Control of infectious diseases
• Sanitation and Hygiene
• Vaccination
• Antibiotics
So What Happened?
Attitudinal
Antibiotics: the epitome of a
wonder drug
The introduction of antibiotics in the
1940s converted illness into a strictly
technical problem:
•
"virtual elimination of infectious disease as
a significant factor in social life."

– Pseudomonas/Acinetobacter
– N. gonorrheae
• Gram positives
– MRSA
– Pneumococcus

Enterobacteriaceae
• The rapid and disturbing spread of:
– extended-spectrum ß-lactamases
– AmpC enzymes
– carbapenem resistance
• metallo-β-lactamases
• KPC and OXA-48 β-lactamases
– quinolone resistance

• β-lactamases capable of conferring bacterial
resistance to
–
–
–
–
the penicillins
first-, second-, and third-generation cephalosporins
aztreonam
(but not the cephamycins or carbapenems)
• These enzymes are derived from group 2b βlactamases (TEM-1, TEM-2, and SHV-1)
– differ from their progenitors by as few as one AA

CTX-M-type ESBLs
• Until 2000, most ESBL producers were hospital
Klebsiella spp. with TEM and SHV mutant β-lactamases
• Now, the dominant ESBLs across most of Europe and
Asia are CTX-M enzymes, which originated as genetic
escapes from Kluyvera spp
• Currently recognized as the most widespread and
threatening mechanism of antibiotic resistance, both in
clinical and community settings
– 80% of ESBL-positive E. coli from bacteraemias in the UK and
Ireland are resistant to fluoroquinolones
– 40% are resistant to gentamicin
Livermore, DM J. Antimicrob. Chemother 2009
Carbapenemases
• Ability to hydrolyze penicillins, cephalosporins,
monobactams, and carbapenems
• Resilient against inhibition by all commercially viable
ß-lactamase inhibitors
– Subgroup 2df: OXA (23 and 48) carbapenemases
– Subgroup 2f : serine carbapenemases from molecular
class A: GES and KPC
– Subgroup 3b contains a smaller group of MBLs that
preferentially hydrolyze carbapenems
• IMP and VIM enzymes that have appeared globally, most
frequently in non-fermentative bacteria but also in
Enterobacteriaceae
KPC (K. pneumoniae carbapenemase)
• KPCs are the most prevalent of this group of
enzymes, found mostly on transferable
plasmids in K. pneumoniae
• Substrate hydrolysis spectrum includes
cephalosporins and carbapenems

Nordmann P et al. LID 2009

Bush K and Jacboy G AAC 2010
AmpC β-lactamases
• Once expressed at high levels, confer resistance
to many β-lactam antimicrobials (excluding
cefepime and carbapenems)
• In E. coli, constitutive over expression of AmpC
β-lactamases can occur because
– of mutations in the promoter and/or attenuator region
(AmpC hyperproducers)
– the acquisition of a transferable ampC gene on a
plasmid or other transferable elements (plasmidmediated AmpC β-lactamases)

Neisseria gonorrhoeae
Wang SA et al. Ann Int Med 2008
Prevalence of and risk factors for quinoloneresistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection in Ontario
Oto KV et al. CMAJ 2009
Treatment of N. gonorrhoeae
• Only current CDC-recommended options for
treating N. gonorrhoeae infections are from a
single class of antibiotics, the cephalosporins.
– Ceftriaxone, available only as an injection, is the
recommended treatment for all types of gonorrhea
infections (i.e., urogenital, rectal, and pharyngeal).
– Cefixime is the only oral agent recommended for
treatment of uncomplicated urogenital or rectal
gonorrhea
Reduced susceptibility to cefixime being described in
Japan and other countries
The Gram Positives
• Staphylococcus aureus
– MRSA
– Reduced-vancomycin susceptibility MRSA
• MDR Streptococcus pneumoniae

MRSA Infections Among Patients
In The Emergency Department
• Adult patients with acute, purulent skin and softtissue infections presenting to 11 Universityaffiliated EDs during August 2004
• S. aureus was isolated from 320/422 patients
• 59% overall were MRSA (15% to 74%)
• 97% of MRSA were USA300
– 74% were a single strain (USA300-0114)
• 98% of MRSA had SCCmec type IV and the
PVL toxin gene
