Invasive infections by extra-intestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) strains are increasing. We determined O-serogroups of E. coli isolates from ICU patients having bloodstream infections (BSI) and the potential coverage of a 10-valent O-polysaccharide conjugate vaccine currently in development for the prevention of invasive ExPEC disease.
We studied E. coli BSI among patients admitted to a tertiary ICU in the Netherlands between April 2011 and November 2016. O-serogroups were determined in vitro by agglutination and whole genome sequencing.
Among 714 ICU patients having BSI, 70 (10%) had an E. coli BSI. Among 68 (97%) isolates serogrouped, the most common serogroups were O25 (n = 11; 16%), O8 (n = 5; 7%), O2 (n = 4; 6%), O6 (n = 4; 6%), and O15 (n = 4; 6%). The theoretical coverage of a 10-valent ExPEC vaccine was 54% (n = 37).
A multi-valent ExPEC O-polysaccharide conjugate vaccine in development could potentially aid in the prevention of E. coli BSI in Dutch ICU patients.
肠外致病性大肠杆菌(ExPEC)菌株的侵袭性感染正在增加。我们确定了来自 ICU 患者血流感染(BSI)的大肠杆菌分离株的 O 血清群,并评估了目前正在开发的用于预防侵袭性 ExPEC 疾病的 10 价 O 多糖结合疫苗的潜在覆盖范围。
我们研究了 2011 年 4 月至 2016 年 11 月期间在荷兰一家三级 ICU 住院的患者中大肠杆菌 BSI 的情况。通过凝集和全基因组测序在体外确定 O 血清群。
在 714 例 ICU 患者发生 BSI 中,有 70 例(10%)为大肠杆菌 BSI。在 68 例(97%)可分血清群的分离株中,最常见的血清群为 O25(n=11;16%)、O8(n=5;7%)、O2(n=4;6%)、O6(n=4;6%)和 O15(n=4;6%)。理论上 10 价 ExPEC 疫苗的覆盖率为 54%(n=37)。
正在开发的多价 ExPEC O 多糖结合疫苗可能有助于预防荷兰 ICU 患者的大肠杆菌 BSI。
