Universal Multiplex Panel Testing of Donor Lungs as a Strategy to Optimize Antibiotic Prophylaxis Against Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria.
Background: Twenty percent of lung donors in our transplant program carry respiratory carbapenem-resistant (CR) gram-negative bacteria (GNB), most commonly CR Acinetobacter baumannii. Universal multiplex panel testing of lung transplant donors was introduced in June 2022 as a strategy to expedite CR-GNB detection and optimize perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis. We herein describe our experiences with this approach.
Methods: Retrospective single-center cohort study including 53 adult patients who underwent lung-only transplantation between June 2022 and December 2023.
Results: The most common bacteria identified by the multiplex panel were Staphylococcus aureus (n = 20), A. baumannii (n = 13), Klebsiella pneumoniae (n = 13), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 10). The panel detected 6/9 A. baumannii, 2/2 CR K. pneumoniae, 1/1 CR P. aeruginosa, and 7/8 methicillin-resistant S. aureus that were grown on conventional cultures, corresponding to negative predictive values of 94%, 100%, 100%, and 98%. Based on panel or culture results, IV tigecycline was administered as prophylaxis in 19% of patients, colistin in 17%, and novel beta-lactams in 15%.
Conclusion: The multiplex panel rapidly detected donor CR-GNB with a high negative predictive value and resulted in clinical effects of reducing broad-spectrum antibiotic prescriptions and maintaining adequate posttransplant outcomes. Prospective studies with predefined outcomes are needed to compare panel-directed therapy against current standards of care.
期刊介绍：
Transplant Infectious Disease has been established as a forum for presenting the most current information on the prevention and treatment of infection complicating organ and bone marrow transplantation. The point of view of the journal is that infection and allograft rejection (or graft-versus-host disease) are closely intertwined, and that advances in one area will have immediate consequences on the other. The interaction of the transplant recipient with potential microbial invaders, the impact of immunosuppressive strategies on this interaction, and the effects of cytokines, growth factors, and chemokines liberated during the course of infections, rejection, or graft-versus-host disease are central to the interests and mission of this journal.
Transplant Infectious Disease is aimed at disseminating the latest information relevant to the infectious disease complications of transplantation to clinicians and scientists involved in bone marrow, kidney, liver, heart, lung, intestinal, and pancreatic transplantation. The infectious disease consequences and concerns regarding innovative transplant strategies, from novel immunosuppressive agents to xenotransplantation, are very much a concern of this journal. In addition, this journal feels a particular responsibility to inform primary care practitioners in the community, who increasingly are sharing the responsibility for the care of these patients, of the special considerations regarding the prevention and treatment of infection in transplant recipients. As exemplified by the international editorial board, articles are sought throughout the world that address both general issues and those of a more restricted geographic import.
