Abstract
2019–2020 at 6 US sites. Among 159 CRE cases in children (median age 5 years), CRE was isolated from urine for 131 (82.4%) and blood from 20 (12.6%). Annual CRE incidence rate (cases/100,000 population) was 0.47–0.87. Among 207 ESBL-E cases in children (median age 6 years), ESBL-E was isolated from urine of 196 (94.7%) and blood of 8 (3.9%). Annual ESBL-E incidence rate was 26.5 in 2019 and 19.63 in 2020. CRE and ESBL-E rates were >2-fold higher among infants than other age groups. Most CRE and ESBL-E cases were healthcare-associated community-onset (68 [43.0%] for CRE vs. 40 [23.7%] for ESBL-E) or community-associated (43 [27.2%] for CRE vs. 109 [64.5%] for ESBL-E). Programs to detect, prevent, and treat multidrug-resistant infections must include pediatric populations (particularly the youngest) and outpatient settings.

Abstract
Background Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) are an urgent public health threat in the United States. Objective Describe the clinical and molecular epidemiology of CRE in a multicenter pediatric cohort. Methods CRACKLE-1 and CRACKLE-2 are prospective cohort studies with consecutive enrollment of hospitalized patients with CRE infection or colonization between 24 December 2011 and 31 August 2017. Patients younger than age 18 years and enrolled in the CRACKLE studies were included in this analysis. Clinical data were obtained from the electronic health record. Carbapenemase genes were detected using polymerase chain reaction and whole-genome sequencing. Results Fifty-one children were identified at 18 healthcare system study sites representing all U.S. census regions. The median age was 8 months, with 67% younger than age 2 years. Median number of days from admission to culture collection was 11. Seventy-three percent of patients had required intensive care and 41% had a history of mechanical ventilation. More than half of children had no documented comorbidities (Q1, Q3 0, 2). Sixty-seven percent previously received antibiotics during their hospitalization. The most common species isolated were Enterobacter species (41%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (27%), and Escherichia coli (20%). Carbapenemase genes were detected in 29% of isolates tested, which was lower than previously described in adults from this cohort (61%). Thirty-four patients were empirically treated on the date of culture collection, but only 6 received an antibiotic to which the CRE isolate was confirmed susceptible in vitro. Thirty-day mortality was 13.7%. Conclusions CRE infection or colonization in U.S. children was geographically widespread, predominantly affected children younger than age 2 years, associated with significant mortality, and less commonly caused by carbapenemase-producing strains than in adults.

Abstract
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) are an urgent public health threat. Genomic sequencing is an important tool for investigating CRE. Through the Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion Sentinel Surveillance system, we collected CRE and carbapenem-susceptible Enterobacterales (CSE) from nine clinical laboratories in the USA from 2013 to 2016 and analysed both phenotypic and genomic sequencing data for 680 isolates. We describe the molecular epidemiology and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) data of this collection of isolates. We also performed a phenotype-genotype correlation for the carbapenems and evaluated the presence of virulence genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae complex isolates. These AST and genomic sequencing data can be used to compare and contrast CRE and CSE at these sites and serve as a resource for the antimicrobial resistance research community.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance is a public health threat of the utmost importance, especially when it comes to children: according to WHO data, infections caused by multidrug resistant bacteria produce 700,000 deaths across all ages, of which around 200,000 are newborns. This surging issue has multipronged roots that are specific to the pediatric age. For instance, the problematic overuse and misuse of antibiotics (for wrong diagnoses and indications, or at wrong dosage) is also fueled by the lack of pediatric-specific data and trials. The ever-evolving nature of this age group also poses another issue: the partly age-dependent changes of a developing system of cytochromes determine a rather diverse population in terms of biochemical characteristics and pharmacokinetics profiles, hard to easily codify in an age- or weight-dependent dosage. The pediatric population is also penalized by the contraindications of tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones, and by congenital malformations which often require repeated hospitalizations and pharmacological and surgical treatments from a very young age. Emerging threats for the pediatric age are MRSA, VRSA, ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae, carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and the alarming colistin resistance. Urgent actions need to be taken in order to step back from a now likely post-antibiotic era, where simple infections might cause infant death once again.

Abstract
Background: The resistance rate of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) is increasing yearly but rarely reported in children. Objectives: This retrospective study analyzed the characteristics of isolated CRE strains in pediatric patients, intending to explore reasonable antimicrobial treatment options. Methods: Some CRE isolates were collected from infected pediatric patients in Liaocheng People’s Hospital from January 2014 to December 2019. The strain identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing were conducted using Vitek mass spectrometry and the Vitek 2 system, respectively. The carbapenemase genotypes of blaKPC, blaIMP, blaVIM, blaNDM-1, and blaOXA-48 were each detected by polymerase chain reaction and sequencing. The molecular homology analysis of strains was conducted via Pulse-field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE). The clinical data of CRE-infected pediatric patients were collected from the hospital’s medical data information system. Results: Twenty CRE strains were isolated from 1945 infected pediatric patients with Enterobacteriaceae. All CRE strains showed multiple resistance to commonly used antimicrobials. Twelve strains of imipenemase (IMP)-4 and seven strains of IMP-8 carbapenemase were confirmed. Besides, PFGE revealed that two strains of Escherichia coli and three of Klebsiella pneumoniae had indistinguishable patterns. Sixteen patients were cured, including 10 patients using piperacillin/tazobactam. Conclusions: This study found the major sources of resistance were IMP carbapenemases. Piperacillin/tazobactam is potentially effective for the treatment of CRE infection, despite insensitivity in vitro.

Abstract
Ceftolozane/tazobactam (C/T), a cephalosporin/beta-lactamase inhibitor combination, was evaluated in vitro vs. 10 comparators against 299 pediatric extended-spectrum-cephalosporin-resistant or carbapenem-resistant (ESC-R/CR) Gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae from three freestanding pediatric centers. Isolates were from urine or other sterile sites of children and adolescents through 21 years of age. Susceptibilities were assayed by microbroth dilution via custom Sensititre plates (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Susceptibility was determined using the Sensititre Vizion® system (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Susceptibility breakpoint criteria were those of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) for 2017, except for colistin (EUCAST 2019). Overall, 87.5% isolates were C/T susceptible (MIC ≤2 μg/ml; MIC50/90, 0.25/4 μg/ml). Susceptibility to C/T was detected more frequently as compared to all other antimicrobials tested except for colistin (95.4%) and meropenem (97.4%). Percent susceptibility to C/T was high for E. coli (91%) and Klebsiella spp. (73.3%). C/T demonstrated good in-vitro activity and high potency against most beta-lactam resistant pediatric Enterobacteriaceae from three geographically diverse U.S. regions.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to detect CMY-type beta-lactamases in E. coli isolates obtained from paediatric patients.
Methods In total, 404 infection-causing E. coli isolates resistant to third and fourth generation cephalosporins (3GC, 4GC) were collected from paediatric patients over a 2 years period. The identification and susceptibility profiles were determined with an automated microbiology system. Typing of blaCMY and other beta-lactamase genes (blaTEM, blaSHV, blaCTX-M, blaVIM, blaIMP, blaKPC, blaNDM, blaOXA and blaGES) was realized by PCR and sequencing. Phenotypic detection of AmpC-type enzymes was performed using boronic acid (20 mg/mL) and cloxacillin (20 mg/mL) as inhibitors, and the production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases was determined with the double-disk diffusion test with cefotaxime (CTX) and ceftazidime (CAZ) discs alone and in combination with clavulanic acid. The CarbaNP test and modified carbapenem inhibition method (mCIM) were used for isolates with decreased susceptibility to carbapenems. The clonal origin of the isolates was established by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), phylotyping method and multilocus sequence typing.
Results CMY-type beta-lactamases were detected in 18 isolates (4.5%). The allelic variants found were CMY-2 (n = 14) and CMY-42 (n = 4). Of the E. coli strains with CMY, the AmpC phenotypic production test was positive in 11 isolates with cloxacillin and in 15 with boronic acid. ESBL production was detected in 13 isolates. Coexistence with other beta-lactamases was observed such as CTX-M-15 ESBL and original spectrum beta-lactamases TEM-1 and TEM-190. In one isolate, the CarbaNP test was negative, the mCIM was positive, and OXA-48 carbapenemase was detected. Phylogroup A was the most frequent (n = 9) followed by B2, E and F (n = 2, respectively), and through PFGE, no clonal relationship was observed. Eleven different sequence types (ST) were found, with ST10 high-risk clone being the most frequent (n = 4). Seventy-two percent of the isolates were from health care-associated infections; the mortality rate was 11.1%.
Conclusions This is the first report in Mexico of E. coli producing CMY isolated from paediatric patients, demonstrating a frequency of 4.5%. In addition, this is the first finding of E. coli ST10 with CMY-2 and OXA-48.

Abstract
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are the most frequent and severe complication acquired in healthcare settings with high impact in terms of morbidity, mortality and costs. Many bacteria could be implicated in these infections, but, expecially multidrug resistance bacteria could play an important role. Many microbial typing technologies have been developed until to the the bacterial whole-genome sequencing and the choice of a molecular typing method therefore will depend on the skill level and resources of the laboratory and the aim and scale of the investigation. In several studies the molecular investigation of pathogens involved in HAIs was performed with many microorganisms identified as causative agents such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Clostridium difficile, Acinetobacter spp., Enterobacter spp., Enterococcus spp., Staphylococcus aureus and several more minor species. Here, we will describe the most and least frequently reported clonal complex, sequence types and ribotypes with their worldwide geographic distribution for the most important species involved in HAIs.

Abstract
Introduction The pandemic of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-(ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae (Ent) is strongly linked to the dissemination of CTX-M-type-ESBL-Ent. We sought to define the epidemiology of infections in children due to an emerging resistance type, CTX-M-9-group-producing-Ent (CTX-M-9-grp-Ent). Methods A retrospective matched case-control analysis of children with CTX-M-9-grp-Ent infections who received medical care at three Chicago area hospitals was performed. Cases were defined as children possessing extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant (ESC-R) infections due to blaCTX-M-9. PCR and DNA analysis assessed beta-lactamase (bla) genes, multi-locus sequence types (MLST) and phylogenetic grouping of E. coli. Controls were children with ESC-susceptible (ESC-S)-Ent infections matched one case to three controls by age, source, and hospital. The clinical-epidemiologic predictors of CTX-M-9-grp-Ent infection were assessed. Results Of 356 ESC-R-Ent isolates from children (median age 4.1 years), the CTX-M-9-group was the solely detected bla gene in 44 (12.4%). The predominant species was E. coli (91%) of virulent phylogroups D (60%) and B2 (40%). MLST revealed multiple strain types. On multivariable analysis, CTX-M-9-grp-Ent occurred more often in E. coli than other Ent genera (OR 7.4, 95% CI 2.4, 27.2), children of non-Black-White-Hispanic race (OR 7.4, 95% CI 2.4, 28.2), and outpatients (OR 4.5, 95% CI 1.7, 12.3), which was a very unexpected finding for infections due to antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Residents of South Chicago had a 6.7 times higher odds of having CTX-M-9-grp-Ent infections than those in the reference region (West), while residence in Northwestern Chicago was associated with an 81% decreased odds of infection. Other demographic, comorbidity, invasive-device, and antibiotic use differences were not found. Conclusion CTX-M-9-grp-Ent infection may be associated with patient residence and is occurring in children without traditional in-patient exposure risk factors. This suggests that among children, the community environment may be a key contributor in the spread of these resistant pathogens.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance is a global public health threat and a danger that continues to escalate. These menacing bacteria are having an impact on all populations; however, until recently, the increasing trend in drug-resistant infections in infants and children has gone relatively unrecognized. This article highlights the current clinical and molecular data regarding infection with antibiotic-resistant bacteria in children, with an emphasis on transmissible resistance and spread via horizontal gene transfer.

Antibiotic Prophylaxis Is Associated with Subsequent Resistant Infections in Children with an Initial Extended-Spectrum-Cephalosporin-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae Infection. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2017; 61:AAC.02656-16. [PMID: 28289030 DOI: 10.1128/aac.02656-16] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2017] [Accepted: 03/04/2017] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
The objective of this study was to assess the association between previous antibiotic use, particularly long-term prophylaxis, and the occurrence of subsequent resistant infections in children with index infections due to extended-spectrum-cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae We also investigated the concordance of the index and subsequent isolates. Extended-spectrum-cephalosporin-resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. isolated from normally sterile sites of patients aged <22 years were collected along with associated clinical data from four freestanding pediatric centers. Subsequent isolates were categorized as concordant if the species, resistance determinants, and fumC-fimH (E. coli) or tonB (Klebsiella pneumoniae) type were identical to those of the index isolate. In total, 323 patients had 396 resistant isolates; 45 (14%) patients had ≥1 subsequent resistant infection, totaling 73 subsequent resistant isolates. The median time between the index and first subsequent infections was 123 (interquartile range, 43 to 225) days. In multivariable Cox proportional hazards analyses, patients were 2.07 times as likely to have a subsequent resistant infection (95% confidence interval, 1.11 to 3.87) if they received prophylaxis in the 30 days prior to the index infection. In 26 (58%) patients, all subsequent isolates were concordant with their index isolate, and 7 (16%) additional patients had at least 1 concordant subsequent isolate. In 12 of 17 (71%) patients with E. coli sequence type 131 (ST131)-associated type 40-30, all subsequent isolates were concordant. Subsequent extended-spectrum-cephalosporin-resistant infections are relatively frequent and are most commonly due to bacterial strains concordant with the index isolate. Further study is needed to assess the role prophylaxis plays in these resistant infections.
