    Abstract Background: In recent years, Acinetobacter baumannii-calcoaceticus complex (ABC) infections have attracted attention, mainly because of the impact of carbapenem-resistant isolates in hospital-acquired infections. However, acute community-acquired ABC infections are not uncommon in warm and humid countries, where they are responsible for community-acquired infections with specific clinical features. To date, such infection has not been reported in France.
    Case presentation: We report the case of a 55-year-old non-immunocompromised patient living in France with no known risk factors for community-acquired ABC infections who presented pneumonia with bloodstream infection due to wild-type A. pittii. The outcome was favorable after 7 days of antibiotic treatment with cefepime. We confirmed bacterial identification with whole-genome sequencing, and we examined the A. pitii core-genome phylogeny for genomic clusters.
    Conclusions: This situation is uncommon in Europe and occurred after a heat wave in France with temperatures above 38 °C. Herein, we discuss the possibility that this pneumonia may be emerging in the current context of global warming.

    Abstract Objectives: EUCAST changed the definition of the 'intermediate' (I) category in 2019, now defined as 'susceptible, increased exposure'. This new definition could lead to an increased prescription of antibiotics still reported as 'S', compared with those now reported as 'I'. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of this definition on the use of overly broad-spectrum antibiotics for the treatment of infections caused by WT
    Methods: A retrospective observational multicentre study was conducted, involving five hospitals. Two 15 month study periods were defined, before and after the implementation of the new definition. All patients with an infection caused by WT
    Results: Two hundred and ninety-one patients were included. No difference between groups was found, in terms of infection, microbiology or demographic characteristics. Two overly broad-spectrum antibiotic treatments by meropenem or ceftolozane/tazobactam were observed in Period 1 (1.2%), versus 13 in Period 2 (10.8%;
    Conclusions: This new definition can cause a negative impact on the use of overly broad-spectrum antibiotic treatment due to misunderstanding by clinicians. Its successful implementation requires adaptation of software for reporting antibiotic susceptibility, a sustained strong information campaign by microbiologists and support by an antimicrobial stewardship team.

    Abstract Background: The new definitions of antimicrobial susceptibility categories proposed by EUCAST in 2020 require the definition of standard and high dosages of antibiotic. For injectable β-lactams, standard and high dosages have been proposed for short-infusion regimens only.
    Objectives: To evaluate dosages for β-lactams administered by prolonged infusion (PI) and continuous infusion (CI).
    Methods: Monte Carlo simulations were performed for seven injectable β-lactams: aztreonam, cefepime, cefotaxime, cefoxitin, ceftazidime, piperacillin and temocillin. Various dosage regimens based on short infusion, PI or CI were simulated in virtual patients. Pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles and PTAs were obtained based on reference population PK models, as well as PK/pharmacodynamic targets and MIC breakpoints proposed by EUCAST. Alternative dosage regimens associated with PTA values similar to those of recommended dosages up to the breakpoints were considered acceptable.
    Results: Adequate PTAs were confirmed for most EUCAST short-infusion dosage regimens. A total of 9 standard and 14 high dosages based on PI (3 to 4 h) or CI were identified as alternatives. For cefepime and aztreonam, only PI and CI regimens could achieve acceptable PTAs for infections caused by Pseudomonas spp.: 2 g q8h as PI of 4 h or 6 g/24 h CI for cefepime; 2 g q6h as PI of 3 h or 6 g/24 h CI for aztreonam.
    Conclusions: These alternative standard and high dosage regimens are expected to provide antibiotic exposure compatible with new EUCAST definitions of susceptibility categories and associated MIC breakpoints. However, further clinical evaluation is necessary.

    Abstract Objectives: Data on the efficacy of vancomycin catheter lock therapy (VLT) for conservative treatment of totally implantable venous access port-related infections (TIVAP-RI) due to CoNS are scarce. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of VLT in the treatment of TIVAP-RI due to CoNS in cancer patients.
    Methods: This prospective, observational, multicentre study included adults with cancer treated with VLT for a TIVAP-RI due to CoNS. The primary endpoint was the success of VLT, defined as no TIVAP removal nor TIVAP-RI recurrence within 3 months after initiation of VLT. The secondary endpoint was 3 month mortality. Risk factors for VLT failure were also analysed.
    Results: One hundred patients were included [men 53%, median age 63 years (IQR 53-72)]. Median duration of VLT was 12 days (IQR 9-14). Systemic antibiotic therapy was administered in 87 patients. VLT was successful in 44 patients. TIVAP could be reused after VLT in 51 patients. Recurrence of infection after completion of VLT occurred in 33 patients, among which TIVAP was removed in 27. Intermittent VLT (antibiotic solution left in place in the TIVAP lumen part of the time) was identified as a risk factor for TIVAP-RI recurrence. At 3 months, 26 deaths were reported; 1 (4%) was related to TIVAP-RI.
    Conclusions: At 3 months, success of VLT for TIVAP-RI due to CoNS was low. However, removing TIVAP was avoided in nearly half the patients. Continuous locks should be preferred to intermittent locks. Identifying factors of success is essential to select patients who may benefit from VLT.

    Abstract To assess the need for prolonged incubation of blood culture bottles beyond five days for the diagnosis of infectious endocarditis (IE), we conducted a retrospective cohort study of 6109 sets of two blood culture bottles involving 1211 patients admitted to the Henri Mondor University Hospital for suspicion of IE between 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2019. Among the 322 patients with IE, 194 had positive blood cultures in our centre. Only one patient with a time-to-positivity blood culture of more than 120 h (5 days) was found. The main cause for the 22 patients with positive blood cultures after five days was contamination with

    Abstract Necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs) are rare life-threatening bacterial infections characterized by an extensive necrosis of skin and subcutaneous tissues. Initial urgent management of NSTIs relies on broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy, rapid surgical debridement of all infected tissues and, when present, treatment of associated organ failures in the intensive care unit. Antibiotic therapy for NSTI patients faces several challenges and should (1) carry broad-spectrum activity against gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens because of frequent polymicrobial infections, considering extended coverage for multidrug resistance in selected cases. In practice, a broad-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic (e.g., piperacillin-tazobactam) is the mainstay of empirical therapy; (2) decrease toxin production, typically using a clindamycin combination, mainly in proven or suspected group A streptococcus infections; and (3) achieve the best possible tissue diffusion with regards to impaired regional perfusion, tissue necrosis, and pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic alterations. The best duration of antibiotic treatment has not been well established and is generally comprised between 7 and 15 days. This article reviews the currently available knowledge regarding antibiotic use in NSTIs.
