    Abstract: Emerging resistance to colistin in clinical Acinetobacter baumannii isolates is of growing concern. Since current treatment options for these strains are extremely limited, we investigated the in vitro activities of various antimicrobial combinations against colistin-resistant A. baumannii . Nine clinical isolates (8 from bacteremia cases and 1 from a pneumonia case) of colistin-resistant A. baumannii were collected in Asan Medical Center, Seoul, South Korea, between January 2010 and December 2012. To screen for potential synergistic effects, multiple combinations of two antimicrobials among 12 commercially available agents were tested using the multiple-combination bactericidal test (MCBT). Checkerboard tests were performed to validate these results. Among the 9 colistin-resistant strains, 6 were pandrug resistant and 3 were extensively drug resistant. With MCBT, the most effective combinations were colistin-rifampin and colistin-teicoplanin; both combinations showed synergistic effect against 8 of 9 strains. Colistin-aztreonam, colistin-meropenem, and colistin-vancomycin combinations showed synergy against seven strains. Colistin was the most common constituent of antimicrobial combinations that were active against colistin-resistant A. baumannii . Checkerboard tests were then conducted in colistin-based combinations. Notably, colistin-rifampin showed synergism against all nine strains (100%). Both colistin-vancomycin and colistin-teicoplanin showed either synergy or partial synergy. Colistin combined with another β-lactam agent (aztreonam, ceftazidime, or meropenem) showed a relatively moderate effect. Colistin combined with ampicillin-sulbactam, tigecycline, amikacin, azithromycin, or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole demonstrated limited synergism. Using MCBT and checkerboard tests, we found that only colistin-based combinations, particularly those with rifampin, glycopeptides, or β-lactams, may confer therapeutic benefits against colistin-resistant A. baumannii .

    Abstract: Staphylococcus aureus can cause various types of infection, but involvement of biliary tract is rare. There were only few case reports and no clinical studies. We assessed the clinical characteristics and outcomes of S. aureus bacteremia from a biliary source (biliary SAB) in a large cohort of SAB patients and compared the cases with those of catheter-related SAB. Methods We performed a matched case–control study within a prospective observational cohort of patients with SAB at a 2,700-bed tertiary hospital. All adult patients with SAB were observed for 12 weeks from July 2008 to July 2018. Biliary SAB was defined as the case of S.aureus isolated from blood culture with appropriate clinical biliary infection symptoms (fever, abdominal pain, or jaundice) and signs (abdominal tenderness or liver enzyme elevation with obstructive pattern). Biliary SAB cases were matched 1:3 to control patients with catheter-related SAB based on age, gender, ward, and case year. Results A total of 1,818 patients with SAB were enrolled in the entire cohort, and 42 (2%) were biliary SAB. Among patients with biliary SAB, 32 (76%) had solid tumor involving pancreaticobiliary tract or liver, 30 (71%) had biliary drainage stent, 14 (33%) were biliary procedure-related infection, and 24 (57%) had recent broad-spectrum antibiotics exposure (Table 1). When biliary SAB patients were compared with 126 patients with catheter-related SAB, they were significantly more likely to have community-onset SAB, solid tumor, and lower APACHE II score; and less likely to have metastatic infection (P = 0.03) (Table 2). Biliary SAB, solid tumor, and a high Charlson comorbidity index were associated with 12-week mortality. In multivariate analysis, biliary SAB (aOR, 5.5; 95% CI, 2.47–12.25) and a high Charlson comorbidity index (aOR, 1.32; 95% CI, 1.12–1.54) were independent risk factors for 12-week mortality. Conclusion Biliary SAB was relatively rare and developed mainly in pancreaticobiliary cancer patients and in recent broad-spectrum antibiotic users. High mortality was probably attributable to underlying cancers. When biliary tract infection caused by S. aureus is clinically suspected, early aggressive treatment for SAB should be considered.

    518. Comparing the Mortality of Carbapenemase-Producing and Non-Carbapenemase-Producing Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae Bacteremia

    Abstract: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infection is an emerging clinical issue. One of the mechanisms of carbapenem-resistance is carbapenemase production. This study aimed to identify whether clinical outcomes differ by CRE resistance mechanism and to evaluate risk factors for mortality in patients with CRE bacteremia. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study comparing 14-day mortality between patients with carbapenemase-producing (CP)-CRE and non-CP-CRE bacteremia during January 2011 to October 2018. Only monomicrobial Escherichia coli or Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteremia were included in the study. A modified carbapenem inactivation method was used for phenotypic detection of carbapenemase production. The presence of a variety of carbapenemase genes was evaluated by PCR with specific primers. Results Of 134 patients with monomicrobial CRE bacteremia, 48 (35.8%) were infected with CP-CRE, and 86 (64.1%) were infected with non-CP-CRE. The most common carbapenemase in CP-CRE isolates was KPC (66.7%), followed by NDM-1 (18.8%), OXA-48-like (10.4%), and VIM (4.1%). Baseline characteristics were similar between the two groups (Table 1). However, the CP-CRE group was significantly more likely to undergo removal of eradicable foci and to have meropenem MIC 〉 8 µg/mL. A total of 33 (24.6%) patients died within 14 days, including 9 (18.8%) in the CP-CRE group and 24 (27.9%) in the non-CP-CRE group. Deceased patients were more likely to have a higher Pitt bacteremia score, nosocomial acquisition, ineradicable or not-eradicated foci, immunosuppressant use, inappropriate definitive treatment (Table 2). Combination therapy for definitive treatment was associated with decreased mortality. In a multivariate analysis including carbapenemase production, a higher Pitt bacteremia score (aOR, 5.15), ineradicable or not-eradicated foci (aOR, 4.05) and combination therapy for definitive treatment (aOR, 0.35) were independent risk factors for mortality. Conclusion Our study suggests that carbapenemase production is not a mortality risk factor in CRE bacteremia and provides additional evidence for early source control and combination therapy.

    Abstract: There is a concern that the vancomycin MIC of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) could be increased by concomitant colistin administered against multidrug-resistant gram-negative pathogen. Methods We confirmed the molecular genotypes of MRSA blood isolates collected in a tertiary hospital in Seoul, South Korea, and selected representative strains from the community-associated MRSA strains (CA-MRSA, ST72-SCCmec IV) and hospital-acquired MRSA strains (HA-MRSA, ST5-SCCmec II). USA CA-MRSA (USA300, ST8-SCCmec IV) and MRSA standard strain (ATCC 43300, ST39-SCCmec II) were also used for comparison with representative. We identified changes of the vancomycin MIC in MRSA by colistin exposure in a checkerboard assay and performed a time-kill assay to evaluate the combined effect of vancomycin and colistin on MRSA. In addition, we administered vancomycin, colistin, and combination of two antibiotics, respectively, to a neutropenic murine thigh infection model to evaluate the in vivo antagonistic effect of colistin on vancomycin treatment. Results In the checkerboard assay, all 4 MRSA strains showed a tendency for the vancomycin MIC to increase along with increasing concentrations of colistin. However, the time-kill assay showed the antagonism of vancomycin and colistin only against ST5-MRSA, when vancomycin concentration was 2 times the vancomycin MIC (Figure 1). No antagonism was observed in other strains. In the murine thigh infection model of ST5-MRSA, vancomycin monotherapy showed a significant log CFU reduction compared with a combination of vancomycin and colistin at 24 hours, demonstrating the antagonistic effect of vancomycin and colistin combination (Figure 2). Conclusion This study showed that exposure of colistin to certain MRSA strains may reduce the susceptibility to vancomycin. Combination therapy with vancomycin and colistin for MDR pathogens infections might result in treatment failure for concurrent MRSA infection. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.
