ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Acinetobacter baumannii infections cause high morbidity and mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. However, there are limited data on the changes of long-term epidemiology of imipenem resistance in A. baumannii bacteremia among pediatric ICU (PICU) patients.METHODS:
A retrospective review was performed on patients with A. baumannii bacteremia in PICU of a tertiary teaching hospital from 2000 to 2016. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests, multilocus sequence typing (MLST), and polymerase chain reaction for antimicrobial resistance genes were performed for available isolates.RESULTS:
A. baumannii bacteremia occurred in 27 patients; imipenem-sensitive A. baumannii (ISAB, n = 10, 37%) and imipenem-resistant A. baumannii (IRAB, n = 17, 63%). There was a clear shift in the antibiogram of A. baumannii during the study period. From 2000 to 2003, all isolates were ISAB (n = 6). From 2005 to 2008, both IRAB (n = 5) and ISAB (n = 4) were isolated. However, from 2009, all isolates were IRAB (n = 12). Ten isolates were available for additional test and confirmed as IRAB. MLST analysis showed that among 10 isolates, sequence type 138 was predominant (n = 7). All 10 isolates were positive for OXA-23-like and OXA-51-like carbapenemase. Of 27 bacteremia patients, 11 were male (41%), the median age at bacteremia onset was 5.2 years (range, 0-18.6 years). In 33% (9/27) of patients, A. baumannii was isolated from tracheal aspirate prior to development of bacteremia (median, 8 days; range, 5-124 days). The overall case-fatality rate was 63% (17/27) within 28 days. There was no statistical difference in the case fatality rate between ISAB and IRAB groups (50% vs. 71%; P = 0.422).CONCLUSION:
IRAB bacteremia causes serious threat in patients in PICU. Proactive infection control measures and antimicrobial stewardship are crucial for managing IRAB infection in PICU.Palavras-chave
