Trends in Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) Producing Enterobacteriaceae and ESBL Genes in a Dutch Teaching Hospital, Measured in 5 Yearly Point Prevalence Surveys (2010-2014)

Abstract: This paper describes the trends in prevalence of ESBL producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) and ESBL genes, measured in five consecutive yearly Point Prevalence Surveys (PPS). All patients present in the hospital and in a day-care clinic (including patients on dialysis) on the day of the survey, were screened for perianal ESBL-E carriage. Perianal swabs were taken and cultured using an enrichment broth and a selective agar plate. Both phenotypic and genotypic methods were used to detect the production of ESBL,… Show more

“…Around these 35 index patients, 69 contact patients were sampled, accounting for a total of 178 contact days. Although no nosocomial transmission had occurred, five contact patients were HR-GNR positive (7.2%) and four of these were ESBL E. coli positive (5.8%), which corresponds with earlier reported prevalence rates in Dutch hospitals [6, 27]. As expected, ESBL positive patients were found most frequently among all HR-GNR positive patients (68.6%) and index patients (68.6%).…”

“…In recent years, as well as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (PRSP) [1], various drug-resistant bacteria have emerged, such as vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) [2], extended-spectrum blactamase (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae [3], metallo-b-lactamase (MBL) producing Gram-negative bacilli [4], carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) [5], and multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter spp. (MDRA) or Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDRP) [6,7].…”

“…4 ESBLs are inhibited by clavulanic acid and have been closely associated with resistance to other classes of antibacterials. 5 Such organisms producing these enzymes become multi-drug resistant leading to limited therapeutic options for infections.…”
