    Abstract Infections caused by multi drug resistant bacteria (MDRB) constitutes an international health care problem. Since the year 2000, a longitudinal surveillance programme (LSP) and two multicentric surveys (100 hospitals, 826 isolates) were performed to monitor the emergence of MDRB in Belgium. The implementation of a LSP detected the emergence and spread of new types of ESBLs (CTX-M), mostly among community associated E. coli in the setting of a university hospital several years before the large spread and recognition in Belgium of a pathogenic E. coli CTX-M-15 (B2-O25:H4-ST131) pandemic clone (found in extra-intestinal virulent strains). This finding supports the progressive increase in Belgium of systemic infections including UTI caused by MDRB with limited therapeutical options. The real burden of the problem remains however, difficult to estimate in the absence of any surveillance network in Belgium to monitor the epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance in the community. The current Belgian national recommendations for the detection, surveillance, prevention and control of epidemics by ESBL-producing organisms and possibly other MDRBs (eg: Carbapenemase producing Enterobacteriaceae [CPE]) must be updated taking into accounts these new elements. A global coordinated network for antimicrobial surveillance resistance gathering experts (e.g: public health epidemiologists, representative of the national reference centres of antimicrobial resistance, field experts in infection control, infectious disease specialists, other clinicians and general practitioners) must be urgently implemented, including the longitudinal analysis of resistance in different ecosystems (human, animal, water and food).

    Abstract Infections with carbapenem-resistant (CR) Gram-negative (GN) pathogens have increased in many countries worldwide, leaving only few therapeutic options. Cefiderocol (CFDC) is approved in Europe for the treatment of aerobic GN infections in adults with limited treatment options. This study evaluated the in vitro activity of cefiderocol and comparators against multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria including meropenem-resistant (MR) or pandrug-resistant (PR) GN clinical isolates from France and Belgium. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of CFDC were determined by broth microdilution, using iron-depleted cation-adjusted Mueller-Hinton broth, and were compared to those of 10 last-line antibiotics. The MICs were interpreted according to EUCAST and CLSI breakpoints, and in the absence of species-specific breakpoints, non-species-related pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic breakpoints were used. Among the 476 isolates tested, 322 were carbapenemase producers (CP), 58 non-CP-CRs, 52 intrinsically CR, 41 expanded-spectrum cephalosporin resistant and 5 were multi-susceptible. Susceptibility to CFDC was high using EUCAST breakpoints 81%, 99% and 84%, and was even higher using CLSI breakpoints to 93%, 100% and 88% for Enterobacterales,

    Abstract Objectives: Accurate and fast identification of carbapenemase producers is essential for optimal patient management. Here, a new lateral flow immunochromatographic RESIST-4 K-SeT assay was assessed for the detection of carbapenemases in Enterobacteriaceae and non-fermenters.
    Methods: The RESIST-4 K-SeT assay targets OXA-48-like, KPC, VIM and NDM, but not IMP carbapenemases. The assay was first evaluated using a collection of isolates with well-characterized resistance mechanisms to β-lactams (n = 134) and against an international external quality assessment carbapenemase panel (n = 8). The assay was then challenged prospectively using 345 consecutive, non-duplicate isolates including 279 Enterobacteriaceae and 66 non-fermenters (mostly Pseudomonas spp.) that were sent to the Belgian National Reference Centre for identification of the mechanisms related to carbapenem resistance.
    Results: Globally, for the collection of retrospective and prospective clinical isolates (n = 479), the assay showed a sensitivity ranging from 99% for the detection of VIM to 100% for the detection of OXA-48-like, KPC and NDM carbapenemase-producing strains. The specificity was 100% for each carbapenemase and a perfect match in results was observed for the external quality assessment for the carbapenemases targeted by the assay.
    Conclusions: The RESIST-4 K-SeT assay is a valuable alternative for detection and identification of carbapenemases from culture isolates compared with the more costly molecular assays, which may also further require skilled staff and dedicated facilities.

    Abstract Background: Colistin serves as the last line of defense against multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections in both human and veterinary medicine. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence and spread of colistin-resistant Enterobacterales (ColR-E) using a One Health approach in Belgium and in the Netherlands.
    Methods: In a transnational research project, a total of 998 hospitalized patients, 1430 long-term care facility (LTCF) residents, 947 children attending day care centres, 1597 pigs and 1691 broilers were sampled for the presence of ColR-E in 2017 and 2018, followed by a second round twelve months later for hospitalized patients and animals. Colistin treatment incidence in livestock farms was used to determine the association between colistin use and resistance. Selective cultures and colistin minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were employed to identify ColR-E. A combination of short-read and long-read sequencing was utilized to investigate the molecular characteristics of 562 colistin-resistant isolates. Core genome multi-locus sequence typing (cgMLST) was applied to examine potential transmission events.
    Results: The presence of ColR-E was observed in all One Health sectors. In Dutch hospitalized patients, ColR-E proportions (11.3 and 11.8% in both measurements) were higher than in Belgian patients (4.4 and 7.9% in both measurements), while the occurrence of ColR-E in Belgian LTCF residents (10.2%) and children in day care centres (17.6%) was higher than in their Dutch counterparts (5.6% and 12.8%, respectively). Colistin use in pig farms was associated with the occurrence of colistin resistance. The percentage of pigs carrying ColR-E was 21.8 and 23.3% in Belgium and 14.6% and 8.9% in the Netherlands during both measurements. The proportion of broilers carrying ColR-E in the Netherlands (5.3 and 1.5%) was higher compared to Belgium (1.5 and 0.7%) in both measurements. mcr-harboring E. coli were detected in 17.4% (31/178) of the screened pigs from 7 Belgian pig farms. Concurrently, four human-related Enterobacter spp. isolates harbored mcr-9.1 and mcr-10 genes. The majority of colistin-resistant isolates (419/473, 88.6% E. coli; 126/166, 75.9% Klebsiella spp.; 50/75, 66.7% Enterobacter spp.) were susceptible to the critically important antibiotics (extended-spectrum cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones, carbapenems and aminoglycosides). Chromosomal colistin resistance mutations have been identified in globally prevalent high-risk clonal lineages, including E. coli ST131 (n = 17) and ST1193 (n = 4). Clonally related isolates were detected in different patients, healthy individuals and livestock animals of the same site suggesting local transmission. Clonal clustering of E. coli ST10 and K. pneumoniae ST45 was identified in different sites from both countries suggesting that these clones have the potential to spread colistin resistance through the human population or were acquired by exposure to a common (food) source. In pig farms, the continuous circulation of related isolates was observed over time. Inter-host transmission between humans and livestock animals was not detected.
    Conclusions: The findings of this study contribute to a broader understanding of ColR-E prevalence and the possible pathways of transmission, offering insights valuable to both academic research and public health policy development.

    Abstract OXA-48-producing Enterobacterales have now widely disseminated throughout the world. Several variants have now been reported, differing by just a few amino-acid substitutions or deletions, mostly in the region of the loop β5-β6. As OXA-48 hydrolyzes carbapenems but lacks significant expanded-spectrum cephalosporin (ESC) hydrolytic activity, ESCs were suggested as a therapeutic option. Here, we have characterized OXA-517, a natural variant of OXA-48- with an Arg214Lys substitution and a deletion of Ile215 and Glu216 in the β5-β6 loop, capable of hydrolyzing at the same time ESC and carbapenems.

    Abstract Untargeted bacteriological surveillance of superficial and deep body sites is frequently performed routinely in various clinical settings. This practice is based on the assumption that early identification of surface microbial flora might be predictive of organisms that will later cause invasive disease and that it may consequently assist in guiding empirical antibiotic therapy. A comprehensive review of the literature however indicates that the clinical value and cost-effectiveness of such practices still remain debated and appear largely unproven in most conditions and situations where they are routinely advocated. The present article reviews and critically discusses the available body of evidence supporting or disproving the use of bacteriological surveillance cultures. It is also aimed to issue general recommendations, strategies and methodologies that could be applied in different hospital care settings including the neonatal or adult intensive care as well as the hematology-oncology units.

    Abstract LAB-Net, the laboratory network of COMBACTE, has established itself as an indispensable network for clinical trials in infectious diseases that plays a crucial part across 30 clinical studies not only within, but also outside the COMBACTE consortium. Since its official launch in January 2013, LAB-Net has expanded more than threefold and in Q4 2020 it encompasses 841 labs across 41 countries in Europe. In addition, LAB-Net has crossed the European borders and collaborates with more than 300 laboratories spread across the globe. The tight collaboration with partners within COMBACTE and beyond contributed tremendously to the growth of LAB-Net over the years. A sustainable infrastructure beyond COMBACTE-NET is needed to ensure the smooth handover and continuity of the achievements made by the project.
