835. Comparison of the outcomes of patients with KPC and NDM-1-producing Enterobacteriaceae

Abstract

BackgroundCarbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae infections are associated with high mortality. We aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Enterobacteriaceae and those with New-Delhi-Metallo-beta-lactamase-1 (NDM-1)-producing Enterobacteriaceae.MethodsWe performed a retrospective cohort study of all adult patients (> 16 years old) with KPC or NDM-1-producing Enterobacteriaceae isolates in a 2,700-bed tertiary referral hospital in Seoul, South Korea between 2010 and 2019. Primary outcomes were infection within 30 days and 30-day mortality after the first isolation of KPC or NDM-1-producing Enterobacteriaceae.ResultsA total of 859 patients were identified during the study period. Of them, 475 (55%) were KPC group and 384 (45%) were NDM-1 group. KPC group tended to develop infection within 30 days after first isolation more frequently than NDM-1 group (31% vs. 26%; P = 0.07). Thirty-day mortality was significantly higher in KPC group compared to NDM-1 group (KPC, 17% (81/475) versus NDM-1, 9% (33/384), P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that APACHE II score (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.12; P < 0.001), solid cancer (aOR, 2.56; P < 0.001), previous carbapenem therapy (aOR, 1.93; P = 0.004), development of infection of KPC or NDM-1-producing Enterobacteriaceae within 30 days (aOR, 2.63; P < 0.001), and KPC-producing Enterobacteriaceae (aOR, 1.62; P = 0.045) were independent risk factors for 30-day mortality.Table 1.

ConclusionOur study suggests that KPC-producing Enterobacteriaceae is associated with poorer outcome compared to NDM-1-producing Enterobacteriaceae. Therefore, patients with KPC-producing Enterobacteriaceae colonization should be monitored carefully for development of infection, and appropriate antibiotics should be initiated as soon as possible.Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures
