Abstract

We conducted a retrospective study from 2005 to 2019 to describe the epidemiology and mortality of enterobacterial producing extended-spectrum β-lactamase (E-ESBL) infections in our university hospital over a 17-year period of time. Clinical and microbiological data were extracted from different software used for continuous surveillance. Stool samples from systematic screening for E-ESBL colonization were excluded from the study. The incidence rate of infected patient was calculated by E-ESBL species and by year. A comparison of mortality rate in patients with bloodstream infections versus other types of infections was conducted using a Kaplan-Meier method survival curves. A log rank test (with a risk of 5%) was carried out. A total of 3324 patients with E-ESBL infection were included with an increased incidence density per 1000 days of hospitalization from 0.03 in 2005 to 0.47 in 2019. Escherichia coli was the most frequently isolated pathogen (64%). Global mortality rate was significantly higher with E. coli than with Klebsiella spp. and Enterobacter spp. (p < 0.001). Mortality was higher in patients with E-ESBL bloodstream infection than in patients with other type of E-ESBL infection (p < 0.001). Our study showed a significant increase of the E-ESBL incidence density over a 17-year period survey with a higher mortality in patients with E-ESBL bacteremia. This highlights the need to continue efforts to control the spread of these multi-resistant bacteria in our institution.
