Ceftriaxone-resistant Escherichia coli strains producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases were identified in elderly, nursing home residents. These isolates showed resistance to multiple antibiotics but remained susceptible to carbapenems like imipenem and meropenem.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Clinical Infectious Diseases
  • Antimicrobial Resistance

Background:

  • Ceftriaxone resistance in Escherichia coli is a growing concern in healthcare settings.
  • Understanding resistance patterns is crucial for effective patient treatment and infection control.

Observation:

  • A study identified 97 ceftriaxone-resistant E. coli isolates from 36 patients over 16 months.
  • Most affected patients were elderly (over 75 years), residing in nursing homes, and had comorbidities like incontinence or catheter use.

Findings:

  • All isolates exhibited extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) production.
  • Resistance was observed against ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, ampicillin, and cephalosporins (except ceftazidime and cefepime with decreased susceptibility).
  • All strains remained susceptible to carbapenems, specifically imipenem and meropenem.

Implications:

  • The emergence of ESBL-producing E. coli poses a significant challenge for treating infections in vulnerable populations.
  • Carbapenems remain a viable treatment option for infections caused by these multidrug-resistant strains.
  • Surveillance and infection control measures are critical in nursing home settings to limit the spread of resistant bacteria.
