(1984 – 2013) 306 CF Patients 34 (11%) Patients ≥ 1 sputum (+) with Achromobacter 24 Transient Colonizers 10 (3.3%) Persistent colonizers ≥ 50% of all cultures in a 1-year period (minimum of 3 cultures) ≥ 1 positive culture and not meeting criteria for “persistent” Clinical outcomes of Achromobacter species in adult cystic fibrosis patients: A cohort study Edwards BD, 1 Somayaji R, 1, Greysson-Wong J, 2 Storey DG, 3 Rabin HR, 1,2 Surette MG, 2,4.5 Parkins MD 1,2 Background Achromobacter species are emerging pathogens in cystic fibrosis (CF) with reported prevalence ranging from 5-29% There is a paucity of knowledge regarding the pathogenicity, transmission characteristics, and clinical impact of this organism Methods Patients attending the Southern Alberta Adult CF clinic between 1984 – 2013 with ≥ 1 sputum culture positive for Achromobacter species were included Patients were categorized into transient and persistent for analysis (Figure 1); those with persistent infection were also matched 1:2 with a sex and age-matched control CF cohort for analysis Data was collected through chart review two years pre- and post- initial Achromobacter infection Achromobacter isolates were characterized with 16s rRNA, PFGE, and nrdA gene sequencing for speciation and detection of clonality Outcomes of pulmonary exacerbation (PEx) risk at initial acquisition compared with pre- and post-infection, lung function decline (FEV 1 %/year) and PEx risk pre- and post-infection were assessed with regression models using STATA 14.1 (College Stn, TX) A total of 34/306 patients (11%) with a median age of 24.8 years were identified with Achromobacter infection in the study period (Figure 1) Of those with Achromobacter infection, 10/306 (3.3%) developed persistent infection and A. xylosoxidans was the most common species (50.0%) (Figure 2) Patients were more likely to experience PEx at initial isolation (OR 2.7; [95% CI 1.2 – 6.7]; p=0.03) compared with the prior or subsequent visit Baseline characteristics of patients with Achromobacter infections and controls were similar (Table 1) There was no difference in annual lung function decline (-1.08% [95% CI -2.73-0.57] vs. -2.74% [95% CI -4.02 - -1.46]; p=0.12) or odds of PEx (OR 1.21 [95% CI 0.45-3.28]; p=0.70) following persistent Achromobacter infection Two patients (A182 – a persistent colonizer and A184 – a transient colonizer) cultured Achromobacter xylosoxidans with matching PFGE and nrdA profiles (Figure 3*) reflecting a possible transmission event Other infecting species identified by nrdA sequencing were A. insuavis (28%), A. dolens (11%), A. spanius (6%), and A. ruhlandii (6%) The rate of lung function decline was not different amongst species University of Calgary 3330 Hospital Drive NW Calgary, AB CANADA, T2N 4N1 [email protected] # 1226 Achromobacter species had a prevalence and species distribution similar to other CF based studies in our center Achromobacter infection was associated with PEx at initial acquisition but did not have a significant impact on PEx risk or rate of FEV 1 % decline following infection Larger studies are required to elucidate the transmission potential of this organism Conclusions Department of Medicine 1 , Department of Microbiology, Immunology, and Infectious Diseases 2 , Department of Biological Sciences 3 : University of Calgary; Department of Medicine 4 and Biochemistry 5 , The Farncombe Family Digestive Health Research Institute, McMaster University 100 80 60 40 A329-Ax12-20/11/2013 A329-Ax7-28/06/2011 A274-Ax3-19/02/2005 A312-Ax8-20/06/2012 A312-Ax9-23/07/2012 A128-Ax18-21/08/1996 A128-Ax20-09/04/1997 A061-Ax19-08/01/1997 A061-Ax22-08/04/1999 A061-Ax24-15/07/2000 A085-Ax25-21/03/2001 A085-Ax27-17/04/2002 A349-AxN4-14/04/1997 A358-Ax23-16/02/2000 A022-Ax21-22/04/1998 A077-Ax4-15/01/2009 A077-Ax5-11/06/2009 A182-Ax14-19/01/1994 A182-Ax17-06/12/1994 A184-Ax16-05/10/1994 A182-Ax34-13/04/1993 A217-Ax29-18/05/1988 A217-Ax30-18/10/1989 A061-Ax13-05/12/2013 A253-AxN9-15/04/1993 A335-Ax6-01/04/2010 A222-AxN5-18/03/1998 A222-AxN8-18/02/1992 A222-AxN6-03/03/1999 A222-AxN7-20/02/2002 A222-AxN1-19/01/2005 A222-AxN2-09/05/2007 A222-AxN3-28/03/1994 A207-Ax33-13/11/1991 A207-Ax36-24/06/1991 A207-Ax37-27/06/1991 A003-Ax2-16/02/2005 A090-Ax11-26/09/2012 A039-Ax10-13/08/2013 A152-Ax15-16/09/1994 } * Aim To determine the epidemiology, transmissibility, and clinical outcomes of Achromobacter species in a North American CF cohort Table 1: Baseline data of transient, persistent and control cohorts Baseline data: 2 years prior to incident Achromobacter culture *Azithromycin or tobramycin at time of AX culture or Control study entry; Chronic co-infection; CFRD – CF related diabetes; CFLD - CF liver disease; DIOS – Distal Intestinal Obstruction Syndrome Figure 1.
