Résumé

Knowledge of whether Enterobacterales are not susceptible to ceftriaxone without understanding the underlying resistance mechanisms may not be sufficient to direct appropriate treatment decisions. As an example, extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing organisms almost uniformly display non-susceptibility to ceftriaxone. Regardless of susceptibility to piperacillin-tazobactam or cefepime, carbapenem antibiotics are the treatment of choice for invasive infections. No such guidance exists for ceftriaxone non-susceptible organisms with mechanisms other than ESBL production. We sought to investigate the molecular epidemiology of ceftriaxone non-susceptible Enterobacterales. All consecutive Escherichia coli, Klebsiellapneumoniae, Klebsiella oxytoca, or Proteus mirabilis clinical isolates with ceftriaxone MICs of ≥2 mcg/mL from unique patients at a United States hospital over an 8-month period were evaluated for β-lactamase genes using a DNA microarray-based assay. Of 1929 isolates, 482 (25%) had ceftriaxone MICs of ≥2 mcg/mL and were not resistant to any carbapenem antibiotics. Of the 482 isolates, ESBL (blaCTX-M, blaSHV, blaTEM) and/or plasmid-mediated ampC (p-ampC) genes were identified in 376 (78%). ESBL genes were identified in 310 (82.4%), p-ampC genes in 2 (0.5%), and both ESBL and p-ampC genes in 64 (17.0%) of the 376 organisms. There were 211 (56%), 120 (32%), 41 (11%), and 4 (1%) isolates with 1, 2, 3, or 4 or more ESBL or p-ampC genes. The most common ESBL genes were of the blaCTX-M-1 group (includes blaCTX-M-15) and the most common p-ampC gene was the blaCMY-2. There is considerable diversity in the molecular epidemiology of ceftriaxone non-susceptible Enterobacterales. An understanding of this diversity can improve antibiotic decision-making.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Knowledge of whether Enterobacterales are not susceptible to ceftriaxone without understanding the underlying resistance mechanisms may not be sufficient to direct appropriate treatment decisions. As an example, extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing organisms almost uniformly display non-susceptibility to ceftriaxone. Regardless of susceptibility to piperacillin-tazobactam or cefepime, carbapenem antibiotics are the treatment of choice for invasive infections. No such guidance exists for ceftriaxone non-susceptible organisms with mechanisms other than ESBL production. We sought to investigate the molecular epidemiology of ceftriaxone non-susceptible Enterobacterales.
METHODS METHODS
All consecutive Escherichia coli, Klebsiellapneumoniae, Klebsiella oxytoca, or Proteus mirabilis clinical isolates with ceftriaxone MICs of ≥2 mcg/mL from unique patients at a United States hospital over an 8-month period were evaluated for β-lactamase genes using a DNA microarray-based assay.
RESULTS RESULTS
Of 1929 isolates, 482 (25%) had ceftriaxone MICs of ≥2 mcg/mL and were not resistant to any carbapenem antibiotics. Of the 482 isolates, ESBL (blaCTX-M, blaSHV, blaTEM) and/or plasmid-mediated ampC (p-ampC) genes were identified in 376 (78%). ESBL genes were identified in 310 (82.4%), p-ampC genes in 2 (0.5%), and both ESBL and p-ampC genes in 64 (17.0%) of the 376 organisms. There were 211 (56%), 120 (32%), 41 (11%), and 4 (1%) isolates with 1, 2, 3, or 4 or more ESBL or p-ampC genes. The most common ESBL genes were of the blaCTX-M-1 group (includes blaCTX-M-15) and the most common p-ampC gene was the blaCMY-2.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
There is considerable diversity in the molecular epidemiology of ceftriaxone non-susceptible Enterobacterales. An understanding of this diversity can improve antibiotic decision-making.
