Activity of imipenem/relebactam against KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae and the possible role of Ompk36 mutation in determining resistance: an Italian retrospective analysis.
Background: Antimicrobial resistance in Enterobacterales represents a substantial threat in modern clinical practice and the collection of data on the efficacy of new molecules is of paramount importance. Our study aimed to analyse the in vitro activity of imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam (IMI/REL) against KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPC-Kp) and investigate the genetic determinants of resistance to this agent.
Methods: A total of 603 KPC-Kp strains, which were randomly collected during a multicentre study in northern Italy in the period 2016-2018, were analysed retrospectively. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed using a commercial broth microdilution. IMI-REL-resistant KPC-Kp strains were further analysed by whole genome sequencing to identify resistance determinants.
Results: Ninety-eight percent of KPC-Kp (591/603) showed in vitro susceptibility to IMI/REL, with a minimum inhibitory concentration below the EUCAST cut-off. Different mutations in OmpK36 were found in all 12 IMI/REL-resistant strains, which belonged to MLST STs 258 (3 isolates), 307 (8 isolates) and 512 (1 isolate), but no clonal relatedness was detected by the minimum spanning tree analysis, except for 2 strains isolated in the same hospital. Equal distribution of blaKPC-2 (6/12) and blaKPC-3 (6/12) was found, and in 11 isolates the presence of genetic variants associated with the production of beta-lactamases was also identified. KPC-Kp resistant to IMI/REL retained susceptibility to meropenem/vaborbactam (MVB, 12/12, 100%) and ceftazidime/avibactam (CZA, 11/12, 91.7%). Only one strain of 603 was resistant to either MVB and CZA but susceptible to IMI/REL with a MIC of 2 mg/L; 4/603 (0.7%) were resistant to CZA but susceptible to IMI/REL and MVB.
Conclusions: IMI/REL showed good in vitro activity against the KPC-Kp strains analysed. All the IMI/REL-resistant strains displayed a mutation in porin OmpK36 and produced carbapenemases, with KPC-2 and KPC-3 being equally distributed. MVB and CZA maintained good activity against IMI/REL resistant isolates.
期刊介绍：
Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials considers good quality, novel and international research of more than regional relevance. Research must include epidemiological and/or clinical information about isolates, and the journal covers the clinical microbiology of bacteria, viruses and fungi, as well as antimicrobial treatment of infectious diseases.
Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials is an open access, peer-reviewed journal focusing on information concerning clinical microbiology, infectious diseases and antimicrobials. The management of infectious disease is dependent on correct diagnosis and appropriate antimicrobial treatment, and with this in mind, the journal aims to improve the communication between laboratory and clinical science in the field of clinical microbiology and antimicrobial treatment. Furthermore, the journal has no restrictions on space or access; this ensures that the journal can reach the widest possible audience.
