Community-Acquired Pyelonephritis in Pregnancy Caused by KPC-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae

Abstract: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) usually infect patients with significant comorbidities and health care exposures. We present a case of a pregnant woman who developed community-acquired pyelonephritis caused by KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae. Despite antibiotic treatment, she experienced spontaneous prolonged rupture of membranes, with eventual delivery of a healthy infant. This report demonstrates the challenge that CRE may pose to the effective treatment of common infections in obstetric pa… Show more

“…For now, infections caused by CPE in the US are generally healthcare-associated, although community-associated infections are beginning to emerge. 3,4 The threat of CPE is substantial as carbapenems have traditionally been used in the treatment of infections caused by extended-spectrum b-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E), and are still considered a last-line of defense against Enterobacteriaceae to date. Few antibiotics retain activity against CPE due to the ability of carbapenemases to hydrolyze most other b-lactam antibiotics as well as the frequent coexistence in CPE isolates of additional mechanisms of resistance against other antibiotic classes such as fluoroquinolones and aminoglycosides.…”

“…Apesar da diminuição da evolução da resistência para a Cefalosporina de 1ª Geração (p = 0,0188) em E. coli, a resistência é elevada, o que limita o uso no tratamento empírico de ITU, devendo o mesmo ser utilizado após a avaliação da resistência in vitro. 17 Em relação aos casos de ITU causados por K. pneumoniae, o aumento na evolução da resistência para Cefalosporina de 1ª geração sugere a possível presença de genes para a produção de Beta-Lactamases, enquanto que para Cefalosporina de 2ª geração diminuiu, contrário ao que foi descrito em outro estudo. 18 de origem comunitária.…”
