Background The incidence of infections due to extensively drug-resistant (XDR) and pandrug-resistant (PDR) strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PSA)is increasing, mainly due to the overuse of antibiotics. Purpose The aim of this study was to identify and describe the infections due to XDR and PDR PSA occurring in our hospital, as well as to compare the effectiveness of monotherapy versus combination therapy. Material and methods Observational, retrospective and longitudinal study was performed. Patients with positive cultures in diagnostic samples for XDR and PDR PSA from March 2009 to August 2018 were included. Magiorakos criteria were used to define XDR and PDR PSA. Only infections with directed treatment with systemic, inhaled, intratracheal antibiotics or a combination were considered. Data were collected from hospital electronic records. Comorbidity was measured by calculating the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) at the beginning of hospitalisation. Previous hospitalisation and previous antibiotic treatment were considered if they occurred in the 90 days prior to hospitalisation. Crude in-hospital mortality and composite cure rate (significant resolution or complete resolution of all signs and symptoms of the infection), defined as both clinical cure and microbiological eradication were evaluated. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS statistics v24.0. Results A total of 155 infections in 87 patients were included. Mean age was 67 (IQR 50–75) years. Median CCI was 3 (IQR 1–5). 43.9% of patients had previous hospitalisation and in 42.4% of patients antibiotics were administered previously. Thirty-three per cent of patients were transferred from another hospital or a social-sanitary centre. Death occurred in 19.4% of infections. The main infections were urologic (42.6%). 5.8% were PDR strains, 17.4% were colistin-resistant and 40.0% meropenem-resistant strains. The main systemic antibiotics used were: colistin 22.7% and meropenem 20.7%. Intratracheal and inhaled antibiotics were used in 4.0% and 1.0% of episodes respectively: 27.1% were combined treatments. Microbiological resolution was achieved in 54.2% of infections, while clinical resolution was observed in 75.5%. Non-statistically significant results were obtained when comparing the effectiveness of combination therapy versus monotherapy in achieving clinical resolution (OR:0.539; 95% CI: 0.246 to 1.181). Conclusion In our hospital these kinds of infections were produced in the older population with a moderate CCI and previous exposure to antibiotics. A high percentage of meropenem-resistant strains were found. Combination therapy was not more effective than monotherapy in achieving clinical resolution.
