Clinical Manifestation of Ralstonia mannitolilytica Infection in Pediatric Patients and Epidemiological Investigation of Outbreaks

Gahee Kim, Ree Nar Yoo, Hyejin So, Jeong-Young Lee, Mi-Na Kim, Sung-Han Kim, Won Kyoung Jhang, Seong Jong Park, Jina Lee

Summary: Ralstonia mannitolilytica is a causative organism of nosocomial infections, particularly associated with contaminated water, and resistant to various antibiotics, including carbapenems. In this study, 18 patients with R. mannitolilytica infection were included, with 94.4% diagnosed with pneumonia and 5.6% with central line-associated bloodstream infection. The all-cause 30-day mortality rate was 61.1%, and environmental sampling identified R. mannitolylica at a cold-water tap of a water purifier and an exhalation circuit of a patient mechanical ventilator.

Antimicrobial Treatment on a Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infection (CRBSI) Case Due to Transition of a Multi-Drug-Resistant Ralstonia mannitolilytica from Commensal to Pathogen during Hospitalization

Junyan Liu, Brian M. Peters, Ling Yang, Hui Yu, Donghua Feng, Dingqiang Chen, Zhenbo Xu

Summary: In this study, a distinct clone of Ralstonia mannitolilytica was identified as a colonizer for the first 20 days during hospitalization and then confirmed as a causative agent for catheter-related bloodstream infection after effective treatment. This suggests that R. mannitolilytica transitioned from a commensal to a pathogen in the respiratory tract during the patient's hospitalization.

Summary: An outbreak of Ralstonia mannitolilytica bloodstream infections occurred in northeastern Italy, involving 20 haemodialysis patients with tunnelled central vascular catheter access. The outbreak was traced back to a batch of urokinase vials imported from India contaminated with R. mannitolilytica. Whole genome sequencing confirmed the relationship between the clinical and urokinase strains, with only urokinase-treated patients reporting R. mannitolilytica infections (attack rate = 34%; 95% confidence interval: 22.1-47.4). Discontinuing the use of contaminated urokinase ended the outbreak.

Case Report: A Rehabilitation Practice Report During ICU Management for a Patient With Multiple Disabilities Due to COVID-19 Pneumonia and COPD

Tokio Kinoshita, Ken Kouda, Yasunori Umemoto, Yoshinori Yasuoka, Yuta Minoshima, Yukio Mikami, Yukihide Nishimura, Kyohei Miyamoto, Seiya Kato, Fumihiro Tajima

Summary: Patients with severe COVID-19 who require mechanical ventilation are at high risk of developing ICU-acquired weakness and disuse syndrome. Early rehabilitation therapy is essential for these patients to recover physical function and prevent muscle weakness and exercise intolerance. Starting rehabilitation concurrently with status-driven changes in respiratory management may improve outcomes for patients with COPD and COVID-19 pneumonia.

Co-infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Nocardia farcinica in a COPD patient: a case report

Yingzhu Chen, Wei Hu

Summary: A COPD patient presented with worsening respiratory symptoms and received initial treatment in a primary hospital. Microbiological examination was not conducted during the first visit, leading to ineffective empirical antibiotic treatment. After referral to another hospital, the patient was diagnosed with co-infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Nocardia. Appropriate treatment resulted in gradual improvement and discharge.

NDM-5-producing carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae of sequence type 789 emerged as a threat for neonates: a multicentre, genome-based study

Li Wei, Yu Feng, Hongxia Wen, Hu Ya, Fu Qiao, Zhiyong Zong

Summary: This study identified a common carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) lineage in neonates that caused various infections and had been circulating in multiple hospitals for several years. The emergence of this lineage was likely due to the acquisition of a self-transmissible carbapenemase-encoding gene. The findings highlight the potential differences between CRKP lineages in neonates and adults.

A rare class A carbapenemase FRI-11 in Enterobacter clinical strain

Shikai Wu, Yanling He, Yu Feng, Zhiyong Zong

Summary: We identified a clinical strain of Enterobacter that was resistant to carbapenems but susceptible to cefotaxime and ceftazidime. The presence of the rare carbapenemase-encoding gene bla(FRI-11) on a plasmid containing two replicons, IncFII(pECLA) and IncFIA(HI1), sparked further investigation. The FRI carbapenemases, including FRI-11, FRI-2, FRI-3, FRI-4, FRI-6, FRI-7, and FRI-9, belong to the same group based on amino acid sequence similarity and are carried by plasmids containing an IncFII(pECLA) replicon. Awareness should be raised regarding plasmid-encoded FRI carbapenemases that confer an unusual carbapenem-resistant but 3rd-generation-cephalosporin-susceptible resistance profile.

Analysis of risk factors associated with healthcare-associated carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae infection in a large general hospital: a case-case-control study

Wenzhi Huang, Fu Qiao, Yuhua Deng, Shichao Zhu, Jingwen Li, Zhiyong Zong, Wei Zhang

Summary: This study analyzed the factors associated with CRKP infection and resistance to carbapenems in K. pneumoniae. The study found that ICU admission, respiratory failure, age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index, admission from the Emergency, and imipenem use were risk factors for CRKP infection. ICU admission, respiratory failure, admission from the Emergency, and imipenem use were also identified as risk factors for resistance to carbapenems in K. pneumoniae.

Prevalence and clonal diversity of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae causing neonatal infections: A systematic review of 128 articles across 30 countries

Ya Hu, Yongqiang Yang, Yu Feng, Qingqing Fang, Chengcheng Wang, Feifei Zhao, Alan McNally, Zhiyong Zong

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive overview of the global epidemiology and clinical characteristics of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) infections in neonates. The study found a pooled prevalence of 0.3% and a pooled mortality rate of 22.9% for CRKP infections in hospitalized neonates. While the clonal background of neonatal CRKP strains is diverse and intercountry dissemination is minimal, certain lineages and specific carbapenemase types exhibit wide distribution across continents. These findings underscore the urgent need for research and strategies to address the threat of neonatal CRKP infections globally.
