1 Key pints Intrductin Carbapenemase Prducing Enterbacterales (CPE) in Ireland: 2017 The case definitin has been amended t avid cunting CPE cases in the same hspital mre than nce and thus mre accurately reflect the burden n CPE in Ireland, particularly in Irish hspitals In 2017, 449 cnfirmed CPE islates were reprted by 32 micrbilgy labratries, with the majrity detected frm screening specimens (79%). Seven labratries reprted zer islates The distributin by patient lcatin at specimen cllectin was: hspital inpatient (n=378; 84%), hspital utpatient (n=30), lng-term care facility resident (n=29) and patients attending general practitiners (n=12) Data n patient islatin status within 24 hurs f a suspected CPE labratry result was nt reprted fr 28% f inpatient cases. Where data was reprted, the majrity f inpatients were islated (n=254; 92%), with 20 (7%) wh were discharged prir t the labratry result being available. Three patients were nt islated Due t recent taxnmic changes, many f the species cmprising the family Enterbacteriaceae have nw been re-classified within the Order Enterbacterales). Carbapenemase prducing Enterbacterales (CPE), ften interchangeably knwn as carbapenem resistant Enterbacterales (CRE) are a grwing threat t public health due t very limited ptins fr treatment f infectin. In 2015, the prprtin f invasive carbapenem resistant K. pneumniae islates causing bldstream infectin (BSI) reprted t the Eurpean Antimicrbial Resistance Surveillance Netwrk (EARS-Net) varied frm 0% in sme Nrdic cuntries t 33% in Italy and 62% in Greece. Hwever, BSI represent the tip f the iceberg, as ther mre cmmn infectin types (e.g., urinary tract r wund infectins) and asymptmatic and ften unrecgnised enteric/gut clnisatin als cntribute t the successful disseminatin f CPE, particularly in healthcare settings. In 2011, invasive CRE infectin was made ntifiable in Ireland and a vluntary enhanced surveillance system fr all CRE islates was launched. In 2013, in respnse t an increasing trend in invasive multi-drug resistant K. pneumniae (MDRKP) infectins, a prprtin f which were als carbapenem resistant, a natinal MDRKP utbreak cntrl team was established, alng with a mandatry enhanced surveillance scheme fr all MDRKP islates (frm invasive and nn-invasive infectins, clnisatin and active screening) frm January T the end f 2016, MDRKP was reprted by 88% f Irish hspitals, with cases als bserved in primary and residential care. The surveillance system indicated widespread disseminatin f MDRKP in Ireland. Of particular cncern was the rapid bserved increase in the prprtin f MDRKP that were als carbapenemase prducers (195% increase in 2016 versus 2015). In respnse t this threat, the mandatry MDRKP and vluntary CRE surveillance schemes were replaced with the mandatry CPE enhanced surveillance scheme in January The Natinal Carbapenemase Prducing Enterbacterales Reference Labratry Service (NCPERLS), based at Galway University Hspital has prvided reference services since Octber 2012, with the annual ttal number f patients with newlycnfirmed CPE increasing frm 50 in 2013 t 433 in Carbapenemase Prducing Enterbacterales (CPE) in Ireland: 2017 (prduced May 2018) Page 1

2 Revised case definitin The first islate per patient f any Enterbacterales species that is a cnfirmed carbapenemaseprducer frm any specimen type, either infectin r carriage: (e.g., if first islate is a screening specimen, a subsequent BSI due t the same islate wn t be cunted in surveillance) If the same carbapenemase is fund in islates f tw r mre species frm the same patient, then nly the first species is included (e.g., OXA-48 E. cli fllwed by OXA-48 Enterbacter clacae; nly the OXA-48 E. cli will be cunted in surveillance) If a different carbapenemase is fund in an islate f any species in a subsequent specimen frm the same patient, then the first islate with this ther carbapenemase is included (e.g., OXA-48 E. cli, fllwed by NDM-1 K. pneumniae; bth will be cunted in surveillance) If an rganism is nt islated r fails t grw, but a carbapenemase is detected by direct PCR n the specimen, such CPEs shuld nt be reprted The case definitin fr enhanced surveillance des nt distinguish between islates frm the same patient identified in different hspitals. Results Appendix 1 summarises the data reprted by acute hspitals and Hspital Grups in Thirty-tw micrbilgy labratries reprted 449 islates frm 447 patients, with seven labratries reprting zer islates. In 2017, ne labratry did nt submit data fr quarters 3 and 4 due t n-ging resurce issues and anther labratry did nt submit data fr quarter 4. If prbable duplicate patients between hspitals are excluded (based n date-f-birth, gender r specific infrmatin supplied), the ttal number f patients reprted t enhanced CPE surveillance in 2017 was 427, which is similar t the NCPERLS ttal f 433 patients with newly-cnfirmed CPE. It is ntewrthy that there are differences in what is cunted: NCPERLS reprts based n the date an islate is received, while CPE enhanced surveillance is based n the specimen cllectin date and reprts n the first islate per patient per year, which may include mre than newly-cnfirmed patients (i.e., when a patient was previusly knwn with CPE in the preceding year) As the case definitin nw nly requires reprting f the first islate f any Enterbacterales species with the same enzyme fr the year, patients are nly cunted nce in this surveillance prgramme, unless a subsequent islate frm the same patient is reprted with a different enzyme: Tw patients had tw different carbapenemases reprted: bth with OXA-48 and NDM islated frm the same screening specimens Tw patients had tw different carbapenemases reprted frm tw separate specimens: OXA-48 Enterbacter clacae frm a clinical specimen and VIM E. clacae frm a screening specimen where bth specimens taken n the same date OXA-48 E. cli frm a screening specimen and OXA-181/232 E. cli frm a subsequent clinical specimen Natinally, the majrity were OXA-48 (73%), with KPC predminant in the mid-west (n=45; 79% f KPC islates). Three species accunted fr 75% f all CPE islates: K. pneumniae (31%), E. cli (23%) and Enterbacter clacae (21%), as displayed in Table 1 and Figure 1 Males (57%) and patients aged 57 years (75%) accunted fr the majrity f cases The majrity f islates were detected frm screening specimens (n=353; 79%), with the remainder frm clinical specimens (n=96; 21%), f which seven were frm BSI Inpatients in 33 hspitals accunted fr the majrity f carbapenemases (n=378; 78%): Admissin and specimen dates were reprted fr 321 (85%), with a median interval between admissin and first psitive result f eight days (range = 0 458) Carbapenemase Prducing Enterbacterales (CPE) in Ireland: 2017 (prduced May 2018) Page 2

Of thse, infrmatin n antimicrbial therapy was prvided fr 45 (63%), with 25 f thse (60%) having required antimicrbial therapy active against a carbapenemase fr suspected infectin prir t case ntificatin. Hwever, fr ver ne-third f clinical islates frm inpatients (37%), infrmatin n antimicrbial therapy by the time f case ntificatin was nt reprted Infrmatin n inpatient islatin status within 24 hurs f the labratry reprting a suspected carbapenemase was prvided fr 277 islates (73%), with the majrity f patients islated (n=254; 92%) and 16 wh were (8%) discharged prir t the result. In three cases, the patient was nt islated within 24 hurs. Hwever, fr 28% f inpatient islates (n=105), islatin status was nt reprted In 2017, the majrity f inpatient CPEs were reprted frm screening specimens (rectal swab r faeces).
