Abstract Background Staphylococcus aureus bacteriuria (SABU) represents 0.2–4% of all positive urine cultures. While asymptomatic colonization or infection of the urinary tract is possible, hematogenous seeding from S. aureus bacteremia (SAB) represents a potentially life-threatening condition. The rate of concomitant SAB is estimated to be 6.9–17.2% among those with SABU, and these patients are at higher risk of in-hospital mortality, infective endocarditis, embolic events, and vertebral osteomyelitis. Detection of SABU represents an opportunity for early detection and intervention in SAB. Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of clinical and microbiological characteristics of adult patients with SABU as our pre-intervention baseline. We then implemented a comment with the urine culture result in the electronic medical record (EMR) advising providers about the possibility of concomitant bacteremia. We conducted an interim analysis of early post-intervention data. Figure 1: Study Workflow Figure 1: Study workflow depicting case recruitment and blood culture results. Figure 2: Intervention Flag Figure 2: Example of intervention comment displayed with the urine culture result in the EMR. Results 250 adult patients developed SABU from January 1, 2021, to January 31, 2023. Of these, 87 (34.8%) had urinary tract symptoms, and 91 (36.4%) had a chronic indwelling urinary catheter. 74 (29.6%) patients had blood cultures collected within 7 days of positive urine culture. The presence of urinary symptoms or indwelling catheter was not associated with blood culture collection. Only 22 patients (8.8%) had SAB with SABU. One patient was diagnosed with SAB 20 days after detection of SABU with infective endocarditis and disseminated infection, representing a delay in diagnosis. Following implementation of the intervention, an additional 86 patients with SABU had the result comment displayed in the EMR. Blood cultures were collected in 19 (22.1%) patients, and 2 (2.3%) were positive for S. aureus. There were no significant differences in rates of blood culture collection or SAB after implementation of the EMR result comment. Conclusion Our results show a similar rate of SABU associated SAB to that previously reported in the literature. Delayed diagnosis of SAB in SABU is uncommon but does occur rarely with significant morbidity. The addition of a result comment is a simple and cost-effective intervention; however, evaluation of its efficacy is presently limited by a short follow-up duration.

Abstract Background Staphylococcus aureus (SA) infections, both methicillin-susceptible and methicillin-resistant (MSSA, MRSA), cause significant morbidity among infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICU). Colonization usually precedes infection. We studied the molecular epidemiology of SA colonization in NICU infants using whole genome sequencing (WGS) and in relation to the opening of a new NICU with single-family rooms. Methods From 2019-22, a prospective cohort of infants admitted to the Level IV NICU at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN was screened twice weekly for SA colonization using cultures of nares/axilla/groin swabs. Infection control procedures were consistent throughout, including use of Contact Precautions for infants colonized with MRSA but not for MSSA. The study was divided into period 1 (1/1/2019-11/30/2020) and period 2 (12/1/2020-12/31/2022) due to a move from a 34-bed unit (26 beds in four open-bay rooms and 8 beds in single-family rooms) to a new 34-bed unit (all single-family rooms). WGS was performed using Illumina MiSeq instrumentation and chemistry with Illumina Nextera XT library chemistry. Assembly and core genome multilocus sequence typing analysis were performed with Ridom SeqSphere+ software. Groups of related isolates were identified based on the number of allelic differences (related 0-8 differences, possibly related 9-29 differences, unrelated ≥ 30 differences). Groups of MRSA-related isolates were compared with reference USA genotypes. Chi square tests did not adjust for clustering. Results There were 663 admissions in period 1 and 730 in period 2. The prevalence of MSSA and MRSA colonization was unchanged in the two periods (MSSA, 18.6% vs. 16.7%, p=0.37; MRSA 1.8% vs. 3.3%, p=0.08). By WGS, most MSSA and MRSA isolates were unrelated to another isolate in both periods (Table). Groups of related MSSA and MRSA isolates differed between the two periods and the number of isolates/group was small (< 6 isolates). Groups of related MRSA isolates were associated with reference genotypes USA100 (period 1), USA1000 (periods 1 & 2), and USA300 (period 2). WGS Results for MSSA and MRSA in Periods 1 and 2 Conclusion NICU infants were usually colonized with unrelated strains of MSSA and MRSA, with only small clusters of related strains. The new NICU was not associated with a change in MSSA or MRSA colonization.

Abstract Background Implementing effective antimicrobial stewardship interventions is an important component of antimicrobial stewardship programs. Recently, stewardship research has shown that clinician characteristics may have an impact on antimicrobial stewardship intervention methods and acceptance rates. Methods A multisite health system antimicrobial stewardship prospective audit and feedback program interventions performed by stewardship staff using a standardized electronic medical record (EMR) tool were compared by stewardship clinician profession (pharmacist, physician, or advanced practice provider, APP) from 7/1/2017 to 6/30/2022. Outcomes assessed were intervention rates, communication methods, and intervention acceptance by patient age and intensive care unit (ICU) status of patient. Generalized estimating equations utilizing logistic regression were used to assess for associations between staff. Associations were assessed both univariately and after adjusting for other factors. Results Of 69,503 prospective audit and feedback EMR based rules, there were 14,699 rules associated with an intervention. The majority of rules were reviewed by pharmacists (90.7%) followed by physician (9.2%) and APP (< 1%). Of 9,034 interventions with an outcome documented, 7326 (85.5%) pharmacist interventions were accepted and 360 (77.3%) physician interventions were accepted (adjusted p=0.047). Pharmacists intervened by direct action (ie, adjust a medication order) in 6.6% of interventions; whereas, physicians did so rarely (0.4%). Pharmacists were more likely to use synchronous communication than physicians in the adjusted model (pharmacist vs. physician: 63.8% vs 52.5%; p=0.004). Patients in the ICU had a significantly lower intervention acceptance rate (non-ICU vs. ICU: 86.6% vs. 78.0%; adjusted OR 0.57 [95% CI 0.46-0.70], p< 0.001).Table 1.Intervention Rate by Baseline Demographics of Stewardship Clinicians and Patients. *% are reported as row % **Multivariable model was also adjusted for day of week and time of day APP-Advanced practice provider; ICU-intensive care unitTable 2.Intervention Acceptance. *% are reported as row % **Multivariable model was also adjusted for day of week and time of day APP-Advanced practice provider; ICU-intensive care unit Conclusion Antimicrobial stewardship pharmacists and physicians are both effective at prospective audit and feedback but used different intervention styles. Advanced practice providers were vastly underrepresented. Patients in the ICU may benefit from tailored ASP efforts.

Abstract Background Coccidioidomycosis is an endemic fungal infection in the desert southwestern USA. Less than 1% of infections are complicated by coccidioidal meningitis (CM), which requires lifetime treatment, and has high morbidity. IDSA guidelines recommend high dose fluconazole (flu) as first line treatment, but up to 31% of CM patients (pts) fail flu. Guidelines have not yet articulated best subsequent therapy, but options include itraconazole (itra), voriconazole (vori), posaconazole and isavuconazole (isa). Excellent adherence to medications is imperative, and therapeutic fluconazole (flu) serum levels correlate with successful CM outcome. Many azoles are substrates of P450/CYP enzymes, and genetic alterations may influence medication levels. We have observed many CM pts who swear to adherence yet have low therapeutic azole levels. Our aim was to summarize our experience with pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing to guide treatment of CM. Methods We conducted a retrospective review of CM pts in our Coccidioidomycosis Clinic who underwent 1 of 2 targeted gene queries, either an internal 9-gene query or an external vendor 27 gene test. A PGx pharmacist interpreted results. Results From 1/1/2021 – 4/30/2023, we identified 6 pts with poorly controlled CM as manifested by repeated hospitalizations, progressively abnormal findings on lumbar puncture and/or magnetic resonance imaging of the central nervous system. Among the 6, 3 (50%) were male, 5 (83%) white, mean age 45 (28-71) years, with 34-month mean duration of illness. None were immunosuppressed. CM was complicated by strokes in 3, and hydrocephalus requiring ventriculoperitoneal shunt in 2. Five failed initial high dose flu and most had some low therapeutic levels without other medications acting as CYP inducers/inhibitors. 3 pts had the 9 gene test and 3 had the 27 gene test. Clinically relevant PGx abnormalities were identified in 5, including variants of CYP 2C19, 2C9, 3A4 and 3A5, which confer altered metabolism of vori, itra and isa, respectively. Following PGx, treatment was adjusted in 4 pts. Conclusion PGx testing is a potential adjunctive tool to avoid ineffective therapies or medication toxicity in an infection whose treatment success strongly depends on consistent therapeutic medication levels over a lifetime.

Abstract Background The 2023 Duke-ISCVID criteria for IE were recently introduced to improve classification of IE for research and clinical purposes (Table 1). We compared the diagnostic accuracy of the new criteria with the 2000 modified Duke criteria, the 2015 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) criteria and a clinically adjudicated reference standard by a panel of international experts on IE.Table 1:Overview of changes in criteria from 2000 modified Duke to 2023 Duke-ISCVIDAdapted from: Fowler et al, Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2023 Methods The study population consisted of consecutively enrolled patients suspected to have IE and discussed by the IE team of the Amsterdam University Medical Center (AMC) between October 2016 and March 2021. A panel of international experts on IE assigned a final diagnosis, which served as the reference standard. We compared the definite classification of the 2023 Duke-ISCVID criteria against this reference standard. We also evaluated accuracy of the new criteria, excluding data obtained from cardiac surgery and pathology (“Clinical Criteria”). Lastly, we quantified the added value of the proposed changes to the criteria, and compared the 2023 Duke-ISCVID to previous criteria using the McNemar test. We performed sensitivity analyses in patients who underwent cardiac surgery and patients who underwent TEE. Results 595 patients with suspected IE were included, of whom 399 (67%) were adjudicated as having IE. 111 patients (19%) had prosthetic valve IE, 48 (8%) had cardiac implantable electronic device IE. The 2023 Duke-ISCVID criteria were more sensitive than the modified Duke or ESC criteria (84.2 vs 74.9 vs 80%,respectively, p < 0.001 for ISCVID vs ESC criteria) without significant loss of specificity (Table 2). After excluding cardiac surgery/pathology results, the 2023 Duke-ISCVID Clinical Criteria also had significantly better sensitivity than the modified Duke and ESC criteria, again without losing specificity. The changes in the 'major microbiological' and 'imaging' criteria had the most impact (Figure 1). Findings were robust in sensitivity analyses (Table 3). When classifying ‘definite’ and ‘possible’ IE as a positive test, the 2023 Duke-ISCVID criteria had 99% sensitivity compared to the reference standard, but specificity decreased to 21%.Table 2:Diagnostic accuracy of modified Duke, ESC and Duke-ISCVID criteria Sensitivity and specificity are against the reference standard (adjudication panel). The Clinical Criteria classification is the Duke-ISCVID classification when results from surgery or post-mortem studies are not used to determine classification.Table 3:Sensitivity analyses of accuracy of Duke-ISCVID criteria In the Definite + Possible analysis, patients with possible IE according to the Duke-ISCVID criteria were also considered as having IE. All comparisons are against the reference standard (adjudication panel). Conclusion In this cohort, the 2023 Duke-ISCVID criteria represent a significant advance in the diagnostic classification of patients suspected of IE. Added value of new Duke-ISCVID criteria compared to modified Duke criteria Each point (red square for sensitivity, blue circle for specificity) provides the diagnostic accuracy measure for the 2000 modified Duke Criteria with addition of a specific change from the Duke-ISCVID criteria. The horizontal bars represent the 95% confidence interval for the point estimate. The top points represent the modified Duke criteria without addition, the bottom points are the complete Duke-ISCVID criteria. Disclosures Larry M.

Abstract Background Due to extensive protein binding, use of ceftriaxone in the setting of hypoalbuminemia may result in suboptimal drug exposure via higher concentrations of unbound drug resulting in increased volume of distribution and increased drug clearance. We aimed to evaluate the impact of hypoalbuminemia on clinical success among hospitalized adults with obesity who were treated with ceftriaxone for a bacterial infection. Methods This retrospective review included adult inpatients with weight > 100 kg or body mass index (BMI) > 40 who received ceftriaxone 2 grams intravenously every 12 hours for at least 72 hours for one of the following indications: bloodstream infection, pneumonia, urinary tract infection, non-enterococcal endocarditis, skin and soft tissue infection, or bone and joint infection. The primary outcome was clinical success, a composite of clinical cure and microbiologic cure. Clinical cure was defined as resolution of signs and symptoms compatible with active infection without need to change or extend antibiotic therapy due to inadequate effect of ceftriaxone. Microbiologic cure was defined as negative repeat sterile site cultures, if applicable. Secondary outcomes included length of stay, mortality, and 30-day readmission. Outcomes were analyzed with Mann-Whitney U tests, Pearson’s chi-squared tests, and Fisher’s exact tests (α level = 0.05). Results 137 patients were included, 34 of whom had a serum albumin ≤ 2.5 g/dL. Patients were predominantly white (94.2%) and male (69.3%) with a median BMI of 48.6 (Table 1). Clinical success, a composite of clinical and microbiologic cure, was achieved in 76.5% and 92.2% (p = 0.013) of those with and without hypoalbuminemia, respectively. Clinical cure was significantly more common among those without hypoalbuminemia (93.2%) as compared to those with hypoalbuminemia (76.5%) (p = 0.007). Death during hospitalization was more common (14.7% vs. 0%, p < 0.001) and median length of stay was longer (14 vs. 9 days, p = 0.009) in the hypoalbuminemia group. No difference was seen in 30-day readmission (23.5% vs. 11.7%, p = 0.089). Conclusion Hypoalbuminemia was associated with a lower rate of clinical success among patients with obesity who were treated with ceftriaxone 2 grams every 12 hours. Disclosures Christina G.

Abstract Background Inappropriate use of carbapenems is a major driver of antimicrobial resistance. The intensive care unit (ICU) at Mayo Clinic Arizona had a higher meropenem (MER) days of therapy (DOT) per 1000 patient days (PD) compared to other Mayo Clinic Enterprise sites, despite low rates of Pseudomonal resistance to narrower spectrum anti-pseudomonal beta-lactams. Methods A multidisciplinary team of infectious diseases (ID) and critical care medicine (CCM) physicians and pharmacists was created to reduce inappropriate use of MER in the ICU. The baseline rate of appropriateness was determined by evaluating all MER days in the ICU during Q4 2019 and Q4 2020. Each MER day was designated as appropriate or inappropriate based on pre-determined criteria after review by at least one ID and one CCM member. Discordant days were evaluated by the whole team to achieve consensus. The team provided education to the CCM department on the initiative, baseline data, and strategies to reduce inappropriate MER use. The active intervention included prospective audit and feedback of all patients on MER performed by the ID clinical pharmacists Mon-Fri 0700-1530 in Q4 2022. DOT/1000 PD was assessed for the pre-intervention and intervention periods. Results The baseline rate of inappropriate MER use in the ICU was 52% (442/846 days). The two most common reasons for inappropriate MER use in the baseline period were: susceptible organism for which a narrower agent could have been used (93/442, 21%), and infectious workup/cultures negative (89/442, 20%). During the intervention period, the inappropriate rate of MER use was reduced to 23%, below the pre-determined goal of 30%. The MER DOT/1000 PD in the baseline period were 103.9 (Q4 2019) and 151.5 (Q4 2020) versus 66.1 (Q4 2022) in the intervention period. There was no difference in ICU sepsis-related mortality in the pre-intervention vs intervention period (13.4 vs 0%, p=0.04). Conclusion A multidisciplinary team approach, including education and prospective audit and feedback, reduced inappropriate MER use in the ICU of an academic medical center from 52 to 23%. An associated decrease in MER DOT/1000 patient days was also observed. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures

Abstract Background Rhodococcus spp. are a zoonotic, Gram-positive coccobacilli that cause pulmonary and disseminated disease in immunocompromised patients. Rhodococcus infection is associated with high morbidity and mortality and treatment can be challenging due to intrinsic resistance to several antibiotics. There is limited data on antibiotic susceptibility patterns and clinical characteristics of infection in humans. Methods We retrospectively evaluated the microbiology and antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) of Rhodococcus isolates submitted to our medical reference laboratory between June 2012 and 2022. Identification (ID) was performed by Sanger 16S rRNA gene sequencing or MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. AST was performed by microbroth dilution. We also reviewed the clinical characteristics, management, and outcomes of patients managed at our local academic medical center. Results Over a 10-year period, 322 isolates of Rhodococcus spp. were identified from blood (50%), pulmonary (26%), and bone/joint (12%) sources. R equi/hoagii and R corynebacteriodes were the most frequently isolated species, with 19% of isolates only identified to genus level (Figure 1). 199 isolates were evaluated for AST, with high rates of resistance to cephalosporins and aminoglycosides. Optimal antibiotics based on AST included imipenem, vancomycin, linezolid, clarithromycin, and TMP-SMX. Discordance in susceptibility was noted between ciprofloxacin (62%) and moxifloxacin (94%) (Table 1). Ten clinical cases of Rhodococcus infection were identified. Eight patients were immunocompromised with 6 having pulmonary and 3 with extra-pulmonary disease. Significant variability in choice and duration of therapy was noted, but all patients had positive treatment response with minimal complications (Table 2). Conclusion This study demonstrates high rates of resistance among Rhodococcus isolates with need for accurate ID and AST to guide effective treatment of infection among immunocompromised patients.

Purpose: Endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) is the dominant treatment modality over open repair for abdominal aortic aneurysms. However, a higher rate of reinterventions remains the Achilles heel of EVAR. Although type 1A endoleak from proximal seal zone failure of EVAR remains one of the leading causes for reintervention, fenestrated branched devices suitable for proximal extension of failed EVAR are not widely available in the United States. Gore Thoracoabdominal Multibranch Endoprosthesis (TAMBE) is an off-the-shelf investigational device that provides supraceliac seal by incorporating 4 visceral and renal arteries via preloaded inner branches. Case Report: In this article, we describe 2 cases of type 1A endoleak from previous EVAR devices repaired using TAMBE. Both cases were performed under the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) compassionate use exemption. Considerations on the case planning and implantation techniques of TAMBE specific to previous EVAR devices are reviewed. Conclusions: Gore TAMBE can be utilized to repair a type 1A endoleak of a previous infrarenal EVAR device. Greater supraceliac coverage necessary for TAMBE relative to the minimal seal zone should be considered when applying this device for a type 1A endoleak. Clinical Impact This report demonstrates the feasibility of applying off-the-shelf TAMBE device to treat one of the most common failure modes of EVAR, type1A endoleak.

Abstract Background Biofilms formed by antibiotic-resistant bacteria in wound beds present unique challenges in terms of treating wound infections. In this work, the in vivo anti-biofilm activity of a novel electrochemical bandage (e-bandage) designed to continuously deliver low amounts of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) was evaluated against wound biofilm infections caused by a clinical isolate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa resistant to all antibiotic classes except aminoglycosides. Methods 5 mm skin wounds were created on the dorsal surface of Swiss-Webster mice and infected with 106 CFU of P. aeruginosa. Biofilms were allowed to form over 2 days, after which e-bandages with Tegaderm™ or Tegaderm only were placed on the wound beds. Specifically, mice were randomized to one of three experimental groups (n = 7-8): 1) Tegaderm only (control); 2) non-polarized e-bandage; 3) polarized e-bandage using a wearable potentiostat. After 48 hours, animals were sacrificed and 10 mm skin biopsies containing the wound and surrounding tissue were harvested for bacterial quantification. Histopathology was performed on H&E-stained sections of wound beds from each treatment group. Blood was screened with an inflammatory cytokine panel. Wound healing (% area reduction; digital measurement) and purulence (observational scoring) were assessed in pre- and post-treatment wounds. Results 48 hours of polarized e-bandage treatment resulted in a mean reduction of 1.86 log10 biofilm CFUs/g (p < 0.0001) vs non-polarized controls, and 2.18 log10 CFU/g reduction (p < 0.0001) vs Tegaderm only controls (polarized, 7.6 ± 0.66 log10 CFU/g; non-polarized, 9.45 ± 0.26 log+10 CFU/g; Tegaderm only, 9.78 ± 0.16 log10 CFU/g). Compared to Tegaderm only, purulence reduction and wound healing were significantly higher for both non-polarized (purulence - p < 0.0001; healing - p < 0.01 ) and polarized treatment (purulence - p < 0.0001; healing - p < 0.0001) groups, but were not significantly different from each other. Histopathology and blood inflammation panel testing showed no significant differences between groups. Conclusion An HOCl-producing e-bandage reduced P. aeruginosa in wound biofilms, representing a potential antibiotic-free strategy for the treatment of recalcitrant wound infections.
