High mortality of bloodstream infection outbreak caused by carbapenem-resistant producing SPM-1 in a bone marrow transplant unit Free

Abstract

Carbapenem resistance in is increasing worldwide. In Brazil, SPM-1 is the main carbapenemase identified. Little is known about the virulence factor in SPM-1 clones.

We describe a carbapenem-resistant bloodstream infection (CR-BSI) outbreak in a bone marrow transplant Unit (BMT). Twenty-nine CR-BSI cases were compared to 58 controls. Microbiological characteristics of isolates, such as sensitivity, carbapenemase gene PCR for , and PFGE are described, as well as the whole-genome sequence (WGS) of three strains.

The cultures from environmental and healthcare workers were negative. Some isolates harboured KPC and SPM. The WGS showed that the 03 strains belonged to ST277, presented the same mutations in outer membrane protein, efflux pump, and virulence genes such as those involved in adhesion, biofilm, quorum-sensing and the type III secretion system, but differ regarding the carbapenemase profile. A predominant clone-producing SPM harbouring Tn 4371 was identified and showed cross-transmission; no common source was found. Overall mortality rate among cases was 79 %. The first multivariate analysis model showed that neutropenia (=0.018), GVHD prophylaxis (=0.016) and prior use of carbapenems (=0.0089) were associated with CR-BSI. However, when MASCC21 points and platelets were added in the final multivariate analysis, only prior use of carbapenems remained as an independent risk factor for CR-BSI (=0.043).

The predominant clone belonging to ST277 showed high mortality. Carbapenem use was the only risk factor associated with CR-BSI. This finding is a wake-up call for the need to improve management in BMT units.
