Multiplex PCR for detection of acquired plasmid-borne fosfomycin resistance fos genes in Escherichia coli

Samanta Freire, Teresa Grilo, Patrice Nordmann, Laurent Poirel, Marta Aires-de-Sousa

Summary: A rapid and reliable multiplex PCR was developed to simultaneously detect known plasmid-mediated fos genes conferring acquired resistance to fosfomycin. Our technique was tested on a collection of Escherichia coli isolates previously identified as bearing fosA, fosC, and fosL-like genes, demonstrating a sensitivity and specificity of 100%.

Emergence of Carbapenemase-Producing Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae in Switzerland

Otavio Hallal Ferreira Raro, Patrice Nordmann, Manuel Dominguez Pino, Jacqueline Findlay, Laurent Poirel

Summary: There is an increasing occurrence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and hypervirulent (hv) Klebsiella pneumoniae (MDR-hvKp) convergent clones. These strains can cause difficult-to-treat infections and have a higher mortality rate in healthy adults. This study in Switzerland identified a rate of 9.0% K. pneumoniae with a virulence genotype, producing carbapenemase and recovered from rectal swabs, urine, and blood. The presence of alarming MDR-hvKp and MDR nonhypervirulent K. pneumoniae (MDR-nhv-Kp) isolates highlights the need for surveillance networks to track and monitor their spread.

Resistance to ceftazidime-avibactam in a KPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae caused by the extended-spectrum beta-lactamase VEB-25

Jacqueline Findlay, Laurent Poirel, Maxime Bouvier, Valeria Gaia, Patrice Nordmann

Summary: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales, including KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae, pose a major threat to public health due to their rapid spread. Ceftazidime-avibactam, a beta-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitor combination, has shown excellent activity against multidrug-resistant KPC-producing Enterobacterales strains. However, there is an increasing occurrence of CAZ-AVI-resistant K. pneumoniae isolates, mainly due to the emergence of KPC variants that confer resistance to CAZ-AVI but retain carbapenem resistance.

In vitro activity of cefepime/zidebactam and cefepime/taniborbactam against aztreonam/avibactam-resistant NDM-like-producing Escherichia coli clinical isolates

Christophe Le Terrier, Patrice Nordmann, Mustafa Sadek, Laurent Poirel

Summary: This study evaluated the in vitro activity of cefepime/taniborbactam and cefepime/zidebactam against aztreonam/avibactam-resistant E. coli strains. The results showed that cefepime/taniborbactam had a resistance rate of 100% against these strains, while cefepime/zidebactam was effective in all cases. This suggests that cefepime/zidebactam combination could be a promising therapeutic option.

A Selective Culture Medium for Screening Cefiderocol Resistance in Enterobacterales, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii

Ahmad Ibrahim, Maxime Bouvier, Mustafa Sadek, Jean-Winoc Decousser, Laurent Poirel, Patrice Nordmann

Summary: Cefiderocol (FDC) is an effective siderophore cephalosporin against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. The SuperFDC medium was developed to rapidly and accurately identify FDC-resistant pathogens, which is crucial for controlling their spread. The medium showed high sensitivity and specificity in detecting FDC-resistant isolates with various resistance mechanisms.

Dissemination of ArmA- and OXA-23-co-producing Acinetobacter baumannii Global Clone 2 in Switzerland, 2020-2021

Jacqueline Findlay, Patrice Nordmann, Maxime Bouvier, Auriane Kerbol, Laurent Poirel

Summary: This study investigated the spread and emergence of A. baumannii clones co-producing OXA-23 and ArmA in Switzerland. The majority of the isolates were obtained from infections and belonged to the high-risk GC-2 clone. Monitoring and control of these MDR A. baumannii strains are crucial to prevent further spread.

Rapid detection of cefiderocol susceptibility/resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii

Otavio Hallal Ferreira Raro, Maxime Bouvier, Auriane Kerbol, Jean-Winoc Decousser, Laurent Poirel, Patrice Nordmann

Summary: The study developed a rapid test for the detection of Acinetobacter baumannii susceptibility to the antibiotic cefiderocol. The test showed high sensitivity and specificity and significantly reduced the time required compared to current methods.

Efficacy of ceftazidime-avibactam, meropenem-vaborbactam, and imipenem-relebactam combinations against carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales in Switzerland

Patrice Nordmann, Maxime Bouvier, Laurent Poirel

Summary: Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) are a major health concern globally, with limited therapeutic options in Switzerland. This study evaluated the susceptibility of CPE isolates recovered in Switzerland from 2018 to 2020 to novel β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations, including ceftazidime-avibactam, meropenem-vaborbactam, and imipenem-relebactam. The majority of clinical CPE isolates were Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli, and the distribution of carbapenemases varied. The study found that meropenem-vaborbactam had the highest susceptibility among the three combinations, followed by ceftazidime-avibactam and imipenem-relebactam. These findings can help optimize first-line therapy for CPE infections.

Impact of veterinary antibiotics on plasmid-encoded antibiotic resistance transfer

Otavio Hallal Ferreira Raro, Laurent Poirel, Maurine Tocco, Patrice Nordmann

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate whether subdosages of antibiotics administered in veterinary medicine could enhance plasmid transfer and resistance gene exchange in gut microbiota. The results showed that antibiotics in veterinary medicine may induce the transfer of plasmid-encoded resistance and contribute to the global spread of antibiotic resistance genes.
