To evaluate the susceptibility profiles of regional inpatient meropenem-resistant (MEM-R) carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) isolates and their MIC values to ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA), meropenem-vaborbactam (MVB), and aztreonam-avibactam (ATM-AVI) METHODS: The 2020-2022 Antimicrobial Testing Leadership and Surveillance database were analyzed. Carbapenemase-encoding genes in CPE isolates were identified using multiplex PCR and Sanger sequencing. Susceptibility breakpoints for CZA and MVB recommended by CLSI 2024 and EUCAST 2025 against Enterobacterales were applied.
A total of 2,318 CPE isolates (78.2% were Klebsiella pneumoniae) were tested globally. Notable diversity in carbapenemase-encoding gene distributions was observed among CPE isolates from Africa/the Middle East (10 countries; n=361), Asia (7 countries, excluding India and Pakistan; n=182), Europe (17 countries; n=1,002), and Latin America (10 countries; n=773). Metallo-β-lactamase-encoding genes, predominantly bla, were more frequently detected in CPE isolates from Africa/the Middle East (75.3%, except bla in Kuwait) and Asia (67%, except bla in Taiwan) compared to other regions. Among KPC variants, the KPC-2 enzyme was the predominant one in CPE isolates in Europe (43.4%, except for KPC-3 prevalent specifically in Italy) and in Latin America (62.1%). The susceptibility rates of all analyzed CPE isolates harboring only a single bla gene to CZA and MVB were 99.4% and 93.5%, respectively, based on the CLSI 2024 susceptibility breakpoints. The MIC values of CPE isolates to ATM-AVI were 0.12/0.25 mg/L and 0.5/1 mg/L, respectively, regardless of collection region, dual carbapenemase production, or infection source.
The trends in resistance to novel antibiotics among contemporary CPE isolates need close monitoring.
评估区域住院患者中耐美罗培南(MEM-R)的产碳青霉烯酶肠杆菌科细菌(CPE)分离株的药敏谱及其对头孢他啶-阿维巴坦(CZA)、美罗培南-伏巴坦(MVB)和氨曲南-阿维巴坦(ATM-AVI)的MIC值。方法:分析2020 - 2022年抗菌药物检测领导与监测数据库。使用多重PCR和桑格测序法鉴定CPE分离株中的碳青霉烯酶编码基因。应用CLSI 2024和EUCAST 2025推荐的针对肠杆菌科细菌的CZA和MVB药敏断点。
全球共检测了2318株CPE分离株(78.2%为肺炎克雷伯菌)。在来自非洲/中东(10个国家;n = 361)、亚洲(7个国家,不包括印度和巴基斯坦;n = 182)、欧洲(17个国家;n = 1002)和拉丁美洲(10个国家;n = 773)的CPE分离株中观察到碳青霉烯酶编码基因分布存在显著差异。与其他地区相比,编码金属β-内酰胺酶的基因,主要是bla,在来自非洲/中东(75.3%,科威特除外的bla)和亚洲(67%,台湾除外的bla)的CPE分离株中更频繁地被检测到。在KPC变体中,KPC-2酶是欧洲(43.4%,意大利除外的KPC-3特别流行)和拉丁美洲(62.1%)的CPE分离株中的主要变体。根据CLSI 2024药敏断点,所有仅携带单个bla基因的分析CPE分离株对CZA和MVB的药敏率分别为99.4%和93.5%。无论采集地区、是否产双碳青霉烯酶或感染源如何,CPE分离株对ATM-AVI的MIC值分别为0.12/0.25 mg/L和0.5/1 mg/L。
当代CPE分离株对新型抗生素的耐药趋势需要密切监测。
