Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Screening: State-of-the-Art

Staphylococcus aureus Causes a
Variety of Pus-forming Infections
and Toxinoses in Humans
?Superficial skin lesions such as boils,
styes and furunculosis
?Serious infections such as pneumonia, mastitis,
phlebitis, meningitis, and urinary tract infections
?Deep-seated infections, such as osteomyelitis and
endocarditis
?Food poisoning, toxic shock syndrome, necrotizing
pneumonia
?Hospital acquired (nosocomial) infection of
surgical wounds and infections associated with
indwelling medical devices
Staphylococcus aureus: a Super Bug with Loaded Virulence determinants
Lowy.N. Engl. J. Med. 339:520-32, 1998
Virulence Factors E xpressed by
Staphylococcus aureus
?Surface proteins that promote colonization of host tissues ?Invasins that promote bacterial spread in tissues; leukocidin, kinases, hyaluronidase
?Surface factors that inhibit phagocytic engulfment: capsule, protein A
?Biochemical properties that enhance their survival in phagocytes: carotenoids, catalase
?Immunological disguises: protein A, coagulase, clotting factor
?Inherent and acquired resistance to antimicrobial agents
?Exotoxins that damage host tissues or otherwise provoke symptoms of disease: SEA-G, TSST, ET
?Membrane-damaging toxins that lyse eukaryotic cell membranes: hemolysins, leukotoxin(PVL), leukocidin
Evolving “Milestones ”of Staphylococcus aureus: Resistance to Antibiotics
?PRSA: penicillin-resistant S. aureus ?MRSA: methicillin-resistant S. aureus ?VISA: vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus ?
VRSA: vancomycin-resistant S. aureus ?CA-MRSA : community-acquired MRSA

PRSA
Emergency of CA-MRSA
?Dramatic emergence of new public health problem in recent years: infections with novel community-associated strains (CA-MRSA) in previously healthy individuals
?Most infections involve skin and skin structures ?Unusual frequency of invasive and lethal
infections
Epidemiology of CA-MRSA
?Increasing community-associated S. aureus infections are methicillin resistant: 2000-1 (56%), 2001-2 (57%), 2002-3 (78%)
?Risk factors included children, competitive athletes, prisoners, soldiers, native Americans, Pacific islanders, low socioeconomic status, IVDU, men who have sex with men
?Associated with unusually severe disease ?Septic shock
?Necrotizing pneumonia
?Necrotizing fasciitis
Drivers of Active Surveillance for MRSA
?Leading cause (8%) of nosocomial infections, especially surgical wound infections and pneumonia (28% each)?19,000 deaths attributable to invasive MRSA infections in 2005, most associated with health care delivery
?~1.5% of US residents carry MRSA in anterior nares
who are at higher risk of infection than noncarriers
?~25% of patients that become colonized with MRSA
during hospital stay subsequently develop infection
?MRSA is readily transmitted in health-care settings and causes frequent outbreaks
?>$500 million excess health care expenditures annually Diekema and Climo, 2008, JAMA, 299:1190
Nasal Swab Specimen Collection for MRSA
Screening
Laboratory Techniques for MRSA
Screening
?Conventional approaches
?Solid agar-based selective media
?Inhibitory substances: NaCl, tellurite, cefoxitin
?Chromogenic media: MRSA Select (Bio-Rad), CHROMagar
MRSA (BioConnections), MRSA ID (bioMerieus)
?Enrichment broths
?Molecular methods
?BD GeneOhm(Infectio Diagnostic, Ste-Foy, Canada)
?GeneXpert(Cepheid, Sunnyvale, CA, USA)
?Directly from screening specimens
?Rapid procedure done within 5 hours
?Multiple genes covered in one single reaction
?Nasal-rectal “dual”swabs
?Simultaneous screening for MRSA and VRE
Rapid and Simultaneous Screening of MRSA and VRE from Screening Clinical Specimens
?When: July 6 to November17, 2006
?Where: Waukesha Memorial Hospital, Wisconsin ?What:
?307 swabs: ear (4), nares(234), rectum (7) and skin (62)?Standard reference 1: routine culture (SBA and CAN)
?Standard reference 2: BD-Genom as tiebreaker for discrepant results between culture and MVPlex ?MVPlex: Genaco Biomedial Products, Huntsville, AL
StaphPlex Simultaneously Amplifies 18 Genes: How a Multiplex PCR Really Works
MVPlex Results and Interpretation
?Detection: Staphylococci, enterococci
?Identification: MRSA, VRE
?Speciation: 5 common CoNS
Sensitivity and Specificity of MVPlex in Comparison to Culture
Sensitivity, 93.7%; specificity, 89.9%
Sensitivity and Specificity of MVPlex in Comparison to A Resolved Standard
Sensitivity, 84.4% (culture), 97.8% (MVPlex), p=0.002
Specificity, 98.6% (culture), 95.8% (MVPlex), p>0.05
Technique Availabilities (1)
Conclusion A universal,
rapid MRSA admission
screening strategy did not
reduce nosocomial
MRSA infection in a
surgical department with
endemic MRSA
prevalence but relatively
low rates of MRSA
infection.
