An Observational Study of MDR Hospital-Acquired Infections and Antibiotic Use during COVID-19 Pandemic: A Call for Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs

Nour Shbaklo, Silvia Corcione, Costanza Vicentini, Susanna Giordano, Denise Fiorentino, Gabriele Bianco, Francesco Cattel, Rossana Cavallo, Carla Maria Zotti, Francesco Giuseppe De Rosa

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to major adjustments in healthcare systems and has caused an increase in multidrug-resistant (MDR) hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) at Molinette Hospital. The study also found changes in antibiotic consumption, with a reduction in fluoroquinolone use and an increase in the use of fourth- and fifth-generation cephalosporins and piperacillin-tazobactam during the COVID-19 period. The findings highlight the need for improved infection control practices and microbiological diagnosis during pandemics.

Testosterone as a Biomarker of Adverse Clinical Outcomes in SARS-CoV-2 Pneumonia

Lorenzo Marinelli, Guglielmo Beccuti, Marco Zavattaro, Serena Cagnina, Iacopo Gesmundo, Chiara Bona, Chiara Lopez, Silvia Scabini, Francesca Canta, Simone Mornese Pinna, Tommaso Lupia, Cataldo Di Bisceglie, Federico Ponzetto, Fabio Settanni, Francesco Giuseppe De Rosa, Ezio Ghigo, Giovanna Motta

Summary: This study evaluated the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis in men admitted with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia and found that testosterone levels were associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Short-term changes in hormone levels may be related to functional recovery of steroidogenesis and improvement in spermatozoa functional status.

Evaluating the Protective Effect of Intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin against SARS-CoV-2 in Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer Patients: A Multicenter Observational Trial

Kamat, Paolo Gontero, Paolo Casale

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the potential protective role of intravesical BCG against SARS-CoV-2 in NMIBC patients. The results showed that BCG treatment and systemic BCG-related adverse events were not associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. The main limitation of this study is its retrospective nature.

Relationship between Cytomegalovirus Viremia and Long-Term Outcomes in Kidney Transplant Recipients with Different Donor Ages

Davide Diena, Anna Allesina, Fabrizio Fop, Alberto Mella, Rossana Cavallo, Cristina Costa, Caterina Dolla, Ester Gallo, Francesco Giuseppe De Rosa, Antonio Lavacca, Roberta Giraudi, Filippo Mariano, Luigi Biancone

Summary: This study aims to explore the burden of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) on the long-term post-transplant course in kidney-transplanted patients (KTs) with extensive adoption of expanded-criteria donors (ECDs). A retrospective evaluation of 929 consecutive first KTs was performed, and CMV incidence was found to be 19.5%. Donor and recipient age, recipient pre-transplant hypertension, DR antigen compatibility, cold ischemia time, and post-transplant early complications were associated with CMV. The findings of this study have important implications for the long-term post-transplant outcomes and prognosis of kidney transplant recipients.

Bacterial Bloodstream Infections after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: Etiology, Risk Factors and Outcome in a Single-Center Study

Jessica Gill, Alessandro Busca, Natascia Cinatti, Roberto Passera, Chiara Maria Dellacasa, Luisa Giaccone, Irene Dogliotti, Sara Manetta, Silvia Corcione, Francesco Giuseppe De Rosa

Summary: This study retrospectively observed allo-HSCT recipients and found that bacterial bloodstream infections pose a major risk to these patients, with multidrug-resistant organisms being a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Independent risk factors for BSI occurrence include high and very high disease risk index, haploidentical transplant, and antibacterial prophylaxis.

Nosocomial Infections in Adult Patients Supported by Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in a Cardiac Intensive Care Unit

Simone Mornese Pinna, Iago Sousa Casasnovas, Maria Olmedo, Marina Machado, Miriam Juarez Fernandez, Carolina Devesa-Cordero, Alicia Galar, Ana Alvarez-Uria, Francisco Fernandez-Aviles, Jorge Garcia Carreno, Manuel Martinez-Selles, Francesco Giuseppe De Rosa, Silvia Corcione, Emilio Bouza, Patricia Munoz, Maricela Valerio

Summary: This retrospective study analyzed the risk factors, outcome, and predictors of in-hospital mortality due to nosocomial infections in patients with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy (VA-ECMO) admitted to cardiac intensive care units (CICU). The study found that nosocomial infections in patients receiving VA-ECMO treatment are very frequent, mainly Gram-negative respiratory infections. Preventive measures could be important for these patients.

Development and Validation of a Prognostic Model for Multi-Drug-Resistant Non-Hospital-Acquired Bloodstream Infection

Summary: Bloodstream infections (BSI) are increasingly common reasons for hospital admissions. Differentiating between community-acquired and healthcare-associated (HCA) BSI is important due to varying risks of multidrug resistance (MDR). A retrospective study was conducted in three cohorts to develop and validate a prognostic model for identifying MDR non-hospital-acquired (non-HA) BSI. The model includes various factors such as age, gender, and recent medical procedures, and shows acceptable performance with a C-index of 70%.

COVID-19: A Possible Contribution of the MAPK Pathway

Jessica Cusato, Alessandra Manca, Alice Palermiti, Jacopo Mula, Martina Costanzo, Miriam Antonucci, Mattia Trunfio, Silvia Corcione, Francesco Chiara, Elisa Delia De Vivo, Alice Ianniello, Micol Ferrara, Giovanni Di Perri, Francesco Giuseppe De Rosa, Antonio D'Avolio, Andrea Calcagno

Summary: This study aimed to quantify biomarkers involved in the MAPK pathway and clarify its possible role in affecting COVID-19-related clinical features. The results showed that MAPK-related biomarker levels were higher in SARS-CoV-2-positive participants compared to negative ones, and dyspnea was associated with PBMC C-RAF levels and ventilation type in positive participants. This may help identify COVID-19 positive participants at risk of serious complications.

Cost-Effectiveness of Targeted Prophylaxis among Allogenic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients

Nour Shbaklo, Costanza Vicentini, Alessandro Busca, Luisa Giaccone, Chiara Dellacasa, Irene Dogliotti, Tommaso Lupia, Carla M. Zotti, Silvia Corcione, Francesco Giuseppe De Rosa

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the costs and effects of two alternative strategies (fluoroquinolones prophylaxis vs. no prophylaxis) for patients with hematological malignancies undergoing allogenic stem cell transplant. The analysis showed that the no prophylaxis strategy was more appropriate due to the small differences in costs and effects between the two strategies. The study also highlighted the potential broader impact of multiple doses of fluoroquinolones prophylaxis on hospital ecology.

Role of Oritavancin in the Treatment of Infective Endocarditis, Catheter- or Device-Related Infections, Bloodstream Infections, and Bone and Prosthetic Joint Infections in Humans: Narrative Review and Possible Developments

Tommaso Lupia, Ilaria De Benedetto, Roberta Bosio, Nour Shbaklo, Francesco Giuseppe De Rosa, Silvia Corcione

Summary: Oritavancin is a long-acting lipoglycopeptide with good antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive pathogens. It has been approved for acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections, but there are potential off-label uses for other infections. This review focuses on the real-life applications of oritavancin in infective endocarditis, catheter- or device-related infections, bloodstream infections, and bone and prosthetic joint infections, as well as potential future applications. Further studies are needed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of oritavancin in various infections and resistant bacteria.

Prevalence and Impact on Mortality of Colonization and Super-Infection by Carbapenem-Resistant Gram-Negative Organisms in COVID-19 Hospitalized Patients

Summary: The relationship between superinfection by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria and mortality among SARS-CoV-2 hospitalized patients is still unclear. This retrospective study found that although a significant percentage of COVID-19 patients were diagnosed with carriage or superinfection of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales and/or carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, their impact on in-hospital mortality was not significant.
