- Transferable Vancomycin Resistance in a Community-Associated MRSA Lineage(2014) ROSSI, Flavia; DIAZ, Lorena; WOLLAM, Aye; PANESSO, Diana; ZHOU, Yanjiao; RINCON, Sandra; NARECHANIA, Apurva; XING, Galen; GIOIA, Thais S. R. Di; DOI, Andre; TRAN, Truc T.; REYES, Jinnethe; MUNITA, Jose M.; CARVAJAL, Lina P.; HERNANDEZ-ROLDAN, Alejandra; BRANDAO, Denise; HEIJDEN, Inneke Marie van der; MURRAY, Barbara E.; PLANET, Paul J.; WEINSTOCK, George M.; ARIAS, Cesar A.We report the case of a patient from Brazil with a bloodstream infection caused by a strain of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) that was susceptible to vancomycin (designated BR-VSSA) but that acquired the vanA gene cluster during antibiotic therapy and became resistant to vancomycin (designated BR-VRSA). Both strains belong to the sequence type (ST) 8 community-associated genetic lineage that carries the staphylococcal chromosomal cassette mec (SCCmec) type IVa and the S. aureus protein A gene (spa) type t292 and are phylogenetically related to MRSA lineage USA300. A conjugative plasmid of 55,706 bp (pBRZ01) carrying the vanA cluster was identified and readily transferred to other staphylococci. The pBRZ01 plasmid harbors DNA sequences that are typical of the plasmid-associated replication genes rep24 or rep21 described in community-associated MRSA strains from Australia (pWBG745). The presence and dissemination of community-associated MRSA containing vanA could become a serious public health concern.

Kocak; KAZAK, E.; DAVID, M.; LEASE, E.; CORNAGLIA, G.; AKOVA, M.Treatment of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales bloodstream infections in solid organ transplant recipients is challenging. The objective of this study was to develop a specific score to predict mortality in solid organ transplant recipients with carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales bloodstream infections. A multinational, retrospective (2004-2016) cohort study (INCREMENT-SOT, ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02852902) was performed. The main outcome variable was 30-day all-cause mortality. The INCREMENT-SOT-CPE score was developed using logistic regression. The global cohort included 216 patients. The final logistic regression model included the following variables: INCREMENT-CPE mortality score >= 8 (8 points), no source control (3 points), inappropriate empirical therapy (2 points), cytomegalovirus disease (7 points), lymphopenia (4 points), and the interaction between INCREMENT-CPE score >= 8 and CMV disease (minus 7 points). This score showed an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.82 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.76-0.88) and classified patients into 3 strata: 0-7 (low mortality), 8-11 (high mortality), and 12-17 (very-high mortality). We performed a stratified analysis of the effect of monotherapy vs combination therapy among 165 patients who received appropriate therapy. Monotherapy was associated with higher mortality only in the very-high (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 2.82, 95% CI 1.13-7.06, P = .03) and high (HR 9.93, 95% CI 2.08-47.40, P = .004) mortality risk strata. A score-based algorithm is provided for therapy guidance.

- Environmental Clonal Spread of Azole-Resistant Candida parapsilosis with Erg11-Y132F Mutation Causing a Large Candidemia Outbreak in a Brazilian Cancer Referral Center(2021) THOMAZ, Danilo Y.; ALMEIDA, Joao N. de; SEJAS, Odeli N. E.; NEGRO, Gilda M. B. Del; CARVALHO, Gabrielle O. M. H.; GIMENES, Viviane M. F.; SOUZA, Maria Emilia B. de; ARASTEHFAR, Amir; CAMARGO, Carlos H.; MOTTA, Adriana L.; ROSSI, Flavia; PERLIN, David S.; FREIRE, Maristela P.; ABDALA, Edson; BENARD, GilClonal outbreaks due to azole-resistant Candida parapsilosis (ARCP) isolates have been reported in numerous studies, but the environmental niche of such isolates has yet to be defined. Herein, we aimed to identify the environmental niche of ARCP isolates causing unremitting clonal outbreaks in an adult ICU from a Brazilian cancer referral center. C. parapsilosis sensu stricto isolates recovered from blood cultures, pericatheter skins, healthcare workers (HCW), and nosocomial surfaces were genotyped by multilocus microsatellite typing (MLMT). Antifungal susceptibility testing was performed by the EUCAST (European Committee for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing) broth microdilution reference method and ERG11 was sequenced to determine the azole resistance mechanism. Approximately 68% of isolates were fluconazole-resistant (76/112), including pericatheter skins (3/3, 100%), blood cultures (63/70, 90%), nosocomial surfaces (6/11, 54.5%), and HCW's hands (4/28, 14.2%). MLMT revealed five clusters: the major cluster contained 88.2% of ARCP isolates (67/76) collected from blood (57/70), bed (2/2), pericatheter skin (2/3), from carts (3/7), and HCW's hands (3/27). ARCP isolates were associated with a higher 30 day crude mortality rate (63.8%) than non-ARCP ones (20%, p = 0.008), and resisted two environmental decontamination attempts using quaternary ammonium. This study for the first time identified ARCP isolates harboring the Erg11-Y132F mutation from nosocomial surfaces and HCW's hands, which were genetically identical to ARCP blood isolates. Therefore, it is likely that persisting clonal outbreak due to ARCP isolates was fueled by environmental sources. The resistance of Y132F ARCP isolates to disinfectants, and their potential association with a high mortality rate, warrant vigilant source control using effective environmental decontamination.
- Low frequency of ertapenem-resistant intra-abdominal isolates of Escherichia coli from Latin America: susceptibility, ESBL-occurrence, and molecular characterisation (SMART 2008-2009)(2012) HAWSER, Stephen P.; BOUCHILLON, Samuel K.; HOBAN, Daryl J.; BADAL, Robert E.; HACKEL, Meredith A.; LASCOLS, Christine A.; VILLEGAS, Maria V.; ROSSI, FlaviaThe Study for Monitoring Antimicrobial Resistance Trends is an ongoing multi-year surveillance study that tracks worldwide antimicrobial resistance trends among aerobic and facultatively anaerobic Gram-negative bacilli isolated from intra-abdominal infections. During 2008-2009, 1366 isolates of Escherichia coli were collected from 19 investigator sites in 11 Latin American countries. Of the 1366 isolates, 323 (23.6%) were extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-positive. Overall, the most effective agents tested were imipenem, ertapenem, and amikacin with susceptibilities of >= 96%. Against ESBL-positive isolates, only imipenem and ertapenem exhibited susceptibility >= 90%. Based on the use of the new Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute clinical breakpoints for ertapenem (resistance >= 1 mu g/ml), resistance to ertapenem among all E. coli isolates was only 0.3% (4/1366) throughout the region, ranging from 0% in several countries up to 1.2% in Ecuador. Against ESBL-positive isolates only, resistance to ertapenem in Latin America overall was 0.9% (3/323), with a maximum of 9.1% (1/11) observed in Argentina.
