    Polymyxin use as a risk factor for colonization or infection with polymyxin-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii after liver transplantation
    (2014) FREIRE, M. P.; HEIJDEN, I. M. Van Der; PRADO, G. V. B.; CAVALCANTE, L. S.; BOSZCZOWSKI, I.; BONAZZI, P. R.; ROSSI, F.; GUIMARAES, T.; D'ALBUQUERQUE, L. A. C.; COSTA, S. F.; ABDALA, E.
    Introduction Acinetobacter baumannii is a leading agent of healthcare-associated infection. The objective of this study was to evaluate cases of colonization or infection with polymyxin-resistant A.baumannii (PRAB) in liver transplant recipients and to identify the risk factors for the acquisition of PRAB. Methods We evaluated all patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT) between January and November of 2011. The exclusion criterion was death within the first 72h after transplant. Patients were screened for PRAB through weekly rectal and inguinal swabs during their stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) and at ICU discharge. Patients who came from other hospitals or had been treated in the emergency room for >72h were screened at ICU admission. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for polymyxins were determined by broth microdilution, and clonality was determined by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. The stepwise logistic regression was used to identify risk factors related to acquisition of PRAB, and Cox forward regression used to identify risk factors for 60-day mortality. Results We evaluated 65 patients submitted to LT, among whom PRAB was isolated in 7, 4 of whom developed infection. The MICs for polymyxin E ranged from 16 to 128mg/mL. All patients with PRAB required dialysis. The median time of polymyxin use before PRAB isolation was 21days. These 4 included 1 case of primary bloodstream infection (BSI), which was treated with the carbapenem-polymyxin combination; 1 case of surgical site infection, which was treated with gentamicin, polymyxin, ampicillin-sulbactam, and tigecycline; and 2 cases of pneumonia, treated with the combination of carbapenem-polymyxin. In the case of BSI and in 1 of the cases of pneumonia, the treatment was considered successful. Mortality was 71% among the cases, compared with 33% among the non-cases. Conclusion In the final model of the survival analysis, PRAB colonization or infection after LT was independently associated with mortality. One predominant clone was identified. The only risk factor identified in the multivariate analysis was polymyxin use. PRAB was an agent with high mortality, and the most important risk factor associated with colonization or infection for such bacterium was polymyxin use.

    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.

    Infection rate and risk factors associated with infections related to external ventricular drain
    (2011) CAMACHO, E. F.; BOSZCZOWSKI, I.; BASSO, M.; JENG, B. C. P.; FREIRE, M. P.; GUIMARAES, T.; TEIXEIRA, M. J.; COSTA, S. F.
    To describe incidence rates and risk factors associated with external ventricular drain (EVD)-related infections at a tertiary Brazilian teaching hospital. The patient cohort consisted of all patients at a major teaching hospital in Brazil with an EVD during the period 1 April 2007 to 30 June 2008 (15 months). Patients were followed up for 30 days after catheter removal. According to the Center for Diseases Control and Prevention criteria for meningitis/ventriculitis, all of the central nervous system (CNS) infections that occurred during this period could be considered to be meningitis or ventriculitis related to EVD placement. Infection rates were calculated using different denominators, such as (1) per patient (incidence), (2) per procedure, and (3) per 1,000 catheter-days (drain-associated infection rate). Patient demographic data, medical history of underlying diseases, antibiotic prophylaxis usage, American Society of Anesthesiologists Score classification, duration of surgery and hospitalization, length of time the EVD was in place, and overall mortality were evaluated during the study period. A logistic regression model was developed to identify factors associated with infection. A total of 119 patients, 130 EVD procedures, and 839 catheter-days were evaluated. The incidence of infection was 18.3%, the infection rate was 16.9% per procedure, and the drain-associated infection rate was 22.4 per 1,000 catheter-days; 77% of the infections were caused by Gram-negative micro-organisms. Only 75% of patients received antibiotic prophylaxis. The infection rate increased with length of the hospital stay. The length of time the catheter was in place was the only independent risk factor associated with infection (p = 0.0369). The incidence of EVD-related infections is high in our hospital, Gram-negative micro-organisms were the most frequent causal agents identified and length of time that the catheter was in place contributed to the infection rate.

    Impact of an Educational Intervention Implanted in a Neurological Intensive Care Unit on Rates of Infection Related to External Ventricular Drains
    (2013) CAMACHO, Eduardo Fernandes; BOSZCZOWSKI, Icaro; FREIRE, Maristela Pinheiro; PINTO, Fernando Campos Gomes; GUIMARAES, Thais; TEIXEIRA, Manuel Jacobsen; COSTA, Silvia Figueiredo
    Background: Studies on the implantation of care routines showed reduction on EVD catheter-related infections rates; however zero tolerance is difficult to be achieved. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of an educational intervention on the maximal reduction on rates of EVD-related infections. Methodology/Principal Findings: The quasi-experimental (before-after intervention) study occurred in two phases: pre-intervention, from April 2007 to July 2008, and intervention, from August 2008 to July 2010. Patients were followed for 30 days after the removal of the EVD, and EVD-related infections were considered as only those with laboratorial confirmation in the CSF. Observations were made of the care of the EVD and compliance with Hygiene of the Hands (HH), a routine of care was drawn up, training was given, and intervention was made to reduce the time the EVD catheter remained in place. Results: during the study, 178 patients were submitted to 194 procedures, corresponding to 1217 EVD catheters-day. Gram-negative agents were identified in 71.4% of the infections during the pre-intervention period and in 60% during the intervention period. During the study, EVD-related infection rates were reduced from 9.5% to 4.8% per patient, from 8.8% to 4.4% per procedure, and the incidence density dropped from 14.0 to 6.9 infections per 1000 catheters-day (p = 0.027). The mortality reduced 12% (from 42% to 30%). Conclusions/Significance: During one year after the fourth intervention, no microbiologically identified infection was documented. In light of these results, educational intervention proved to be a useful tool in reducing these rates and showed also impact on mortality.

    POLYCLONAL OUTBREAK OF BLOODSTREAM INFECTIONS CAUSED BY Burkholderia cepacia COMPLEX IN HEMATOLOGY AND BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT OUTPATIENT UNITS
    (2014) BOSZCZOWSKI, Icaro; PRADO, Gladys Villas Boas do; DALBEN, Mirian F.; TELLES, Roberto C. P.; FREIRE, Maristela Pinheiro; GUIMARAES, Thais; OLIVEIRA, Maura S.; ROSA, Juliana F.; SOARES, Robson E.; LLACER, Pedro Enrique Dorlhiac; DULLEY, Frederico Luiz; COSTA, Silvia F.; LEVIN, Anna S.
    Aim: The objective was to describe an outbreak of bloodstream infections by Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) in bone marrow transplant and hematology outpatients. Methods: On February 15, 2008 a Bcc outbreak was suspected. 24 cases were identified. Demographic and clinical data were evaluated. Environment and healthcare workers' (HCW) hands were cultured. Species were determined and typed. Reinforcement of hand hygiene, central venous catheter (CVC) care, infusion therapy, and maintenance of laminar flow cabinet were undertaken. 16 different HCWs had cared for the CVCs. Multi-dose heparin and saline were prepared on counter common to both units. Findings: 14 patients had B. multivorans (one patient had also B. cenopacia), six non-multivorans Bcc and one did not belong to Bcc. Clone A B. multivorans occurred in 12 patients (from Hematology); in 10 their CVC had been used on February 11/12. Environmental and HCW cultures were negative. All patients were treated with meropenem, and ceftazidime lock-therapy. Eight patients (30%) were hospitalized. No deaths occurred. After control measures (multidose vial for single patient; CVC lock with ceftazidime; cleaning of laminar flow cabinet; hand hygiene improvement; use of cabinet to store prepared medication), no new cases occurred. Conclusions: This polyclonal outbreak may be explained by a common source containing multiple species of Bcc, maybe the laminar flow cabinet common to both units. There may have been contamination by B. multivorans (clone A) of multi-dose vials.

    Phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of a carbapenem-resistant Serratia marcescens cohort and outbreak: describing an opportunistic pathogen
    (2022) PRADO, Gladys; MENDES, Elisa Teixeira; MARTINS, Roberta Cristina Ruedas; PERDIGAO-NETO, Lauro Vieira; FREIRE, Maristela Pinheiro; MARCHI, Ana Paula; CORTES, Marina Farrel; LIMA, Victor Augusto Camarinha de Castro; ROSSI, Flavia; GUIMARAES, Thais; LEVIN, Anna Sara; COSTA, Silvia Figueiredo
    Serratia marcescens is an emerging opportunistic pathogen with high genetic diversity. This article describes the microbiological characteristics of isolates and the risk factors for infections caused by carbapenem-resistant S. marcescens. A retrospective study of patients colonized (n=43) and infected (n= 20) with carbapenem-resistant S. marcescens over a 3-year period was conducted. Polymerase chain reaction for carbapenemase genes and molecular typing of all available strains was performed. Forty-two isolates were analysed, including three environmental samples identified during an outbreak. Thirty-five carbapenem-resistant S. marcescens carried bla KPC-2, one isolate was bla(NDM)-positive and four isolates carried bla(OXA)-101. The genomes were grouped into three clusters with 100% bootstrap; three patterns of mutations on ompC and ompF were found. The strains carried virulence genes related to invasion and haemolysis, and the environmental strains presented fewer mutations on the virulence genes than the clinical strains. Multi-variate analysis showed that previous use of polymyxin (P= 0.008) was an independent risk factor for carbapenem-resistant S. marcescens infection. This study highlighted that bla KPC-2 in association with ompC or ompF mutation was the most common mechanism of resistance in the study hospital, and that previous use of polymyxin was an independent risk factor for carbapenem-resistant S. marcescens. There was a predominant clone, including the environmental isolates, suggesting that crosstransmission was involved in the dissemination of this pathogen.

    Surgical site infections in liver transplant recipients in the model for end-stage liver disease era: An analysis of the epidemiology, risk factors, and outcomes
    (2013) FREIRE, Maristela Pinheiro; OSHIRO, Isabel C. V. Soares; BONAZZI, Patricia Rodrigues; GUIMARAES, Thais; FIGUEIRA, Estela Regina Ramos; BACCHELLA, Telesforo; COSTA, Silvia Figueiredo; D'ALBUQUERQUE, Luiz Augusto Carneiro; ABDALA, Edson
    In recipients of liver transplantation (LT), surgical site infection (SSIs) are among the most common types of infection occurring in the first 60 days after LT. In 2007, the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) scoring system was adopted as the basis for prioritizing organ allocation. Patients with higher MELD scores are at higher risk for developing SSIs as well as other health care-associated infections. However, there have been no studies comparing the incidence of SSIs in the pre-MELD era with the incidence in the period since its adoption. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to evaluate the incidence, etiology, epidemiology, and outcomes of post-LT SSIs in those 2 periods and to identify risk factors for SSIs. We evaluated all patients who underwent LT over a 10-year period (2002-2011). SSI cases were identified through active surveillance. The primary outcome measure was an SSI during the first 60 days after LT. Risk factors were analyzed via logistic regression, and 60-day survival rates were evaluated via Cox regression. We evaluated 543 patients who underwent LT 597 times. The SSI rates in the 2002-2006 and 2007-2011 periods were 30% and 24%, respectively (P=0.21). We identified the following risk factors for SSIs: retransplantation, the transfusion of more than 2 U of blood during LT, dialysis, cold ischemia for >400 minutes, and a cytomegalovirus infection. The overall 60-day survival rate was 79%. Risk factors for 60-day mortality were retransplantation, dialysis, and a longer surgical time. The use of the MELD score modified the incidence and epidemiology of SSIs only during the first year after its adoption. Risks for SSIs were related more to intraoperative conditions and intercurrences after LT than to a patient's status before LT. Liver Transpl 19:1011-1019, 2013. (c) 2013 AASLD.

    Brazilian perspective: antimicrobial stewardship in solid organ transplant
    (2022) PORTO, Ana Paula Matos; TAVARES, Bruno de Melo; ASSIS, Denise Brandao de; MENDES, Elisa Teixeira; GIRAO, Evelyne Santana; PERDIGAO NETO, Lauro Vieira; FALCAO, Maria Alice Pimentel; OLIVEIRA, Maura Salaroli de; FREIRE, Maristela Pinheiro; GUIMARAES, Thais; ARANTES, Tiago; LEVIN, Anna Sara; COSTA, Silvia Figueiredo
    Background: The incidence of multidrug resistant organisms (MDROs) infections among solid organ transplant (SOT) patients is very high in Brazil. Methods: This review will discuss antimicrobial use and resistance in SOT in Brazil, highlighting the main barriers and facilitators for implementation of a antimicrobial stewardship programme (ASP). Results: The most common group of MDROs is carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus. Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CREs) are the most frequent MDROs and have been reported as donor-derived as well. Although ASPs are mandatory in the country, there is a lack of information regarding ASPs in SOT recipients. The main barriers for the implementation of ASPs in Brazilian hospitals are lack of electronic medical records, absence of national guidelines specific to SOT recipients, lack of recommendations on surveillance culture to evaluate colonization and transmission of donor-derived MDROs, limited availability of rapid diagnostic tests, and insufficient pharmacist and clinician time allocated to ASP activities in some SOT centers. Conclusions: The incidence of MDRO infections caused mainly by VREs and CREs is very high in the country. There is limited data regarding antimicrobial use among SOT recipients in Brazil. The absence of antimicrobial stewardship national guidelines specific to SOT recipients is one of the main barriers for the implementation of ASPs in Brazilian hospitals.
