A retrospective case-control study was conducted at Modena University Hospital from December 2017 to January 2019 to identify risk factors and predictors of MDR/XDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) isolation with resistance to ceftazidime/avibactam (CZA) and ceftolozane/tazobactam (C/T), and of mortality among patients infected/colonized. Among 111 PA isolates from clinical/surveillance samples, 60 (54.1%) were susceptible to both drugs (S-CZA-C/T), while 27 (24.3%) were resistant to both (R-CZA-C/T). Compared to patients colonized/infected with S-CZA-C/T, those with R-C/T+CZA PA had a statistically significantly higher Charlson comorbidity score, greater rate of previous PA colonization, longer time before PA isolation, more frequent presence of CVC, higher exposure to C/T and cephalosporins, longer hospital stay, and higher overall and attributable mortality. In the multivariable analysis, age, prior PA colonization, longer time from admission to PA isolation, diagnosis of urinary tract infection, and exposure to carbapenems were associated with the isolation of a R-C/T+CZA PA strain, while PA-related BSI, a comorbidity score > 7, and ICU stay were significantly associated with attributable mortality. C/T and CZA are important therapeutic resources for hard-to-treat PA-related infections, thus specific antimicrobial stewardship interventions should be prompted in order to avoid the development of this combined resistance, which would jeopardize the chance to treat these infections.

Abstract

A retrospective case-control study was conducted at Modena University Hospital from December 2017 to January 2019 to identify risk factors and predictors of MDR/XDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) isolation with resistance to ceftazidime/avibactam (CZA) and ceftolozane/tazobactam (C/T), and of mortality among patients infected/colonized. Among 111 PA isolates from clinical/surveillance samples, 60 (54.1%) were susceptible to both drugs (S-CZA-C/T), while 27 (24.3%) were resistant to both (R-CZA-C/T). Compared to patients colonized/infected with S-CZA-C/T, those with R-C/T+CZA PA had a statistically significantly higher Charlson comorbidity score, greater rate of previous PA colonization, longer time before PA isolation, more frequent presence of CVC, higher exposure to C/T and cephalosporins, longer hospital stay, and higher overall and attributable mortality. In the multivariable analysis, age, prior PA colonization, longer time from admission to PA isolation, diagnosis of urinary tract infection, and exposure to carbapenems were associated with the isolation of a R-C/T+CZA PA strain, while PA-related BSI, a comorbidity score > 7, and ICU stay were significantly associated with attributable mortality. C/T and CZA are important therapeutic resources for hard-to-treat PA-related infections, thus specific antimicrobial stewardship interventions should be prompted in order to avoid the development of this combined resistance, which would jeopardize the chance to treat these infections.
