5 Global Dissemination of KPC United States KPC first reported in North Carolina in 2001-subsequent outbreaks and transmission of KPC-producing organisms reported in northeastern U.S December 2010 KPCs in 36 states (CDC) Dominant clone ST258 accounts for 70% of KPC isolates sent to CDC National USA surveillance MEM-R among clinical K. pneumoniae increased from 0.6% in 2004 to 5.6% in Israel Increased reports of KPC cases started in hospitals and 5 chronic care centers with similar PFGE fingerprints Genetic relation to U.S strains suggested strain exchange Gupta, N et al CID.53:60-67.

6 Global Distribution of KPCs 6 26 countries Nordmann et al EID 17:

7 KPCs in Canada 7 1 st report KPC in Ottawa (3 cases), cases had travel history to USA possible transmission between 2 cases Goldfarb et al. (2009) JCM 47: case from Toronto in 2008, no travel history Pillai et al, (2009) EID 15: Similar plasmids and clones (ST238) from Toronto isolates and NYC Mataseje et al, (2011) JAC. 66:

8 8 KPC Outbreaks Montreal Outbreak 1 ICU 9 cases (3 pneumonia, 1 UTI, I SSI) E. coli (5), K. oxytoca (2), S. marcescens (2), and C. freundii (1) 4 deaths none attributed entirely to infection 2011 Leung et al, Can J Med Micro Infect Dis. In press. Outbreak 2 5 months 27 patients colonized with KPC-Kp and one patient with a KPC-positive E. cloacae 7 infections pneumonia, urinary tract and wound infections Isolation ward with dedicated nursing staff seems to have decreased transmission 2011 Leung et al, ICAAC K-824

9 9 NDM-1 first identified 2007 from a Swedish individual initially hospitalized in India K. pneumoniae UTI colonization and E. coli from a fecal sample Susceptible only colistin

17 Effect of National Infection Control Interventions in Israel on KPC hospitals Direct correlation between compliance of isolation guidelines and success of containment transmission (P=0.02) Schwaber et al CID. Feb 11.

18 18 Why is NDM-1 Getting so much Attention? The Perfect Storm? Overuse of antimicrobials in endemic regions India has 1.3 B people, overcrowding issues Diarrhea common, poor sanitation, overuse leads to community spread NDM-1 found on promiscuous MDR plasmids with addiction systems Most susceptible only to colstin or Tigecycline but pan-resistance also reported No new drugs in the pipeline

20 20 How big of a problem is NDM-1? Tim Walsh, Cardiff University we estimate that the carriage rate of NDM-1 in India is between 100 and 200 million The Times of India, Oct. 9, 2011

Environ Toxicol Chem :

23 23 Why use ESBL/AmpC as a predictor NDM-1 spread? ESBLs rates very high in India similar to what seems to be emerging for NDM-1 NDM-1 is carried on similar plasmids along with CTX-M-15, CMY and OXA genes Epidemic E. coli ST131 now harbours NDM-1 plasmids

24 ESBL+ve isolates, Asia-Pacific 2007; intra-abdominal infection 24 Hawser et al., AAC 2009; 53: 3280

25 Meta-analysis of ESBL vs non- ESBL Risk for Bacteremia 25 Mortality ~2X more likely to die with an ESBL bacteremia Inappropriate Therapy ~6X more likely to receive the wrong antibiotic Schwaber and Carmeli JAC :

26 26 Risk Factors and Mortality Associated with CARB-R K. pneumoniae Bacteremia Cases (n=32) carb-r K. pneumoniae bacteremia matched with other bacterial infections Crude mortality cases 72% vs 22% other bacterial infections Attributable mortality cases was 50% (highest reported for any bacterema caused by other bacteria) 3.3X (95% CI, ) more likely to die Cases significantly more likely: Require care in ICU (37.5% vs 9.4%) Ventilator support (53% vs 25%) Central venous catheters (59% vs 28%) Urinary catheter (84% vs 41%) None of the case subjects received appropriate empiric antibiotic therapy Borer et al, Infect Contr Hosp Epi. 30:972-6.
