sessions and acquired CRE before LT evolved with post-LT CRE infection. Other risk factors for CRE infection were acquisition of CRE post-LT, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score greater than 32, combined transplantation, and reoperation. Patients who acquired CRE before LT had a high risk of developing CRE infection (P < 0.001). Conclusions. Measures for minimizing that risk, including altering the antibiotic prophylaxis, should be investigated and implemented.

    Role of Lock Therapy for Long-Term Catheter-Related Infections by Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria
    (2018) FREIRE, Maristela P.; PIERROTTI, Ligia C.; ZERATI, Antonio E.; BENITES, Luciana; MOTTA-LEAL FILHO, Joaquim Mauricio da; IBRAHIM, Karim Y.; ARAUJO, Pedro H.; ABDALA, Edson
    The management of long-term central venous catheter (LTCVC) infections by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria in cancer patient is a challenge. The objectives of this study were to analyze outcomes in cancer patients with LTCVC-associated infection, identify risks for unfavorable outcomes, and determine the impact of MDR bacteria and antibiotic lock therapy (ALT) in managing such infections. We evaluated all LTCVC-associated infections treated between January 2009 and December 2016. Infections were reported in accordance with international guidelines for catheter-related infections. The outcome measures were 30-day mortality and treatment failure. We analyzed risk factors by Cox forward-stepwise regression. We identified 296 LTCVC-associated infections; 212 (71.6%) were classified as bloodstream infections (BSIs). The most common agent was Staphylococcus aureus. Forty-six (21.7%) infections were due to MDR Gram-negative bacteria. ALT was used in 62 (29.2%) patients, with a 75.9% success rate. Risk factors identified for failure of the initial treatment were having a high sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score at diagnosis of infection and being in palliative care; introduction of ALT at the start of treatment was identified as a protective factor. Risk factors identified for 30-day mortality after LTCVC-associated infection were a high SOFA score at diagnosis, infection with MDR bacteria, and palliative care; introduction of ALT at the start of treatment, hematological malignancies, and adherence to an institutional protocol for the management of LTCVC-associated infection were identified as protective factors. Despite the high incidence of infection with MDR bacteria, ALT improves the outcome of LTCVC-associated infection in cancer patients.

    Infection with Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in cancer patients
    (2015) FREIRE, M. P.; PIERROTTI, L. C.; FILHO, H. H. C.; IBRAHIM, K. Y.; MAGRI, A. S. G. K.; BONAZZI, P. R.; HAJAR, L.; DIZ, M. P. E.; PEREIRA, J.; HOFF, P. M.; ABDALA, E.
    Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing K. pneumoniae (KPC-Kp) is an emergent pathogen in healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). The aim of this study was to describe HAIs due to KPC-Kp, as well as identify mortality risk factors in cancer patients. In patients diagnosed with HAIs due to KPC-Kp between January 2009 and July 2013, we evaluated only the first infection episode of each patient, analyzing mortality separately for patients treated for a parts per thousand yen48 h with at least one antimicrobial agent proven to display in vitro activity against KPC-Kp. We evaluated variables related to the malignancy, the severity and characteristics of the HAI, and the antimicrobial therapy. We identified 83 HAIs due to KPC-Kp. The 30-day mortality was 57.8 % for all infections and 72.7 % for bacteremic infections. Of the 83 patients, 60 patients received a parts per thousand yen48 h of appropriate treatment and 44 (53 %) developed bacteremia. Ten patients (12 %) were neutropenic at HAI diagnosis and 33 (39.8 %) had infection at the tumor site. The most common HAI was urinary tract infection, seen in 26 patients (31.3 %), followed by primary bloodstream infection, seen in 24 patients (28.9 %). Forty-four patients (73.3 %) received combination antimicrobial therapy, most often including polymyxin (68.3 %). Risk factors for 30-day mortality are high sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, need for intensive care stay at diagnosis of infection, and acute kidney injury; the removal of invasive devices related to infection and treatment with effective antibiotics for KPC-Kp are protective factors. In cancer patients, high mortality is associated with HAI due to KPC-Kp and mortality risk factors are more often related to acute infection than to the underlying disease.
