Abstract
The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria in children is a growing concern, particularly among septic patients, given the need for first-right dosing. Our aim was to determine the incidence rates and factors associated with MDR-sepsis in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), using data from the Spanish ENVIN-HELICS PICU registry between 2013 and 2019. The rate of MDR bacteria among septic children ranged between 5.8 and 16.2% throughout this study period, with a significant increase since 2015 (p = 0.013). MDR-gram-negative bacteria (92%), particularly EBL-Enterobacterales (63.7%), were the most frequent causative microorganisms of MDR-sepsis. During this study period, sixteen MDR-sepsis (32.6%) corresponded to intrahospital infections, and 33 (67.4%) had community-onset sepsis, accounting for 10.5% of the overall community-onset sepsis. Independent risk factors associated with MDR-sepsis were antibiotics 48 h prior to PICU admission (OR 2.38) and PICU onset of sepsis (OR 2.58) in >1 year-old children, and previous malnourishment (OR 4.99) in <1 year-old children. Conclusions: There was an alarming increase in MDR among septic children in Spain, mainly by gram-negative (ESBL-Enterobacterales), mostly coming from the community setting. Malnourished infants and children on antibiotics 48 h prior to PICU are at increased risk and therefore require closer surveillance.

J Epidemiol Glob Health 2023; 13:180-190. [PMID: 37095370 PMCID: PMC10272028 DOI: 10.1007/s44197-023-00096-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 04/26/2023] Open
Abstract
The increase in the prevalence of infections caused by certain bacteria, such as Klebsiella pneumonia (K. pneumoniae), is a global health concern. Bacterial production of an enzyme called extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) can generate resistance to antimicrobial therapeutics. Therefore, between 2012 and 2013, we investigated K. pneumoniae that produce ESBLs with the prevalence of individual genes including blaSHV, blaCTX-M, blaTEM, and blaOXA isolated from clinical samples. A total of 99 variable diagnostic samples including blood from hematological malignancies (n = 14) or other clinical sources including sputum, pus, urine, and wound (n = 85) were analyzed. All samples' bacterial type was confirmed and their susceptibility to antimicrobial agents was established. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification was carried out to ascertain presence of specific genes that included blaSHV, blaCTX-M, blaTEM, and blaOXA. Plasmid DNA profiles were determined to assess significance between resistance to antimicrobial agents and plasmid number. It was found that among non-hematologic malignancy isolates, the highest rate of resistance was 87.9% to imipenem, with lowest rate being 2% to ampicillin. However, in hematologic malignancy isolates, the highest microbial resistance was 92.9% to ampicillin with the lowest rate of resistance at 28.6% to imipenem. Among collected isolates, 45% were ESBL-producers with 50% occurrence in hematologic malignancy individuals that were ESBL-producers. Within ESBL-producing isolates from hematologic malignancy individuals, blaSHV was detected in 100%, blaCTX-M in 85.7%, and blaTEM and blaOXA-1 at 57.1% and 27.1%, respectively. In addition, blaSHV, blaCTX-M, and blaOXA were found in all non-hematological malignancy individuals with blaTEM detected in 55.5% of samples. Our findings indicate that ESBLs expressing blaSHV and blaCTX-M genes are significantly prevalent in K. pneumoniae isolates from hematologic malignancy individuals. Plasmid analysis indicated plasmids in isolates collected from hematological malignancy individuals. Furthermore, there was a correlation between resistance to antimicrobial agents and plasmids within two groups analyzed. This study indicates an increase in incidence of K. pneumoniae infections displaying ESBL phenotypes in Jordan.

BMC Infect Dis 2023; 23:247. [PMID: 37072711 PMCID: PMC10114324 DOI: 10.1186/s12879-023-08182-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2022] [Accepted: 03/17/2023] [Indexed: 04/20/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Infections are major causes of disease in cancer patients and pose a major obstacle to the success of cancer care. The global rise of antimicrobial resistance threatens to make these obstacles even greater and hinder continuing progress in cancer care. To prevent and handle such infections, better models of clinical outcomes building on current knowledge are needed. This internally funded systematic review (PROSPERO registration: CRD42021282769) aimed to review multivariable models of resistant infections/colonisations and corresponding mortality, what risk factors have been investigated, and with what methodological approaches. METHODS We employed two broad searches of antimicrobial resistance in cancer patients, using terms associated with antimicrobial resistance, in MEDLINE and Embase through Ovid, in addition to Cinahl through EBSCOhost and Web of Science Core Collection. Primary, observational studies in English from January 2015 to November 2021 on human cancer patients that explicitly modelled infection/colonisation or mortality associated with antimicrobial resistance in a multivariable model were included. We extracted data on the study populations and their malignancies, risk factors, microbial aetiology, and methods for variable selection, and assessed the risk of bias using the NHLBI Study Quality Assessment Tools. RESULTS Two searches yielded a total of 27,151 unique records, of which 144 studies were included after screening and reading. Of the outcomes studied, mortality was the most common (68/144, 47%). Forty-five per cent (65/144) of the studies focused on haemato-oncological patients, and 27% (39/144) studied several bacteria or fungi. Studies included a median of 200 patients and 46 events. One-hundred-and-three (72%) studies used a p-value-based variable selection. Studies included a median of seven variables in the final (and largest) model, which yielded a median of 7 events per variable. An in-depth example of vancomycin-resistant enterococci was reported. CONCLUSIONS We found the current research to be heterogeneous in the approaches to studying this topic. Methodological choices resulting in very diverse models made it difficult or even impossible to draw statistical inferences and summarise what risk factors were of clinical relevance. The development and adherence to more standardised protocols that build on existing literature are urgent.

Abstract
Background: This study aimed to determine the epidemiology of gram-negative bacteria (GNB) isolated in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU) population, to assess their antibiotic susceptibility patterns and possible associated risk factors. Methods: All neonates admitted to the NICU of ABDERREZAK-BOUHARA hospital (Skikda, Algeria) with a clinical diagnosis of neonatal infections from March to May 2019 were included in the study. The extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBLs), plasmidic cephalosporinase (pAmpC), and carbapenemases genes were screened by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing. PCR amplification of oprD among carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates was also performed. The clonal relatedness of the ESBLs isolates was studied using multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Results: Among 148 clinical specimens, 36 (24.3%) GNB strains were isolated from urine (n = 22), wound (n = 8), stool (n = 3), and blood (n = 3) samples. The bacterial species identified were Escherichia coli (n = 13), Klebsiella pneumoniae (n = 5), Enterobacter cloacae (n = 3), Serratia marcescens (n = 3), Salmonella spp. (n = 3), Proteus mirabilis (n = 1), P. aeruginosa (n = 5), and Acinetobacter baumannii (n = 3). PCR and sequencing showed that eleven Enterobacterales isolates harbored the blaCTX-M-15 gene, two E. coli isolates harbored the blaCMY-2 gene, and three A. baumannii isolates harbored both blaOXA-23 and blaOXA-51 genes. Also, five strains of P. aeruginosa were found to harbor mutations in the oprD gene. MLST showed that the K. pneumoniae strains belonged to ST13 and ST189, E. coli belonged to ST69, and E. cloacae belonged to ST214. Different risk factors that could predict positive GNB cultures were found, including female sex, Apgar score <8 at 5 min of life, enteral nutrition, antibiotic use, and extended length of hospitalization. Conclusion: Our study highlights the importance of determining the epidemiology of pathogens causing neonatal infections, their sequence types (ST), and their antibiotic susceptibility patterns to address rapidly a correct antibiotic treatment regimen.

Abstract
This retrospective study aims to describe the etiology and resistance patterns of pathogens causing bacteremia in children with solid tumors in a tertiary pediatric hematology-oncology center in Jerusalem, Israel (2011-2019). Factors associated with multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteremia and mortality were analyzed. A total of 228 pathogens were isolated in 126 patients; 61.0% were gram-negative rods (GNR) and 38.2% were gram-positive cocci (GPC). The most common pathogens were Klebsiella pneumoniae (19.3%), Escherichia coli (17.5%), and coagulase-negative staphylococci (16.2%). The proportion of MDR-GNR was 18.2%, while the proportion of MDR-GPC was 55.2%. In logistic regression analysis, breakthrough bacteremia on a penicillin-group antibiotic (odds ratio [OR] 5.69, [95% confidence interval 1.42-22.76], p-value = 0.014) was associated and underlying diagnosis of neuroblastoma was inversely associated (OR 0.17, [0.04-0.81], p-value = 0.026) with MDR-GNR bacteremia; while the previous hospitalizations' duration (OR 1.032/day, [1.01-1.06], p-value = 0.007) and oncologic treatment intensity (OR 2.19, [1.08-4.45, p-value = 0.03) were associated with MDR-GPC bacteremia. Shock, prolonged profound neutropenia, and pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admission were associated with 7-day mortality; and relapsed disease, oncologic treatment intensity, prolonged profound neutropenia, and PICU admission-with 30-day mortality in the univariate analyses. Empirical antibiotic choice should be based on factors associated with MDR infections in this specific population.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Healthcare-associated infections (HCAI) are a worldwide threat in intensive care units particularly in the pediatric intensive care units with a major cause of morbidity and mortality among this age group. The aim of the study is to determine the prevalence and risk factors predisposing to multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) infections among pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) patients at Ain Shams Pediatric University Hospitals as well as determining mortality and morbidity rates along with the length of stay at PICU.
Results
Culture results revealed that of the 282 patients evaluated, only 26 (9.2%) were MDROs (half of the affected patients had Acinetobacter species (50%) and the rest of them were free, 256 (90.8%). Our study revealed that the majority of MDROs were isolated from sputum in more than half of the patients 19/32 (59.3%) followed by whole blood in 10/32 (31.2%) and urine in 3/32 (9.4%). Pulmonary system was the most common affected site and was mainly colonized by MDR Acinetobacter (71.4%) followed by MDR Klebsiella (41.6%). Regarding MDR risk factors in our PICU, multivariate logistic regression analyses showed significant relationship between MDROs and age under 1 year (odds ratio [OR] 2.4554; 95% confidence interval [95% CI] (1.072–5.625); p = 0.043) and underlying pulmonary disease (OR 2.417; 95% CI (1.014–5.761); p = 0.592). A statistically significant higher mortality was detected in patients colonized with MDROs 9/26 (34.6%) versus MDROs non-colonized patients 32/256 (12.5%) [P=0.002]. Moreover, MDROs infection has negative significant risk with discharged patients ([OR] 0.269; [95% CI] (0.111–0.656); p = 0.002). Additionally, patients infected with MDROs did have significantly greater PICU stay than those non-infected [median (IQR), 16.5 (10.7–22), 5 (4–8), P=0.00] and have longer ventilation [median (IQR), 15.5 (10–18), 3 (2–10), P=0.00].
Conclusion
Prevalence of MDROs (9.2%) was low among PICU cases at Ain Shams University Hospitals. Most common MDROs were Acinetobacter and Klebsiella followed by pseudomonas species. The frequency of gram-negative organisms is much more common than gram-positive organisms. An increasing rate of antimicrobial resistance with increasing mortality and morbidity among PICU patients is observed worldwide; even for new categories, so, strict infection control programs should be implemented.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) are a major cause of infection worldwide and multidrug resistance in infants and children. The major pathogens include Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii. With new antibiotic options limited, immunization is likely to play a critical role in prevention. This review discusses their epidemiology, the current state of vaccine research and potential immunization strategies to protect children. A comprehensive review of the literature, conference abstracts along with web searches was performed to identify current and investigational vaccines against the major GNB in children. RECENT FINDINGS Phase I--III vaccine trials have been undertaken for the major Gram-negative bacteria but not in infants or children. E. coli is a common infection in immune-competent children, including neonatal sepsis. Several vaccines are in late-phase clinical trials, with some already licensed for recurrent urinary tract infections in women. Klebsiella spp. causes community-acquired and hospital-acquired infections, including sepsis in neonates and immunocompromised children although no vaccine trials have extended beyond early phase 2 trials. P. aeruginosa is a common pathogen in patients with cystic fibrosis. Phase 1--3 vaccine and monoclonal antibody trials are in progress, although candidates provide limited coverage against pathogenic strains. Enterobacter spp. and A. baumannii largely cause hospital-acquired infections with experimental vaccines limited to phase 1 research. SUMMARY The current immunization pipelines for the most prevalent GNB are years away from licensure. Similar to incentives for new antibiotics, global efforts are warranted to expedite the development of effective vaccines.

Abstract
Objectives To develop evidence-based recommendations for clinicians caring for children (including infants, school-aged children, and adolescents) with septic shock and other sepsis-associated organ dysfunction. Design A panel of 49 international experts, representing 12 international organizations, as well as three methodologists and three public members was convened. Panel members assembled at key international meetings (for those panel members attending the conference), and a stand-alone meeting was held for all panel members in November 2018. A formal conflict-of-interest policy was developed at the onset of the process and enforced throughout. Teleconferences and electronic-based discussion among the chairs, co-chairs, methodologists, and group heads, as well as within subgroups, served as an integral part of the guideline development process. Methods The panel consisted of six subgroups: recognition and management of infection, hemodynamics and resuscitation, ventilation, endocrine and metabolic therapies, adjunctive therapies, and research priorities. We conducted a systematic review for each Population, Intervention, Control, and Outcomes question to identify the best available evidence, statistically summarized the evidence, and then assessed the quality of evidence using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach. We used the evidence-to-decision framework to formulate recommendations as strong or weak, or as a best practice statement. In addition, “in our practice” statements were included when evidence was inconclusive to issue a recommendation, but the panel felt that some guidance based on practice patterns may be appropriate. Results The panel provided 77 statements on the management and resuscitation of children with septic shock and other sepsis-associated organ dysfunction. Overall, six were strong recommendations, 49 were weak recommendations, and nine were best-practice statements. For 13 questions, no recommendations could be made; but, for 10 of these, “in our practice” statements were provided. In addition, 52 research priorities were identified. Conclusions A large cohort of international experts was able to achieve consensus regarding many recommendations for the best care of children with sepsis, acknowledging that most aspects of care had relatively low quality of evidence resulting in the frequent issuance of weak recommendations. Despite this challenge, these recommendations regarding the management of children with septic shock and other sepsis-associated organ dysfunction provide a foundation for consistent care to improve outcomes and inform future research.

Abstract
Objectives Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) are considered an emerging threat worldwide. Data covering the clinical impact of MDRO colonization in patients with solid malignancies, however, is widely missing. We sought to determine the impact of MDRO colonization in patients who have been diagnosed with Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are at known high-risk for invasive infections. Materials and methods Patients who were screened for MDRO colonization within a 90-day period after NSCLC diagnosis of all stages were included in this single-center retrospective study. Results Two hundred and ninety-five patients were included of whom 24 patients (8.1%) were screened positive for MDRO colonization (MDROpos) at first diagnosis. Enterobacterales were by far the most frequent MDRO detected with a proportion of 79.2% (19/24). MDRO colonization was present across all disease stages and more present in patients with concomitant diabetes mellitus. Median overall survival was significantly inferior in the MDROpos study group with a median OS of 7.8 months (95% CI, 0.0–19.9 months) compared to a median OS of 23.9 months (95% CI, 17.6–30.1 months) in the MDROneg group in univariate (p = 0.036) and multivariate analysis (P = 0.02). Exploratory analyses suggest a higher rate of non-cancer-related-mortality in MDROpos patients compared to MDROneg patients (p = 0.002) with an increased rate of fatal infections in MDROpos patients (p = 0.0002). Conclusions MDRO colonization is an independent risk factor for inferior OS in patients diagnosed with NSCLC due to a higher rate of fatal infections. Empirical antibiotic treatment approaches should cover formerly detected MDR commensals in cases of (suspected) invasive infections.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii are the bacteria which increasingly account for nosocomial infections. Due to high virulence, the rate of Multi-Drug Resistance (MDR) and limited availability of new agents, these infections create significant clinical burdens, making it important to identify the possible sources of their occurrence. The aim of this study was to assess non-lactose fermenting bacteria and their metallo-β-lactamase (MBLs) genes expression in the Burn Intensive Care Unit (BICU) patients' saliva samples. This cross-sectional study was conducted from 2017 to 2018 on 124 saliva samples of BICU patients. Identified isolates were evaluated for drug susceptibility by disc diffusion method. MBLs production isolates were detected by Modified Hodge test and Imipenem-EDTA Combined disk. MBLs related genes were evaluated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). A total of 86 Gram negative non-lactose fermenting bacteria (38; A. baumannii) and (48; P. aeruginosa), were detected. All of the A. baumannii isolates were resistant to Carbapenems, while more than 90% of them were sensitive to Colistin. However, the highest sensitivity in P. aeruginosa isolates was related to Carbapenems and Colistin. More than 95% of A. baumannii and 32% of P. aeruginosa were detected MDR. MBLs production was confirmed in 9 (33.33%) P. aeruginosa and 18 (66.67%) A. baumannii isolates. The blaVIM was the most prevalent gene, while this gene was detected in all of MBLs positive strains. This study confirmed the prevalence of carbapenemase producer Gram-negative bacilli in the saliva of BICU patients. The results of the present study provide a new data set about saliva infection source that could lead to the proper antibiotic regimen and better control of drug resistance.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation does not increase the risk of infection-related complications for pediatric patients with Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas: A multicenter nationwide study. Transpl Infect Dis 2020; 22:e13292.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hodgkin (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) represent a spectrum of lymphoid malignancies that are often curable with currently applied treatment regimens; however, 15%-30% of lymphoma patients still suffer from relapsed or refractory (rel/ref) disease. Although hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) improves outcomes of second-line therapy for lymphoma in childhood, the complication rates in this group of patients, especially infectious complications (IC), remain unclear. OBJECTIVE The aim of this population-based cohort study was a retrospective analysis of incidence, epidemiology and profile of bacterial infections (BI), invasive fungal disease (IFD), and viral infections (VI) in primary or rel/ref lymphoma patients, both HL and NHL. PATIENTS AND METHODS We subdivided lymphoma patients into three groups: patients with primary conventional chemotherapy/radiotherapy regimens (group A), patients with rel/ref lymphoma treated with second-line chemotherapy (group B), and rel/ref lymphoma patients who underwent HSCT (group C). The medical records of the patients were biannually reported by each pediatric oncology center, and the data were analyzed centrally. RESULTS Within 637 patients with primary lymphoma, at least one IC was diagnosed in 255 (40.0%), among 52 patients with rel/ref lymphoma 24 (46.2%) ICs were observed, and in transplanted group, 28 (57.1%) out of 49 children were diagnosed with IC (P = .151). The distribution of etiology of IC differed between the patient groups (A, B, C), with a predominance of BI in group A (85.6% vs 72.0% and 47.9%, respectively), VI in group C (9% and 16.0% vs 46.6%, respectively), and IFD in group B (5.4% vs 12.0% vs 5.5%, respectively). Overall, 500 (68.0%) episodes of bacterial IC were diagnosed in the entire group. Apart from HL patients treated with chemotherapy, in all the other subgroups of patients Gram-positives were predominant. The rate of multidrug-resistant bacteria was high, especially for Gram-negatives (41.1% in group A, 62.5% in group B, and 84.6% in group C). The infection-related mortality was comparable for each group. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of IC was comparable during first- and second-line chemotherapy and after HSCT, but their profile was different for primary or re/ref lymphoma and depended on the type of therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop evidence-based recommendations for clinicians caring for children (including infants, school-aged children, and adolescents) with septic shock and other sepsis-associated organ dysfunction. DESIGN A panel of 49 international experts, representing 12 international organizations, as well as three methodologists and three public members was convened. Panel members assembled at key international meetings (for those panel members attending the conference), and a stand-alone meeting was held for all panel members in November 2018. A formal conflict-of-interest policy was developed at the onset of the process and enforced throughout. Teleconferences and electronic-based discussion among the chairs, co-chairs, methodologists, and group heads, as well as within subgroups, served as an integral part of the guideline development process. METHODS The panel consisted of six subgroups: recognition and management of infection, hemodynamics and resuscitation, ventilation, endocrine and metabolic therapies, adjunctive therapies, and research priorities. We conducted a systematic review for each Population, Intervention, Control, and Outcomes question to identify the best available evidence, statistically summarized the evidence, and then assessed the quality of evidence using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach. We used the evidence-to-decision framework to formulate recommendations as strong or weak, or as a best practice statement. In addition, "in our practice" statements were included when evidence was inconclusive to issue a recommendation, but the panel felt that some guidance based on practice patterns may be appropriate. RESULTS The panel provided 77 statements on the management and resuscitation of children with septic shock and other sepsis-associated organ dysfunction. Overall, six were strong recommendations, 52 were weak recommendations, and nine were best-practice statements. For 13 questions, no recommendations could be made; but, for 10 of these, "in our practice" statements were provided. In addition, 49 research priorities were identified. CONCLUSIONS A large cohort of international experts was able to achieve consensus regarding many recommendations for the best care of children with sepsis, acknowledging that most aspects of care had relatively low quality of evidence resulting in the frequent issuance of weak recommendations. Despite this challenge, these recommendations regarding the management of children with septic shock and other sepsis-associated organ dysfunction provide a foundation for consistent care to improve outcomes and inform future research.

Elizabethkingia species often exhibit extensive antibiotic resistance and result in high morbidity and mortality, yet no systematic reviews exist that thoroughly characterize and quantify concerns for infected infants and children. We performed a review of literature and identified an initial 902 articles; 96 articles reporting 283 pediatric cases met our inclusion criteria and were subsequently reviewed. Case reports spanned 28 countries and ranged from 1944 to 2017. Neonatal meningitis remains the most common presentation of this organism in children, along with a range of other clinical manifestations. The majority of reported cases occurred as isolated cases, rather than within outbreaks. Mortality was high but has decreased in recent years, although neurologic sequelae among survivors remains concerning. Child outcomes can be improved through effective prevention measures and early identification and treatment of infected patients.

Abstract
AbstractObjective:Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) cause ~5%–10% of infections in hospitalized children, leading to an increased risk of death, prolonged hospitalization, and additional costs. Antibiotic exposure is considered a driving factor of MDRO acquisition; however, consensus regarding the impact of antibiotic factors, especially in children, is lacking. We conducted a systematic review to examine the relationship between antibiotic use and subsequent healthcare-associated infection or colonization with an MDRO in children.Design:Systematic review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guideline.Methods:We searched PubMed and Embase for all English, peer-reviewed original research studies published before September 2018. Included studies evaluated hospitalized children, antibiotic use as an exposure, and bacterial MDRO as an outcome.Results:Of the 535 studies initially identified, 29 met the inclusion criteria. Overall, a positive association was identified in most studies evaluating a specific antibiotic exposure (17 of 21, 81%), duration of antibiotics (9 of 12, 75%), and number of antibiotics received (2 of 3, 67%). Those studies that evaluated any antibiotic exposure had mixed results (5 of 10, 50%). Study sites, populations, and definitions of antibiotic use and MDROs varied widely.Conclusions:Published studies evaluating this relationship are limited and are of mixed quality. Limitations include observation bias in recall of antibiotic exposure, variations in case definitions, and lack of evaluation of antibiotic dosing and appropriateness. Additional studies exploring the impact of antibiotic use and MDRO acquisition may be needed to develop effective antibiotic stewardship programs for hospitalized children.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe characteristics of liver transplant patients with severe sepsis in the PICU. DESIGN Retrospective descriptive analysis. SETTING Tertiary children's hospital PICU. PATIENTS Liver transplant recipients admitted January 2010 to July 2016 for pediatric severe sepsis. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Between January 2010 and July 2016, 173 liver transplants were performed, and 36 of these patients (21%) were admitted with severe sepsis (54 episodes total). Median age at admission was 2 years (1-6.5 yr), 47.2% were male. Bacterial infections were the most common (77.8%), followed by culture negative (12.9%) and viral infections (7.4%). Fungal infections accounted for only 1.9%. Median time from transplant for viral and culture negative infections was 18 days (8.25-39.75 d) and 25 days (9-41 d), whereas 54.5 days (17-131.25 d) for bacterial infections. Bloodstream and intra-abdominal were the most common bacterial sites (45% and 22.5%, respectively). Multidrug-resistant organisms accounted for 47.6% of bacterial sepsis. Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producers were the most frequently identified multidrug-resistant organisms. Patients with multidrug-resistant organism sepsis demonstrated higher admission Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction scores (p = 0.043) and were noted to have an odds ratio of 3.8 and 3.6 for mechanical ventilation and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, respectively (p = 0.047 and p = 0.044). Overall mortality was 5.5% (n = 2 patients), with both deaths occurring in multidrug-resistant organism episodes. CONCLUSIONS We report that multidrug-resistant organisms are increasingly being identified as causative pathogens for sepsis in pediatric liver transplant recipients and are associated with significantly higher odds for mechanical ventilation and higher organ failure. The emergence of multidrug-resistant organism infections in pediatric liver transplant patients has implications for patient outcomes, antibiotic stewardship, and infection prevention strategies.

Abstract
The frequency of antimicrobial resistance has increased globally due to misuse and overuse of antibiotics, and multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria are now recognized as a major cause of hospital-acquired infections (HAI). Our aim was to investigate the prevalence, distribution, and antimicrobial susceptibility rates of MDR bacteria in patients with HAI from a tertiary hospital in China. We retrospectively evaluated all patients with a confirmed diagnosis of bacterial infection at a tertiary general hospital in Jining, for the period between January 2012 and December 2014. The following clinical and demographic data were collected: age, sex, specimens, treatment, microbiology results, and antibiotic resistance patterns of isolates. Bacterial identification and susceptibility testing were performed using VITEK 2 COMPACT system. We screened a total of 15,588 patients, out of which 7579 (48.6%) had an HAI. MDR showed 3223 out of 7579 isolates (42.5%). The most frequently isolated MDR bacteria in patients with HAI were extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli (n = 1216/3223, 37.7%), MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 627/3223, 19.5%) and MDR Acinetobacter baumannii (n = 588/3223, 18.2%). MDR-HAI were more common in males (2074/3223, 64.4%) and in elderly patients (≥60 years; 1196/3223, 37.1%). Sputum was the main source of MDR isolates (2056/3223, 63.8%). Patients with MDR-HAI were predominantly distributed in different types of intensive care units. MDR strains in our study showed resistance to most current antibiotics. Overall, patients with HAI infections attributed to MDR bacteria were widely distributed in our hospital. Enhanced surveillance of MDR bacteria is critical for guiding the rational use of antibiotics and reducing the incidence of HAI.

Abstract
Background Risk-based guidelines aid empiric antibiotic selection for critically ill adults with suspected infection with Gram-negative bacilli with high potential for antibiotic resistance (termed high-risk GNRs). Neither evidence-based guidelines for empiric antibiotic selection nor validated risk factors predicting high-risk GNR growth exist for critically ill children. We developed and validated a model for predicting high-risk GNR growth in critically ill children with suspected infection. Methods This is a retrospective cohort study involving 2 pediatric cohorts admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit (ICU) with suspected infection. We developed a risk model predicting growth of high-risk GNRs using multivariable regression analysis in 1 cohort and validated it in a separate cohort. Results In our derivation cohort (556 infectious episodes involving 489 patients), we identified the following independent predictors of high-risk GNR growth: hospitalization >48 hours before suspected infection, hospitalization within the past 4 weeks, recent systemic antibiotics, chronic lung disease, residence in a chronic care facility, and prior high-risk GNR growth. The model sensitivity was 96%, the specificity was 48%, performance using the Brier score was good, and the area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUROC) was 0.722, indicating good model performance. In our validation cohort (525 episodes in 447 patients), model performance was similar (AUROC, 0.733), indicating stable model performance. Conclusions Our model predicting high-risk GNR growth in critically ill children demonstrates the high sensitivity needed for ICU antibiotic decisions, good overall predictive capability, and stable performance in 2 separate cohorts. This model could be used to develop risk-based empiric antibiotic guidelines for the pediatric ICU.

Abstract
Severe infection is a primary cause of mortality in children facing challenges from multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens, particularly MDR Acinetobacter baumannii. Tigecycline has an expanded spectrum of antibacterial activity, and some successful instances of its use in children have been reported. We conducted a retrospective chart review of children treated at a tertiary hospital between May 1, 2012 and May 1, 2017 to examine the efficacy and safety of tigecycline in children with severe infection. A total of 110 patients (69 males) were enrolled in this study, including 46 MDR A. baumannii infection patients, encompassing 51 A. baumannii strains. Totally, the median duration of tigecycline therapy was 10 days (range, 2-47 days), with a clinical improvement rate of 47.27% (52/110). In A. baumannii infection group, the clinical improvement rate was 50% (23/46) and the microbiology eradication rate was 50.98% (26/51). No adverse events were reported during therapy; however, in one case, a 9-year-old boy with hematologic disease developed tooth discoloration.Conclusion: Although some patients benefited from tigecycline, the efficacy and safety of tigecycline should not be overvalued. Additional data from randomized controlled trials are required to assess the administration of tigecycline. What is Known: • Severe infection is a primary cause of mortality in pediatric patients and its treatment is facing challenges from an increasing number of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens. • Tigecycline has an expanded spectrum of antibacterial activity. • Several case reports have indicated that tigecycline could be used as a salvage therapy in children when options are limited or non-existent. What is New: • We found that rate of clinical improvement was different in various groups of different infection. The efficacy of tigecycline should not be overvalued. • Six dosage models and different infection types were observed in our series, with different improvement and eradication rate, indicating that more data are required to identify a proper tigecycline dosage.

Abstract
AIMS To identify the risk factors for multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria systematically and provide suggestions and an evidence-base for clinical measures. BACKGROUND With the increase in the social population, changes in human behaviour and ecosystems, as well as economic development, bacteria have gradually produced drug resistance genes. These have swept through intensive care units causing high mortality. METHODS Relevant literature which included case-control and cohort studies published from January 1999 to March 2017 were searched in the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, and Medline. Meta-analysis was performed by using StataSE version 12.0 software. RESULTS Eighteen studies of 235 publications were eligible. Male gender (OR 1.40, 95%CI 1.09, 1.80), having an operative procedure (OR 1.31, 95%CI 1.10, 1.56), a central venous catheter (OR 1.22, 95%CI 1.01, 1.48), mechanical ventilation (OR 1.25, 95%CI 1.07, 1.46), previous antibiotic therapy (OR 1.66, 95%CI 1.41, 1.96), length of ICU stay (weighted mean difference 8.18, 95%CI 0.27, 16.10), and types of health-associated infections were the identified risk factors for multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infection in intensive care units; moreover, diabetes mellitus was not. CONCLUSION Six risk factors were associated with multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infection in intensive care units. Antimicrobial stewardship, infection control, and medical staff prevention care are needed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite evidence of the high prevalence of antibiotic resistant infections in developing countries, studies on the clinical and economic impact of antibiotic resistance (ABR) to inform interventions to contain its emergence and spread are limited. The aim of this study was to analyze the published literature on the clinical and economic implications of ABR in developing countries. METHODS A systematic search was carried out in Medline via PubMed and Web of Sciences and included studies published from January 01, 2000 to December 09, 2016. All papers were considered and a quality assessment was performed using the Newcastle-Ottawa quality assessment scale (NOS). RESULTS Of 27 033 papers identified, 40 studies met the strict inclusion and exclusion criteria and were finally included in the qualitative and quantitative analysis. Mortality was associated with resistant bacteria, and statistical significance was evident with an odds ratio (OR) 2.828 (95%CI, 2.231-3.584; p = 0.000). ESKAPE pathogens was associated with the highest risk of mortality and with high statistical significance (OR 3.217; 95%CIs; 2.395-4.321; p = 0.001). Eight studies showed that ABR, and especially antibiotic-resistant ESKAPE bacteria significantly increased health care costs. CONCLUSION ABR is associated with a high mortality risk and increased economic costs with ESKAPE pathogens implicated as the main cause of increased mortality. Patients with non-communicable disease co-morbidities were identified as high-risk populations.

Abstract
Study Design Retrospective cohort study Objectives To identify independent risk factors associated with community-associated multidrug resistant P. aeruginosa (MDRPA) in a population of Veterans with spinal cord injury and disorders (SCI/D). Setting 127 Veterans Affairs healthcare facilities Methods Laboratory results from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2013 were collected and MDRPA cultures were compared to non-MDRPA cultures. Results One thousand four hundred forty one cultures were collected from Veterans with SCI/D, including 227 cultures with MDRPA isolates. Characteristics associated with an increased odds of MDRPA include age 50-64 (aOR= 1.80, 95% CI= 1.13-2.87), MDRPA culture in the past 365 days (aOR= 9.12, 95% CI= 5.88-14.15), and carbapenem exposure in the past 90 days (aOR= 2.56, 95% CI= 1.35-4.87). In contrast, paraplegia was associated with a 53% decreased odds of MDRPA compared to those with tetraplegia (aOR= 0.47, 95% CI= 0.32-0.69). Conclusions Risk factors for community-associated MDRPA include prior history of MDRPA and exposure to carbapenems. Awareness of these factors is important for targeted prevention and treatment of MDRPA in patients with SCI/D.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Childhood cancer, with its major psycho-social and health impact, needs long-term chemotherapy. Increasing the intensity of treatment results in improved outcomes of hematological malignancies and solid tumors. As cytostatics have a vascular irritating effect and multiple peripheric venous punctures cause pain, insertion of a long-term central venous catheter (CVC) during chemotherapy is often necessary.
Materials and methods: All pediatric patients (aged below 18 years) with hematologic and malignant pathologies who underwent CVC insertion at the Pediatric Hemato-oncology Department of the County Emergency Clinical Hospital of Tîrgu Mureș in the February 2014 – May 2016 period were enrolled in the study.
Results: We recorded 24 cases who received central venous catheters, out of which 14 patients received tunneled CVC, 7 patients port CVC, and 3 patients received initially tunneled CVC which was changed with port CVC. Tunneled catheters were preserved in average for 186.06 days and portacaths for 256.6 days. For infection prophylaxis and treatment every child received adequate antibiotic medication.
Conclusions: The use of central lines in pediatric hemato-oncology is accessible and benefic not only for increasing patient comfort, but also to ease the nurses' work, who are often overburdened.
