Abstract
Aim: The present study investigated the antimicrobial effectiveness of a rhamnolipid complexed with arginine (RLMIX_Arg) against planktonic cells and biofilms of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Methodology: Susceptibility testing was performed using the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute protocol: M07-A10, checkerboard test, biofilm in plates and catheters and flow cytometry were used. Result: RLMIX_Arg has bactericidal and synergistic activity with oxacillin. RLMIX_Arg inhibits the formation of MRSA biofilms on plates at sub-inhibitory concentrations and has antibiofilm action against MRSA in peripheral venous catheters. Catheters impregnated with RLMIX_Arg reduce the formation of MRSA biofilms. Conclusion: RLMIX_Arg exhibits potential for application in preventing infections related to methicillin-resistant S. aureus biofilms.

[PMID: 38662332 PMCID: PMC11098996 DOI: 10.1007/s40121-024-00960-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most serious public health challenges worldwide, including in Japan. However, there is limited evidence assessing the AMR burden in Japan. Thus, this systematic literature review (SLR) and meta-analysis (MA) were conducted to assess the clinical and economic burden of AMR in Japan. METHODS Comprehensive literature searches were performed on EMBASE, MEDLINE, the Cochrane Library, and ICHUSHI between 2012 and 2022 following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines. MA estimated a pooled effect between the two comparative arms (AMR vs. non-AMR). The results were reported in measures of odds ratios (ORs) for in-hospital mortality and in standardized mean differences (SMDs) for length of stay (LOS) and direct medical costs. RESULTS Literature searches identified 1256 de-duplicated records, of which 56 observational studies (English, n = 35; Japanese, n = 21) were included. Of note, twenty-two studies (39.3%) compared the AMR group with non-AMR group. In the SLR, in-hospital mortality, LOS, and direct medical costs were higher in the AMR group compared to the non-AMR group. Eight studies were selected for the MA. In the AMR group, the pooled estimate showed a statistically higher in-hospital mortality [random effect (RE)-OR 2.25, 95% CI 1.34-3.79; I2 = 89%; τ2 = 0.2257, p < 0.01], LOS (RE-SMD 0.37, 95% CI - 0.09-0.84; I2 = 99%; τ2 = 0.3600, p < 0.01), and direct medical cost (RE-SMD 0.53, 95% CI 0.43-0.62; I2 = 0.0%; τ2 = 0.0, p = 0.88) versus the non-AMR group. CONCLUSION Our study presents an overview of the clinical and economic burden of AMR in Japan. Patients with AMR infections experience significantly higher in-hospital mortality, LOS, and direct medical costs compared with patients without AMR infections.

Comparison of disease and economic burden between MRSA infection and MRSA colonization in a university hospital: a retrospective data integration study. Antimicrob Resist Infect Control 2024; 13:27. [PMID: 38424606 PMCID: PMC10905874 DOI: 10.1186/s13756-024-01383-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2023] [Accepted: 02/10/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although there is a growing concern and policy regarding infections or colonization caused by resistant bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), the prognosis of MRSA infections compared to that of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) infections remains controversial. Moreover, there have not been any studies comparing both the burden of disease and its impact on the healthcare economy between MRSA infection and colonization while adjusting for confounding factors. These comparisons are crucial for developing effective infection control measures and healthcare policies. We aimed to compare the disease and economic burden between MRSA and MSSA infections and between MRSA infection and colonization. METHODS We retrospectively investigated data of 496 in-patients with MRSA or MSSA infections and of 1178 in-patients with MRSA infections or MRSA colonization from a university hospital in Japan from 2016 to 2021. We compared in-hospital mortality, length of stay, and hospital charges between in-patients with MRSA and MSSA infections and those with MRSA infections and MRSA colonization using multiple regressions. We combined surveillance data, including all microbiological test results, data on patients with infections, treatment histories, and clinical outcomes, to create the datasets. RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference in in-hospital mortality rates between matched MRSA vs. MSSA infections and MRSA infection vs. colonization. On the contrary, the adjusted effects of the MRSA infection compared to those of MSSA infection on length of stay and hospital charges were 1.21-fold (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.03-1.42, P = 0.019) and 1.70-fold (95% CI 1.39-2.07, P < 0.00001), respectively. The adjusted effects of the MRSA infection compared to those of MRSA colonization on length of stay and hospital charges were 1.41-fold (95% CI 1.25-1.58, P < 0.00001) and 1.53-fold (95% CI 1.33-1.75, P < 0.00001), respectively. Regarding confounding factors, hemodialysis or hemofiltration was consistently identified and adjusted for in the multiple regression analyses comparing MRSA and MSSA infections, as well as MRSA infection and MRSA colonization. CONCLUSIONS MRSA infection was associated with longer length of stay and higher hospital charges than both MSSA infection and MRSA colonization. Furthermore, hemodialysis or hemofiltration was identified as a common underlying factor contributing to increased length of stay and hospital charges.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), especially Methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA), has been disseminated across communities and hospitals, associated with severe infections and organ failure. In order to understand the clinical epidemiological characteristics of S. aureus stains in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University in 2018, the prevalence and the drug resistance of S. aureus stains were investigated, for improving the clinical effective prevention and control of S. aureus infection. METHODS A total of 105 S. aureus isolates were separated from wound infection of inpatients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University in 2018, and the department distributions and drug resistance of the isolates were analyzed. The genotyping homology analysis was conducted through the random amplified polymorphic DNA typing (RAPD-PCR) coupled with NTSYS cluster analysis. RESULTS Among the 105 strains of S. aureus, 31 isolates were MRSA. The prevalence of MRSA among inpatients in the Departments of Burn, Trauma, Orthopedics, Nephrology and Neurosurgery were 35.48%, 19.35%, 9.68%, 6.45%, and 29.03%, respectively. Among the 105 strains, 35.24% strains were the hospital-acquired infections (HAI) and 64.76% strains were community-acquired infections (CAI). DNA genotyping of the 105 S. aureus strains showed seventeen different groups, most of which were type I, type VII, type IX, and type VII, the others were scattered. CONCLUSION This study highlights the prevalence of S. aureus strains in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University in 2018. The emergence and mutation of the strains should be closely monitored for the prevention and control of the S. aureus infection and transmission in the nosocomial settings.

Economic and health impact modelling of a whole genome sequencing-led intervention strategy for bacterial healthcare-associated infections for England and for the USA. Microb Genom 2023; 9:mgen001087. [PMID: 37555752 PMCID: PMC10483413 DOI: 10.1099/mgen.0.001087] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 07/24/2023] [Indexed: 08/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Bacterial healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a substantial source of global morbidity and mortality. The estimated cost associated with HAIs ranges from $35 to $45 billion in the USA alone. The costs and accessibility of whole genome sequencing (WGS) of bacteria and the lack of sufficiently accurate, high-resolution, scalable and accessible analysis for strain identification are being addressed. Thus, it is timely to determine the economic viability and impact of routine diagnostic bacterial genomics. The aim of this study was to model the economic impact of a WGS surveillance system that proactively detects and directs interventions for nosocomial infections and outbreaks compared to the current standard of care, without WGS. Using a synthesis of published models, inputs from national statistics, and peer-reviewed articles, the economic impacts of conducting a WGS-led surveillance system addressing the 11 most common nosocomial pathogen groups in England and the USA were modelled. This was followed by a series of sensitivity analyses. England was used to establish the baseline model because of the greater availability of underpinning data, and this was then modified using USA-specific parameters where available. The model for the NHS in England shows bacterial HAIs currently cost the NHS around £3 billion. WGS-based surveillance delivery is predicted to cost £61.1 million associated with the prevention of 74 408 HAIs and 1257 deaths. The net cost saving was £478.3 million, of which £65.8 million were from directly incurred savings (antibiotics, consumables, etc.) and £412.5 million from opportunity cost savings due to re-allocation of hospital beds and healthcare professionals. The USA model indicates that the bacterial HAI care baseline costs are around $18.3 billion. WGS surveillance costs $169.2 million, and resulted in a net saving of ca.$3.2 billion, while preventing 169 260 HAIs and 4862 deaths. From a 'return on investment' perspective, the model predicts a return to the hospitals of £7.83 per £1 invested in diagnostic WGS in the UK, and US$18.74 per $1 in the USA. Sensitivity analyses show that substantial savings are retained when inputs to the model are varied within a wide range of upper and lower limits. Modelling a proactive WGS system addressing HAI pathogens shows significant improvement in morbidity and mortality while simultaneously achieving substantial savings to healthcare facilities that more than offset the cost of implementing diagnostic genomics surveillance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To provide an evaluation of predictors of 6-month mortality in incident Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia cases. METHODS A retrospective population-based study of 541 adult residents of Olmsted County, MN with monomicrobial S. aureus bacteraemia from 1 January 2006 through 31 December 2020. Multivariable Cox regression was used to investigate risk factors of 6-month mortality. RESULTS The median (interquartile range [IQR]) age of 541 patients with S. aureus bacteraemia was 66.8 (54.4-78.5) years and 39.6% were female. The median (IQR) Charlson Comorbidity Index was 6 (3-9). Overall, 144 patients died during the six-month period following their initial episode (30-day and 6-month mortality = 16.5% and 26.7%, respectively). In a multivariable analysis, older age, ICU admission, and unknown source of infection were significant predictors of increased 6-month mortality. In contrast, having an infectious diseases (ID) consultation was associated with reduced mortality in the first 2 weeks of follow-up. Secondary analyses revealed an early benefit of ID consultation during the first 30 days of follow-up and that infective endocarditis was an additional predictor of 6-month mortality. CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this investigation represents the only US population-based study evaluating predictors of mortality in patients with S. aureus bacteraemia. The finding of a short-term survival benefit associated with early ID consultation may be due to more extensive diagnostic efforts.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is an important causative pathogen of bloodstream infections. An amplification assay such as real-time PCR is a sensitive, specific technique to detect S. aureus. However, it needs well-trained personnel, and costs are high. A literature review focusing on rapid and simple methods for diagnosing S. aureus was performed. The following methods were included: (a) Hybrisep in situ hybridization test, (b) T2Dx system, (c) BinaxNow Staphylococcus aureus and PBP2a, (d) Gram staining, (e) PNA FISH and QuickFISH, (f) Accelerate PhenoTM system, (g) MALDI-TOF MS, (h) BioFire FilmArray, (i) Xpert MRSA/SA. These rapid and simple methods can rapidly identify S. aureus in positive blood cultures or direct blood samples. Furthermore, BioFire FilmArray and Xpert MRSA/SA identify methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), and the Accelerate PhenoTM system can also provide antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) results. The rapidity and simplicity of results generated by these methods have the potential to improve patient outcomes and aid in the prevention of the emergence and transmission of MRSA.

Abstract
Background Population-based studies of Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) in the United States are limited. We provide a contemporary evaluation of SAB incidence in Olmsted County, Minnesota, from 2006 to 2020. Methods This was a retrospective population-based study of all adult patients with SAB residing in Olmsted County from 1 January 2006 through 31 December 2020. Initial episodes of SAB were identified using the microbiology laboratory databases at both Olmsted Medical Center and Mayo Clinic Rochester. Results Overall, 541 incident SAB cases were identified with a median age of 66.8 (interquartile range, 54.4–78.5) years, and 60.4% were male. Among these cases, 298 (56.2%) were due to methicillin-susceptible S aureus (MSSA) and 232 (43.8%) cases of methicillin-resistant S aureus (MRSA). The overall age- and sex-adjusted SAB incidence rate (IR) was 33.9 (95% confidence interval [CI], 31.0–36.8) cases/100 000 person-years (PY). Males had a higher age-adjusted IR of 46.0 (95% CI, 41.0–51.0) cases/100 000 PY compared to females (IR, 24.4 [95% CI, 21.1–27.7] cases/100 000 PY). Age- and sex-adjusted SAB IRs due to MSSA and MRSA were 18.7 and 14.6 cases/100 000 PY, respectively, and the percentage of incident SAB cases due to MRSA fluctuated across the study period. There was no apparent temporal trend in SAB incidence over the study period (P = .093). Conclusions Our investigation represents the only contemporary population-based study in the United States. Despite the impression that SAB incidence may have increased based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention surveillance data, our finding of no change in SAB incidence was somewhat unanticipated.
