Popis: Background Select hospitalized patients are actively screened for VREC but VRE isolates may not undergo antibiotic susceptibility testing. We sought to identify predictors of daptomycin (DAP) nonsusceptibility (DNS, MIC > 4) and LNS (MIC > 2) among enteric VRE isolates recovered from patients actively screened for VREC for which antibiotic susceptibility testing was not preformed. Methods This was a retrospective study of consecutive adults admitted to a surgical intensive care unit (ICU) or associated medical unit between June 1, 2017 and March 1, 2018 who had a VRE isolate from active screening. Only index isolates were included. DAP and LZD MICs were determined by Etest. Patient- and antimicrobial-level data, including ambulatory prescriptions, dating back to January 1, 2016 were collected. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to determine predictors of DNS and LNS VRE. Results In total, 64 patients’ VRE rectal isolates were included. Fifty-nine (92.2%) were E. faecium and 50 (78.1%) were from ICU patients. Thirty-seven patients (57.8%) were female and the mean age ± SD was 60 ± 13 years. Five (7.8%) and 20 (31.3%) patients had previous abdominal transplant and VRE infection, respectively. DAP and LZD MIC distributions are shown in the table below. Forty-one (64.1%) VRE isolates were LNS, including five LZD-resistant isolates. Only one (1.6%) isolate was DNS precluding an analysis of DNS predictors; 12 (18.8%) isolates had a DAP MIC > 2 mg/L. Common antimicrobial exposures prior to index VRE isolate included: vancomycin (62.5%), ceftriaxone (64.1%), cefepime (53.1%), metronidazole (50%), and ciprofloxacin (50%). Previous LZD (17.2%) and DAP (15.6%) exposure were less common. In a multivariable model, number of previous cefazolin doses (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 0.74 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.55–0.95), and previous tobramycin exposure (aOR 0.15, 95% CI 0.02–0.81) were inversely associated with LNS. Previous LZD exposure was not associated with LNS. Conclusion LNS was common amongst VRE isolates in this cohort. Previous LZD exposure was infrequent and not associated with LNS. LZD susceptibility testing among VRE isolates recovered from patients actively screened for VREC warrants clinical consideration. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.
