  2. Comments / remedial action • Introduction and background • Present status -International, national, local scenario • Need and relevance of the work • Aim, Objectives • Methodology: Sample size, inclusion & exclusion criteria • Results and conclusions • Proposed work for next 6 months & timeline • References

  3. INTRODUCTION: • P. aeruginosa : opportunistic invader, major nosocomial pathogen : in immuno-compromised, immune-deficient or surgically manipulated hosts • Infections caused: • LRTI (including VAP) • Wound infections • UTIs • BSIs & device associated infections • MULTIDRUG RESISTANCE : accelerating problem worldwide, difficult target for antibiotic therapy

  4. INTRINSIC RESISTANCE: Constitutive expression of efflux pumps & low permeability of the OM • EXTRINSIC RESISTANCE: Acquisition of plasmid mediated resistance genes (β-lactamases) • QUORUM SENSING: population density based, cell to cell communication system controlling growth regulation, expression of virulence factors & antibiotic resistance • BIOFILMS: survival advantage & protection from host immune system and antimicrobial agents

  5. Β-LACTAM RESISTANCE: • Chromosomally encoded Amp C β–lactamases • Plasmid mediated ESBLs • EFFLUX PUMPS: β–lactams and fluroquinolones. • MBL producing P.aeruginosa : often associated with outbreaks of nosocomial infections (septicemia, VAP) : carbapenem therapeutic failure

  6. Need for the study based on literature review • Antibiotic resistance was believed to come at the cost of bacterial fitness and reduced virulence. • Research by Skurniket al. challenges the common concept that resistant bacteria are less fit(Skurnik D, et al. (2013) Enhanced in vivo fitness of carbapenem resistant oprD mutants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa revealed through high-throughput sequencing. Proc NatlAcadSci USA 110:20747–20752.) • Tested this assumption in cystic fibrosis patients who are persistently colonized with antibiotic-resistant PA. Enhanced fitness is due to lack of Opr D and this is associated with acquisition of carbapenem resistance

  7. This conferred carbapenem resistance + enhanced serum bactericidal resistance with increased cyto-toxicity. • Thus, if carbapenem resistance develops during antibiotic therapy of P. aeruginosa infections, it may lead to enhanced fitness and virulence in infected hosts • FIT AND RESISTANT is a worst case scenario with bacterial pathogens.(Filloux A. PNAS 2013; vol. 110: 2036)

  8. Review of literature-  International scenario: • Paucity of literature comparing virulence factors among antibiotic sensitive and MDR P.aeruginosa. • Shalyet al demonstrated: ESBL producing K. pneumoniaeare more invasive: greater serum bactericidal resistance , cell invasion & fimbrialadhesins. • Brazilian study of 84 CAZ resistant P.aeruginosa, 37% and 4% were found to produce MBL and ESBL respectively. • NEJM Dec 11 2013: ‘Antibiotic-Resistant P.aeruginosa Can Become More Virulent’ by Richard T Ellison

  9. National scenario: • No study from India comparing the virulence factors among the antibiotic sensitive and resistant isolates of P. aeruginosa • 2011 De AS et al reported MBL production among 33% of P. aeruginosa isolated from blood and endotracheal secretions of patients in ICUs of a tertiary care hospital.

  10. Infections by MDR ESBL & MBL producing PA: often associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Not yet clear from literature if this high mortality can be related to increased virulence of these antibiotic resistant strains. • This study aims to identify and compare the possible correlation between virulence and antibiotic resistance among clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa • This could help decide the significance and treatment modality for MDR P. aeruginosa

  11. Working hypothesis: MDR clinical isolates of PA are more virulent than antibiotic sensitive isolates, giving the former better survival advantage and increased potency to cause invasive infections. Aim of the study:To compare and correlate the expression of virulence factors among antibiotic sensitive and MDR clinical isolates of P.aeruginosa. Objectives of the study: • To isolate, identify and study the antibiogram of P.aeruginosa isolatedfrom clinical samples. • To phenotypically detect ESBL, MBL and Amp C β-lactamaseproduction among cephalosporin resistant isolates

  12. Objectives……….. • To identify production virulence factors: serum bactericidal resistance, mannose sensitive and resistant pili, swimming and twitching motility, haemolysin, phospholipase C, elastase and slime production. • Compare & correlate virulence factor production among antibiotic sensitive and MDR isolates • To identify presence of IMP and VIM MBL genes among MDR isolates • To study the in-vitro effect of antibiotic combinations against MDR P.aeruginosa

  13. Materials: • Sample Source: PA isolated from clinical samples received at Microbiology laboratory YMCH from Jan 2013- Jan 2016. Sample size: Three groups of samples:

  14. Inclusion criteria: • Only one strain of P.aeruginosa per patient included Exclusion criteria: • PA isolated from urine with a colony count of <105 CFU/ml. • PAisolated from pus, without pus cells in direct gram stained smear. • PAisolated from a single blood culture when there is no clinical correlation

  15. Methods: • Collection, processing of clinical samples and identification of PA using standard tests • Susceptibility to CAZ, CPZ, aztreonam, gentamicin, amikacin, tobramycin, ciprofloxacin, netilmicin, piperacillin, pip-tazo, CPZ- sulbac, ticarcillin, imipenem, meropenem and colistin: tested & interpreted by disc diffusion method: CLSI 2013 • P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 - quality control • For long term use bacteria stored at -700C in trypticase soy glycerol broth

  16. Test for ESBL production: CLSI phenotypic disc confirmatory test. K. pneumoniae ATCC 700603 control strain for ESBL detection • Test for inducible Amp C β-lactamase production: • Disc antagonism test (DAT): inducing agent cefoxitin disc placed adjacent to cephalosporin discs. Blunting of the cephalosporin zone adjacent to the cefoxtin disc is suggestive of AmpC β-lactamase production. • Inhibitor based Amp C detection test: using 30 μg of cefoxitin disc with 400 μg boronic acid disc

  17. TEST FOR MBL DETECTION: Imepenem-EDTA DDST by Yong D et al. • MBL GENE IDENTIFICATION: Identification of IMP & VIM genes among carbapenem resistant PA isolates by real time PCR • Virulence factor production in antibiotic sensitive isolates will be compared and correlated with virulence factor production of MDR P.aeruginosa • P. aeruginosa C-10 (VIM-2) and C-7 (IMP-7) sourced from Calgary laboratory Canada used as positive control strains for MBL production

  18. Production of the following virulence factors: • Serum bactericidal assay: According to R Podschunet al. • Hemagglutination assay: Detected by clumping of erythrocytes by fimbriae of bacteria in presence of D-mannose, (modified Siegfredet al procedure) • Haemolysin production: detected using 5% sheep blood agar. • Phopholipase C activity: Method of Haberman and Hardtusing egg-yolk agar

  19. Swimming motility:as described by Rashid & Kornberg • Twitching motility:as described by Rashid & Kornberg • Slime/alginate production:using micro-titre plate adherence method • Statistical analysis of data: Expression of virulence factors in antibiotic sensitive & resistant isolates will be compared by chi-square test using SPSS software 17.0 version • Correlation of virulence factors with the antibiotic phenotype will be tested using independent sample t-test, where p<0.05 will be considered statistically significant.

  33. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) testing: MICs of CAZ, AMK, IMP, CIPRO were tested for 20 MDR isolates by broth micro-dilution method according to CLSI guidelines 2013 Table 10:Solvents and diluents used for the antibiotics Table 11: MIC ranges, MIC50 & MIC90 values of MDR P.aeruginosa:

  34. COMBINATION ANTIBIOTIC TESTING: Antibiotic combinations tested in-vitro against MDR PA: CAZ-AMK, CAZ-CIPRO, IMP-AMK, IMP-CIPRO by checker- board assay. Calculation and interpretation of FIC: • The FICs were calculated as follows: Σ FIC = FIC A + FIC B • FIC A : MIC of drug A in combination/MIC of drug A alone • FIC B : MIC of drug B in combination/MIC of drug B alone. • The combination is considered Synergistic -Σ FIC is ≤0.5, Indifferent: Σ FIC is >0.5 to <2 Antagonistic : Σ FIC is ≥2.
