Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to explore differences in prevalence, resistance, biofilm-forming ability and virulence between carbapenem-non-susceptible and carbapenem-susceptible Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC) in different clusters. METHODS Ninety-one carbapenem-non-susceptible isolates and an equal number of carbapenem-susceptible isolates and their clinical information were collected from a university teaching hospital in China. The strains were divided into different clusters based on hsp60 analysis. The agar dilution method was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations of common antibiotics. The crystal violet assay was used to measure biofilm-forming ability. The Galleria mellonella infection model and polymerase chain reaction of virulence genes were used to evaluate virulence. RESULTS The isolates were divided into 12 clusters based on hsp60 analysis. Cluster VIII accounted for a greater proportion of carbapenem-non-susceptible isolates than the other clusters. The same clusters exhibited different resistance rates in carbapenem-non-susceptible and carbapenem-susceptible isolates. Moreover, carbapenem-non-susceptible isolates carried fewer virulence genes than carbapenem-susceptible isolates, and carbapenem-non-susceptible isolates in cluster II in did not carry the detected virulence genes. Virulence of carbapenem-non-susceptible and carbapenem-susceptible isolates differed significantly in clusters I, III, VIII and IX, as evaluated using the G. mellonella infection model. Carbapenem-non-susceptible isolates in cluster VIII showed higher prevalence, resistance, biofilm-forming ability and pathogenicity compared with the other clusters. CONCLUSIONS The study findings indicate the need to identify subgroups of ECC, and provide better advice and guidance for the use of carbapenems.

Cost-Effectiveness of Imipenem/Cilastatin/Relebactam Compared with Colistin in Treatment of Gram-Negative Infections Caused by Carbapenem-Non-Susceptible Organisms.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam (IMI/REL), a combination β-lactam antibiotic (imipenem) with a novel β-lactamase inhibitor (relebactam), is an efficacious and well-tolerated option for the treatment of hospitalized patients with gram-negative (GN) bacterial infections caused by carbapenem-non-susceptible (CNS) pathogens. This study examines cost-effectiveness of IMI/REL vs. colistin plus imipenem (CMS + IMI) for the treatment of infection(s) caused by confirmed CNS pathogens. METHODS We developed an economic model comprised of a decision-tree depicting initial hospitalization, and a Markov model projecting long-term health and economic impacts following discharge. The decision tree, informed by clinical data from RESTORE-IMI 1 trial, modeled clinical outcomes (mortality, cure rate, and adverse events including nephrotoxicity) in the two comparison scenarios of IMI/REL versus CMS + IMI for patients with CNS GN infection. Subsequently, a Markov model translated these hospitalization stage outcomes (i.e., death or uncured infection) to long-term consequences such as quality-adjusted life years (QALYs). Sensitivity analyses were conducted to test the model robustness. RESULTS IMI/REL compared to CMS + IMI demonstrated a higher cure rate (79.0% vs. 52.0%), lower mortality (15.2% vs. 39.0%), and reduced nephrotoxicity (14.6% vs. 56.4%). On average a patient treated with IMI/REL vs. CMS + IMI gained additional 3.7 QALYs over a lifetime. Higher drug acquisition costs for IMI/REL were offset by shorter hospital length of stay and lower AE-related costs, which result in net savings of $11,015 per patient. Sensitivity analyses suggested that IMI/REL has a high likelihood (greater than 95%) of being cost-effective at a US willingness-to-pay threshold of $100,000-150,000 per QALY. CONCLUSIONS For patients with confirmed CNS GN infection, IMI/REL could yield favorable clinical outcomes and may be cost-saving-as the higher IMI/REL drug acquisition cost is offset by reduced nephrotoxicity-related cost-for the US payer compared to CMS + IMI.

Abstract
Background Immunoglobulins (Igs) and cells of the innate and adaptive immune systems play a critical role in a host's response to sepsis. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible differences in the levels of Igs, white blood cells (WBCs), and T and B lymphocytes cells in relation to the microbiological and clinical responses of patients with sepsis or septic shock from carbapenem non-susceptible Gram-negative bacteria (CnS-GNB). Methods This pilot cohort study involved 24 hospitalized patients with sepsis or septic shock due to bacteremia from CnS-GNB. The microbiological and clinical responses of the patients were evaluated in relation to their blood levels of IgA, IgE, IgM and IgG, as well as WBCs and subpopulations of T and B cells upon sepsis diagnosis. A microbiological response was determined as clearance of bacteremia at 14 days of active antibiotic treatment for the isolated bacterial pathogen. Clinical response was defined as the resolution of all clinical and laboratory signs of infection and sepsis at 14 days of active antibiotic treatment for the isolated pathogen. Results From the 24 patients included in the study 18 (75%) and six patients (25%) presented and did not present microbiological response respectively, while 16 patients presented clinical response (64%) and eight patients (36%) did not have clinical response. The levels of the Igs did not show statistically significant differences between patients with sepsis from CnS-GNB bacteremia who exhibited microbiological or clinical response. There were also no statistically significant differences in the levels of WBCs and the subpopulations of T and B cells levels for these patients (P > 0.05). According to this pilot study, peripheral blood Igs and lymphocyte subpopulations levels do not affect the clinical and microbiological response of septic patients with bacteremia from CnS-GNB. Conclusions In patients with sepsis or septic shock from CnSGNB, there were no differences in the levels of Igs, circulating WBCs and T and B cells subpopulations between those with microbiological or clinical response and non-responders.

Abstract
Background Carbapenem is frequently used when gram negative bacilli (GNB) bacteremia is detected especially in neutropenic patients. Consequently, appropriate treatment could be delayed in GNB bacteremia cases involving organisms which are not susceptible to carbapenem (carba-NS), resulting in a poor clinical outcomes. Here, we explored risk factors for carba-NS GNB bacteremia and its clinical outcomes in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) that underwent chemotherapy. Methods We reviewed all GNB bacteremia cases that occurred during induction or consolidation chemotherapy, over a 15-year period, in a tertiary-care hospital. Results Among 489 GNB bacteremia cases from 324 patients, 45 (9.2%) were carba-NS and 444 (90.8%) were carbapenem susceptible GNB. Independent risk factors for carba-NS GNB bacteremia were: carbapenem use at bacteremia onset (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 91.2; 95% confidence interval [95%CI]: 29.3–284.1; P < 0.001); isolation of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (aOR: 19.4, 95%CI: 3.4–112.5; P = 0.001) in the prior year; and days from chemotherapy to GNB bacteremia (aOR: 1.1 per day, 95%CI: 1.1–1.2; P < 0.001). Carba-NS bacteremia was independently associated with in-hospital mortality (aOR: 6.6, 95%CI: 3.0–14.8; P < 0.001). Conslusion Carba-NS organisms should be considered for antibiotic selection in AML patients having these risk factors.
