Abstract Background The increasing prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains resistant to non-beta-lactam antimicrobials poses a significant challenge in treating severe MRSA bloodstream infections. This study explores resistance development and mechanisms in MRSA isolates, especially after the first dalbavancin-resistant MRSA strain in our hospital in 2016. Methods This study investigated 55 MRSA bloodstream isolates (02/2015–02/2021) from the University Hospital of the Medical University of Vienna, Austria. The MICs of dalbavancin, linezolid, and daptomycin were assessed. Two isolates (16–33 and 19–362) resistant to dalbavancin were analyzed via whole-genome sequencing, with morphology evaluated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Results S.aureus BSI strain 19–362 had two novel missense mutations (p.I515M and p.A606D) in the pbp2 gene. Isolate 16–33 had a 534 bp deletion in the DHH domain of GdpP and a SNV in pbp2 (p.G146R). Both strains had mutations in the rpoB gene, but at different positions. TEM revealed significantly thicker cell walls in 16–33 (p

Abstract Background While Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) is the leading cause of pediatric complicated community acquired pneumonia (cCAP), it is infrequently recovered by culture-based methods. We studied the real-world clinical impact of an Spn PCR assay for pleural fluid.Methods This pre-post quasi-experimental cohort study compared pathogen detection, antibiotic usage, and outcomes in children hospitalized with cCAP requiring pleural effusion or empyema drainage at Children’s Hospital Colorado between 2016 and 2023. Patients were compared across two diagnostic periods: pre-Spn PCR and post-Spn PCR. Cox proportional hazard models compared time from admission to pathogen detection, optimal therapy (narrowest pathogen-directed or guideline-recommended empiric therapy), and MRSA therapy discontinuation between periods.Results Compared to the pre-Spn PCR cohort (N=149), the post-Spn PCR cohort (N=79) was more likely to have a pathogen detected (73.4% post-PCR vs. 38.9% pre-PCR, p < 0.001), driven by more Spn detections (45.6% vs. 14.1%, p < 0.001). Time to pathogen detection during hospitalization was shorter in the post-Spn PCR period (p < 0.001). The post-PCR cohort was more likely to receive optimal therapy (84.8% vs. 53.0%, p < 0.001), with shorter median times to optimal antibiotics (4.9 vs. 10.0 days, p < 0.001) and MRSA therapy discontinuation (1.5 vs. 2.5 days, p = 0.03). There were no differences in hospital length of stay or readmissions.Conclusions Spn molecular testing of pleural fluid in children with cCAP resulted in significantly more microbiologic diagnoses and was associated with the optimization of antibiotics and decreased exposure to MRSA therapy, suggesting its clinical impact for pediatric complicated pneumonia.

Infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are associated with high mortality rates. Optimal antibiotic dosage plays a crucial role in reducing MRSA burden; thus, the use of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in the clinical practice, especially of new drugs such as ceftobiprole, ceftaroline, dalbavancin and oritavancin, should be implemented.

Current Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) guidelines recommend the use of vancomycin (VAN) or daptomycin (DAP) monotherapy for the management of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infection (MRSA-BSI) [1]. Despite being the standard of care, mortality (20-30%) [2-4] and rates of microbiologic failure (10-16%) with this approach remain high [5]. Early efforts to utilize gentamicin synergy has not shown to be effective to improve outcomes of S. aureus BSI [6]. As summarized in Table 1, other combination antibiotic therapies by addition of rifampin, daptomycin, or fosfomycin to standard of therapy for S.

by Sabrina Sultana Rimi, Md. Nahid Ashraf, Sanzila Hossain Sigma, Md. Tanjir Ahammed, Mahbubul Pratik Siddique, Mohammad Ali Zinnah, Md. Tanvir Rahman, Md. Shafiqul Islam Biofilm development significantly enhances the virulence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), leading to severe infections and decreased susceptibility to antibiotics, especially in strains associated with hospital environments. This study examined the occurrence of MRSA, their ability to form biofilms, agr typing, and the antibiotic resistance profiles of biofilm-forming MRSA strains isolated from environmental surfaces at Mymensingh Medical College Hospital (MMCH). From 120 swab samples, 86 (71.67%) tested positive for S. aureus. MRSA was identified in 86 isolates using the disk diffusion technique, and by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), 56 (65.1%) isolates were confirmed to carry the mecA gene. The Crystal Violet Microtiter Plate (CVMP) test revealed that 80.35% (45 isolates) were biofilm-forming and 19.6% (11 isolates) were non-biofilm-forming. Out of 45 biofilm producer isolates 37.5% and 42.9% isolates exhibited strong and intermediate biofilm-forming characteristics, respectively. Molecular analysis revealed that 17.78% of MRSA isolates carried at least one gene related to biofilm formation, specifically icaA, icaB, and icaD genes were discovered in 13.33%, 8.89%, 6.67% of the MRSA isolates, respectively. In agr typing, the most prevalent group was agr I (71.11%), followed by group III (17.78%) and group II (11.11%). Group IV was not detected. The distribution of agr gene groups showed a significant difference among biofilm-forming isolates (p < 0.05). In agr group I, 18.75% of isolates carried the icaA gene, 12.5% carried the icaB gene, and 9.37% carried the icaD gene. Biofilm-forming genes were not detected in any of the isolates from agr groups II or III. There are no statistically significant differences between agr groups and the presence of these genes (p > 0.05). Antibiotic resistance varied significantly among agr groups, with agr group I displaying the highest resistance, agr group II, and agr group III exhibiting the least resistance (p < 0.05). Seventy-three (73.3%) of the isolates were multi-drug resistant, with agr group I displaying nineteen MDR patterns. The occurrence of MRSA in hospital environments and their capacity to form biofilm raises concerns for public health. These findings support the importance of further research focused on agr quorum sensing systems as a basis for developing novel antibacterial agents.

Alahmadi, Gurusamy Raman, Akbar Idhayadhulla Background Typical pneumonia is a pressing issue in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, where it remains a significant menace. Addressing this problem is crucial in improving health outcomes and the reduction of the burden of diseases in this vulnerable category of patients. Objective To determine the prevalence of community-acquired typical pneumonia among HIV patients in Public Hospitals in southern Ethiopia. Methods A cross-sectional study was done among 386 HIV patients clinically suspected of typical pneumonia attending the anti-retroviral therapy (ART) clinics of two hospitals from March to September 2022. A pretested structured questionnaire was employed to collect the demographic, clinical, and behavioral data. Sputum samples were collected and inspected for bacteria following standard procedures, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed employing the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. Besides, extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESβL) and carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative bacteria were inspected by the double disk synergy test and modified carbapenem inactivation method. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were also done. Results Overall, 39.1% (151/386) of sputum cultures (95% Confidence Interval: 32.4–44) were bacteriologically positive. A total of 151 bacteria were identified, comprising 72.8% (n = 110) of Gram-negative bacteria. The predominant isolate was Klebsiella pneumoniae (25.8%, n = 39), followed by Staphylococcus aureus (17.9%, n = 27); 59.6% (n = 90) of the entire isolates were multidrug-resistant (MDR). Forty percent (11/27) of S. aureus were methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), and 28.1% (n = 31) and 20.9% (n = 23) of Gram-negative bacteria were extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) and carbapenemase producers, respectively. Occupational status, alcohol consumption, cluster of differentiation4 (CD4) Thymocyte cell count < 350, interruption of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole prophylaxis and antiretroviral treatment, and recent viral load ≥ 150 were found statistically significant. Conclusion The higher rates of MDR, MRSA, ESBL, and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) indicate that bacterial pneumonia is a vexing problem among HIV patients and therefore it is advisable to implement an antimicrobial stewardship program in the study area.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a leading cause of fatal bloodstream infection, with mortality rates of up to 30% reported (1). In low-resource settings, first-line treatment with vancomycin is compromised by availability of the drug, lack of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), and cost. The majority of MRSA isolates globally remain susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX or co-trimoxazole). This antibiotic is widely available and cheap. TMP-SMX is often recommended as an alternative to vancomycin, particularly as an oral stepdown therapy, but there is a dearth of data assessing its efficacy for initial treatment of MRSA bacteraemia because it has been superseded by newer agents in high-income countries e.g., daptomycin, linezolid, dalbavancin, ceftaroline and ceftobiprole.

Abstract Background Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is one of the most widespread bacterial pathogens in animals and humans, and its role as an important causative agent of food poisoning is well-documented. The aim of this study was to highlight and characterize the resistance patterns of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) in charcuterie products sold in selected supermarkets (SM) in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso. Methods In this study, 72 samples including ham (n = 19), merguez (n = 22), sausage (n = 15) and minced meat (n = 16) were collected from 3 supermarkets. Standard microbiology methods were utilised to characterise S. aureus isolates. Phenotypic resistance patterns were investigated using the disk diffusion method on Mueller-Hinton agar. Genotypic testing using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed on the isolates to detect the 16S-23S gene. Using specific primers, the following genes PVL, TSST-1, mecA, gyrA, gyrB, qnrA, intI1 and aac(6’)-Ib-cr were identified from purified DNA by PCR. Results Among the 72 ready-to-eat food samples, S. aureus was present in 51, (70.83%). The yield was highest in both the ham and merguez food products, 15/51 (29.41%) each, followed by minced meat 12/51 (23.53%) and sausage 9/51 (17.65%). A total of 35 isolates (68.63%) were confirmed as S. aureus after molecular characterization using 16–23 S primers with 05 (14.29%) strains identified as MRSA. All of the MRSA and majority of the methicillin-sensitive S.aureus (MSSA) isolates were resistant to penicillin G, ampicillin, tetracycline and erythromycin, whereas one isolate from minced meat was found in SM3-harbouring PVL, TSST-1, mecA, gyrA, gyrB and Int1 genes. Conclusions Our study revealed a high prevalence of S. aureus in chacuterie products in Bobo-Dioulasso with antimicrobial profiles that show resistance to most antibiotics. These findings should inform and augment efforts to raise awareness among local supermarket owners on adequate food manufacturing practices as well as promoting food safety and hygiene.

Abstract Background Ruthenibacterium lactatiformans, a Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, obligate anaerobic bacterium of the Oscillospiraceae family, has not been previously reported in human infections. This study reports the first case of bacteraemia and potential vertebral osteomyelitis caused by Ruthenibacterium lactatiformans. Case presentation An 82-year-old man with a history of diabetes, chronic renal failure, and prior spinal surgery for spondylolisthesis and spinal stenosis presented with fever and lower back pain. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed multiple vertebral osteomyelitis lesions. Initial blood cultures identified methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which prompted vancomycin treatment. However, repeated blood cultures not only confirmed persistent MRSA, but also detected Gram-negative bacilli (GNB). Despite surgical removal of the spinal hardware and antimicrobial therapy, the patient’s osteomyelitis worsened, necessitating transfer for further management. Subsequent analysis using 16S rRNA gene sequencing identified the GNB as Ruthenibacterium lactatiformans. Conclusions This is the first documented instance of human infection with Ruthenibacterium lactatiformans, signifying its pathogenic potential in vertebral osteomyelitis. The involvement of anaerobic bacteria and the possibility of polymicrobial infections complicate the diagnosis and treatment of vertebral osteomyelitis. This report underscores the need for caution when identifying the causative organism and selecting an appropriate treatment.

by Diana Celi, Evelyn Quiroz, Andrea Beltrán-Noboa, António Machado, Eduardo Tejera, Paulina Fernandez-Soto The Pelargonium genus encompasses around 280 species, most of which are used for medicinal purposes. While P. graveolens, P. odoratissimum, and P. zonale are known to exhibit antimicrobial activity, there is an evident absence of studies evaluating all three species to understand their chemical differences and biological effects. Through the analysis of the hydroalcoholic extracts of P. graveolens, P. odoratissimum, and P. zonale, using HPLC-DAD-MS/MS, quercetin and kaempferol derivatives were identified in these three species. Conversely, gallotannins and anthocyanins were uniquely detected in P. zonale. P. graveolens stood out due to the various types of myricetin derivatives that were not detected in P. odoratissimum and P. zonale extracts. Evaluation of their biological activities revealed that P. zonale displayed superior antibacterial and antibiofilm activities in comparison to the other two species. The antibacterial efficacy of P. zonale was observed towards the clinically relevant strains of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) 333, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212, and the Vancomycin-resistant E. faecalis INSPI 032. Fractionation analysis of P. zonale suggested that the antibacterial activity attributed to this plant is due to the presence of quercetin derivatives and kaempferol and its derivatives, alongside their synergistic interaction with gallotannins and anthocyanins. Lastly, the three Pelargonium species exhibited notable antioxidant activity, which may be attributed to their high content of total phenolic compounds.

Tuttobene, Nicholas T. Salzameda, Robert A. Bonomo, Luis A. Actis, Raúl Raya, María Soledad Ramirez A growing increase in the number of serious infections caused by multidrug resistant bacteria (MDR) is challenging our society. Despite efforts to discover novel therapeutic options, few antibiotics targeting MDR have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Lactic acid bacteria have emerged as a promising therapeutic alternative due to their demonstrated ability to combat MDR pathogens in vitro. Our previous co-culture studies showed Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus CRL 2244 as having a potent killing effect against carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) strains. Here we report that cell-free conditioned media (CFCM) samples obtained from Lcb. rhamnosus CRL 2244 cultures incubated at different times display antimicrobial activity against 43 different pathogens, including CRAB, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and carbapenemase Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPC)-positive strains.

Abstract Background CKD patients on hemodialysis (HD) with Staphylococcus aureus (SA) bacteremia present high morbidity, mortality and increased risk of MRSA. Vancomycin is the antibiotic of choice in these cases, it has a narrow therapeutic margin and inadequate dosage generates a risk of toxicity, therefore, the recommendation is to dosage it through serum levels. Methods This is a retrospective cohort study in 3 hospitals of third level of complexity in the city of Medellin in which there were differences in the measurement and implementation of vancomycin25 dosage based on trough levels (VL) in patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis (CKD- HD) with uncomplicated bacteremia based infection by methilcillin-resistant Staphyloccocus aureus (MRSA). The primary outcome was the composite of hospital mortality, clinical response (fever, hemodynamic instability and altered consciousness), complications associated with bacteremia, or bacteriological response failure (positive cultures at first week follow-up) at 7 days. The composite variables were analyzed individually as secondary outcomes. Results The main unadjusted outcome (OR 1.3, CI 0.6 - 2.7) and adjusted for age, Charlson index, loading dose, initial dose, dosing frequency and MIC to vancomycin (OR 1.2, CI 0.5 - 2.7). Regarding adjusted secondary outcomes: clinical response (OR 1.4 CI 0.3 - 5.8), death (OR 1.3 CI 0.3 - 4.6) and complications (OR 0.9, CI 0.37 - 2.2). Conclusions We conclude that the measurement of trough levels in patients with HD-CKD does not modify the composite outcome. The main limitation is the sample size and type of study, randomized control trials may be required to confirm the results presented.
