This multicenter retrospective observational study (23 Turkish hospitals, Jan 2017–Sep 2021) evaluated 106 adults with CAZ-AVI–susceptible carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae bloodstream infections due to OXA-48-producing strains, focusing on 30-day mortality and relapse, using Cox regression to identify mortality predictors. Ceftazidime-avibactam given for at least 72 hours was associated with lower mortality when started as initial therapy (14.3% vs 37.7% when switching from colistin-based regimens), and multivariable analysis found older age and severe neutropenia to predict higher mortality, with same-day CAZ-AVI initiation linked to reduced fatality (HR 0.25, 95% CI 0.07–0.84). No resistance development or relapse was detected during treatment in this cohort. Limitations include its retrospective design and lack of determination of specific carbapenemase types beyond susceptibility/endemic setting, as well as uncertainty about whether bacteremia was primary, secondary, or catheter-related. This paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Experience of ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI) use in OXA-48 producing K. pneumoniae bloodstream infections (OXA-48-Kp BSIs) is limited. We aimed to describe the clinical outcomes of OXA-48-Kp BSIs treated with CAZ-AVI in hospital settings, where OXA-48-producing K. pneumoniae is endemic. Methods. A multicenter retrospective observational study was conducted between January 2017 and September 2021. The aim of the study is to describe the clinical data that affects outcome, the 30-day mortality and relapse. The predictors of 30-day mortality are detected by using cox regression model. Results. We included 106 adults with CAZ-AVI-susceptible, carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae (CR-Kp) BSIs who received at least 72 hours of CAZ-AVI therapy. Mortality was found to be lower in those who started CAZ-AVI from the initial treatment compared to those who switched from colistin-based-regimen to CAZ-AVI[14.3% (n = 3/21) vs 37.7%(n = 32/85), p = 0.04].In multivariate analysis older age, having severe neutropenia were found to be significantly associated with the higher rate of mortality. Same-day CAZ-AVI start lowers mortality risk significantly.(HR:0.25, CI: 0.07–0.84, p = 0.025). Conclusions. Data of our cohort showed that CAZ-AVI monotherapy is an important treatment option in OXA-48-Kp BSIs. In addition, the study confirmed that early initiation of CAZ-AVI is more appropriate than switch to CAZ-AVI from a colistin-based-regimen. Health sciences/Diseases/Infectious diseases/Bacterial infection Biological sciences/Microbiology/Antimicrobials/Antimicrobial resistance Ceftazidime-avibactam carbapenemases OXA-48 producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Bloodstream infections Figures Figure 1 Introduction Emergence of carbapenem resistance Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-Kp) is a significant global public health problem, but even more important in some areas including Turkey( 1 ). In K. pneumoniae infections, the most commonly reported carbapenemase type is OXA-48 in Turkey. The first isolate of K. pneumoniae with OXA-48 was identified in Turkey in 2004( 2 ). Since then, hospital outbreaks from Turkey and all over the world (especially Europe, the Middle East, and Northern Africa) have been extensively reported( 1 – 3 ). Avibactam which is a novel non-beta-lactam beta-lactamase inhibitor inhibits OXA-48 carbapenemases. Ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI) is used in the treatment of OXA-48 producing K. pneumoniae bloodstream infections (OXA-48-Kp BSIs) of adult patients with limited treatment options( 4 ). Experience of use in this indication is limited. Therefore, we aimed to present the clinical outcomes of CR-Kp BSIs treated with CAZ-AVI in our country where OXA-48-producing K. pneumoniae is endemic, and responsible from the vast majority of CRE. Materials and Methods Study population We conducted a multicenter, retrospective, observational study including patients with CR-Kp bacteremia who were treated with CAZ-AVI in 23 hospitals (academic and nonacademic) in Turkey, between 1 January 2017 and 31 September 2021. The study was approved by the Ethics Committees of Medipol University Ethics Committee (E-10840098-772.02-2738). This retrospective observational study is in accordance with The World Medical Association, Decleration of Helsinki, Ethical Principles for Medical Research Involving Human Subjects.We included adult patients (≥ 18 years older) who had blood culture-documented monomicrobial CAZ-AVI susceptible CR-Kp infections and received the CAZ-AVI within the first 7 days of blood culture positivity. Charlson comorbidity index was determined at admission. Bacterial identification was performed with automated systems and MALDI-TOF. The routine antibiotic susceptibility testing was done by automated systems or broth microdilution method according to its own protocols in the microbiology laboratory of each center. All isolates were tested for susceptibility to CAZ-AVI with disc diffusion method, and susceptibility findings were interpreted in accordance with current EUCAST clinical breakpoints (EUCAST)( 5 ). CAZ-AVI was administered intravenously at the standard dose of 2/0.5 g every 8 hours as 2-hour-infusion. The dose was adjusted in cases of renal failure according to the manufacturer's instructions. CAZ-AVI was used as the initial treatment or as salvage therapy during the course of infection. Clinical cure was defined as resolution of all signs and symptoms of infection (assessed according to vital signs, and laboratory data) within 7 days of treatment initiation. Clinical success was defined as survival and absence of recurrence at 30 days following the onset of infection, resolution. Statistical analysis Categorical and continuous variables are compared by using chi-square and Mann–Whitney U tests, respectively. A “p” value of < 0.05 (2-sided test) was considered to indicate significance. To evaluate the prognostic value of significant variables, hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by using logistic regression model. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. Results We included 106 adults with CAZ-AVI susceptible, CR-Kp BSIs who received at least 72 hours of CAZ-AVI therapy. Demographic characteristics and univariate analysis of 106 patients with CR-Kp bacteremia who received the CAZ-AVI within 7 days of positive blood culture were presented in Table 1. Mean age was higher in fatal cases than the survived ones (59 vs 51, p=0.033). Mean Pittsburg bacteremia score was significantly higher among the fatal cases than the survived ones (7 vs 4.1, p<0.001), however no significant difference between fatal and survived cases was detected in Charlson comorbidity index, having malignancy, and having neutropenia (Table 1). Mean days of starting CAZ-AVI after taking the blood culture was 2.1 days among the survived cases, whereas it was 2.9 days among the fatal cases (p=0.035). Starting CAZ-AVI on the same day of obtaining culture was significantly more common among the survived cases than the fatal cases (32.3% vs 8.5%, p=0.007) (Table 1). Mortality was found to be lower in those who started CAZ-AVI as first line treatment compared to those who switched treatment to CAZ-AVI [14.3% (n=3/21) vs 37.7% (n=32/85) (chi-square test p=0.04, and fisher exact test p=0.06)]. No development of resistance or relapse was detected in any of the cases. In multivariate analysis for the prediction of the fatality, gender, age, Charlson comorbidity index, severe neutropenia (neutrophil count<500), starting CAZ-AVI on the same day of obtaining culture were included in the model (Table 2). Older age, and having severe neutropenia were found to be significantly associated with higher rate of fatality. Starting CAZ-AVI on the same day of obtaining culture compared to switching treatment from colistin-based-regimen to CAZ-AVI significantly reduced fatality (HR:0.25, CI: 0.07-0.84, p=0.025) (Table 2 and Figure 1). Discussion The OXA-48-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae is an endemic in Turkey. CR-Kp BSIs are associated with high mortality, and treatment options are limited. Clinical trial data on the management of CR-Kp BSIs is scarce. There are only 4 studies analyzing the clinical outcomes of CR-Kp BSIs treated with CAZ-AVI( 6 – 9 ). The data from observational studies recommend the use of ‘last-resort’ agents (eg,colistin, polymyxin-B, aminoglycosides, fosfomycin, tigecycline and/or carbapenems) only as a combined therapy when there is no access to CAZ-AVI and the bacteria is susceptible to the aforementioned agents ( 10 – 12 ). The studies show 30-day mortality rate in polymyxin-based regimens for KPC or OXA-48-Kp BSIs is around 50%( 10 – 12 ). CAZ-AVI treatment in CR-Kp BSIs has been associated with lower mortality rates than the ‘last-resort’ antibiotic regimens (~ 25% vs ~ 50%)( 6 – 12 ). In our study, 30-day mortality rate of the patients was calculated at around 35%. In a recent multicentered study from Turkey, OXA-48-like carbapenemases comprised the largest carbapenemase group with 75% of CR-Kp bloodstream isolates and 16% of them were accompanied with NDM type beta lactamases ( 13 ). Likewise, the OXA-48 and NDM-1 positivity rates were found to be as 81% and 19% among carbapenem and colistin resistant Kp in Turkey, respectively( 14 ). Falcone et al. showed that shorter median time to appropriate antibiotic treatment improved survival in Cr-Kp-BSIs ( 15 ). Our finding were consistent with Falcone et al. Resistance may develop during treatment with CAZ-AVI. It is reported that 1.4–3.6% resistance has developed in studies of CR-Kp BSIs since the introduction of CAZ-AVI ( 7 – 9 ). In our cohort, no resistance was observed during CAZ-AVI treatment. It is also reported that the prevalence of resistance to the ‘last-resort’ antibiotics in CRE has been increasing. As a result of the increasing prevalence of resistance, CAZ-AVI emerges as a first line therapy for CRE infections. Main risk factors predicting the mortality in patients of CR-Kp BSIs treated with CAZ-AVI are Charlson comorbidity index ≥ 2, presence at infection onset of septic shock, neutropenia, an INCREMENT score ≥ 8, lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI), CAZ-AVI dose adjustment for renal function( 7 – 9 ). Prolonging CAZ-AVI infusions to ≥ 3 hours have been shown to reduce mortality in one study ( 9 ). In our chort, according to Cox Regression analyses, age, severe neutropenia and CAZ-AVI started on the same day of obtaining culture were independent clinical determinants of mortality. There were several limitations of our study. The observational retrospective character of the study and non-determination of carbapenemase types were intrinsic study limitations. Whether BSIs are primary or secondary or as catheter related has not been identified. In conclusion, this multicenter retrospective cohort showed that the mortality was ~ 30% and CAZ-AVI monotherapy is an important treatment option in OXA-48- Kp BSIs. In addition, our study confirmed that early initiation of CAZ-AVI is more appropriate than conversion to CAZ-AVI from a colistin-based regimen. Declarations Funding: The study was not funded.

producing \u003cem\u003eK. pneumoniae\u003c/em\u003e bloodstream infections (OXA-48-Kp BSIs) is limited. We aimed to describe the clinical outcomes of OXA-48-Kp BSIs treated with CAZ-AVI in hospital settings, where OXA-48-producing \u003cem\u003eK. pneumoniae\u003c/em\u003e is endemic.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMethods.\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eA multicenter retrospective observational study was conducted between January 2017 and September 2021. The aim of the study is to describe the clinical data that affects outcome, the 30-day mortality and relapse. The predictors of 30-day mortality are detected by using cox regression model.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResults.\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe included 106 adults with CAZ-AVI-susceptible, carbapenem-resistant \u003cem\u003eK. pneumoniae\u003c/em\u003e (CR-Kp) BSIs who received at least 72 hours of CAZ-AVI therapy. Mortality was found to be lower in those who started CAZ-AVI from the initial treatment compared to those who switched from colistin-based-regimen to CAZ-AVI[14.3% (n\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;3/21) vs 37.7%(n\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;32/85), p\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;0.04].In multivariate analysis older age, having severe neutropenia were found to be significantly associated with the higher rate of mortality. Same-day CAZ-AVI start lowers mortality risk significantly.(HR:0.25, CI: 0.07\u0026ndash;0.84, p\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;0.025).\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConclusions.\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eData of our cohort showed that CAZ-AVI monotherapy is an important treatment option in OXA-48-Kp BSIs. In addition, the study confirmed that early initiation of CAZ-AVI is more appropriate than switch to CAZ-AVI from a colistin-based-regimen.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Ceftazidime-Avibactam Use in Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Bloodstream Infections: A Retrospective Observational Multicenter Study in OXA-48 Endemic settings","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2024-06-12 09:08:38","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-4259788/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0},{"type":"decision","content":"Revision requested","date":"2024-07-29T03:36:28+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvitedReview","content":"","date":"2024-07-13T14:54:28+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"287127365702963942633656478608645523072","date":"2024-07-12T01:04:12+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"19297059090624385487442639088004083179","date":"2024-07-11T07:50:47+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvitedReview","content":"","date":"2024-06-27T00:11:17+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"128120587908524578202533566816745637875","date":"2024-06-16T07:23:22+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewersInvited","content":"","date":"2024-06-13T23:47:31+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorAssigned","content":"","date":"2024-06-13T23:42:16+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvited","content":"","date":"2024-05-30T15:52:33+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"checksComplete","content":"","date":"2024-05-27T15:12:27+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"submitted","content":"Scientific Reports","date":"2024-04-12T22:01:34+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"scientific-reports","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":false,"externalIdentity":"scirep","sideBox":"Learn more about [Scientific Reports](http://www.nature.com/srep/)","snPcode":"","submissionUrl":"","title":"Scientific Reports","twitterHandle":"","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":true,"editorialSystem":"stoa","reportingPortfolio":"Scientific Reports","inReviewEnabled":true,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":true}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"2f680941-41a3-4c20-82f0-3a6b4e079543","owner":[],"postedDate":"June 12th, 2024","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"published-in-journal","subjectAreas":[{"id":33100672,"name":"Health sciences/Diseases/Infectious diseases/Bacterial infection"},{"id":33100673,"name":"Biological sciences/Microbiology/Antimicrobials/Antimicrobial resistance"}],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2024-11-04T16:23:43+00:00","versionOfRecord":{"articleIdentity":"rs-4259788","link":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-77259-z","journal":{"identity":"scientific-reports","isVorOnly":false,"title":"Scientific Reports"},"publishedOn":"2024-11-01 16:05:11","publishedOnDateReadable":"November 1st, 2024"},"versionCreatedAt":"2024-06-12 09:08:38","video":"","vorDoi":"10.1038/s41598-024-77259-z","vorDoiUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-77259-z","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v1","identity":"rs-4259788","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-4259788","identity":"rs-4259788","version":["v1"]},"buildId":"8U1c8b4HqxoKbykW_rLl7","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}
