Abstract

BackgroundSeveral studies have documented factors predictive of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in invasive pneumococcal disease(IPD). However, the implementation of routine pediatric PCV programs, antimicrobial stewardship, and increasing immunocompromised in populating might be expected to change such factors. We report on predictive factors for AMR in IPD from 2012 to 2017.MethodsTIBDN performs population-based surveillance for IPD in Toronto/Peel (pop 4.5M). IPD cases are reported to a central office and one isolate/case is serotyped and has antimicrobial susceptibility testing performed by broth microdilution to CLSI standards.Results2459 cases of IPD were identified from January 2012 to December 2017. Overall rates of resistance to penicillin, macrolides, fluoroquinolones, and TMP-SMX were relatively stable over the course were stable over the study. Risk factors for infection with resistant to penicillin at meningitis breakpoints as opposed to penicillin- susceptible pneumococci were current residence at nursing home (odds ratio [OR], 2.30; P < 0.001), immune compromised status (OR, 1.41; P = 0.012), HIV infection (OR 2.13, P = 0.016), history of receiving PPV23 vaccine (OR 1.38; P = 0.007). Infection with TMP-SMX-resistant pneumococci was associated with HIV infection (OR, 3.2; P = 0.001) and current residence in a nursing home (OR 2.4, P = 0.002). Infection with macrolide-resistant isolates was associated with any use of macrolide 3 months prior to infection (OR, 3.24; P < 0.001), or macrolide treatment failure of the current episode (OR, 6.64; P = 0.003). Infection with levofloxacin-resistant pneumococci was associated with current residence in a nursing home (OR, 13.7; P < .001), and fluorquinolone treatment failure of the current episode (OR 49.4, P = 0.0034).ConclusionPrevious same class antibiotic exposure remains a major predictive factor for macrolide resistance. History of treatment failure is a predictive factor for macrolide and fluoroquinolone failure. HIV infection and immune compromise are risk factors for IPD infection with penicillin resistant pneumococci. Hospital acquisition of infection is no longer a risk factor for fluoroquinolone resistance.Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.
