    Abstract Background: Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) poses a substantial healthcare challenge. This study assessed the in vitro efficacy of selected antibiotic combinations against CRKP infections.
    Methods: Our research involved the evaluation of 40 clinical isolates of CRKP, with half expressing Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) and half producing Metallo-β-lactamase (MBL), two key enzymes contributing to carbapenem resistance. We determined the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of four antibiotics: eravacycline, tigecycline, polymyxin-B, and ceftazidime/avibactam. Synergistic interactions between these antibiotic combinations were examined using checkerboard and time-kill analyses.
    Results: We noted significant differences in the MICs of ceftazidime/avibactam between KPC and MBL isolates. Checkerboard analysis revealed appreciable synergy between combinations of tigecycline (35%) or eravacycline (40%) with polymyxin-B. The synergy rates for the combination of tigecycline or eravacycline with polymyxin-B were similar among the KPC and MBL isolates. These combinations maintained a synergy rate of 70.6% even against polymyxin-B resistant isolates. In contrast, combinations of tigecycline (5%) or eravacycline (10%) with ceftazidime/avibactam showed significantly lower synergy than combinations with polymyxin-B (P < 0.001 and P = 0.002, respectively). Among the MBL CRKP isolates, only one exhibited synergy with eravacycline or tigecycline and ceftazidime/avibactam combinations, and no synergistic activity was identified in the time-kill analysis for these combinations. The combination of eravacycline and polymyxin-B demonstrated the most promising synergy in the time-kill analysis.
    Conclusion: This study provides substantial evidence of a significant synergy when combining tigecycline or eravacycline with polymyxin-B against CRKP strains, including those producing MBL. These results highlight potential therapeutic strategies against CRKP infections.

    Abstract Background: Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) represents a group of multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria that cause infections among immunocompromised hosts. Bacteremia occurs in patients who are chronically ill and is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of BCC bacteremic patients without cystic fibrosis.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective study at the National Taiwan University Hospital. Adults with BCC bacteremia from January 2015 to May 2019 were enrolled. The primary outcome was 14-day mortality. Multivariable logistic regression was performed for outcome analysis.
    Results: One-hundred and ninety-five patients were analyzed and their mean age was 67 years. Over 95% of the BCC isolates were susceptible to trimethoprim/sulfomethoxazole (TMP/SXT). Levofloxacin resistance rates were high, with only 25.1% of isolates being susceptible. Pairwise comparisons were made between different definitive regimens including meropenem-monotherapy, ceftazidime-monotherapy, levofloxacin-monotherapy, TMP/SXT-monotherapy, tigecycline-monotherapy as well as combination versus monotherapy. No regimen was significantly associated with survival in our study. Multivariable logistic regression showed that the Pitt bacteremia score (adjust odds ratio [aOR],1.46; 95% confidence interval [CI],1.19-1.79; p < 0.001), underlying metastatic cancer (aOR, 2.73; 95% CI, 1.01-7.39; p = 0.047), inappropriate definitive treatment independently predicted greater 14-day mortality (aOR, 8.21; 95% CI, 2.49-27.08; p < 0.001).
    Conclusions: No single regimen is associated with improved mortality. After adjusting for other potential confounders, our data suggest selection of an appropriate antibiotic provide better clinical outcomes among patients with BCC bacteremia.

    Abstract Background: New tetracycline derivatives exhibit broad-spectrum antimicrobial activities. This study aimed to assess the in vitro activity of eravacycline against common Enterobacterales.
    Methods: Clinical Enterobacterales isolates were collected between 2017 and 2021. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined using a broth microdilution test.
    Results: We identified Klebsiella pneumoniae (n = 300), Escherichia coli (n = 300), Klebsiella oxytoca (n = 100), Enterobacter cloacae complex (n = 100), Citrobacter freundii (n = 100), and Proteus mirabilis (n = 100). All P. mirabilis strains were resistant to eravacycline. Excluding P. mirabilis, the susceptibility rates to eravacycline, omadacycline, and tigecycline were 75.2%, 66.9%, and 73%, respectively. The MIC
    Conclusion: This study provides the MIC and susceptibility rate of eravacycline for common Enterobacterales. Eravacycline could be a therapeutic choice for cefotaxime non-susceptible or meropenem non-susceptible Enterobacterales, especially K. oxytoca, C. freundii, and E. coli.

    Abstract Introduction: High-dose daptomycin-based combinations are recommended for vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) bloodstream infection (BSI). Preclinical data have shown a synergistic effect of daptomycin/fosfomycin combinations against VRE. However, clinical studies comparing daptomycin monotherapy with daptomycin/fosfomycin combinations are unavailable.
    Methods: An observational study of VRE-BSI was performed between 2010-2021 on patients receiving daptomycin monotherapy (≥ 8 mg/kg) or daptomycin combined with intravenous fosfomycin. Patients treated with concomitant β-lactam combinations were excluded. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Outcomes were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression and augmented inverse probability weighting (AIPW) analyses.
    Results: Among 224 patients, 176 received daptomycin monotherapy, and 48 received fosfomycin combinations. The median daptomycin and fosfomycin doses were 9.8 mg/kg and 12 g/day, respectively. In-hospital mortality was 77.3% and 47.9% in the daptomycin monotherapy and fosfomycin combination groups (P < 0.001), respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis predicted lower mortality with fosfomycin combination treatment (adjusted odds ratio, 0.35; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.17-0.73; P = 0.005). AIPW demonstrated a 17.8% reduced mortality with fosfomycin combinations (95% CI, - 30.6- - 4.9%; P = 0.007). The survival benefit was significant, especially among patients with a lower Pitt bacteremia score or fosfomycin minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ≤ 64 mg/l. Fosfomycin combination resulted in higher hypernatremia (10.4% vs. 2.8%, P = 0.04) and hypokalemia (33.3% vs. 15.3%, P = 0.009) compared to daptomycin monotherapy.
    Conclusion: The combination of high-dose daptomycin with fosfomycin improved the survival rate of patients with VRE-BSI compared to daptomycin alone. The benefit of the combination was most pronounced for VRE with fosfomycin MIC ≤ 64 mg/l and for patients with a low Pitt bacteremia score.

    Abstract Rationale: Among the nontuberculous mycobacteria, Mycobacterium abscessus is a common cause of skin, soft tissue, and bone infections. However, disseminated M. abscessus infection that mimics cancer metastasis with an underlying relatively immunocompetent condition has rarely been reported.
    Patient concerns: A nonsmoking 73-year-old man with an underlying relatively immunocompetent condition reported a 2-month history of a mass in the region of his right parotid gland that had been steadily increasing in size.
    Diagnoses: The head and neck computed tomography showed an avidly enhancing tumor with central necrosis in the right parotid region and lymphadenopathy bilaterally at neck levels II-V (<6 cm) with a necrotic core. The radiologist and otolaryngologist both suspected a diagnosis of right parotid gland cancer with metastasis.
    Interventions: The necrotic tissue was removed surgically, and Mycobacterium culture showed M. abscessus. We collected a blood sample and detected anti-interferon-γ autoantibody.
    Outcomes: After 6 months of anti-M. abscessus treatment, physical examination showed remission of the parotid tumor, and axillary and supraclavicular lymphadenopathy.
    Lessons: We report a case of disseminated M. abscessus infection, which involved parotid glands with multiple lymphadenopathies in a person with an underlying relatively immunocompetent condition. Possible underlying mechanisms such as anti-interferon-γ autoantibody-associated immunodeficiency should be considered in a patient with disseminated M. abscessus infection without a known immunocompromised condition.

    Abstract Objectives: We analyzed the risk factors affecting linezolid treatment outcome in vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) bloodstream infection (BSI).
    Methods: We conducted a multicenter observational study of patients who received linezolid 600 mg every 12 hours for VRE BSI. The primary outcome was 28-day mortality. The estimated area under the concentration-time curve and trough concentration were calculated. Multivariable logistic regression was used for the outcome analysis.
    Results: A total of 170 patients were included: 114 (67.1%) survived and 56 (32.9%) did not. A total of 26 (18.2%) isolates showed a linezolid minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of ≤1 mg/l, 113 (79.0%) of 2 mg/l, and 4 (2.8%) of 4 mg/l. The univariable analysis showed that the linezolid MIC and concentration-time curve/MIC were not associated with mortality (P = 0.95 and P = 0.42, respectively). After adjusting for underlying comorbidity and disease severity, the linezolid dose per body weight (LDBW), body height, and interaction between them were independent risks for mortality. Marginal analysis showed that increasing the LDBW was protective in patients with a body height <160 cm. A trough concentration of >12.2 mg/l was a risk factor for thrombocytopenia.
    Conclusion: The LDBW and body height were interactively associated with clinical outcomes of linezolid treatment for VRE BSI.

    Abstract Background: In Taiwan, carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) now became a leading cause of difficult-to-treat healthcare-associated infection, for which there are a lack of recent hospital epidemiological studies on risk factors, mortality, and antimicrobial susceptibility.
    Methods: We prospectively enrolled patients with healthcare-associated CRKP monomicrobial bloodstream infection (mBSI) and matched patients with carbapenem susceptible K. pneumoniae (CSKP) mBSI at National Taiwan University Hospital (Taipei, Taiwan) from October 2017 through December 2019 in a 1:2 ratio. Multivariable logistic regression and Kaplan-Meier analyses were applied to identify factors associated with CRKP mBSI and to compare the 14-day survival curves, respectively. We detected the presence of bla
    Results: A total of 36 CRKP cases and 72 CSKP controls were enrolled. Patients with CRKP mBSI were more likely to have liver cirrhosis (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 5.61; P = 0.024), length of hospital stay over the previous 14 days (aOR, 1.23; P = 0.001) and prior use of carbapenems in the previous 14 days (aOR, 6.07; P = 0.004) than patients with CSKP mBSI. The 14-day survival was significantly worse for patients with CRKP mBSI than those with CSKP mBSI (all CRKP cases: 50.0% vs. 87.5%; P < 0.001; CRKP cases treated with colistin as an appropriate backbone antibiotic: 58.3% vs. 87.5%; P = 0.007). Compared with the CSKP isolates, CRKP isolates were significantly less susceptible to colistin, amikacin, and tigecycline. Of the 36 CRKP isolates, none harbor bla
    Conclusion: Prior exposure to carbapenems, longer hospital stay, and the presence of liver cirrhosis predicted CRKP instead of CSKP mBSI. Even with colistin therapy, CRKP mBSIs was still associated with a very high risk of mortality within 14 days. Ceftazidime/avibactam is a potentially useful therapeutic choice for cases caused by in vitro susceptible CRKP strains.

    Abstract Purpose: In this study, we evaluated the minocycline susceptibility rate in carbapenem-resistant
    Patients and methods: A total of 100 genetically unrelated CRAB clinical strains from bloodstream infection were randomly collected from a medical center in Taiwan. An argument for a new minocycline susceptibility breakpoint of 1 mg/L was suggested based on pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) studies. Strains with minocycline minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of >1 mg/L were classified as PK-PD non-susceptible.
    Results: Fifty-five (55%) CRAB strains were susceptible to minocycline according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) criteria, among which 98.2% (54/55) were PK-PD non-susceptible. The minocycline MIC
