1 Laboratory Identification And esistance Detection of The Major Pathogenic Gram Negative Organisms

2 Gram Negative ods 1) E.coli 2) Klebsiella 3) Enterobacter 4) Proteus- Morganella 5) Serratia 6) Pseudomonas 7) Acinetobacter 8) Burkholderia 9) Stenotrophomonas 2

3 Oxidase Positive Non-fermenters Pseudomonas strong + Acinetobacter - Burkholderia slow & weak + Stenotrophomonas - Negative Fermenters Enterobacteriaceae E.Coli Klebsiella Enterobacter Proteus Morganella 3

4 Should use a highly selective gram negative media such as: MacConkey- EMB: E.coli - Klebsiella fermenter Lactose Enterobacter Citrobacter Slow lactose fermenter Others Non lactose fermenter 4

5 Acinetobacter vs. Klebsiella Pseudomonas vs. Burkholderia 5

6 Should use chemical ID schemes to identify Citrate Indole H 2 S production VP M Chromogenic agars Automated ID systems. Visual system: api systems, crystal 6

7 esistant Issues ESBL Carbapenems resistance 7

8 ESBL: Extended Spectrum β-lactamases Enzymes that mediate resistance to: Extended spectrum (3 rd generation) cephalosporins: Ceftazidime, Cefotaxime, Ceftriaxone Monobactams: Azetronam But do not affect Cephamycins: Cefoxitin, Cefotetan Carbapenems: Imipenem, Meropenem, Ertapenem 8

9 3 genes located on plasmid are responsible for ESBL: CTXM, SHV, TEM Often ESBL isolates are multi drug resistant to other classes such as aminoglycosides and quinolones. 9

10 How to screen for ESBL I. Disk diffusion method (KB) II. MIC by automated system ABX Disk diffusion mm MICs µg/ml Cefpodoxime 22 2 Ceftazidime 22 2 Cefotaxime 27 2 Ceftazidime 25 2 Azetronam

11 Susceptibility profile for ESBL Antimicrobial Interpretation Antimicrobial Interpretation Amikacin S / I / Chloramphenicol Amox/clav Ciprofloxacin Ampicillin Ertapenem S Aztreonam Gentamicin Cefazolin Imipenem S Cefpodoxime Meropenem S Cefotaxime Pipercillin/Tazo S / I / Cetotetan Tobramycin Cefoxitin Trimeth/Sulfa Ceftriaxone Tigecycline S Cefepime Ceftazidime 11

12 How to confirm ESBL 1. Synergy test Ceftazidime Cefotaxime Ceftazidime +Clavulunic acid Cefotaxime + Clavulunic acid Not ESBL True ESBL Should see an increase > 5 mm of zone of inhibition to confirm. 12

13 2. ESBL E-test confirmation by 2-gradient strips 13

14 3. Automated system that have a built-in confirmation test 4. Additional strips or panels that test cephalosporins alone and with β-lactamase inhibitors and test for MIC fold differences according to each system`s parameters ( 3 fold increase- 4 fold increase ). 14

15 Mullti Drug esistant Non-fermenter ABX P. Aeroginosa Burkholderia Cepacia Stentrophomonas Acinetobacter Ticarcillin Piperacillin Ampicillin+Sulbactam Ticarcillin+Clav.Ac S / Piperacillin+Clav.Ac S / Imipenem Meropenem S / Ceftazidim S / S / Cefepim S / Amikacin Gentamicin Tobramicin Ciprofloxacin S S / Cotrimoxazol S S Colistin S / S Tigecyclin NA NA S S 15

19 Drug Carbapenems oute of Administration FDA Status Imipenem IV Cleared Meropenem IV Cleared Ertapenem IM, IV Cleared Doripenem IV Application Submitted 19

20 Carbapenem esistance: Mechanisms Enterobacteriaceae Cephalosporinase + porin loss Carbapenemase P. aeruginosa Porin loss Up-regulated efflux Carbapenemase Acinetobacter spp. Cephalosporinase + porin loss Carbapenemase 20

21 Carbapenemases Classification Enzyme Most Common Bacteria Class A Class B (metallo-b-lactamse) KPC, SME, IMI, NMC, GES IMP, VIM, GIM, SPM Enterobacteriaceae (rare reports in P. aeruginosa) P. aeruginosa Enterobacteriacea Acinetobacter spp. Class D OXA Acinetobacter spp. 21

22 Carbapenemases in the U.S. Enzyme KPC Metallo-b-lactamase OXA SME Bacteria Enterobacteriaceae P. aeruginosa Acinetobacter spp. Serratia marcesens 22

23 Klebsiella Pneumoniae Carbapenemase KPC is a class A b-lactamase Confers resistance to all b-lactams including extendedspectrum cephalosporins and carbapenems Occurs in Enterobacteriaceae Most commonly in Klebsiella pneumoniae Also reported in: K. oxytoca, Citrobacter freundii, Enterobacter spp., Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., Serratia spp., Also reported in Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Columbia) 23

24 Susceptibility Profile of KPC-Producing K. pneumoniae Antimicrobial Interpretation Antimicrobial Interpretation Amikacin I Chloramphenicol Amox/clav Ciprofloxacin Ampicillin Ertapenem Aztreonam Gentamicin Cefazolin Imipenem Cefpodoxime Meropenem Cefotaxime Pipercillin/Tazo Cetotetan Tobramycin Cefoxitin Trimeth/Sulfa Ceftazidime Polymyxin B MIC >4mg/ml Ceftriaxone Colistin MIC >4mg/ml Cefepime Tigecycline S 24

25 KPC Enzymes Located on plasmids; conjugative and nonconjugative bla KPC is usually flanked by transposon sequences bla KPC reported on plasmids with: Normal spectrum b-lactamases Extended spectrum b-lactamases Aminoglycoside resistance 25

26 KPC s in Enterobacteriaceae Species Klebsiella spp. Enterobacter spp. Comments K. pneumoniae-cause of outbreaks K. oxytoca-sporadic occurrence Escherichia coli Salmonella spp. Sporadic occurrence Citrobacter freundii Serratia spp. Pseudomonas aeruginosa Columbia & Puerto ico 26

27 Laboratory Detection of KPC- Problems: Producers 1)Some isolates demonstrate low-level carbapenem resistance 2) Some automated systems fail to detect low-level resistance 27

28 No. of Isolates Susceptibility of KPC-Producers to Imipenem Imipenem S* I >32 MIC (mg/ml) *12% of isolates test susceptible to imipenem

29 No. of Isolates Susceptibility of KPC-Producers to Meropenem Meropenem 100 S* I >16 MIC (mg/ml) *9% of isolates test susceptible to meropenem

30 No. of Isolates Susceptibility of KPC-Producers to Ertapenem C-Producers to Ertapenem 60 S I >16 MIC (mg/ml) None of the isolates test susceptible to ertapenem

31 When to Suspect a KPC- Producer Enterobacteriaceae especially Klebsiella pneumoniae that are resistant to extendedspectrum cephalosporins: MIC range for 151 KPC-producing isolates Ceftazidime Ceftriaxone Cefotaxime 32 to >64 mg/ml 64 mg/ml 64 mg/ml Variable susceptibility to cefoxitin and cefepime 31

32 eading Disk Diffusion & Etest 32

33 Phenotypic Tests for Carbapenemase Activity Modified Hodge Test 100% sensitivity in detecting KPC; also positive when other carbapenemases are present 100% specificity 33

34 Modified Hodge Test Lawn of E. coli ATCC :10 dilution of a 0.5 McFarland suspension Test isolates 34 Imipenem disk

35 Metalo β-lactamase confirmation 35

36 What Labs Should Do Now Look for isolates of Enterobacteriaceae (especially K. pneumoniae), with carbapenem MIC 2 mg/ml or nonsusceptible to ertapenem by disk diffusion Consider confirmation by Modified Hodge Test Can submit initial isolate for confirmation by bla KPC PC if KPC-producers not previously identified in hospital s isolate population Alert clinician and infection control practitioner to possibility of mobile carbapenemase in isolate 36

37 KPC Questions If I have detect KPC-production, should I change susceptible carbapenem results to resistant? Not enough data to make a clear recommendation Clinical outcomes data will be necessary 37
