The emergence of multidrug-resistant Gram-positive bloodstream infections in India - a single center prospective cohort study.
Introduction: Gram-positive bloodstream infections (BSIs) are an emerging health concern, especially in resource-limited settings. There is a paucity of data regarding the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) pattern of Gram-positive BSIs. The rise in multidrug-resistant infections further convoluted antibiotic selection. We aimed to assess the incidence, clinical and microbiological profile, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and outcome in Gram-positive BSIs.
Methods: This was a single-center prospective study conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Western India. All patients (age ≥18 years) with culture-proven Gram-positive BSIs were included. Data were collected on all patients' demography, risk factors, AMR and clinical outcome.
Results: A total of 210 clinically significant isolates were grown from July 2020 to December 2021. The incidence of Gram-positive BSIs was 29% (n=61); 55.9% of cases were healthcare-associated, while 44.1% were community-acquired. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) were the major isolates (36.1%), followed by Enterococcus spp. (27.9%), methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) (18%) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (14.7%). The proportion of vancomycin and teicoplanin-resistant CoNS isolates was 13.6% and 19%. Among Enterococcus isolates, the proportion of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and linezolid-resistant enterococci (LRE) were 11.8% and 5.9%. The overall mortality in Gram-positive BSIs was 42.6%. Older age, MRSA infection, septic shock, and high NLR were significantly associated with mortality. On the Cox regression model, age ≥65 years (HR: 2.5; 95%CI: 1.1-5.8; p=0.024) and MRSA infection (HR: 3.6; 95%CI: 1.5-8.5; p=0.021) were found as independent predictors of 30-day mortality.
Conclusions: This study found substantial mortality with Gram-positive BSIs, especially MRSA infections. Moreover, the emergence of VRE and LRE is also alarming. Active surveillance of AMR and evaluation of mortality predictors may help overcome the therapeutic challenges in managing BSIs.
