1 Symposium: Acinetobacter Infections from East to West Molecular Epidemiology Worldwide Harald Seifert Institut für Medizinische Mikrobiologie, Immunologie und Hygiene der Universität zu Köln 26 th ECCMID, Amsterdam, 9-12 April 2016

2 Twenty-three soldiers wounded in Iraq and subsequently admitted to Brooke Army Medical Center, San Antonio, Texas from March 2003 to May 2004 had wound cultures positive for Acinetobacter baumannii. Eighteen had osteomyelitis, 2 burn infection, and 3 deep wound infection. All isolates were MDR, 4 were resistant to imipenem. Davis KA et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2005; 11:

6 Genus Acinetobacter : Current Taxonomy ~57 named and 5 unnamed species A. baumannii A. pittii (DNA group 3) A. calcoaceticus A. seifertii ( Close to DNA group 13TU ) A. haemolyticus A. bereziniae (DNA group 10) A. baumannii group* A. johnsonii A. guillouiae (DNA group 11) A. junii A. nosocomialis (DNA group 13TU) A. lwoffii DNA group 13 BJ/14 TU A. parvus A. courvalinii (DNA group 14 BJ) A. radioresistens A. variabilis (DNA group 15 TU) A. schindleri DNA group 16 A. ursingii A. dispersus (DNA group 17) *Peleg et al., CMR, 2008

7 Identification of Acinetobacter spp. in the routine diagnostic laboratory Scheme of ~28 physiological and biochemical tests Bouvet & Grimont (1986), Gerner-Smidt et al. (1990) Not suitable for routine microbiological diagnostics Manual commercial ID systems (Api 20NE etc..) Completely unreliable Automated commercial identification systems (VITEK ) Not very reliable, but improving Molecular reference methods (rpob, gyrb, Oxa-51) Not suitable for routine microbiological diagnostics MALDI-TOF Very promising, even within the A. baumannii group

8 Microbiology/Taxonomy of Acinetobacter (Molecular) Epidemiology of A. baumannii

9 Natural habitat of Acinetobacter A. nonbaumannii: Water, soil, plants, vegetables, human skin (Baumann et al., J Bact 1968; Seifert et al. JCM, 1997; Berlau et al. JHI, 1999; Berlau et al. EJCMID, 1999; Houang et al., JCM, 2001) A. baumannii is not an ubiquitous organism A hospital-adapted pathogen The colonized patient is the reservoir In the hospital: respiratory tubing, computer keyboards, cellphones (Cefai et al., JHI 1900; Neely et al., CID 1999; Borer et al., EID 2005) Natural habitat remains to be defined (although found in body lice, pets, domestic animals, meat, and birds droplings) (La Scola, EID 2004; Belmonte, Vet Microbiol 2014; Rafei, AEM 2015; Wilharm, unpublished)

12 A. baumannii infection requires 1. a susceptible patient 2. presence of the organism (endemic or epidemic)

14 Transmission of A. baumannii Transmission from a common source Airborne transmission (Bernards et al., AJIC 1998) Patient-to-patient transmission Hands of hospital personnel Contamination of environmental surfaces Contamination of medical equipment Colonized patient is the primary reservoir

15 Outbreak of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii carrying OXA-23 in a German university medical centre 61-year-old patient transferred from Thailand motor vehicle accident multiple During trauma the following 9 months 32 patients were found admission colonized/infected with soft-tissue with epidemic MDR A. baumannii infection and osteomyelitis to a surgical ward wound culture (02 06): Kohlenberg et al.

Next generation sequencing (NGS WGS)

18 Acinetobacter baumannii infections The European (EU) Clones There was published evidence that three pan-european A. baumannii clones (lineages) are spreading in Europe (Dijkshoorn et al., JCM 1996; Nemec et al., JMM 2004; Turton et al., CMI 2007)

20 Acinetobacter baumannii infections The European (EU) Clones There is evidence that three pan-european A. baumannii clones (lineages) are spreading in Europe (Dijkshoorn et al., JCM 1996; Nemec et al., JMM 2004; Turton et al., CMI 2007) Unlike with MRSA, there was no estimate of the true contribution of the various EU clones to the global epidemiology of A. baumannii

21 Global Spread of Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAb) Methods 492 carbapenem-non susceptible (MIC > 8 mg/l) A. baumannii isolates from a world-wide surveillance study (Tigecycline Evaluation and Surveillance Trial (T.E.S.T.), ) were typed by rep-pcr (DiversiLab) to assess clonal relatedness. Results The vast majority of isolates (91%) were grouped into 8 distinct clusters (WW1 WW8) including European clones EU I, II and III. Higgins P et al. JAC 2010; 65:

30 Randomized, open label, multicenter, non-inferiority phase IV clinical trial to compare safety and efficacy of colistin vs. meropenem in ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Patients were randomized to receive colistin 3 MU iv. / 8 h or meropenem 1 g iv / 8 h. Each group will receive levofloxacin 500 mg iv/12 h in addition to the treatment. At study close on October 13, 2015, 232 patients were enrolled in 35 centers in Greece, Italy and Spain (Principal Investigator: JM Cisneros, Sevilla, Spain).

31 Background: Whole genome sequencing (WGS) will revolutionise bacterial strain typing but data analysis is still a challenge. Methods: WGS was employed to define and evaluate a core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgmlst) scheme for A. baumannii using Ridom SeqSphere+ software. Using genomes from NCBI as well as representative isolates belonging to the 8 previously described A. baumannii ICs, a core genome of 2,390 alleles was defined. This was then employed against a total of 56 A. baumannii isolates, previously typed by PFGE and linked to hospital outbreaks. Results: Good correlation between PFGE and cgmlst clustering was found, with 0-8 allelic differences within a pulsotype, and 40-2,166 differences between pulsotypes. The highest number of allelic differences was between the isolates representing different ICs. Higgins PG, Prior K, Harmsen D, Seifert H.

33 We are witnessing the continuing spread of carbapenem resistant A. baumannii This spread is caused by a few successful clonal lineages International clonal lineage 2 (IC2) is the most prevalent worldwide and obviously still increasing reppcr is a robust typing method that correlates well with MLST Conclusions cgmlst is a promising molecular typing method
