Retrospective analysis of molecular characteristics, risk factors, and outcomes in carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae bloodstream infections. BMC Microbiol 2024; 24:309. [PMID: 39174950 PMCID: PMC11340057 DOI: 10.1186/s12866-024-03465-4] [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: 05/15/2024] [Accepted: 08/16/2024] [Indexed: 08/24/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) is the second most prevalent Gram-negative bacterium causing bloodstream infections (BSIs). In recent years, the management of BSIs caused by KP has become increasingly complex due to the emergence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP). Although numerous studies have explored the risk factors for the development of CRKP-BSIs, the mortality of patients with KP-BSIs, and the molecular epidemiological characteristics of CRKP, the variability in data across different populations, countries, and hospitals has led to inconsistent conclusions. In this single-center retrospective observational study, we utilized logistic regression analyses to identify independent risk factors for CRKP-BSIs and factors associated with mortality in KP-BSI patients. Furthermore, a risk factor-based prediction model was developed. CRKP isolates underwent whole-genome sequencing (WGS), followed by an evaluation of microbiological characteristics, including antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes, as well as epidemiological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis. RESULTS Our study included a total of 134 patients with KP-BSIs, comprising 50 individuals infected with CRKP and 84 with carbapenem-susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae (CSKP). The independent risk factors for CRKP-BSIs were identified as gastric catheterization (OR = 9.143; CI = 1.357-61.618; P = 0.023), prior ICU hospitalization (OR = 4.642; CI = 1.312-16.422; P = 0.017), and detection of CRKP in non-blood sites (OR = 8.112; CI = 2.130-30.894; P = 0.002). Multivariate analysis revealed that microbiologic eradication after 6 days (OR = 3.569; CI = 1.119-11.387; P = 0.032), high Pitt bacteremia score (OR = 1.609; CI = 1.226-2.111; P = 0.001), and inappropriate empirical treatment after BSIs (OR = 6.756; CI = 1.922-23.753; P = 0.003) were independent risk factors for the 28-day mortality in KP-BSIs. The prediction model confirmed that microbiologic eradication after 6.5 days and a Pitt bacteremia score of 4.5 or higher were significant predictors of the 28-day mortality. Bioinformatics analysis identified ST11 as the predominant CRKP sequence type, with blaKPC-2 as the most prevalent gene variant. CRKP stains carried multiple plasmid-mediated resistance genes along with some virulence genes. Phylogenetic analysis indicated the presence of nosocomial transmission of ST11 CRKP within the ICU. CONCLUSIONS The analysis of risk factors for developing CRKP-BSIs and the association between KP-BSIs and 28-day mortality, along with the development of a risk factor-based prediction model and the characterization of CRKP strains, enhances clinicians' understanding of the pathogens responsible for BSIs. This understanding may help in the timely administration of antibiotic therapy for patients with suspected KP-BSIs, potentially improving outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) accounts for high antimicrobial resistance and mortality rates of bloodstream infections (BSIs). OBJECTIVES To investigate incidence, antimicrobial resistance and risk factors for mortality of KP BSIs in East China. METHODS A retrospective study of patients with KP BSIs was conducted in a tertiary care hospital from 2018 to 2022. Medical records of all hospitalised patients with KP BSIs were reviewed and analysed. The incidence, antimicrobial resistance and mortality of KP BSIs were evaluated. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot survival curves and logistic regression was used to analyse risk factors for crude 30-day mortality. RESULTS A total of 379 inpatients with KP BSIs were enrolled. The incidence of patients with KP BSIs was fluctuating between 4.77 and 9.40 per 100,000 patient-days. The crude 30-day mortality rate of these patients was 26.39%. Of the 379 KPisolates, 197 (51.98%) were carbapenem-resistant (CR) and 252 (66.49%) were multidrug-resistant (MDR). All isolates showed the lowest resistance to tigecycline (13.77%) and polymyxin B (14.61%). Cases with MDR/CR isolates had significantly longer length of hospital stay, higher crude 30-day mortality and medical costs than non-MDR/non-CR isolates. Age, CR phenotype, paracentesis, indwelling central venous catheter (CVC), use of carbapenems, tetracyclines, polymyxins B, and irrational empiric treatment were independently associated with crude 30-day mortality. CONCLUSION MDR/CR KP BSIs are associated with increased mortality, healthcare costs and prolonged hospitalisation. Patients with advanced age, CR phenotype, paracentesis, CVC, exposure to some antibiotics, and irrational empirical antibiotic treatment are at higher mortality risk.

J Infect Chemother 2024; 30:372-378. [PMID: 38369125 DOI: 10.1016/j.jiac.2024.02.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2023] [Revised: 12/24/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/20/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether mortality is lower in patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae bloodstream infection (BSI) who receive combination antimicrobial therapy than in those who receive monotherapy. METHODS Two authors independently searched for relevant articles in the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases through to August 10, 2023. Risk of bias was evaluated using the ROBINS-I tool. Possible sources of heterogeneity were evaluated by meta-regression using a mixed-effects model. RESULTS Among 8044 articles screened, there were 23 studies (3443 patients) that were eligible for meta-analysis. Meta-regression analysis identified the proportion of patients with carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) BSI to be a potential source of heterogeneity. Subgroup analysis showed that mortality on monotherapy was significantly higher when the proportion of patients with CRKP BSI was ≥50% (OR 1.75, 95% CI 1.33-2.30) and significantly lower when this proportion was <50% (OR 0.55, 95% CI 0.24-1.24). Overall mortality was significantly higher on tigecycline monotherapy (OR 2.86, 95% CI 1.46-5.59) than on combination therapy containing both these agents. There was a trend in favor of colistin/polymyxin B-containing combination therapy (OR 1.37, 95% CI 0.83-2.28). CONCLUSIONS Combination antimicrobial therapy can lower mortality in patients with CRKP but may not show a survival advantage over monotherapy when the proportion of patients with CRKP BSI is <50%. High-quality prospective observational studies are needed because of the high risk of bias and limited data in the studies performed to date.

Abstract
This study aimed to identify carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) based on changes in levels of its volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in simulated blood cultures (BCs) using the gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) technique. A comprehensive analysis of volatile metabolites produced by Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) in BC bottles was conducted using GC-IMS. Subsequently, the released VOCs were analyzed to examine differences in VOC release between CRKP and carbapenem-susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae (CSKP). A total of 54 VOCs were detected, of which 18 (6 VOCs found in both monomer and dimer forms) were successfully identified. The VOCs produced by K. pneumoniae in BC bottles (BacT/ALERT® SA) were primarily composed of organic acids, alcohols, esters, and ketones. The content of certain VOCs was significantly different between CRKP and CSKP after the addition of imipenem (IPM). Moreover, the inclusion of carbapenemase inhibitors facilitated the identification of carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae based on the variations in VOCs. This study demonstrates the utility of GC-IMS technology in identifying CRKP, and reveals that changes in VOCs are closely related to the growth and metabolism of K. pneumoniae, indicating that they can be leveraged to promote early identification of CRKP bacteremia. However, further in-depth studies and experiments are needed to validate our findings.

Abstract
Multi-drug resistant (MDR) Enterobacterales remain a major clinical problem. Infections caused by carbapenem-resistant strains are particularly difficult to treat. This study aimed to assess the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of MDR Enterobacterales isolates. A total of 154 non-repetitive clinical isolates, including Escherichia coli (n = 66), Klebsiella pneumoniae (n = 70), and other Enterobacterales (n = 18), were collected from the Diagnostic Microbiology Laboratory at King Fahad Hospital of the University. Most E. coli isolates were collected from urine specimens (n = 50, 75.8%) and resistance against the third and fourth-generation cephalosporins (ceftriaxone, ceftazidime, cefixime, and cefepime) and fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin) was assessed. Clonal relatedness analysis using enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus polymerase chain reaction (ERIC-PCR) revealed two clones (E. coli A and B), each comprising two strains. Most K. pneumoniae samples were collected from respiratory specimens (27.1%, 20 samples), and the strains showed overall resistance to most of the antimicrobials tested (54%‒100%). Moreover, clonal-relatedness analysis using ERIC-PCR revealed seven major clones of K. pneumoniae. These findings suggest nosocomial transmission among some identical strains and emphasize the importance of strict compliance with infection prevention and control policies and regulations. Environmental reservoirs could facilitate this indirect transmission, which needs to be investigated.

Clinical and Microbiological Risk Factors for 30-Day Mortality of Bloodstream Infections Caused by OXA-48-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae. Pathogens 2023; 13:11. [PMID: 38276157 PMCID: PMC10819929 DOI: 10.3390/pathogens13010011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2023] [Revised: 12/13/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Bloodstream infections (BSI) caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae are associated with high morbidity and mortality, and the therapy options available for their treatment are frequently scarce. The aim of this study was to analyze risk factors for 30-day mortality in patients with BSI caused by OXA-48-producing K. pneumoniae. The clinical and treatment features of the patients, who attended a single hospital over a five-year period, were retrospectively reviewed. The microbiological features, including the sequence types (ST) and the somatic (O) and capsular (K) antigens, as well as their resistance properties, comprising phenotypes and genetic background, were also considered. To identify the risk factors for 30-day mortality, uni- and multivariate statistical analyses were performed. The univariate analysis revealed statistically significant correlations for age, male gender, lower respiratory system infection, infection by ST147 isolates, and infection by isolates expressing the K64 antigen. The multivariate analysis, applied to variables yielding p-values close to or lower than 0.05 in the univariate analysis, confirmed gender, lower respiratory system infection, and infection with ST147 isolates, but not age or infection with K64 isolates, as risk factors for 30-day mortality. Moreover, the multivariate analysis showed that patients suffering from hematological malignancies or having been treated with inappropriate therapy, both having p-values slightly higher than 0.05 in the univariate analysis, exhibited significantly poorer outcomes in the multivariant analysis. The association of the ST147 clone with an increased risk of mortality is a novel finding that deserves further attention. Studies like the one presented here can certainly benefit the management of patients with nosocomial BSI caused by carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is increasingly being identified in children, but data on the clinical outcomes in this population are limited. This study aimed to characterise the risk factors for 30-day mortality with CRKP bloodstream infection (BSI) in children. METHODS A retrospective study was performed from January 2018 to December 2021 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. Patients aged < 18 years and with CRKP BSI were included. Multivariable Cox and logistic regression were performed to determine risk factors for death and the development of septic shock following CRKP infection, respectively. RESULTS This study identified 33 neonates aged 0-4 weeks and 37 older children. The 30-day mortality rate was 39.4% in neonates and 43.2% in older children. In the neonatal population, a higher Pitt bacteremia score (HR 1.694; 95% CI 1.313-2.186; P < 0.001) was an independent risk factor for 30-day mortality. In the non-neonatal population, higher platelet count (HR 0.990; 95% CI 0.982-0.998; P = 0.010), the use of carbapenems (HR 0.212; 95% CI 0.064-0.702; P = 0.011) and appropriately targeted antimicrobial treatment (HR 0.327; 95% CI 0.111-0.969; P = 0.044) were associated with decreased 30-day mortality. Monocyte count < 0.1 × 109 cells/L (OR 3.615; 95% CI 1.165-11.444; P = 0.026) and a higher Pitt bacteremia score (OR 1.330; 95% CI 1.048-1.688; P = 0.019) were identified as risk factors for the development of septic shock. CONCLUSIONS Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae BSI was associated with high mortality in children. Appropriate antimicrobial treatment is important to improve survival, but more work is needed to assess the efficacy of specific treatment regimens in children.

Comparison of bloodstream and non-bloodstream infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in the intensive care unit: a 9-year respective study. Front Med (Lausanne) 2023; 10:1230721. [PMID: 37795412 PMCID: PMC10547144 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1230721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 10/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Bloodstream infections (BSIs) caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) have received much attention. However, few studies have identified risk factors for CRKP BSIs in comparison to CRKP non-bloodstream infections (non-BSIs). This study aimed to compare the epidemiology, risk factors, and outcomes of CRKP BSIs and CRKP non-BSIs. Methods We conducted a retrospective study of patients infected with CRKP in the ICU from January 2012 to December 2020. Clinical characteristics and outcomes were compared between CRKP BSIs and CRKP non-BSIs. Predictors associated with 28-day all-cause mortality in CRKP-infected patients were also evaluated. Results 326 patients infected with CRKP were enrolled, including 96 patients with CRKP BSIs and 230 with CRKP non-BSIs. The rates of CRKP BSIs in CRKP infections were generally raised from 2012 (12.50%) to 2020 (45.76%). Multivariate logistic analysis indicated that the use of carbapenems within the prior 90 days was an independent risk factor for CRKP BSIs (p = 0.019). Compared to CRKP non-BSIs, CRKP isolates in the CRKP BSI group were found to be non-susceptible to more tested carbapenems (p = 0.001). Moreover, the CRKP BSI group exhibited a higher mortality rate (p = 0.036). The non-susceptibility of CRKP isolates to more tested carbapenems (p = 0.025), a high SOFA score (p = 0.000), and the use of antifungal drugs within the prior 90 days (p = 0.018) were significant factors for 28-day all-cause mortality in CRKP-infected patients. Conclusion The proportion of CRKP BSI increased progressively in CRKP-infected patients over 9 years. The use of carbapenems within the prior 90 days was an independent risk factor for the development of CRKP BSIs. The non-susceptibility of CRKP isolates to more tested carbapenems and a higher mortality rate were found in the CRKP BSI group.

Infect Drug Resist 2023; 16:4943-4952. [PMID: 37546370 PMCID: PMC10402715 DOI: 10.2147/idr.s419064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2023] [Accepted: 07/26/2023] [Indexed: 08/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and prognostic risk factors of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) bloodstream infections in patients with hematologic malignancies. Methods Medical records and drug susceptibility data of patients with hematologic malignancies complicated by CRPA bloodstream infections admitted to the Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2022, were retrospectively analyzed. Results A total of 64 patients were included in the study, with a mortality rate of 37.5% (24/64) at 28 days after the occurrence of CRPA bloodstream infection. In Cox regression analysis, an absolute neutrophil count <0.5×109/L at discharge (HR 0.039, 95% CI 0.006 ~ 0.258, p=0.001), admission to the intensive care unit (HR 7.546, 95% CI 1.345 ~ 42.338, p= 0.022), and a higher Pitt bacteremia score (HR 0.207, 95% CI 0.046 ~ 0.939, p = 0.041) were independent risk factors associated with 28-day mortality. Survival analysis showed that patients receiving ceftazidime-avibactam-based (HR 0.368, 95% CI 0.107~ 1.268, p = 0.023) or polymyxin B (HR 2.561, 95% CI 0.721 ~ 9.101, p = 0.015) therapy had a higher survival rate. Conclusion Patients with hematologic neoplasms had high mortality from CRPA bloodstream infections, and admission to the intensive care unit, higher Pitt bacteremia score (PBS) scores, granulocyte deficiency, and granulocyte deficiency at discharge were independently associated with higher mortality. Early anti-infective treatment with ceftazidime-avibactam or polymyxin B may improve the clinical prognosis of patients.

Abstract
The increasing reports of multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae have emerged as a public health concern, raising questions about the potential routes for the evolution and dissemination of the pathogenic K. pneumoniae into environmental reservoirs. Potential drivers of the increased incidence of antimicrobial-resistant environmental K. pneumoniae include the eminent global climatic variations as a direct or indirect effect of human activities. The ability of microorganisms to adapt and grow at an exponential rate facilitates the distribution of environmental strains with acquired resistant mutations into water systems, vegetation, and soil which are major intersection points with animals and humans. The bacterial pathogen, K. pneumoniae, is one of the critical-priority pathogens listed by the World Health Organization, mostly associated with hospital-acquired infections. However, the increasing prevalence of pathogenic environmental strains with similar characteristics to clinical-antibiotic-resistant K. pneumoniae isolates is concerning. Considering the eminent impact of global climatic variations in the spread and dissemination of multidrug-resistant bacteria, in this review, we closely assess factors influencing the dissemination of this pathogen resulting in increased interaction with the environment, human beings, and animals. We also look at the recent developments in rapid detection techniques as part of the response measures to improve surveillance and preparedness for potential outbreaks. Furthermore, we discuss alternative treatment strategies that include secondary metabolites such as biosurfactants and plant extracts with high antimicrobial properties.

Abstract
PURPOSE The data on pediatrics with Multidrug-Resistant (MDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae infections are scarce. This study aims to investigate the molecular epidemiology of MDR Klebsiella pneumoniae, detect the mechanism of drug resistance, and determine the clinical risk factors for carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumonia (CRKP) bloodstream infections (BSIs) in a children's hospital. METHODS A total of 62 strains were collected from Tianjin Children's Hospital. Carba NP and polymerase chain reactions (PCR) were performed to detect MDR mechanisms. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) was used for analyzing strain homology. Clinical data were collected and logistic regression was used for BSI risk factors. RESULTS ST11 was the principal ST among the CRKP isolates clinically, accounting for 56.45% (35/62); there were also 57.14% (20/35) ST11 CRKP strains co-carrying bla NDM-5 and bla KPC-2, which were resistant to most of the tested antibiotics, being susceptible only to cotrimoxazole and tigecycline. The clinical data showed that 72.73% (40/55) of children with CRKP infection had serious underlying diseases; 20.00% (11/55) patients developed BSIs with the potential to cause multiple organ failure, shock and death. The logistic regression showed that the risk of BSIs caused by CRKP strain infections in children with hematological malignancies after chemotherapy was 7 times that of other children (95%Cl: 1.298-45.415, P=0.025). CONCLUSION ST11 was the prevalent clone in our hospital. The emergence of ST11 CRKP co-carrying bla NDM-5 and bla KPC-2 should be a cause for alarm as they were resistant to most of the tested antibiotics. CRKP strain infections are mainly occurring in young immunocompromised patients and the chemotherapy for hematological malignancies is an independent risk factor for BSIs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) has become a significant public health problem in the last decade. We aimed to explore the risk factors of mortality in patients with CRE infections and to focus on the current evidence on antimicrobial regimens for CRE infections, particularly from the perspective of mortality. METHODS A systematic literature review was performed by searching the databases of EMBASE, PubMed, and the Cochrane Library to identify studies that evaluated mortality-related risk factors and antimicrobial regimens for CRE infections published from 2012 to 2022. RESULTS In total, 33 and 28 studies were included to analyze risk factors and antibiotic treatment, respectively. The risk factors most frequently reported as significantly associated with CRE mortality were antibiotic use (92.9%; 26/28 studies), comorbidities (88.7%; 23/26 studies), and hospital-related factors (82.8%; 24/29 studies). In 10 studies that did not contain ceftazidime/avibactam (CAZ-AVI) therapy, seven demonstrated significantly lower mortality in combination therapy than in monotherapy. However, 5 of 6 studies identified no substantial difference between CAZ-AVI monotherapy and CAZ-AVI combination therapy. Six studies reported substantially lower mortality in CAZ-AVI regimens than in other regimens. CONCLUSION Several risk factors, particularly antibiotic use and patients' comorbidities, are strong risk factors for CRE mortality. The optimal regimen for CRE infections remains controversial. Combination therapy should be considered when carbapenems, colistin, tigecycline, or aminoglycosides are administered. CAZ-AVI appears to be a promising antibiotic for CRE infections. Most importantly, treatment should be individualized according to the source and severity of the disease or other highly related risk factors.

Sci Rep 2022; 12:20105.

Abstract
To investigate the bacterial epidemiology of blood cultures taken during the treatment of critically ill burn patients, the use of antibiotics at admission and before the observation of positive blood cultures, and their effect on prognosis. A retrospective study method was used. From January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2019, burn patients who met the inclusion criteria and were treated at the Burn Department, Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, were enrolled in the study. Data were collected from the patients' electronic medical records. General patient information, including length of hospital stay, length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, in-hospital mortality, the bacteria epidemiological characteristics of blood cultures, and the use of antibiotics within 24 h after admission and before a positive blood culture was observed, was collected. Independent sample t tests and χ2 tests were used to compare the effects of a positive blood culture and the use of appropriate antibiotics within 24 h after admission and before the observation of a positive blood culture on prognosis. (1) The three most frequently detected bacteria in the blood cultures were Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii, and the amount of K. pneumoniae detected increased gradually. (2) Compared with the group of patients who were negative for bloodstream infection , the positive bloodstream infection group had a larger total body burn surface area (TBSA) (t = - 5.097, P = 0.000) and third-degree burn area (t = - 5.133, P = 0.000), a significantly longer length of hospital stay (t = 3.003, P = 0.003) and the length of ICU stay (t = 4.258, P = 0.000), and a significantly higher rate of in-hospital mortality (χ2 = 8.485, P = 0.004). When K. pneumoniae was detected, the length of hospital stay (t = 2.148, P = 0.035) and the length of ICU stay (t = 2.880, P = 0.005) were significantly prolonged. (3) The two antibiotics that were most frequently used in patients with acute burns within 24 h after admission were lincomycin (90 cases, 29.32%) and carbapenems (79 cases, 25.73%). Comparing the clinical characteristics of the lincomycin group and the carbapenem group, the TBSA (t = - 3.34, P = 0.001) and the third-degree burn area (t = - 6.08, P = 0.000) of the patients in the carbapenem group were larger, and the length of hospital stay (t = - 2.136, P = 0.035) and length of ICU stay (t = - 5.18, P = 0.000) were longer, but the difference in in-hospital mortality was not statistically significant (χ2 = 1.983, P = 0.159). (4) Comparing the group with appropriate initial antibiotic use within 24 h of admission to the inappropriate use group, the TBSA (t = - 0.605, P = 0.547), the third-degree burn area (t = 0.348, P = 0.729), the length of hospital stay (t = - 0.767, P = 0.445), the length of ICU stay (t = - 0.220, P = 0.827) and in-hospital mortality (χ2 = 1.271, P = 0.260) were not significantly different. (5) Comparing the group with appropriate antibiotic use before a positive blood culture was observed to the group with inappropriate antibiotic use, the TBSA (t = - 0.418, P = 0.677), the third-degree burn area (t = 0.266, P = 0.791), the length of hospital stay, the length of ICU stay (t = 0.995, P = 0.322) and in-hospital mortality (χ2 = 1.274, P = 0.259) were not significantly different. We found that patients with a positive blood culture had a larger burn area and a worse prognosis; that the greater the amount of K. pneumoniae in the bloodstream of burn patients was, the longer the hospital and ICU stays were; that whether appropriate antibiotics were administered to acute critical burn patients 24 h after admission had no effect on the prognosis; and that whether appropriate antibiotics were administered before a positive blood culture was observed had no effect on prognosis.

Abstract
Background Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, especially Klebsiella pneumonia, have become a severe global problem with a significant threat to public health, but few studies have investigated the risk factors and epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant K. pneumonia (CRKP) infections in India. Methods We performed a retrospective observational study of 224 participants with K. pneumoniae who were admitted to the medical intensive care unit (ICU) of Institute of Medical Sciences and SUM Hospital, Bhubaneswar, India, between January 1 and December 30, 2020. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was done by automated broth microdilution VITEK® 2 (BioMerieux, Inc., Hazelwood, USA). The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute document M100-S22 (January 2020) was used to interpret antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Data were obtained from paper medical records. Results Two hundred and twenty-four subjects with culture-positive for K. pneumonia were retrieved during the study period, out of which 108 had CRKP. The risk factors for univariate analysis were Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II, ICU length of stay (LOS), invasive mechanical ventilator days, central venous catheter days, and arterial line days. The multivariate analysis showed invasive mechanical ventilation and ICU LOS were independent risk factors for CRKP infection. Mortality in the CRKP group was 48 (44%) compared to 27 (23%) in the carbapenem-sensitive K. pneumonia (CSKP) group, which was statistically significant (P < 0.01). Conclusion Infection due to CRKP in the ICU was associated with 1.9 times higher mortality as compared to CSKP. Invasive mechanical ventilation and ICU LOS were found to be independent risk factors for CRKP infection.

Abstract
Drug-resistant bacterial infections are a global health concern with high mortality and limited treatment options. Several clinical risk-severity scores are available, e.g. qPitt, but their predictive performance is moderate. Here, we leveraged machine learning and electronic health records (EHRs) to improve prediction of mortality due to bloodstream infection with Klebsiella pneumoniae. We tested the qPitt score and new EHR variables (either expert-chosen or the full set of diagnostic codes), fitting LASSO, boosted logistic regression (BLR), support vector machines, decision trees, and random forests. The qPitt score showed moderate discriminative ability (AUROC=0.63), whilst machine learning models significantly improved its performance (best AUROC by BLR 0.80 for expert-chosen and 0.88 for full code set). Similar results were obtained in critically ill patients, and when excluding potential non-causal variables to evaluate an actionable model. In conclusion, current risk scores for bacteremia mortality can be improved and, with opportune causal modelling, considered for deployment in clinical decision-making.
