Background: In HM pt, VRE BSI is associated with increased morbidity & mortality. Dap is typically used to treat VRE BSI, but the emergence of DapNS-VRE has been noted. Data regarding risk factors for BSI with DapNS-VRE are limited. We sought to determine risk factors and outcomes of DapNS-VRE BSI in our HM pt.

Methods: All HM pt with DapNS-VRE BSI between Jan. 2011 & Dec. 2015 were studied. Pt were matched 1:2 with control HM pt who had Dap-susceptible (DapS) VRE BSI based on disease, age & transplant status.

Results: A total of 19 DapNS-VRE BSI cases & 38 DapS-VRE BSI controls were included. Mean age was 56 years for cases and 60 for controls; Among the cases, 11 pt (58%) were male compared to 29 pt (76%) within the controls. 85% of cases and controls had AML. Five cases initially had DapS-VRE BSI & then developed DapNS-VRE on consecutive blood cultures. An additional 3 cases with DapS-VRE BSI had cleared their blood cultures, but within 7 days developed DapNS-VRE BSI. There were 6 additional cases who had a previous enterococcal infection within the prior 90 days. Ultimately, there were 9 cases (47%) vs. 2 controls (6%) with a previous enterococcal infection within the prior 90 days. Individual predictors for DapNS-VRE BSI were prior Dap exposure (p<.0001), prior enteroccocal infection <90 days (p=.001), prior cefepime exposure (p=.023), typhlitis (p=.021), & GI bleed (p=.038). Chemotherapy type, immunosuppression, and malignancy status (relapse vs. new diagnosis) were not associated with increased risk for DapNS-VRE BSI. Duration of BSI & mortality were similar in both groups.

Conclusion: Prior use of Dap and prior enterococcal infection were identified as highly significant risk factors for DapNS-VRE BSI. In a few HM pt, DapNS-VRE appeared to develop while on Dap which likely reflects selection for resistant organisms. Currently, treatment options for VRE BSI are limited. The association of DapNS-VRE with prior Dap exposure raises the question of whether Dap should be the first-line agent for VRE BSI in HM pt or whether, if used, higher doses could prevent the emergence of resistance.
