Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae
Principles
• Combo for severe infections
• Dosing has to be optimized
- Search for highest tolerated dose if feasible

• Most frequently active antimicrobials
- b-lactams: carbapenem, aztreonam*, 3rd Cephalosporins**
- Colistin

- Aminoglycosides

* Sólo para MBL sin BLEE asociada
** Sólo para OXA-48 sin BLEE asociada

- Tigecycline
- Fosfomycin
- If active (infrequent): Quinolones and TMP/SMX are good
therapeutic options

Conclussions/Further questions
• Genotype might matter: For the same MIC, Carbapenem
seems less active against OXA-48 producing
Enterobacteriaceae as compared to NDM/KPC

• Does double-carbapenem therapy work for OXA-48producing Enterobacteriaceae?

Can Glycopeptide have any role for the treatment of GNR
(rationale)?
• Colistin acts on the A. baumannii outer membrane….
• …enabling glycopeptides access to cell wall targets (from
which they are usually excluded)
• Gordon NC. AAC 2010;54(12):5316–22.
• Wareham DW JAC 2011;66(5):1047–51.

• ¿Are these findings applicable to other GNR?
• Vidaillac C- AAC. 2012;56(9):4856–61.
Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2014;58(2):851–8.

Aim
• To evaluate the frequency of colistin + glycopeptide combination
• To determine the impact of this combo on outcome

Design

• Multicenter (3) observational retrospective study

Patients

• Cohort of critically ill patients receiving colistin (Jan´10-Jan´11)

Statistical analysis
• Risk factors for 30 day mortality: Cox regression
• Early deaths after onset of colistin (<5 days) were excluded
Results
• 184 (166 GNR) patients received a colistin-based regimen (20% empirically)

Conclusions
• Colistin-Glycopeptide is a frequently used
antimicrobial combination among critically-ill infected
patients.

• Colistin-Glycopeptide Combo for ≥5 days was a factor
independently associated with better outcomes
among all the patients and among those with only
MDR A. baumannii infection
• Is this effect logistic regression magic?:
Prospective, randomized studies are needed

• Colistin-Rifampin did NOT show any clinically significant
benefit in the clinical trials
• Would you devote money/time in further clinical trials using this
combo????
Optimization of AB dosing
Bauer KA. AAC. 201;57(7):2907–12

Design
• Non randomized before (20´ bolus)-after (4 h extended infusion)
intervention [cefepime 2g TID]

Patients
• Consecutive patients with cefepime-susceptible (MIC ≤ 8mcg/mL)
Pseudomonas bacteremia or pneumonia between 2008 and 2011
• …receiving ≥at least 48h of cefepime within 72h of + blood cultures

• Exclusion criteria: administration of other b-lactam concomitantly
with cefepime

Discussion

Were both populations comparable?
• BSI: 28 (bolus) vs 18 (extended infusion)
• Is “pneumonia” really a pneumonia?

Letter to the Editor written by the promoters of the “First International
Conference on Polymyxins” (Prato, Italy, May 2-4th, 2013)
There is need to be aware of confusing terminology used in articles
published in journals

• IU vs mg (colistin base activity)
• 1.000.000 IU = 30 mg CBA
Nice PK/PD blog

Contains comprehensive information on colistin
Further insight on how to improve colistin dosing
JAC. 2013;68(10):2311–7

• As CMS is an inactive prodrug, the use of microbiological
assays to standardize antibacterial activity in vitro may not
reflect the exposure to formed colistin in vivo
• HPLC and elemental analysis of vials of 4 brands from 3 continents

• PK analysis (CMS and formed colistin) in rats after iv administration
RP-HPLC profiles at 214 nm for (a) blank control, (b) colistin and 4 marketed products (c-f)

• ¾ brands had very similar chromatographic profiles
• Multiplicity of peaks mixture of different derivatives
JAC. 2013;68(10):2311–7
PK profile

Colismethate (CMS)

Colistin

• The plasma concentration – time profiles of CMS were
generally consistent among all four products
• The were significant differences in the AUC0-180min among
different products suggesting differences in the conversion of

CMS to colistin
Carbapenem-sparing regimens
Tamma PD Clin Infect Dis. 2013;57(6):781–8

Rationale
• AmpC β- lactamases can be expressed at  levels either by induction or selection for
derepressed mutants in the presence of 3rd generation ceph and, thus, should be avoided
• Infections caused by AmpC β-lactamase–producing organisms can successfully be treated
with carbapenems
• In vitro studies demonstrate excellent susceptibility of AmpC β-lactamase–producing
organisms to cefepime. In addition it seems to be a poor AmpC inducer
• In vitro studies also suggest that an inoculum effect exists and that cefepime may be a
less reliable agent for the treat- ment of high inoculum infections

Hypothesis
•

“Cefepime is a valuable therapeutic option for infections caused by AmpC producing
Enterobacteriaceae”
Carbapenem-sparing regimens
Design
•

Single-center (Johns Hopkins) retrospective cohort observational study (2010-12)

Patients
• Patients with BSI, Pneumonia or intrabdominal infection in which…
• Enterobacter* spp, Citrobacter* or Serratia* were isolated…
• having received cefepime or carbapenem for at least 72h
*If AmpC was not phenotypically detected by any of the following methods, patient were
excluded: a) cefotetan–boronic acid disk tests and b) cefotetan-cloxacillin Etest strips

Outcome variable
• Primary: 30-day mortality
• Secondary: Length of hospital stay (LOS) since 1st + culture

Propensity score matching
• Propensity score methods were used to ensure similarity of the 2 groups
(age, microorganism, LOS til 1st culture, severity, ICU, source control)
Tamma PD Clin Infect Dis. 2013;57(6):781–8
Carbapenem-sparing regimens
Results

Frequency of AmpC: Enterobacter (38%); Serratia (15%); Citrobacter spp (1%)
• Patients receiving meropenem had higher risk of MDRO colonization, comorbidity and
immune-supression
• Propensity score matching yielded 32 matched pairs

  • 49. Further insight on how to improve colistin dosing Clinical Infectious Diseases. 2014;58(1):139–41. Letter to the Editor written by the promoters of the “First International Conference on Polymyxins” (Prato, Italy, May 2-4th, 2013) There is need to be aware of confusing terminology used in articles published in journals • IU vs mg (colistin base activity) • 1.000.000 IU = 30 mg CBA
  • 50. Nice PK/PD blog Contains comprehensive information on colistin
  • 51. Further insight on how to improve colistin dosing JAC. 2013;68(10):2311–7 • As CMS is an inactive prodrug, the use of microbiological assays to standardize antibacterial activity in vitro may not reflect the exposure to formed colistin in vivo • HPLC and elemental analysis of vials of 4 brands from 3 continents • PK analysis (CMS and formed colistin) in rats after iv administration
  • 52. RP-HPLC profiles at 214 nm for (a) blank control, (b) colistin and 4 marketed products (c-f) • ¾ brands had very similar chromatographic profiles • Multiplicity of peaks mixture of different derivatives JAC. 2013;68(10):2311–7
  • 53. PK profile Colismethate (CMS) Colistin • The plasma concentration – time profiles of CMS were generally consistent among all four products • The were significant differences in the AUC0-180min among different products suggesting differences in the conversion of JAC. 2013;68(10):2311–7 CMS to colistin
  • 54. Carbapenem-sparing regimens Tamma PD Clin Infect Dis. 2013;57(6):781–8 Rationale • AmpC β- lactamases can be expressed at  levels either by induction or selection for derepressed mutants in the presence of 3rd generation ceph and, thus, should be avoided • Infections caused by AmpC β-lactamase–producing organisms can successfully be treated with carbapenems • In vitro studies demonstrate excellent susceptibility of AmpC β-lactamase–producing organisms to cefepime. In addition it seems to be a poor AmpC inducer • In vitro studies also suggest that an inoculum effect exists and that cefepime may be a less reliable agent for the treat- ment of high inoculum infections Hypothesis • “Cefepime is a valuable therapeutic option for infections caused by AmpC producing Enterobacteriaceae”
