    Abstract Stenotrophomonas maltophilia
    Materials: PubMed/MEDLINE and Embase were searched from inception to 30 November 2022. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes included clinical failure, adverse events, and length of stay. A random effects meta-analysis was performed. This study was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42022321893).
    Results: Twenty-four studies, all retrospective, were included. A significant difference in terms of overall mortality was observed when comparing as a monotherapy TMP/SMX versus FQs (odds ratio (OR) 1.46, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.15-1.86, I
    Conclusions: Against SM infections, FQs and, possibly, TDs seem to be reasonable alternative choices to TMP/SMX. Data from clinical trials are urgently needed to better inform therapeutic choices in this setting by also taking into account newer agents.

    Abstract The advent of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in China at the end of 2019 has developed into a global outbreak, and COVID- 19 is an ongoing major public health issue. During the pandemic, transplant programs had to devise strategies to deal with the possibility of COVID-19-positive donors and recipients. We describe the case of a heart transplant recipient who tested positive with the SARS- CoV2 swab upon admission to our Unit of Cardiac Surgery when a suitable donor became available. Given his clinical status of end-stage heart failure and the absence of imaging and clinical signs suggestive of COVID-19, and his having been vaccinated with three doses, we decided to proceed with the transplant.

    Abstract Data regarding the immunological memory and long-time kinetics of immunoglobulin (IgG) against viral nucleoprotein (NP) and spike protein S1 receptor-binding domain (S1RBD) of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-associated Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are lacking. All consecutive COVID-19 patients admitted to our Clinic between March 1, 2020, and May 1, 2020, who were tested at hospital admission for anti-S1RBD and anti-NP IgG were enrolled. Serum samples were tested for anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies with the use of two commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Results are expressed as optical density measurements at 450 nm (OD

    Abstract Background and aim: Since December 2019, the Coronavirus disease 2019, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (Sars-CoV-2), has spread from China, becoming a pandemic. Bacterial and fungal co-infections may lead to increase in COVID-19 severity with a decrease in patients survive. The aim of this work was to evaluate bacterial and fungal co-infections in COVID-19 patients admitted to ICU in comparison with patients recovered in ICU in pre-COVID-19 era in order to understand whether the pandemic had changed the incidence of overinfections in patients admitted to ICU. In fact, the epidemiological data should guide the choice of empirical therapy.
    Methods: During pandemic, AOUC Policlinico of Bari organized dedicated ICUs for patient with SARS-CoV-2. Blood cultures, urine, and tracheobronchial aspirate were included in the analysis.
    Results: Specimens of 1905 patients were analysed in this work. Comparing clinical isolates prevalence by material and COVID-19 vs. non-COVID-19 patients statistically significant differences were detected for A. baumannii complex, Aspergillus fumigatus, Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae and Serratia marcescens isolated from tracheobronchial aspirates; C. albicans from urine samples, A. baumannii complex, Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium isolated from blood culture.
    Conclusions: Although the organisms isolated in COVID-19 patients are consistent with those frequently associated with healthcare associated infection, our data suggest a particular prevalence in COVID-19 patients of A. baumannii, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Aspergillus spp. in the respiratory tract, C. albicans in urine and  A. baumannii, E. faecalis and E. faecium in blood cultures.

    Abstract In March, people living with HIV infection (PLWH) were included in the risk category of fragile people for severe COVID-19 receiving priority access to vaccination with BNT162b2 vaccine. The aim of the study was to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of the two doses regimen. The antibodies titer for severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) was evaluated after 21 days since the first administration (Time 1), 1 (Time 2), and 3 (Time 3) months post-vaccination. Information regarding virological and immunological conditions at baseline, previous SARS-CoV-2 state of infection, other immunodeficiencies, current antiretroviral therapy (ART), comorbidities, and severe adverse events (SAE) to vaccination was collected. Six hundred and ninety-seven patients were tested for quantitative anti-spike antibodies at Time 1, 577 patients had a second detection at Time 2, and 491 patients had the third detection. Baseline characteristics of the study population are reported in Table 1. At the time of vaccine administration, all patients were on ART (except one long-term nonprogressor); 632 (90.7%) patients had undetectable HIV-RNA; 12 (1.7%) patients were immunosuppressed due to chemotherapy or other immunosuppressive drugs; 345 (49.5%) patients had at least one COVID-19 related comorbidity and 155 (22.2%) had two or more comorbidities. No SAEs were reported. Final serological results are available for 694 patients after the first dose, 577 and 491 after the second and third ones, respectively; positive titer (values ≥ 50 AU/ml) was demonstrated in 653 (94.1%), 576 (99.8%), 484 (98.6%) patients, respectively. Only one patient was a nonresponder after completing vaccination, who was a newly diagnosed one for HIV infection. All vaccinations were well tolerated, with no SAEs. BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine was immunogenic and safe in PLWH.

    Abstract Objectives: To assess the impact of piperacillin/tazobactam MICs on in-hospital 30 day mortality in patients with third-generation cephalosporin-resistant Escherichia coli bloodstream infection treated with piperacillin/tazobactam, compared with those treated with carbapenems.
    Methods: A multicentre retrospective cohort study was conducted in three large academic hospitals in Italy between 2018 and 2022. The study population comprised patients with monomicrobial third-generation cephalosporin-resistant E. coli bloodstream infection, who received either piperacillin/tazobactam or carbapenem therapy within 48 h of blood culture collection. The primary outcome was in-hospital 30 day all-cause mortality. A propensity score was used to estimate the likelihood of receiving empirical piperacillin/tazobactam treatment. Cox regression models were performed to ascertain risk factors independently associated with in-hospital 30 day mortality.
    Results: Of the 412 consecutive patients included in the study, 51% received empirical therapy with piperacillin/tazobactam, while 49% received carbapenem therapy. In the propensity-adjusted multiple Cox model, the Pitt bacteraemia score [HR 1.38 (95% CI, 0.85-2.16)] and piperacillin/tazobactam MICs of 8 mg/L [HR 2.35 (95% CI, 1.35-3.95)] and ≥16 mg/L [HR 3.69 (95% CI, 1.86-6.91)] were significantly associated with increased in-hospital 30 day mortality, while the empirical use of piperacillin/tazobactam was not found to predict in-hospital 30 day mortality [HR 1.38 (95% CI, 0.85-2.16)].
    Conclusions: Piperacillin/tazobactam use might not be associated with increased mortality in treating third-generation cephalosporin-resistant E. coli bloodstream infections when the MIC is <8 mg/L.

    Abstract Rapid start of antiretroviral therapy (ART) pending genotypic resistance test (GRT) has been recently proposed, but the effectiveness of this strategy is still debated. The rate of virological success (VS), defined as HIV-RNA < 50 copies/ml, with and without GRT was compared in drug-naïve individuals enrolled in the Italian ARCA cohort who started ART between 2015 and 2018. 521 individuals started ART: 397 without GRT (pre-GRT group) and 124 following GRT (post-GRT group). Overall, 398 (76%) were males and 30 (6%) were diagnosed with AIDS. In the pre-GRT group, baseline CD4+ cell counts were lower (p < 0.001), and viral load was higher (p < 0.001) than in the post-GRT group. The estimated probability of VS in pre-GRT versus post-GRT group was 72.54% (CI
