    الوصف: Background/Objective: The frequencies of non-susceptibility against common antibiotics among pneumococci vary greatly across the globe. When compared to other European countries antibiotic resistance against penicillin and macrolides has been uncommon in Sweden in recent years. Multidrug resistance (MDR) is, however, of high importance since relevant treatment options are scarce. The purpose of this study was to characterize the molecular epidemiology, presence of resistance genes and selected virulence genes of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) (n=15) and MDR (n=10) Streptococcus pneumoniae detected in clinical respiratory tract samples isolated from patients in a southern Swedish county 2016-2018. With the aim of relating them to global MDR pneumococci.Methods: Whole genome sequencing (WGS) was performed to determine molecular epidemiology, resistance genes and presence of selected virulence factors. Antimicrobial susceptibility profiles were determined using broth microdilution testing. Further analyses were performed on isolates from the study and from the European nucleotide archive belonging to global pneumococcal sequence cluster (GPSC) 1 (n=86), GPSC9 (n=55) and GPSC10 (n=57). Bacteria were analyzed regarding selected virulence determinants (pilus islet 1, pilus islet 2 and Zinc metalloproteinase C) and resistance genes.Results: Nineteen of 25 isolates were related to dominant global MDR lineages. Seventeen belonged to GPSC1, GPSC9 or GPSC10 with MDR non-PCV serotypes in GPSC9 (serotype 15A and 15C) as well as GPSC10 (serotype 7B, 15B and serogroup 24). Pilus islet-1 and pilus islet-2 were present in most sequence types belonging to GPSC1 and in two isolates within GPSC9 but were not detected in isolates belonging to GPSC10. Zinc metalloproteinase C was well conserved within all analyzed isolates belonging to GPSC9 but were not found in isolates from GPSC1 or GPSC10.Conclusions: Although MDR S. pneumoniae is relatively uncommon in Sweden compared to other countries, virulent non-PCV serotypes that are MDR may become an increasing problem, particularly from clusters GPSC9 and GPSC10. Since the incidence of certain serotypes (3, 15A, and 19A) found among our MDR Swedish study isolates are persistent or increasing in invasive pneumococcal disease further surveillance is warranted.

    الوصف: Целью исследования являлось определение частоты и спектра инфекций, вызываемых Streptococcus pneumoniae, у взрослых пациентов многопрофильного стационара, а также чувствительности выделенных изолятов к антибиотикам (АБ). В исследование включались взрослые пациенты с выявленным в клинических образцах S. pneumoniae либо положительным тестом на пневмококковую антигенурию. Идентификация S. pneumoniae и определение его чувствительности к АБ проводились с использованием системы BD Phoenix (ВD, США). Интерпретация результатов определения чувствительности к АБ проводилась в соответствии со стандартами EUCAST (European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing – Европейский комитет по тестированию на чувствительность к противомикробным препаратам) v. 11.0. Дополнительно регистрировались клинико-демографические данные пациентов, факторы риска инфицирования пенициллинорезистентными пневмококками (ПРП), исход лечения в стационаре. В исследование было включено 180 больных (63,3% мужчин) в возрасте от 19 до 95 лет. Наиболее частым проявлением пневмококковой инфекции (ПИ) была внебольничная пневмония – 62,2%, затем следовали нозокомиальные инфекции нижних дыхательных путей (13,3%); в 7,8% случаев выявлена бактериемия. Большинство пациентов имели хронические сопутствующие заболевания, чаще всего артериальную гипертонию (67,2%), ишемическую болезнь сердца (32,2%) и хроническую сердечную недостаточность (23,9%). Госпитальная летальность составила 37,2%, летальность, обусловленная ПИ, – 5,0%. Вакцинированы против ПИ до госпитализации были 6,1% пациентов. Среди факторов риска инфицирования ПРП наиболее распространенными являлись хронические сопутствующие заболевания (86,1%) и возраст старше 65 лет (48,9%). Всего 23,7% изолятов S. pneumoniae были резистентны к пенициллину, 21,9% – к эритромицину, 11,8% – к цефтриаксону. Таким образом, ПИ представляют актуальную проблему для многопрофильного стационара c точки зрения частоты встречаемости и прогноза. Отмечена крайне низкая частота специфической профилактики ПИ в группах риска, широкая распространенность факторов риска инфицирования ПРП и высокая частота выявления изолятов S. pneumoniae, резистентных к пенициллинам, макролидам и цефалоспоринам III поколения
    The aim of this study was to determine the incidence and range of infections caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae in adult patients of a multidisciplinary hospital, as well as to assess the sensitivity of identified isolates to antibiotics (ABs). The study included adult patients with S. pneumoniae identified in clinical samples or positive pneumococcal urinary antigen test. The identification of S. pneumoniae and determination of its sensitivity to ABs were performed using BD Phoenix system (BD, USA). The interpretation of results of AB sensitivity determination was conducted in accordance with European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST v. 11.0) standards. Additionally, clinical and demographic data of patients were recorded, along with the risk factors for penicillin-resistant pneumococci (PRP), and stationary treatment outcomes. The study included 180 patients (63.3% men) aged 19 to 95 years. The most common manifestations of pneumococcal infection (PI) were community-acquired pneumonia (62.2%), followed by nosocomial lower respiratory tract infections (13.3%), and bacteremia in 7.8% of cases. The majority of patients had chronic comorbid conditions, most frequently, hypertension (67.2%), coronary artery disease (32.2%), and heart failure (23.9%). The hospital mortality rate was 37.2% and mortality due to PI was 5.0%. Before hospitalization 6.1% of patients were vaccinated against PI. The most common risk factors of PRP infection were chronic concomitant conditions (86.1%) and age above 65 years (48.9%). The total of 23.7% of S. pneumoniae isolates were resistant to penicillin, 21.9% – to erythromycin, and 11.8% – to ceftriaxone. Pneumococcal infection is an urgent problem for multidisciplinary hospitals, taken their incidence and prognosis. An extremely low incidence of specific prevention of PI was found in all risk groups, along with a high prevalence of risk factors of PRP infection, and high identification frequency of S. pneumoniae isolates resistant to penicillin, macrolides, and third generation cephalosporins.

    الوصف: S obzirom na zabilježene slučajeve invazivne pneumokokne bolesti u bolesnika s kroničnom bubrežnom bolesti uznapredovala stadija, Upravni odbor Hrvatskog društva za nefrologiju, dijalizu i transplantaciju (HDNDT) Hrvatskoga liječničkog zbora donio je u svibnju 2017. godine odluku o izradi Preporuka/Smjernica za prevenciju pneumokoknih bolesti cijepljenjem u bolesnika s kroničnom bubrežnom bolesti. Preporuke/Smjernice temelje se na relevantnoj medicinskoj literaturi: smjernicama Europskog društva za kliničku mikrobiologiju i zarazne bolesti i Svjetskog udruženja za zarazne bolesti i imunosne poremećaje te na Programu imunizacije, seroprofilakse i kemoprofilakse za posebne skupine stanovništva Hrvatskog zavoda za javno zdravstvo. U njihovoj su izradi sudjelovali nefrolozi, infektolozi i epidemiolozi. U Republici Hrvatskoj dostupne su dvije vrste pneumokoknog cjepiva koje se mogu primijeniti u odraslih: konjugirano cjepivo PCV13 i polisaharidno cjepivo PPSV23. U Preporukama/Smjernicama navedena je detaljna shema cijepljenja koje se preporučuje provesti u bolesnika s kroničnom bubrežnom bolesti koji bubrežnu funkciju nadomještaju hemodijalizom, peritonealnom dijalizom, kandidati su za transplantacijsko liječenje ili su transplantirani i imaju jedan ili više komorbiditeta (šećernu bolest, kroničnu plućnu bolest, kroničnu srčanožilnu bolest, kroničnu uznapredovalu jetrenu bolest, kronični bubrežni bolesnici sa solidnim ili hematološkim tumorima te splenektomirani).
    Considering the reported cases of invasive pneumococcal disease in advanced chronic kidney disease patients, in May 2017 the Steering Board of the Croatian Society of Nephrology, Dialysis and Transplantation (CSNDT) of the Croatian Medical Association issued a decision on the preparation of Guidelines for the prevention of pneumococcal diseases in patients with chronic kidney disease. The Guidelines are based on relevant medical literature, Guidelines of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, the World Association for Infectious Diseases and Immunological Disorders, and the Program for immunization, seroprophylaxis and chemoprophylaxis for special population groups of the Croatian Institute of Public Health. Nephrologists, infectologists and epidemiologists were involved in their development. There are two types of pneumococcal vaccine available in Croatia that can be used for adults, conjugated vaccine PCV13 and polysaccharide vaccine PPSV23. The Guidelines include planning and implementation of vaccination in chronic kidney disease patients who replace kidney function with hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, renal transplant, or are candidates for treatment by transplantation, having one or more comorbidities: diabetes mellitus, chronic pulmonary disease, chronic cardiovascular disease, chronic advanced liver disease, chronic kidney disease with solid or hematological tumors, and splenectomy.

Epub 2013 Jun 24.; International audience; INTRODUCTION: The 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (Prevenar((R)), Wyeth; PCV7) was introduced to the UK paediatric immunisation schedule in 2006. This study investigates trends in serotypes and multi locus sequence types (STs) among cases of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in Scotland prior to, and following, the introduction of PCV7. METHODS: Scottish Invasive Pneumococcal Disease Enhanced Surveillance has records of all cases of IPD in Scotland since 1999. Cases diagnosed from blood or cerebrospinal fluid isolates until 2010 were analysed. Logistic and poisson regression modelling was used to assess trends prior to and following the introduction of PCV7. RESULTS: Prior to PCV7 use, on average 650 cases of IPD were reported each year; 12% occurred in those aged
