Dissemination of NDM-producing bacteria in Southern Brazil

Lavinia N. V. S. Arend et al.

Summary: This study investigated carbapenem-resistant isolates from multiple hospitals in Southern Brazil and identified 486 bacteria carrying the NDM gene. The incidence of NDM-producing bacteria varied, with the most common strain being K. pneumoniae. One K. pneumoniae strain carried 5 plasmids: Col440I, Col440II, IncFIA(HI1), IncFIB(K), IncFIB(pQil)/IncFII(K), and IncR. The presence of multiple plasmids may contribute to the expansion of NDM-producing bacteria.

Trend analysis of carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria and antimicrobial consumption in the post- COVID-19 era: an extra challenge for healthcare institutions

V. M. de Carvalho Hessel Dias et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the incidence density trend of carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria and antimicrobial consumption in 99 critical care facilities in a low/middle-income country. The findings showed an increase in the incidence density of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) in 2020, which was strongly correlated with the incidence density of COVID-19. There was also an increase in polymyxin consumption in 2020, but it was not significantly correlated with CRAB or COVID-19 incidence density, likely due to empirical and untargeted prescribing.

COVID-19 and antimicrobial resistance: A cross-study

Sidra Ghazali Rizvi et al.

Summary: Antimicrobial resistance is becoming a serious concern due to overuse of antibiotics, exacerbated by the increase in global antibiotic usage during the COVID-19 pandemic. This has led to higher concentrations of residual antibiotics in wastewater, posing a threat to natural water bodies. Urgent measures are needed to curb antibiotic usage and improve wastewater treatment to efficiently remove residual contaminants.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the incidence of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections in an acute care hospital in Brazil

Matheus Polly et al.

Summary: The study found that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the overall incidence density of multidrug-resistant infections increased, with significant increases in CRAB and MRSA infections in ICU settings. Meanwhile, there was a decrease in CRE and CRP infections. Infection control teams should be vigilant about possible outbreaks of CRAB and MRSA and promote adherence to infection control measures as healthcare needs evolve during and after the pandemic.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare-associated infection incidence in US hospitals. The results showed significant increases in various infection rates in 2020, with ventilator-associated events and ventilator utilization showing consistent increases throughout the year. The findings emphasize the need to return to conventional infection prevention and control practices and build resilience in these programs to withstand future pandemics.

Description of a novel IncP plasmid harboring blaKPC-2 recovered from a SPM-1-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa from ST277

Melise Chaves Silveira et al.

Summary: The high rates of carbapenem resistance among Brazilian Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates are mainly associated with the clone ST277 producing the carbapenemase SPM-1. The complete genetic composition of a IncP plasmid harboring blaKPC-2 in isolates of this endemic clone carrying chromosomal blaSPM-1 was described using whole genome sequencing. These results confirm the association of these two carbapenemases in ST277 and also describe the genetic composition of a novel blaKPC-2-plasmid. Considering the fact that this association occurs in a high-risk clone, monitoring the dissemination of this plasmid should be a public health concern.

Country data on AMR in Brazil in the context of community-acquired respiratory tract infections: links between antibiotic susceptibility, local and international antibiotic prescribing guidelines, access to medicine and clinical outcome

Didem Torumkuney et al.

Summary: Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major threat to global public health, driven by inappropriate use of antibiotics. COVID-19 may have worsened AMR due to unnecessary antibiotic prescribing. This study reviews the situation of AMR in Brazil and initiatives addressing it, aiming to identify areas where more information is needed to take action against AMR and improve patient outcomes.

Summary: There has been a steady increase in the frequency of NDM among Enterobacterales resistant to carbapenems in a tertiary care hospital in southern Brazil. The second most common carbapenemase gene, bla(NDM-like), increased from 4.2% in 2015 to 24% in 2020, posing a significant challenge for treatment options.
