Overview
• Resistance in Enterobacteriaceae (‘coliforms’ e.g. E coli, Klebsiella, Enterobacter)
• ESBLs – what they are• ESBLs – why they matter• Epidemiology• Carbapenemases
![Page 3: Resistant Gram-negative Infections 21 st March 2013 Acute Medicine Study Day Dr Sarah Glover Consultant in Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649c8e5503460f949470fd/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Case 1
• 90M• Background of DM, CRF, previous pneumonia• Care home resident, bed bound fully dependent, long
term urinary catheter• Admitted SOB, CRP >250 WCC 35 ?LRTI• Started cefuroxime plus clarithromycin as hx of penicillin
allergy• 24 hrs into admission, blood cultures flagged positive
with Gram negative bacilli• Looking at previous microbiology: MSU from a month
earlier: ESBL-positive E coli• Changed to meropenem
![Page 4: Resistant Gram-negative Infections 21 st March 2013 Acute Medicine Study Day Dr Sarah Glover Consultant in Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649c8e5503460f949470fd/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Case 1
• Following day, BC isolate confirmed as ESBL producing E coli, resistant to trimethoprim, co-amoxiclav, cefuroxime, ciprofloxacin. Sensitive to meropenem and gentamicin
• CSU from admission, mixed growth of 3 organisms including ESBL-producing E coli with the same sensitivity pattern
• Good clinical response to carbanepenem treatment

β-lactams & β-lactamases
• β-lactam antibiotics: -penicillins
-cephalosporins-carbapenems
• Inhibit cell wall formation• β lactamases = bacterial enzymes that
hydrolyse β lactam antibiotics rendering them inactive
![Page 6: Resistant Gram-negative Infections 21 st March 2013 Acute Medicine Study Day Dr Sarah Glover Consultant in Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649c8e5503460f949470fd/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

β-lactamases
• Resistance to penicillins such as ampicillin or amoxicillin very common among coliforms, due to β lactamases (TEM or SHV)– E.g. 60% of invasive E coli isolates in UK are
amp-/amoxicillin-resistant)
![Page 8: Resistant Gram-negative Infections 21 st March 2013 Acute Medicine Study Day Dr Sarah Glover Consultant in Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649c8e5503460f949470fd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs)
• ESBLs are a group of β lactamases which are capable of hydrolysing (and therefore causing resistance to) not only penicillins, but many other β lactams, including 2nd and 3rd generation cephalosporins
• Initially recognised in clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae in the 1980s, derived from TEM or SHV β lactamases by point mutation
• Until 2000, most were TEM/SHV
![Page 10: Resistant Gram-negative Infections 21 st March 2013 Acute Medicine Study Day Dr Sarah Glover Consultant in Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649c8e5503460f949470fd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
ESBLs
• Since then, CTX-M increasingly prevalent – more than 50 distinct enzymes identified – transferred via plasmids from environmental bacteria (Kluyvera)
• Initially found in South America, now global problem, including in community acquired E coli
• Increasing due to plasmid spread plus clonal expansion eg CTX-M-15 in UK

Clinical relevance – Antibiotic management
• Now present in the most common Gram-negative infector of humans (E.coli)
• Difficult to treat• Resistant to most beta-lactams including 3rd
generation cephalosporins • ESBL + isolates often display co-resistance
to other classes of antibiotics e.g. trimethoprim, fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides
• Penicillin-inhibitor combinations (e.g. co-amoxiclav, pip-tazo) may appear sensitive in vitro but often result in treatment failure

Clinical relevance – Antibiotic management
• Outpatient management of uncomplicated UTI – limited oral & once-daily IV options
![Page 15: Resistant Gram-negative Infections 21 st March 2013 Acute Medicine Study Day Dr Sarah Glover Consultant in Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649c8e5503460f949470fd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Clinical relevance – Antibiotic management
• Surviving sepsis – early initiation of appropriate antimicrobials important factor in determining outcome
• Studies have shown that mortality from sepsis due to multi-resistant bacteria is double that of sensitive bacteria
![Page 16: Resistant Gram-negative Infections 21 st March 2013 Acute Medicine Study Day Dr Sarah Glover Consultant in Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649c8e5503460f949470fd/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Clinical relevance – Epidemiology
• E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae are the major ESBL producers worldwide
• E. coli is primary commensal of the human bowel and the commonest causes in community and hospital settings of:– UTI– Intra-abdominal sepsis– Bacteraemia
![Page 17: Resistant Gram-negative Infections 21 st March 2013 Acute Medicine Study Day Dr Sarah Glover Consultant in Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649c8e5503460f949470fd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Clinical relevance – Epidemiology
• Gram negative infection is increasingly common
• Bacteraemia due to coliforms, particularly E coli, is increasing:
E coli is the commonest cause of bacteraemia in England
![Page 18: Resistant Gram-negative Infections 21 st March 2013 Acute Medicine Study Day Dr Sarah Glover Consultant in Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649c8e5503460f949470fd/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Bacteraemia
![Page 19: Resistant Gram-negative Infections 21 st March 2013 Acute Medicine Study Day Dr Sarah Glover Consultant in Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649c8e5503460f949470fd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
35% increase in E coli bacteraemias in England, Wales and N Ireland between 2007-2011, compared with a 7% decrease in all bacteraemias
![Page 20: Resistant Gram-negative Infections 21 st March 2013 Acute Medicine Study Day Dr Sarah Glover Consultant in Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649c8e5503460f949470fd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Antibiotic options• Carbapenems widely considered antibiotic of
choice for severe ESBL infection: good clinical outcome data when compared with other agents with in-vitro susceptibility
• Aminoglycosides, if susceptible• Quinolones, if susceptible• Nitrofurantoin, if susceptible, for uncomplicated
UTI only• Other orals: fosfomycin, pivmecillinam• Tigecycline

Case 2
• 28M with congenital biliary dilatation• Presented Sept 2012 with biliary sepsis• Recurrent sepsis with bacteraemia since then• Not amenable to drainage, awaiting liver transplant• Klebsiella pneumoniae recurrently isolated: sensitive
only to ertapenem, meropenem, amikacin and colistin• Repeated courses of carbapenem treatment• Frequent relapses after standard courses therefore
treated with 6 week course of ertapenem
![Page 34: Resistant Gram-negative Infections 21 st March 2013 Acute Medicine Study Day Dr Sarah Glover Consultant in Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649c8e5503460f949470fd/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• During 6th week of treatment, fever recurred with breakthrough bacteraemia
• Isolate now ertapenem resistant• Treated with meropenem for 2 weeks• Developed eosinophilia and itch, meropenem
stopped• Recurrent symptoms within 48 hours of
stopping, with recurrent bacteraemia on admission 2 days later
![Page 35: Resistant Gram-negative Infections 21 st March 2013 Acute Medicine Study Day Dr Sarah Glover Consultant in Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649c8e5503460f949470fd/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
• Isolate showing reduced susceptibility to carbapenems: ref lab report suggests possible metallo-carbapenamase
• Pt is antibiotic dependent• Source control impossible without

Dangers of meropenem overuse
Emergence of carbapenem resistance, esp. K. pneumoniae
• Carbapenemases:– E.g. KPC, NDM-1, VIM, OXA-48
• Other mechanisms:– Accumulation of different β-lactamases – Hyper-production of β-lactamases – Cell membrane porin loss (loss of permeability)– Combinations of the above

• KPC most prominent – first reported in USA, since 2006 has spread across US, Israel, Greece, Italy with outbreaks in China, Brazil, other European countries. 40% prevalence in Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteraemia in Greece
• NDM occurs in 2-8% of Enterobacteriaceae in teaching hospitals in India, and 27% of inpatients at two military hospitals in Pakistan were carriers

• Colistin – nephrotoxic and neurotoxic
• Tigecycline – low blood concentrations, unsuitable for UTI as only 22% excreted in urine
• Fosfomycin – borderline susceptibility common in Klebsiella. Not marketed in UK but can import

Control
• Organisms present in gut• Selected for by use of carbapenems, become
predominant flora: judicious use of antibiotics• Control spread: isolation (particularly diarrhoea),
handwashing, identification of carriers, ANTT of drains, environmental cleaning
• Controlling source of infection – pts with undrainable abdominal sepsis present high risk for breeding resistance

Take home points
1. E coli causing a rising number and proportion of bacteraemias
2. Resistance to carbapenems a genuine threat
3. Look at previous microbiology results when choosing empirical treatment regimens for sepsis
4. Carbapenems should be used judiciously
