    Ceftazidime-avibactam exhibits good in vitro activity against carbapenem resistant Klebsiella carrying OXA-48-like enzymes. We tested two hundred unique carbapenem resistant Klebsiella blood stream isolates (71% with single OXA-48-like carbapenemases, including OXA-48, n = 62; OXA-232, n = 57; OXA-244, n = 17; OXA-181, n = 5) that were collected as part of a multicentre study against ceftazidime-avibactam using Etest (bioMerieux, Marcyl'Etoile, France), 10/4 mg disc (Thermo Fisher) and Sensititre Gram Negative EURGNCOL Plates (Lyophilized panels, Sensititre, Thermo Fisher) with the aim of comparing the performances of the Etest and disc to that of Sensititre. Ceftazidime-avibactam MIC50/90 was 2/> 16 mg/L for the entire collection and was 2/4 mg/L for single OXA-48-like producers. Categorical and essential agreements between the Etest and Sensititre were 100% and 97%, respectively. Categorical agreement between the disc and Sensititre was 100%. Etest and 10/4 mg discs are suitable alternatives to Sensititre for ceftazidime-avibactam sensitivity testing for OXA-48-like producers. (C) 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

    Characteristics And Outcomes Of Carbapenemase Harbouring Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella Spp. Bloodstream Infections: A Multicentre Prospective Cohort Study In An OXA-48 Endemic Setting

    A prospective, multicentre observational cohort study of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella spp. (CRK) bloodstream infections was conducted in Turkey from June 2018 to June 2019. One hundred eighty-seven patients were recruited. Single OXA-48-like carbapenemases predominated (75%), followed by OXA-48-like/NDM coproducers (16%). OXA-232 constituted 31% of all OXA-48-like carbapenemases and was mainly carried on ST2096. Thirty-day mortality was 44% overall and 51% for ST2096. In the multivariate cox regression analysis, SOFA score and immunosuppression were significant predictors of 30-day mortality and ST2096 had a non-significant effect. All OXA-48-like producers remained susceptible to ceftazidime-avibactam.

    To describe the change in the epidemiology of health care-associated infections (HAI), resistance and predictors of fatality we conducted a nationwide study in 24 hospitals between 2015 and 2018. The 30-day fatality rate was 22% in 2015 and increased to 25% in 2018. In BSI, a significant increasing trend was observed for Candida and Enterococcus. The highest rate of 30-day fatality was detected among the patients with pneumonia (32%). In pneumonia, Pseudomonas infections increased in 2018. Colistin resistance increased and significantly associated with 30-day fatality in Pseudomonas infections. Among S. aureus methicillin, resistance increased from 31 to 41%.

    Relative risk of tuberculosis in patients with rheumatic diseases managed with anti-tumour necrosis factor-alpha therapy: A nationwide cohort study
    (2019) Aydin, Volkan; Akici, Ahmet; Isil, Fatma; Aksoy, Mesil; Aydin, Mehtap; Gursoz, Hakki; 30763469
    What is known and objective Anti-tumour necrosis factor-alpha (anti-TNF-alpha) therapy is known to raise the risk of granulomatous infections, leading to development of risk management strategies at national or global level. This study aimed to determine the relative risk (RR) of tuberculosis (TB) due to anti-TNF-alpha usage in patients with rheumatologic diseases (RDs) in a nationwide basis. Method This retrospective cohort study included patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis or psoriatic arthritis (PsA) that treated with or without anti-TNF-alpha agents, as registered in the national prescription information system between years 2013 and 2015. Two-year RR of TB after anti-TNF-alpha therapy initiation was calculated in this RD population, including main subgroups. Results and discussion The study cohort included 413 500 RD patients, where anti-TNF-alpha(+) arm (n = 2117) had mean age of 41.9 +/- 13.4 years and male distribution of 54.3%. Four patients among anti-TNF-alpha users developed TB compared to 128 patients in anti-TNF-alpha-naive group (189 vs 31 cases per 100 000 patients, respectively), yielding a 2-year RR of 6.07 (95% CI, 2.25-16.42) with an attributable risk of 0.16%. These RRs (95% CI), which were particularly pronounced, were 5.39 (1.69-7.17) in men, 6.12 (2.26-16.55) in adults, and 5.70 (1.41-23.08) in RA and 13.46 (1.58-114.40) in PsA patients. There was no difference between the anti-TNF-alpha users who developed and undeveloped TB regarding drug utilization characteristics, except significantly less immunosuppressive drug exposure in TB patients. What is new and conclusion This study is the first prescription-based nationwide study to suggest an elevated RR of TB in a comparably younger population with a broad spectrum of RDs managed with any approved anti-TNF-alpha drug in Turkey.

    Wegener Granulomatosis Complicated by Brain Abscess Caused by Nocardia spp.
    (2016) Sahin, Sevgi; Balcan, Baran; Kiziltas, Safak; Aydin, Mehtap; Y-1366-2018; A-4721-2018
    Wegener granulomatosis is a multisystemic disease associated with high mortality rate and characterized by necrotizing granulomatous vasculitis predominantly in the respiratory tract and kidneys. Presence of kidney failure at the time of diagnosis describes a poor prognostic marker. We presented a Wegener granulomatosis case complicated with brain abscess caused by Nocardia.
