Background
Microbiology
- Oxidase positive, non-fermenting Gram-negative bacillus
Mechanisms of Resistance
- Broad intrinsic and acquired antibiotic resistance1
- Membrane impermeability
- Decreased or absent OprD porin: resistance to carbapenems (imipenem and meropenem)
- Membrane changes: resistance to polymixins (colistin)
- Reduced aminoglycoside transport: resistance to aminoglycosides
- Efflux pumps
- MexAB-OprM: resistance to fluoroquinolones and all β-lactams except imipenem
- MexCD-OprJ: resistance to fluoroquinolones and most β-lactams (cefoperazone, cefpirome, cefepime, meropenem) but not imipenem
- MexEF-OprN: resistance to fluoroquinolones and all β-lactams
- MexXY-OprM: resistance to fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines including tigecycline, most β-lactams (but not imipenem or ceftazidime), and aminoglycosides
- β-lactamases
- Derepressed AmpC β-lactamase: resistance to penicillins and cephalosporins (except ceftolozane)
- Acquired carbapenemases such as NDM-1: resistance to essentially all β-lactams
- Aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes: resistance to aminoglycosides
- Target site mutations
- Topoisomerase II (gyrA) or IV (parC) point mutations: resistance to fluoroquinolones
Epidemiology
- Loves moist and wet environments
- Causes healthcare-associated infections
- UTI, SSI, bacteremia, HAP, VAP
- Especially common in cystic fibrosis
Treatment
- Refer to antipseudomonal antibiotics for specific treatment options
- Preferred: piperacillin-tazobactam, ceftazidime, cefepime, aztreonam
- If resistant to carbapenems but susceptible to other β-lactams (most commonly caused by decreased OprD), use an extended infusion
- Alternatives: meropenem or imipenem
- Double coverage (ß-lactam + non-ß-lactam) in cases of severe infection in order to ensure activity against the infection
Multidrug-Resistant Isolates
- MDR-PA is defined as non-susceptibility to at least 1 antibiotic in at least 3 antibiotic classes (penicillins, cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, and carbapanems)
- Results from decreased OprD, AmpC hyperproduction, upregulation of efflux pumps, and PBP target mutations
- Carbapenemase production is uncommon but increasing
- Difficult-to-treat Pseudomonas aeruginosa is defined as non-susceptibility to all of: piperacillin-tazobactam, ceftazidime, cefepime, aztreonam, meropenem, imipenem-cilastatin, ciprofloxacin, and levofloxacin
- Consider any of the following options:
- Amikacin 20 mg/kg IV once, followed by dosing per levels (see Aminoglycosides)
- Cefiderocol 2 g IV 18h infused over 3 hours
- Ceftazidime-avibactam 2.5 g IV q8h infused over 3 hours
- Ceftolozane-tazobactam 3 g IV q8h infused over 3 hours
- Colistin
- Gentamicin 7 mg/kg IV once followed by dosing per levels (see Aminoglycosides)
- Imipenem-relebactam 1.25 g IV q6h infused over 30 minutes
- Plazomicin 15 mg/kg IV once followed by dosing per levels (see Aminoglycosides)
- Polymixin B
- Tobramycin 7 mg/kg IV once followed by dosing per levels (see Aminoglycosides)
- Preference for ceftolozane-tazobactam, ceftazidime-avibactam, and imipenem-relebactam, as well as cefiderocol if UTI
