OBJECTIVE: To report the microbiological profile of the pathogens implicated in blood stream infections (BSI) in hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients and to examine the risk factors associated with multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) causing BSI.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between March 2020 and September 2021, 1647 patients were hospitalized with COVID-19 at the American University of Beirut. From 85 patients, 299 positive blood cultures were reported to the Infection Control and Prevention Program. The BSI was defined as 1 positive blood culture for bacterial or fungal pathogens. The following organisms were considered MDROs: methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus spp, carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales spp., carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, MDR Acinetobacter baumannii only susceptible to colistin or tigecycline, and Candida auris.
RESULTS: We identified 99 true positive BSI events. Gram-negative bacteria accounted for 38.4 %, followed by Gram-positive bacteria (37.4%), and fungi (24.2%). The most isolated species were Candida spp. (23%), 3 of which were C. auris, followed by Enterobacterales spp. (13%), Enterococcus spp. (12%), S. aureus (9%), P. aeruginosa (9%), and A. baumannii (3%). The MDROs represented 26% of the events. The overall mortality rate was 78%. The time to acquisition of BSI in patients with MDROs was significantly longer compared with that of non-MDROs (20.2 days vs 11.2 days). And there was a significantly shorter time from acquisition of BSI to mortality between MDROs and non-MDROs (1.5 vs 8.3 days).
CONCLUSION: Rigorous infection prevention and control measures and antimicrobial stewardship are important to prevent antimicrobial resistance progression, especially in low-resource settings.
