ABSTRACT
Objective:To report the results of national surveillance on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical Gram-negative bacteria isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2022.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-negative bacteria from blood cultures in member hospitals of national bloodstream infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System（BRICS）were collected during January 2022 to December 2022. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute（CLSI）. WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software were used to analyze the data.Results:During the study period，9 035 strains of Gram-negative bacteria were collected from 51 hospitals，of which 7 895（87.4%）were Enterobacteriaceae and 1 140（12.6%）were non-fermenting bacteria. The top 5 bacterial species were Escherichia coli（ n=4 510，49.9%）， Klebsiella pneumoniae（ n=2 340，25.9%）， Pseudomonas aeruginosa（ n=534，5.9%）， Acinetobacter baumannii complex（ n=405，4.5%）and Enterobacter cloacae（ n=327，3.6%）. The ESBLs-producing rates in Escherichia coli， Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus spp. were 47.1%（2 095/4 452），21.0%（427/2 033）and 41.1%（58/141），respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli（CREC）and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae（CRKP）were 1.3%（58/4 510）and 13.1%（307/2 340）；62.1%（36/58）and 9.8%（30/307）of CREC and CRKP were resistant to ceftazidime/avibactam combination，respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii（CRAB）complex was 59.5%（241/405），while less than 5% of Acinetobacter baumannii complex was resistant to tigecycline and polymyxin B. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa（CRPA）was 18.4%（98/534）. There were differences in the composition ratio of Gram-negative bacteria in bloodstream infections and the prevalence of main Gram-negative bacteria resistance among different regions，with statistically significant differences in the prevalence of CRKP and CRPA（ χ2=20.489 and 20.252， P<0.001）. The prevalence of CREC，CRKP，CRPA，CRAB，ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were higher in provinicial hospitals than those in municipal hospitals（ χ2=11.953，81.183，10.404，5.915，12.415 and 6.459， P<0.01 or <0.05），while the prevalence of CRPA was higher in economically developed regions（per capita GDP ≥ 92 059 Yuan）than that in economically less-developed regions（per capita GDP <92 059 Yuan）（ χ2=6.240， P=0.012）. Conclusions:The proportion of Gram-negative bacteria in bloodstream infections shows an increasing trend，and Escherichia coli is ranked in the top，while the trend of CRKP decreases continuously with time. Decreasing trends are noted in ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Low prevalence of carbapenem resistance in Escherichia coli and high prevalence in CRAB complex have been observed. The composition ratio and antibacterial spectrum of bloodstream infections in different regions of China are slightly different，and the proportion of main drug resistant bacteria in provincial hospitals is higher than those in municipal hospitals.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To report the results of national surveillance on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical bacterial isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2021.Methods:The clinical bacterial strains isolated from blood culture from member hospitals of Blood Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System (BRICS) were collected during January 2021 to December 2021. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). WHONET 5.6 was used to analyze data.Results:During the study period, 11 013 bacterial strains were collected from 51 hospitals, of which 2 782 (25.3%) were Gram-positive bacteria and 8 231 (74.7%) were Gram-negative bacteria. The top 10 bacterial species were Escherichia coli (37.6%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (18.9%), Staphylococcus aureus (9.8%), coagulase-negative Staphylococci (6.3%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (3.6%), Enterococcus faecium (3.6%), Acinetobacter baumannii (2.8%), Enterococcus faecalis (2.7%), Enterobacter cloacae (2.5%) and Klebsiella spp (2.1%). The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus aureus were 25.3% and 76.8%, respectively. No glycopeptide- and daptomycin-resistant Staphylococci was detected; more than 95.0% of Staphylococcus aureus were sensitive to ceftobiprole. No vancomycin-resistant Enterococci strains were detected. The rates of extended spectrum B-lactamase (ESBL)-producing isolated in Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirabilis were 49.6%, 25.5% and 39.0%, respectively. The prevalence rates of carbapenem-resistance in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were 2.2% and 15.8%, respectively; 7.9% of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae was resistant to ceftazidime/avibactam combination. Ceftobiprole demonstrated excellent activity against non-ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Aztreonam/avibactam was highly active against carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The prevalence rate of carbapenem-resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii was 60.0%, while polymyxin and tigecycline showed good activity against Acinetobacter baumannii (5.5% and 4.5%). The prevalence of carbapenem-resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa was 18.9%. Conclusions:The BRICS surveillance results in 2021 shows that the main pathogens of blood stream infection in China are gram-negative bacteria, in which Escherichia coli is the most common. The MRSA incidence shows a further decreasing trend in China and the overall prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococci is low. The prevalence of Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is still on a high level, but the trend is downwards.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To predict and evaluate the antibacterial efficacy of linezolid, teicoplanin and daptomycin against Staphylococci bloodstream infections with Monte Carlo simulation, and to optimize the clinical administration program. Methods:A total of 1 847 Staphylococci strains isolated from blood samples between January 2018 to December 2019 were collected with the help of the Blood Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System (BRICS). Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of linezolid and daptomycin were detected by broth dilution method, while MIC of teicoplanin were detected by agar dilution method. The dosage regimens of linezolid were 800 mg once daily, 500 mg once every 12 hours, 600 mg once every 12 hours and 600 mg once every eight hours. The dosage regimens of teicoplanin were 400 mg once every 12 hours, 600 mg once every 12 hours, 800 mg once every 12 hours, and 1 000 mg once every 12 hours. The dosage regimens of daptomycin were 4 mg·kg -1·d -1, 6 mg·kg -1·d -1, 8 mg·kg -1·d -1, 10 mg·kg -1·d -1and 12 mg·kg -1·d -1. The probability of target attainment (PTA) and cumulative fraction of response (CFR) of three different dosage regimens were calculated by Monte Carlo simulation. A dosage regimen with CFR≥90.0% was a reasonable choice for empirical antimicrobial therapy. Results:PTA of linezolid against Staphylococci when MIC≤0.500 mg/L at four dosage regimens (800 mg once daily, 500 mg once every 12 hours, 600 mg once every 12 hours and 600 mg once every eight hours) were all over 90.0%. When MIC was 1.000 mg/L, the PTA of linezolid against Staphylococci under the dosages of 500 mg once every 12 hours, 600 mg once every 12 hours and 600 mg once every eight hours were 92.2%, 96.6% and 97.6%, respectively. The CFR of the four dosage regimens of linezolid were 73.9%, 83.7%, 90.8% and 95.3%, respectively. When MIC≤1.000 mg/L, PTA of teicoplanin against Staphylococci were all 100.0% at four dosage regimens (400 mg once every 12 hours, 600 mg once every 12 hours, 800 mg once every 12 hours and 1 000 mg once every 12 hours). When MIC was 2.000 mg/L, the PTA of teicoplanin (800 mg once every 12 hours and 1 000 mg once every 12 hours) against Staphylococci were both 100.0%. The CFR of the four dosage regimens of teicoplanin were 90.8%, 92.8%, 93.5% and 94.6%, respectively. When MIC≤0.500 mg/L, PTA of daptomycin against Staphylococci under the five dosages of 4 mg·kg -1·d -1, 6 mg·kg -1·d -1, 8 mg·kg -1·d -1, 10 mg·kg -1·d -1 and 12 mg·kg -1·d -1 were all over 90.0%. When MIC was 1.000 mg/L, the PTA of daptomycin against Staphylococci under the three dosages of 8 mg·kg -1·d -1, 10 mg·kg -1·d -1 and 12 mg·kg -1·d -1were 96.9%, 100.0% and 100.0%, respectively. The CFR of the five dosage regimens of daptomycin against Staphylococci were 97.4%, 99.2%, 99.9%, 100.0% and 100.0%, respectively. Conclusions:Linezolid (600 mg once every 12 hours), teicoplanin (400 mg once every 12 hours) and daptomycin (4 mg·kg -1·d -1) can achieve satisfactory antibacterial activity for Staphylococci bloodstream infections.
