Abstract
Introduction

Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) is a global threat. We evaluate the prevalence of CPE among isolates categorized as meropenem-susceptible, but that meet the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) screening cut-off values for carbapenemase detection, and analyze the susceptibility of these isolates to new available drugs.

Methods

We analyzed 257 isolates from patients hospitalized in a tertiary hospital in Brazil, from July 2022 to April 2023. Only isolates that met the screening cut-off values established by EUCAST for detection of carbapenemases were analyzed (i.e. meropenem inhibition zones of 25–27mm by disk diffusion). The detection of carbapenemases was performed by immnunochromatographic testing and confirmed by high-resolution melting-PCR (HRM-qPCR).

Results

We identified 12 (4.7%) CPE including 7 KPC, 4 NDM, and 1 OXA-48-like. The isolates were susceptible to ceftazidime–avibactam (72.7%), meropenem–vaborbactam (100%), imipenem–relebactam (63.6%) and ceftolozane–tazobactam (36.4%).

Conclusion

We highlight the importance of tracking carbapenemases for epidemiological control and therapeutic guidance.

Resumen
Introducción

Las Enterobacterales productoras de carbapenemasas (EPC) constituyen una amenaza mundial. Evaluamos la prevalencia de EPC entre cepas categorizadas como sensibles a meropenem, pero que cumplen los criterios del European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) para la detección de EPC, y su sensibilidad a nuevos antimicrobianos.

Métodos

Analizamos 257 aislamientos de pacientes hospitalizados en un hospital terciario de Brasil (julio- 2022 a abril-2023). Solo se analizaron los aislados que cumplían los valores de puntos de corte establecidos por el EUCAST para la detección de carbapenemasas (halo de inhibición de meropenem de 25-27mm por difusión con disco). La detección de carbapenemasas se realizó mediante inmunocromatografía y se confirmó mediante análisis de PCR de alta resolución (HRM-qPCR).

Resultados

Identificamos 12 (4,7%) EPC, incluyendo 7 KPC, 4 NDM y 1 OXA-48-like. Los aislados eran sensibles a ceftazidima-avibactam (72,7%), meropenem-vaborbactam (100%), imipenem-relebactam (63,6%) y ceftolozano-tazobactam.

Conclusión

Destacamos la importancia del seguimiento de las carbapenemasas para el control epidemiológico y orientación terapéutica.
